Chucks with floating system (FMS ). Our machine is equipped with 4 moveable chucks. Commercially available tubes almost always exhibit a certain degree of bending. Thanks to the FMS system, the outer chucks (M1 and M4) can turn eccentrically around the theoretical pivot point. This system protects the mechanical chuck components and guarantees longterm reliability. 5 Productivity. Optimization of the cutting times and the loading and unloading times (4MMS ).

TUBE LASER CO2 laser and fiber laser technology The right cutting technology for every requirement. Depending on the materials that are to be processed and the desired cutting quality and level of productivity, users have the choice between CO2 laser cutting systems and fiber laser cutting systems. Fiber lasers achieve high cutting speeds in thin material thicknesses. Additionally they boast low power consumption while requiring little maintenance. The special properties of this laser cutting technology enable applications in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, such as copper and brass. CO2 lasers are characterized by their high cutting quality. Their primary area of application lies in the medium to high range of material thicknesses. The cutting edges achieved with the laser beam excel through burr-free cutting and low scoring. This means that the cut parts can be processed further without reworking. 17
18 TUBE LASER TTMaster TTMaster is the CAD/CAM solution that was developed by TTM Laser for the offline programming of tube cutting systems. TTMaster guides users through all phases of the programming process, from designing the parts through to the creation of the CNC programs. The software consists of three modules: 3D-Designer Technology creation production management The software guides the operator from the 3D modelling of the workpiece right through to the creation of the cutting lines and the final process file. TTMaster simplifies production management by optimally nesting the parts that are to be cut on the raw material, thus reducing material consumption and enabling a more efficient management of the entire production process. 3D-Designer The 3D design environment makes it very easy to model tubes and open profiles using parametrical drawings and the penetration of solids. An integrated database contains predefined cross-sections (round, rectangular, etc.) for tubes, profiles, and also for drilling. In addition, 3D master files, such as step and iges, can be imported. It is also possible to import and modify the worldwide IFC standard for the structural world (BIM) by opening the environment for the cutting of assemblies. Overview of the most important features: 3D modelling of tubes and open profiles Definition of drilling holes and processing of any shapes by extrusion of sections from dxf files Import of the most important 3D files, such as step, iges, and ifc
TUBE LASER 19 Technology creation Once the workpiece has been designed, the software automatically creates the suitable cutting process. It selects the optimized processing sequence, the correct positioning of piercings and cutting line guidance, the ideal cutting parameters for each application, and the angle of the head for bevel cuts. Overview of the most important features: Automatic creation of cutting profiles Bevel cut automatic management Automatic and optimized creation of the paths between processing steps with movements with lowered head, ping pong, or release Application of bevels ( V positive, V negative, Y positive, Y negative, K and X) for the processing of drawn or imported workpieces Calculation of paths with minimum material, maximum material, outer and inner cast skin Automatic or manual application of micro-joints Application of markings Availability of the lead-in catalogue: linear, round, etc. Manual procedures for lead-in adjustments, inversion of processing, layout modifications, parameter modifications, and head tilt adustments Visualization and graphical movement of the machine with corresponding simulation of the cut Creation of CN programs Production management Once the individual programs have been created, the production management phase begins. In this phase, the Nesting module ensures the correct and optimized positioning of the workpieces on the raw material. Overview of the most important features: Automatic nesting of several workpieces on the raw material Optimization of the number of beams used to cut the desired number of parts Creation of the best possible positioning Planning of non-orthogonal cut ends, rotation, and penetration of the parts in order to minimize material consumption Possibility to activate and deactivate the rotation restrictions for workpieces Common cut management Intuitive visualization (with colors) of the number of workpieces effectively positioned on the raw material
