Overview
One Platform for Sheet and Tube Cutting
The FL-CP&T series combines flat-sheet and tube cutting on one open platform for fabricators handling mixed metal parts. Available plate formats extend from 3,000 × 1,500 mm to 8,000 × 2,500 mm in the supplied series table, while the FerroLaser tube module supports workpieces up to 8,000 mm long. Double pneumatic chucks, automatic tube support and an autofocus cutting head help reduce transfers between separate machines. Final power, table size and tube range must follow the approved quotation.

Confirm the supplied sheet bed and tube module for each quoted model.
- One Machine, Dual Function
- High Precision Cutting
- Quick Switching, High Efficiency
- Space Saving, Cost Effective
Double Pneumatic Chuck
Front and rear pneumatic chucks center, clamp and rotate tube workpieces. Adjustable pneumatic clamping helps control grip while processing different tube sections and wall thicknesses.
FerroLaser official product detail; final chuck diameter and load rating require quotation confirmation.
Automatic Tube Support
The support system follows long workpieces during rotation and feeding to reduce unsupported span and tube sag. This is especially useful when processing tubes up to 6,000 mm long.
Intelligent automatic tube support ensures stable feeding and cutting of long tubes, improving cutting accuracy and processing efficiency.
FerroLaser official product detail; load capacity and number of supports require engineering confirmation.
Autofocus Cutting Head
The published FL-CP&T configuration uses an autofocus cutting head to adjust focus for different plate conditions, reducing manual setup between suitable jobs.
- Auto Focus
- High Precision
- Long Service Life
FerroLaser names Raytools on one official page; final brand/model must match the FerroLaser quotation.
