Unloading System Streamlines Post-Cutting Operation
The optional unloading system is designed to streamline post-cutting operations by automating and accelerating the material removal process. With a 3-meter support and follow-up unloading capability, it ensures smooth handling of finished parts, reducing manual labor while supporting continuous, uninterrupted operation.
Pneumatic Chuck System Improves Cutting Stability and Accuracy
The EMP Cypher features a high-performance pneumatic chuck system engineered for stability and precision. Its front chuck uses dual cross-clamping rollers to grip tubes securely, allowing for rapid acceleration without slippage while maintaining cutting accuracy on longer sections. Three servo-driven follow-up supports adjust in real time to the pipe’s position and shape, minimizing deflection and vibration throughout the process. This intelligent handling system ensures tighter tolerances, smoother finishes, and consistent results, even at high speeds.
Dual Support System Adds Unmatched Level of Stability
In addition to the servo-driven roller supports, the Cypher features a dual support system near the front chuck, combining a roller follow-up with a concave wheel support to effectively suppress both radial vibration and axial movement during high-speed cutting of round pipes. In the cutting zone, a flap-style follow-up support provides stable, continuous contact, while intelligent servo control ensures dynamic, real-time adjustment across all the follow up supports for a level of stability that is unmatched in its class.
Ultra-Short Tailing Capability Maximizes Raw Material
The EMP Cypher is specifically designed to reduce tailing length, helping manufacturers maximize raw material usage and significantly cut down on waste. Traditional laser tube cutting systems often leave a substantial unprocessed section at the end of each tube, known as the tailing, because of limitations in chuck positioning. With its innovative front-moving chuck design, the cutting head can operate between both chucks, allowing it to cut much closer to the ends.
Ultra-Short Tailing Capability for High-Volume Production
This ultra-short tailing capability is especially valuable in high-volume production environments where material costs are a key consideration. Tail length is reduced to just under 1-3/16” of an inch (30mm), allowing for significantly more usable material from each tube. Over time, reducing leftover material leads to measurable savings. It also supports more efficient nesting and layout planning, helping manufacturers get the most out of every tube processed.
TubesT CAM software
The Cypher features TubesT CAM software which now streamlines tube-cutting design by letting users create parts directly within the software, with no CAD import required. Simply input shape and dimension parameters such as tube profile, hole size, or groove offset, and TubesT builds the geometry and toolpaths for you. This makes programming laser cuts accessible to users without CAD expertise and accelerates setup by eliminating file conversions, manual drawing edits, or shape importing processes.
Handles Variety of Tube Shapes and Profiles
The EMP Cypher is made to accommodate a wide variety of tube shapes and profiles, making it an ideal solution for manufacturers with diverse processing needs. In addition to standard shapes, the machine also supports rectangular, oval, and other custom profiles, offering exceptional flexibility for industries such as automotive, fitness equipment, construction, and furniture manufacturing. This adaptability allows users to take on a broader range of projects with a single, high-performance system.
Semi-Automatic Feeding Option for Low-Volume Production
The Cypher offers both semi-automatic and fully automatic feeding options, giving manufacturers the flexibility to match their production setup with their workflow demands. Ideal for lower-volume operations or high-mix job shops, the semi-automatic feeding system allows operators to manually load tubes onto the support rollers. The system then uses positioning sensors and alignment components to guide and correct the tube’s position before clamping. This setup balances precision with hands-on control, making it suitable for varied job orders or specialty tube profiles that require manual adjustment.
Fully Automatic Feeding Option for High-Volume Production
For higher-volume, continuous production, the fully automatic feeding system above significantly reduces manual labor and increases throughput. Tubes are automatically loaded from a bundled stack into the cutting zone using an intelligent material handling system. The result is faster loading times, reduced operator involvement, and improved overall efficiency, ideal for industries with large batch runs and minimal variation in part size or shape.
