See the FIBER Tube machine in action
The FIBER Tube system is instant processing of hollow sections and tubes directly on a laser cutter. It replaces drilling, milling and sawing with a single, fully automated operation that guarantees continuous repeatability. Thanks to the advanced cutting dynamics, you get clean edges without further processing, which reduces production time by several tens of percent. This solution allows the realization of complex details, and in a configuration with a 3D head, it also enables precise beveling of edges for welding.

Solutions that optimize production time and costs
STIGAL machines are distinguished by precision cutting, the ability to perform chamfers and bevels, and automatic maintenance of operating parameters. Innovative 3D heads and advanced control systems allow the realization of complex projects, ensuring high quality parts and reliable operation even in the most demanding production tasks. Intuitive operation makes it easy to implement operators, and robust construction guarantees a long service life of the equipment. In this way, STIGAL supports the development of modern industrial plants.
Maximum use of material
In traditional tube and profile cutting systems, even a small residue of material after each cycle can generate significant waste on a production-wide basis. In the FIBER Tube 2C, the minimization of waste is the result of a movable chuck that arrives extremely close to the cutting head – so the end of the charge, which usually remains unused, is kept to an absolute minimum. In addition, two self-centering chucks firmly hold the material and allow for precise positioning, which translates into repeatability of the process and optimal use of each batch of raw material.
Synchronized operation of the chucks eliminates backlash and misalignment, ensuring that each part is cut exactly where it should be. However, it’s worth remembering that minimum waste depends on material geometry, cutting trajectory and machine configuration – you’ll get the best results when the right technological conditions are met. This approach not only reduces material costs, but also supports sustainable production and allows you to better plan orders.
Precision and flexibility in one device
Wysoka jakość i powtarzalność cięcia to efekt nie tylko precyzyjnej mechaniki, ale przede wszystkim zaawansowanej technologii głowicy tnącej. W FIBER Tube 2C zastosowano głowicę BOCHU z innowacyjnym systemem autofocus, który automatycznie dostosowuje ogniskowanie do grubości i rodzaju materiału – eliminuje to konieczność ręcznej regulacji i pozwala utrzymać stałą jakość cięcia nawet przy zmiennych parametrach produkcji. Zintegrowane czujniki monitorują kluczowe parametry pracy w czasie rzeczywistym, co minimalizuje ryzyko awarii i przestojów.
Opcjonalna funkcja fazowania umożliwia jednoczesne cięcie i przygotowanie krawędzi pod spawanie w zakresie od -45° do +45° (możliwe fazy typu V, Y, K), co znacząco skraca czas obróbki i eliminuje potrzebę dodatkowych operacji. Modułowa konstrukcja głowicy pozwala na szybką wymianę soczewek, a mechaniczna ochrona przed kolizją oraz odporność na wysokie moce gwarantują długą żywotność i niskie koszty eksploatacji. To rozwiązanie, które realnie zwiększa elastyczność produkcji i pozwala realizować nawet najbardziej wymagające projekty.

Stability, repeatability and full process control
Time-consuming and error-prone manual loading of material is a common problem in traditional production lines. FIBER Tube 2C solves it with semi-automatic feeders equipped with advanced sensors that continuously correct the position of tubes and profiles, eliminating the risk of collisions and speeding up preparation for cutting.
Two self-centering chucks play a key role here – their synchronized rotation eliminates axial runout, and stable clamping dampens vibration, which is especially important for long and thin-walled parts. The movable chuck allows the machine to arrive very close to the head, reducing material loss, and the universal jaws handle a wide range of sections, providing production flexibility. As a result, operators can focus on quality control and optimizing machine operation, and the entire line runs faster, safer and more economically – resulting in lower costs and higher quality finished products.
