An Economical Alternative

     As an alternative addition to the standard lathe-type cutoff machines for tube, pipe, rod and bar stock, Modern Machine Tool Company now offers a line of tube-cutting lathes equipped with sophisticated laser cutoff mechanisms.

     These precision machines are ideal for quickly cutting standard carbon steel tubing as well as difficult alloys and stainless.. all without costly tooling or coolants. They utilize many of the production-proven features that have kept Modern in the forefront of cutoff technology since 1916.

Faster, Cleaner, Burr-Free Cuts

     Available in five different models, with adjustable output lasers in various sizes, these efficient cutoff machines can effortlessly slice through hardened pipe and tubing from 1/2" to 8" O.D., with walls up to .300" thick.

     Tubing of any length can be cut quickly, precisely and cleanly, with no burrs and minimal kerf loss. Customers are able to realize substantial cost savings by speeding their production operations and reducing or eliminating post-production machining procedures.

Optional CNC Control

     CNC control permits precise C and Z axis rotational contour cutting, hole cutting and slotting. All machines are equipped with air-to-water or water-to-water chillers, and their hopper-type automatic tube feeders hold up to 10,000 lbs. of stock in any length.

Single-Point Control Console

     One centralized console controls the entire system, including feeder, cutoff machine, laser and chiller. Standard equipment includes: solid state programmable controller, AC variable speed spindle drive, adjustable micrometer stock stop, roller feed mechanism, automatic parts ejector, collet and guide tube, and safety interlocked Class IV guarding.

     Basic machines are available in various configurations to perform straight radial cutting or contour cutting. Special applications, such as dual machines utilizing a single shuttled laser unit, can be configured on request.
