ByTube Star 330 Efficient and flexible tube laser cutting system for all sizes of tubes and profiles
Do you want to process large diameter tubes? Not all tube laser cutting systems can do that
You want to process large and heavy tubes efficiently to meet growing customer expectations while increasing productivity, but there are restrictions that make this process difficult:
- Limited choice of machines: There is only a limited selection of machines that can process large diameter tubes.
- Manual handling required: The lack of options for automatic processing means that manual intervention is needed.
- Limited flexibility: Many tube laser cutting systems are not adaptable, and can often not be retrofitted.
The solution for efficient and flexible tube processing Our tube laser cutting system for large tubes
The ByTube Star 330 is a large 3D tube laser cutting system. It ensures an efficient and flexible cutting process as well as automatic sorting of the entire range of tubes up to 12.2 m in length and over 320 mm in diameter.
The most important features and functions of the tube laser cutting system are detailed below.
Flexibility in tube processing
The ByTube Star 330 processes tubes and open profiles across the whole range from 19 to 305 mm fully automatically without set-up times. Following a small manual adjustment, it is even possible to handle tube diameters of up to 324 mm.
Modularity to meet specific requirements
Our modular machine concept enables three different loading sizes and three unloading sizes, meaning that you get a total of six different charging combinations that can be flexibly adjusted.
Maximum speed for thick-walled materials
Our tube laser cutting system achieves the highest processing speeds for tubes with a diameter of over 250 mm and a weight of up to 40 kg/m.
Thanks to the powerful 6 or 10 kW laser source, there are no problems cutting thick-walled tubes, even at an angle.
Automation for efficient processes
The ByTube Star 330 works fully automatically and integrates various processes without manual intervention, such as
- drilling,
- threading,
- marking, and
- phase cutting.
Automatic loading and unloading enables continuous production — even 24/7 without operator intervention.
In addition, the option of fully automatic control of the cutting head and nozzle setup ensures a smooth operation.
Precision thanks to smart functions
Our tube laser cutting system offers various options for obtaining consistently high quality:
- Laser Scan & Weld Search Camera – for exact positioning and weld inspection.
- QuickCut (Performance Cut) – for the highest cutting speed with high precision.
- Nozzle Center Camera – to ensure an optimal nozzle position for a clean cut.
Efficient unloading and kit preparation
Various flexible unloading options enable optimum sorting and preparation of complete parts kits. Parts up to 12.2 metres in length can be efficiently unloaded and made available for subsequent processes.
Processes can be further optimized thanks to the high processing speed and the ability to automatically sort short tubes. As a result, the tube laser cutting system increases productivity.
Wide range of materials
The ByTube Star 330 offers numerous parameter sets to process all readily available materials and profiles:
- Closed and open profiles (C, H, I, L)
- Different cutting processes using nitrogen, oxygen, mixed gas and compressed air
