Customer K is a tubular furniture manufacturing company situated in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, including school furniture and file cabinets.
The customer visited one of school furniture factory in Bulgaria in 2023 and found that they are used ST-FL80F series fast metal tube laser cutting machine.
The customer was deeply impressed by the ultra-fast cutting speed displayed by the equipment, which also made the customer remember our company.
The customer found that there are two different laser tube cutting machines ST-FL80F & ST-TP120F in our company's official website. But the customer need us to explatin the difference between these two machines.
He also share his requirements to us:
Round tubes diameter | 10-80 mm |
Square profile diameter | 10*10-50*50 mm |
Rectangular profile diameter | 20*10-60*40 mm |
Oval tubes diameter | 26*12 mm |
Cutting thickness | Maximum 2.5 mm |
Cutting length | Maximum 4,200 mm |
Material | Cold rolled welded tubes from carbon steel / stainless steel |
Raw material length | 6,200 mm |
Based on the customer's production capacity and the size of the pipes processed, we recommended the ST-TP120F to the customer and explained to the customer the difference between ST-TP120F laser pipe cutting machine and the ST-FL80F machine.
In addition, we also answered more details about the ST-TP120F series laser pipe cutting machine to the customer:
Q:what's the gas consumption?
A:Machines are suitable for both compressor air and nitrogen, they can also use oxygen by adding the proportional valve.
*compressor air: about 0.2-0.3m³/hour. Suitable for all metal cutting, low cost, only power consumption 8kW/hour. More than 95% of our customers choose compressor air for lower production cost.
*oxygen: 0.3-0.5m³/hour, suitable for carbon steel with better cutting result & less inner burr for thick pipes.
*nitrogen: 0.5-1m³/hour, suitable for stainless steel for better cutting result, more shinny on the surface.
Suggestion on compressor: must be high pressure(≥16 bars) , clean & dry. (We will recommend in quotation)
Q: how do I collect long pipes?
A: We can offer long workpiece supports when you cutting over 1500 mm.
Q: Is there any additional function to detect the tube seam?
A: Yes, we can add the seam detection function.
1) Photoelectric sensor - uses the difference in reflection thresholds on the surface of the pipe irradiated by laser to realize weld seam identification. It is required that the color difference between the weld position of the pipe and the surface of the pipe is relatively large.
2) AI image recognition sensor - realizes weld seam recognition by comparing weld seam position images on the pipe surface or inner wall
Q:Is there a way to connect the machine with the internet, so that you can access it from a distance and do if anything is needed such as reprogramming, debugging, finding an error or etc.
A: We offer a Wireless network card with each machine, with it machine can connect with the internet and our engineer offer technical support remotely.
The customer was very satisfied after receiving our answer. At the same time, our company was conducting a promotion event at the end of 2023, which can offer free after-sales service.
So the customer decided to purchase our equipment quickly.

Customer D is located in Bulgaria and mainly produces various furniture and related accessories, single-layer and double-layer bed frames. The finished products are mainly supplied to IKEA.
In order to cope with multiple designs of IKEA's furniture products, Customer D has been considering using new processing style for production from 2020, because the equipment in their factory at that time could no longer meet production needs.
Within 2 years, the customer has purchased 5 sets of automatic metal pipe and profile laser cutting machines.
When the customer discovered that the productivity, efficiency and product qualification rate of laser cutting had increased, they considered using automation in the welding module.
The customer specially sent some bunk bed frame samples to us for testing.
Although the customer hopes that all production equipment will be converted to laser processing, we consider that the bunk bed frame structure must be strong because it is used for children. Therefore, the laser welding is not enough strong for bunk bed frames processing.

Established in the early 20th century, with subsidiaries and factories in Germany, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, India, and China now.
Before using laser machines, their factories previously used CNC circular saw pipe cutting machines to process copper tubes used in the air conditioning industry.
However, the function of circular saw cutting machines were limited to only cutting off, requiring additional punching processes.
The complicated processing procedures force customers to consider using a more efficient processing method - laser cutting.
What's more troublesome is, due to the small diameter of the tubes they processed, The customer found a lack of manufacturers in the United States market producing equipment suitable for processing such precision tubes.
The customer sought a suitable supplier outside United States and discovered our high-speed precision tube laser cutting machine through our company's function.
Intrigued by our machine, they reached out to us with an inquiry.
The customer made the following requests to us:
Material | Copper |
Cutting diameter | Outer diameter 7.95-22 mm round tube |
Cutting thickness | 0.5-2 mm |
Accuracy | ±0.05 mm |
Other requirement | Machine should be met USA standards |
Understanding the customer's need to cut copper tubes, we equipped the machine with fiber laser source that excelled in cutting anti-reflective materials (Including aluminum, brass and copper).
Upon completion of machine production, we conducted tests using samples of tubes provided by the customer.

Customer M is a leading manufacturer of leisure furniture in Russia, established in 1990s, operating 3 factories across the country. With a focus on producing high-quality goods for the home and children, goods for winter walks and summer recreation.
Previously, the customer utilized a universal metal tube laser cutting machine for their production processes.
However, they found that the machine cannot cut small-diameter tubes precisely. Because when the machine cuts small-diameter tubes, the rotation of the pneumatic chuck always causes the tube to shake.
Recognizing the limitations of their current equipment, the customer urgently required an automated laser tube cutting machine specifically designed to process small-diameter tube components effectively. Because the company's development direction is maximum automation and robotization of production.
After visiting one of our customer factory in Russia and observed our fiber laser pipe cutting machine carefully in action, the client discovered through our official website that we showed ST-FL80F series fast automatic tube laser cutting machine that met their requirements.
The customer expressed the need for customized cutting lengths, as most of their workpieces ranged from 2.5 to 4 meters in length. Additionally, they inquired about whether our machine's automatic loading system is accommodated raw material tubes up to 3-4 meters length.
Upon reviewing the customer's specific needs, our R&D team determined that modifications to the machine's structure were necessary to meet their requirements.
We proposed a tailored solution that included the ability to customize cutting lengths and integrate an enhanced loading system capable of handling 3-6 meters length raw material tubes.
