Match the loader to the tube range, stock length and output required by your K Series laser.
The K Loader is an auxiliary tube-loading system designed to move stock from a material bin into the K Series cutting workflow. The correct loader should be chosen from actual tube dimensions, length, weight, bundle size, production mix and available factory space.
Multiple tube formats
Published configurations support round, square and rectangular material across different dimensional ranges.
Capacity matched to production
Select storage-bin capacity, tube length and machine layout around the batches and changeovers used in real production.
Automatic loading cycle
Move stock from the material bin to the K Series cutting line in a controlled sequence.
K Loader is intended to prepare, separate and feed suitable tubes into the connected laser workflow. A successful installation depends on consistent stock presentation, correct dimensional settings, safe operator access and the interface between the loader and the K Series machine.
Stage the required tube stock
Load the planned material batch into the storage area within the confirmed capacity and dimensional limits.
Separate and present each tube
The loading sequence prepares individual tubes for controlled transfer toward the machine infeed.
Feed the cutting workflow
Coordinate loader settings with the K Series job, tube format and production schedule before starting the cycle.
Simplified pneumatic operation
Use a straightforward loading mechanism designed to reduce energy demand and unnecessary complexity.
Bodor describes the current K-Loader generation as using pneumatic-cylinder motion instead of high-energy-consuming motors. The manufacturer also highlights a simplified transmission structure and fewer electrical components as contributors to lower energy use and a lower failure rate.
Cylinder-driven movement
Pneumatic motion is used for the recurring handling sequence on the current manufacturer configuration.
Simpler transmission structure
Fewer complex mechanical transmission components can simplify inspection and routine maintenance.
Integrated safety planning
The final UK installation should confirm emergency stops, guarding, loading zones, access and operator procedures.
Efficiency, capacity and footprint
Choose the loader around the production gains that matter in your factory.
Bodor publishes current-generation claims for faster cyclic feeding, increased tube storage and a smaller footprint compared with its previous generation. These are manufacturer comparisons and should be validated against the exact K Loader model, tube mix and site layout quoted for the UK project.
21.3%*manufacturer-stated reduction in cyclic feeding time versus the previous generation
10 tubes*manufacturer reference for maximum-diameter round tubes in the current material bin
41%*manufacturer-stated footprint reduction versus the previous generation
The percentages above are Bodor manufacturer comparisons for the current K-Loader generation. The K-LOADER1, K-LOADER2 and K-LOADER3 data below comes from the current World Machinery page and should be reconfirmed before order.
Tube-loading system planning
Review material compatibility, storage and line integration before selecting a loader.
Automation delivers the best result when the storage bin, tube range, stock length, machine infeed and operator workflow are treated as one connected production system.
Material rangeRound, square and rectangular tubes
Confirm the minimum and maximum dimensions, section tolerances, straightness, surface condition and material grades used in normal production.
Storage capacityMatch the bin to batch size
Use the expected bundle weight, stock count and material-change frequency to select a practical storage capacity.
Machine integrationCoordinate with the Bodor K Series
Confirm the compatible K Series model, tube length, machine hand, controls and physical interface in the written specification.
Factory layoutPlan loading access and safe circulation
Allow space for coil or bundle delivery, forklifts or cranes, operator zones, maintenance, emergency access and finished-part handling.

K Loader buying questions
What UK manufacturers usually ask before automating K Series tube loading.
Final answers depend on the selected loader, K Series machine, tube mix, stock length and factory layout. World Machinery can provide a current written configuration for the project.
What does the Bodor K Loader do?
K Loader is an auxiliary tube-loading system that prepares and feeds suitable round, square and rectangular stock into a compatible Bodor K Series tube laser, reducing repetitive manual loading work.
Which K Series machines are compatible?
Bodor currently describes K Loader as applicable to selected K1 and K2 configurations, while the World Machinery page publishes K-LOADER1, K-LOADER2 and K-LOADER3 data. The exact loader and machine combination must be confirmed in writing.
Which tube shapes can it load?
The current product information covers round, square and rectangular tubes. Size limits differ by loader configuration and should be checked against the actual section dimensions and tolerances.
What is the difference between K-LOADER1, K-LOADER2 and K-LOADER3?
The published configurations increase in physical size, tube range and storage-bin capacity. K-LOADER1 is the smallest reference, K-LOADER2 supports wider tube ranges and 6.5m or 9.2m examples, and K-LOADER3 publishes the largest storage capacity and tube range.
Does K Loader reduce energy use?
Bodor describes the current generation as using pneumatic-cylinder motion in place of high-energy-consuming motors for the recurring loading movements. Actual compressed-air and electrical requirements must be confirmed for the quoted system.
How much factory space is required?
Space depends on the chosen loader length, material-bin orientation, connected K Series machine, stock delivery method, guarding and maintenance access. A scaled factory layout should be reviewed before order.
Can World Machinery review our tube stock before quotation?
Yes. Representative tube sizes, lengths, weights, batch quantities and production schedules allow the team to assess model capacity, loading arrangement and likely automation value.
What UK support is available?
World Machinery can support application review, layout planning, delivery, installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing service for the agreed UK automation project.
