Simultaneous production stages
Bodor describes cutting, loading and unloading as coordinated operations, helping reduce waiting time between repeated tube batches.
Bodor M Series · Flagship four-chuck tube laser
Bodor M Series Four-Chuck Fibre Laser Tube Cutting Machine UK
A flagship tube-laser platform designed around four-chuck processing, simultaneous production stages and high material utilisation. World Machinery supports UK manufacturers with application review, demonstrations, installation, operator training and long-term service.
Tube range, laser power, stock length, loading, unloading, bevel cutting and weld-seam identification depend on the selected M2, M3 or M5 configuration. Confirm all details in a current written World Machinery quotation.

Four-chuck control · continuous flow · low waste
A tube-laser platform designed around the complete material cycle.
The M Series combines intelligent four-chuck processing with automatic handling and application-specific options. The correct machine should be selected from the actual tube shapes, dimensions, wall thicknesses, stock lengths, finished components and production targets.
Ultra-large cutting range
The square-round chuck structure is intended to widen the usable tube range, including large round and square profiles in suitable configurations.
Four-chuck material utilisation
The final workpiece can remain supported while the material moves forwards or backwards, helping minimise leftover tube under suitable nesting conditions.
A new era of four-chuck processing
Support, move and process the tube through the final component.
Bodor positions the four-chuck layout as the foundation of M Series productivity. Chucks can pair intelligently for different working conditions, while the material can be advanced or retracted for the final cut. Real benefit depends on tube dimensions, nest strategy, loading, unloading and the complete machine configuration.

Features and optional enhancements
Protect the process, automate unloading and add value before welding.
The six sections below use the existing images already published on the current World Machinery M Series page. Every option and performance claim must be confirmed for the quoted machine.
Laser-head protection
Edge collision prevention
When square or rectangular tube rotates, the control system calculates the corner path and plans avoidance to reduce the risk of the laser head contacting the tube edge.
Automatic part handling
Servo-flipping unloading plate
The servo-controlled plate adapts its movement during unloading and can separate finished workpieces from remnants, reducing repeated manual sorting and unnecessary movement.
Four-chuck production
Airtight pneumatic chuck
The dust-resistant airtight pneumatic chuck is designed for efficient clamping with reduced contamination and maintenance around the four-chuck mechanism.
Material utilisation
Four-chuck zero-tail strategy
The fourth chuck allows the tube to be moved forwards or backwards for the final component, helping minimise leftover material when the nest and configuration allow.
Optional weld preparation
High-precision bevel cutting
The optional bevel system can prepare angled edges during laser cutting, reducing separate grinding or machining for suitable welding and assembly applications.
Optional camera system
Weld seam identification
A high-sensitivity camera and identification workflow can locate internal or external weld seams so the cutting programme can avoid them where required.
M2 · M3 · M5 configuration pathways
Choose the four-chuck platform from real tube range, loading and output requirements.
The current Bodor range presents M2, M3 and M5. Exact diameters, stock lengths, laser power, automatic devices and option compatibility can vary, so World Machinery should confirm the UK configuration in writing.
M2M2 four-chuck production pathway
A four-chuck route for manufacturers prioritising accurate automated tube processing, reduced tail waste and a balanced production footprint.
- Four-chuck processing concept
- Application-led tube and profile range
- Confirm power, diameter and stock length in writing
M3M3 broader processing pathway
A configuration route for wider tube and profile requirements, heavier production and intelligent chuck-mode switching across different work scenarios.
- Four-chuck intelligent mode switching
- Broader processing requirement pathway
- Representative tube trials recommended
M5M5 flagship heavy-duty pathway
Bodor currently presents M5 as the flagship four-chuck option for heavy-duty production, including a manufacturer reference to tube diameters up to 530mm.
- Heavy-duty four-chuck configuration
- Manufacturer reference up to 530mm diameter
- Automatic loading options available
These cards organise the buying discussion and do not replace a current written technical specification. M5 diameter information is a current manufacturer reference.

Specify from real tube production
Match tube range, stock handling, options and downstream welding to the work you actually run.
A useful proposal starts with representative drawings, tube and profile types, material grades, wall thickness, stock length, finished length, batch patterns and target output.
Tube and profile range
List round, square, rectangular, channel, angle and any special profiles together with minimum and maximum circumscribed dimensions.
Material, wall and weight
Provide material grades, wall thicknesses, surface condition, weight per metre and any reflective-material requirements.
Stock, parts and throughput
Share stock lengths, finished lengths, hole and notch density, part families, batch sizes, shift pattern and output target.
Automation and optional processing
Review M-Loader or M-Trans handling, unloading, bevel cutting, weld-seam identification, part sorting and available floor space.
World Machinery UK support
From tube trials and line planning to installation and long-term service.
World Machinery can support the M Series project with application review, demonstrations, representative cutting trials, site planning, delivery, commissioning, operator training, planned maintenance and machinery-finance discussions.
Application review
Review drawings, tube formats, materials, wall thickness, stock length, part families and output expectations.

M Series buying questions
What UK manufacturers usually ask before specifying a Bodor M Series.
Final answers depend on the M2, M3 or M5 configuration, tube range, laser power, loading, software and options. World Machinery can prepare a current written configuration.
What is the Bodor M Series designed for?
The M Series is a flagship four-chuck tube-laser platform intended for automated, high-precision and low-tail-waste processing. It is suited to manufacturers that need stable support through the final tube section and a choice of loading, unloading and value-added options.
What is the advantage of four chucks?
Four chucks can pair in different modes to support the tube across varied working conditions. The material can also move forwards or backwards near the final cut, helping maintain support and reduce leftover tube when the nest and configuration allow.
Can cutting, loading and unloading happen at the same time?
Bodor describes the M Series as coordinating cutting with a new loading cycle or the completion of unloading. The actual overlap depends on the selected automatic devices, stock and factory layout.
Does the M Series always produce zero waste?
No universal zero-waste result can be guaranteed. Bodor presents zero excess material as a four-chuck objective. Practical tail length depends on tube size, wall thickness, part geometry, chuck clearances, nesting and the final machine setup.
What does edge collision prevention do?
For square and rectangular profiles, the control calculates the corner rotation path and plans an avoidance route to reduce the risk of the tube edge contacting the laser head.
Are bevel cutting and weld seam identification standard?
They are presented as optional. Bevel performance depends on the quoted head, angles, material and tube range. Weld-seam identification requires the camera and software package and should be validated using representative tubes.
What is the difference between M2, M3 and M5?
They are different M Series configuration pathways. Current diameter, length, power, handling and automation details can change. Bodor currently presents M5 as the flagship heavy-duty option and references tube diameters up to 530mm. World Machinery should confirm the exact UK build.
What UK support is available?
World Machinery provides application advice, demonstrations, installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing service support. The commercial and technical scope is defined in the written quotation.
