Bodor SK · High-speed tube laser cutting platform
Bodor SK High-Speed Fibre Laser Tube Cutting Machine UK
A high-speed tube-laser platform developed for repeated production, rapid chuck motion and simplified programming. World Machinery supports UK manufacturers with application review, demonstrations, installation, operator training and long-term service.
Acceleration, rotation speed, loading cycle, tail length, bevel capability and support options depend on the selected SK configuration, material and application. Confirm all details in a current written World Machinery quotation.

Extreme speed · intelligent workflow · repeat production
A high-speed tube-laser system built around the complete processing cycle.
The SK combines high-dynamic chuck motion, automatic loading, simplified drawing generation and intelligent nesting. The correct production package should be selected from the actual tube shapes, diameter range, wall thickness, stock length, part mix and output target.
Concurrent loading
Automatic loading can prepare the next tube while the final piece of the current tube is being processed.
Simplified programming
Three-step self-drawing and AI-assisted nesting are intended to reduce manual preparation for repeat product families.
Real test, hard power
Manufacturer-tested speed references for high-volume tube production.
Bodor publishes maximum references of 2.7G acceleration and 260r/min rotation, together with a 2.5-second rear-chuck positioning example. These values come from Bodor laboratory testing and should be treated as machine references rather than guaranteed cycle times for every part.

Bodor notes that environment, machine condition, material and operator skill can change real-world results. Representative cutting trials are recommended.

Features and optional enhancements
Configure the SK around speed, support, material utilisation and downstream fabrication.
Each function should be confirmed for the quoted SK machine and option package. Images are retained from the original World Machinery page and remain editable in Elementor.
Laboratory-tested dynamics
2.7G acceleration and 260r/min rotation
Bodor publishes maximum references of 2.7G acceleration and 260r/min rotation for the SK high-speed platform. These are laboratory figures and should be confirmed against the quoted machine and your production material.
Processing-efficiency comparison
More output from repeated small-feature work
Bodor reports a 20% or greater processing-efficiency increase in its comparison testing and a specific small-circle example of 500 pieces per minute. Treat these as manufacturer test references rather than guaranteed customer cycle times.
High-speed machine structure
Sky Bow structure for balanced chuck motion
The triangular transmission structure is intended to distribute torque more evenly and support stable movement of the chuck during high-speed production. Hardened clamping jaws and sealed internal dust protection are also highlighted by Bodor.
Concurrent automation
Eight-second loading while cutting continues
The automatic loading system is described as preparing the next tube while the current workpiece is still being processed. Bodor publishes an eight-second loading reference under its test conditions.
Faster non-cutting motion
Upgraded Z-axis following algorithm
Bodor states a 60m/min laser-head Z-axis speed and a 25% idle-speed improvement compared with the previous generation. Real benefit depends on part geometry, pierce strategy and programmed path.
Simplified drawing workflow
Three-step self-drawing
Select the tube type, generate the drawing from parameters and move to one-key processing. This workflow is intended to reduce manual drawing effort for repeated handrail, security-window and guardrail products.
Material utilisation
AI-assisted intelligent nesting
The upgraded nesting strategy is intended to optimise cutting paths and reduce tube waste. Bodor publishes a 30% cutting-efficiency comparison against traditional nesting and an annual saving example exceeding 1,000 tubes under its assumptions.
Long-part accuracy
Front chuck advance with dual clamping
The front chuck can advance over the cutting-head position so the final long workpiece remains supported between both chucks, helping preserve stability through the end of the tube.
Optional support package
Dual-zone all-servo following support
Optional loading-zone rollers, a deep U-shaped bionic support and an unloading following plate are described for maintaining tube support and consistency across the complete processing cycle.
Optional material-saving process
Zero-tail cutting under suitable nesting
Bodor presents zero-scrap cutting as an optional configuration under reasonable nesting conditions. Practical remnant length depends on tube dimensions, chuck arrangement, part geometry and the final machine setup.
Optional value-added cutting
Bevel cutting in one pass
The optional bevel system uses a zero-swing-length concept to reduce tube movement and head travel. Bodor describes zero-gap seam-welding preparation on suitable parts, subject to the quoted bevel range and material conditions.
Application-led configuration routes
Choose the high-speed core, automation and optional processing package from real production needs.
The SK is presented as a high-speed platform with optional handling and value-added processing functions. Exact tube range, stock length, laser power, automation and option compatibility must be confirmed in writing.

SK buying questions
What UK manufacturers usually ask before specifying a Bodor SK.
Final answers depend on tube range, laser power, loading, software and optional equipment. World Machinery can prepare a current written configuration.
What is the Bodor SK designed for?
The SK is a high-speed tube-laser platform aimed at repeated, high-volume production. It combines rapid chuck movement, high rotation speed, automatic loading, simplified drawing and intelligent nesting. Suitability depends on the actual tube range and parts.
Are the 2.7G and 260r/min figures guaranteed in production?
No. They are manufacturer maximum references from Bodor laboratory testing. Real throughput depends on tube size, wall thickness, material, part geometry, pierce count, stock handling, programme and operator practice.
How does the eight-second loading reference work?
Bodor describes the automatic loader preparing the next workpiece while the current tube is still being processed. The eight-second figure is a manufacturer test reference and depends on the loading arrangement and stock.
What is three-step self-drawing?
The workflow lets the operator select the tube type, create a drawing from parameters and move to one-key processing. It is intended for common repeated products such as handrails, security windows and guardrails.
What does AI intelligent nesting do?
The system plans a cutting route intended to improve cutting efficiency and material utilisation. Bodor publishes a 30% comparison against traditional nesting and an annual saving example, but the actual benefit depends on the real part mix.
How does front-chuck advance protect long-part accuracy?
The front chuck moves forward with the material so the final long workpiece can remain clamped between both chucks around the cutting zone, reducing the instability associated with single-chuck support.
Are zero-tail and bevel cutting standard?
They are described as optional. Zero-tail performance depends on reasonable nesting and the final chuck arrangement. Bevel capability depends on the quoted head, angles, tube range, material and software.
What UK support is available?
World Machinery provides application advice, demonstrations, installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing service support. The exact commercial scope is defined in the written quotation.
