Multi-material | intelligent | compatible
One production platform for mixed structural-steel work rather than separate machines for every format.
U10 is aimed at manufacturers that process a combination of structural profiles, sheet and tube. The machine can be configured with the relevant support table and processing devices so a wider mix of work can pass through one digital production route.
Intelligent processing
Real-time deviation correction and path adjustment are intended to improve positioning and reduce avoidable head-collision risk on profiles.
Multiple compatibilities
Published compatibility includes Tekla drawing workflows and suitable existing plasma-cutting foundations, with an optional steel foundation also described.
All-in-one steel processing
Arrange continuous loading, cutting and unloading across different material formats.
The current World Machinery and Bodor information presents U10 as a flexible long-format system. Different working zones and optional handling arrangements can support a continuous production cycle while the machine is configured around the customer’s real material mix.
Mixed material planning
Specify the platform around the profiles, sheet sizes, tube dimensions, lengths and material grades that actually enter production.
Continuous production zones
A flexible material arrangement can allow one zone to process while another is prepared for loading or unloading.
One digital workflow
Bring drawing preparation, processing code and machine operation together so fewer jobs need to be recreated between separate processes.
Published processing envelope
A long-format system that must be specified around the complete workpiece and factory layout.
The current World Machinery page publishes reference ranges for profiles, straight and bevel sheet cutting, square and round tube, processing length and laser power. These figures are useful for initial comparison, but usable capacity depends on the chosen configuration, supports, workholding, geometry and access.
Profile range
Published reference: 100 x 100mm to 1500 x 600mm, with profile lengths up to 28,000mm.
Sheet range
Published reference: straight cutting up to 3200 x 28,000mm and bevel cutting up to 2800 x 28,000mm.
Tube range
Published reference: square and round tube from 200-850mm, and round-only processing from diameter 100-1200mm.
Power and footprint
The current page lists 6000-20,000W and overall dimensions of approximately 33,900 x 5030 x 4100mm.
Material and process capability
Configure U10 around the profiles, sheet and tube work that creates the greatest production value.
The images below are the existing World Machinery U10 visuals. Optional tables, supports and processing devices are shown in some images, so every quoted function must be checked against the final specification.
Structural profiles
Profile cutting one-stop solution
Process suitable standard and special profiles with perforation, beveling, notching, marking and length cutting within the supported geometry and configuration.
Optional blade worktable
Metal sheet cutting
With the appropriate blade worktable, U10 can perform programmed perforation, straight cutting and suitable bevel cutting on long metal sheet.
Optional tube device
Square and round tube processing
The published tube-processing option supports perforation, bevel cutting and intersection-line cutting across suitable square and round tube sizes.
Positioning intelligence
Deviation correction close-up
The existing visual illustrates real-time path adjustment around profile variation, helping the machine maintain the programmed relationship to the workpiece.
Drawing-led production
Tekla-compatible workflow
Published drawing compatibility is intended to reduce manual ungrouping and support generation of processing code for subsequent operations.
Three material families
Profiles, sheet and tubes crafted right
The U10 concept brings the major material formats into one configurable platform rather than limiting the production cell to only one workpiece type.
Intelligent workflow and installation options
Four U10 functions that can reduce manual adjustment and simplify mixed-production planning.
These functions are described by the manufacturer and shown on the existing World Machinery page. Their commercial value depends on the actual work mix, software route, existing foundation, material condition and operator process.
Profile positioning
Intelligent deviation correction
U10 can adjust the cutting path around detected profile deviation, helping reduce misalignment and avoid unnecessary laser-head collision risk.
- Real-time path adjustment described by Bodor
- Designed for variable structural-profile conditions
- Validate on representative sections and tolerances
Structural software route
Tekla drawing compatibility
The published workflow supports rapid drawing ungrouping and automatic generation of processing code for subsequent U10 operations.
- Drawing-led preparation
- Automatic processing-code generation described
- Confirm licences, versions and file workflow before ordering
Production continuity
Multi-material loading
A flexible combination of material zones is intended to support continuous loading, cutting and unloading across the planned production mix.
- Profiles, sheet and tube can be planned together
- Working zones depend on final configuration
- Review cranes, forklifts and material routes at survey stage
Site integration
Flexible foundation compatibility
Bodor describes compatibility with suitable plasma-cutting foundations, together with an optional steel foundation for more flexible installation planning.
- Potential reuse of a suitable existing foundation
- Optional steel foundation described
- Structural survey and written approval remain essential
All capacities, optional functions and installation claims must be confirmed for the exact U10 configuration. Material straightness, profile geometry, support arrangement, programme, consumables and required edge standard can materially affect achievable results.
Mixed structural-steel applications
Specify U10 around the material families and secondary operations you want to consolidate.
A useful U10 project starts with real drawings, stock sizes and a clear view of the existing process route. World Machinery can review where one configurable laser platform may reduce handling, manual marking, drilling, notching, bevel preparation or repeated setup.
Structural fabrication
Beams, channels, angles, flat-bulb steel and related profiles for buildings, frames, platforms and engineered structures.
Vehicle and transport structures
Longitudinal beams, chassis members and mixed profile or sheet components requiring holes, cut-outs, bevels and end preparation.
Cranes and lifting equipment
Overhead-crane beams, widened wing plates and long structural components with repeated programmed features.
Mixed-job fabrication
Manufacturers that need to move between profile, long sheet and large tube work without dedicating a separate laser cell to each format.
From work mix to supported production
A structured route to specifying a long-format multi-material U10 installation.
Because U10 can involve multiple workholding systems and a substantial footprint, the machine, software, foundation, utilities, material flow and downstream processes should be planned together.
Application and drawing review
Share profile families, sheet and tube sizes, material grades, thicknesses, lengths, drawings, annual volume and priority operations.
Process and option validation
Identify which worktable, tube device, supports, bevel functions and software route are required, then validate representative parts where appropriate.
Site, foundation and handling plan
Confirm floor and foundation suitability, full line footprint, access, extraction, power, gases, cranes, forklifts, loading zones and unloading routes.
Installation and production handover
Coordinate delivery, commissioning, operator training, initial production support and a long-term maintenance plan.
UK supply and long-term support
World Machinery can support the U10 project from initial work review to installation and service.
A multi-material laser project needs commercial and technical planning across the machine, factory and production workflow. World Machinery can coordinate the UK specification, delivery, commissioning, training and ongoing service scope agreed for the installation.
