Fast setup · versatile profiles · practical operation

A dedicated tube-laser platform designed to lower the barrier to productive tube cutting.

The K Series combines rapid clamping, intelligent tube-processing software and configurable automation. The correct model should be selected around the real diameter or circumscribed size, tube length, wall thickness, material weight, profile mix and expected batch pattern.

01

Straightforward operation

One-click workflows and automatic drawing functions are designed to simplify common tube-processing tasks.

02

Stable dual-chuck cutting

Pneumatic chucking supports repeatable clamping and high-speed rotation across suitable tube and profile formats.

03

Automation when required

Optional loading and unloading systems can be added around the stock range, batch size and labour plan.

High-speed tube handling

Reduce non-cutting time without losing sight of stability and material utilisation.

Bodor publishes rapid chuck response, high rotation speed and high loading speed for the current K Series. Real cycle time still depends on tube shape, wall thickness, part geometry, pierce count, material handling and laser power.

Features and enhancements

Configure the K Series around the tube shapes, software and handling your factory actually needs.

Each feature should be confirmed for the selected K model. Images are retained from the original World Machinery page and remain editable in Elementor.

kseriesFeaturesContent-intelligenChuck Fast pneumatic chucks

Two-second clamping response

The K Series uses direct-drive pneumatic chucks designed for rapid clamping, stable rotation and straightforward routine maintenance. Confirm chuck range, jaw type and current model performance in the written specification.

kseriesFeaturesContent-differentTubes Profile versatility

Round, square, rectangular and special profiles

Process common tube formats and suitable open or custom profiles. The exact supported cross-sections, dimensions, wall thickness and material weight depend on the selected K1, K2, K3 or K5 configuration.

kseriesFeaturesContent-bodorNestTube Nesting software

BodorNest Tube workflow

Prepare tube layouts, optimise material utilisation and connect the cutting workflow with compatible engineering systems. Software versions, licences and external integrations should be confirmed before order.

kseriesFeaturesContent-edgeCollision Cutting-head protection

Edge collision prevention

When processing square and rectangular tube, the control system calculates corner movement to help prevent contact between the cutting head and the rotating workpiece.

kseriesFeaturesContent-slagCleaning Optional internal cleaning

Slag-cleaning module

An optional suction-based module is described for selected K1 and K2 configurations to help remove slag, debris and dust from inside the tube and reduce downstream cleaning.

Automation options

Loading and unloading configured around production

K-Trans, K-Loader Pro and unloading-rack options can reduce manual handling and support longer production runs. Select the handling arrangement from real stock lengths, profile shapes, batch sizes and floor space.

A compact route into dedicated tube and profile cutting. Confirm current diameter, length, weight, laser-power and automation combinations with World Machinery.

  • Confirm current working range
  • Confirm current laser power options
  • Match loading and unloading to your stock
K2K2

K2 general-purpose production model

A widely used K Series platform for general fabrication and repeated tube production. Current 6.5m and longer-format examples should be specified against the actual stock range.

  • Confirm current working range
  • Confirm current laser power options
  • Match loading and unloading to your stock
K3K3

K3 expanded processing capability

A configuration pathway for larger or heavier production requirements. Model limits and optional handling equipment must be confirmed in a current quotation.

  • Confirm current working range
  • Confirm current laser power options
  • Match loading and unloading to your stock
K5K5

K5 extended-range platform

The largest K Series pathway shown on the existing page. Use representative material and drawings to validate chuck range, loading, unloading and cutting performance.

  • Confirm current working range
  • Confirm current laser power options
  • Match loading and unloading to your stock

Model descriptions are application-planning guides. They do not replace the current manufacturer specification or a written World Machinery quotation.

Specify from real tube production

Choose diameter, length, power and automation from your material—not from a generic model label.

A useful proposal starts with representative tube drawings, profile shapes, material grades, wall thicknesses, stock lengths, batch patterns and output expectations.

01

Tube and profile shapes

List round, square, rectangular, oval, angle, channel, I-beam and any custom cross-sections that must be processed.

02

Diameter, wall and weight

Provide the minimum and maximum circumscribed size, wall thickness, stock weight and weight per metre.

03

Length and finished parts

Confirm incoming stock lengths, longest finished component, shortest parts and acceptable tail-material target.

04

Loading and unloading

Match K-Trans, K-Loader Pro and unloading options to profile shape, bundle size, labour plan and factory footprint.

K Series buying questions

What UK manufacturers usually ask before selecting a Bodor K Series.

Final answers depend on the selected model, tube range, laser power, software and handling equipment. World Machinery can prepare a current written configuration.

What tubes and profiles can the Bodor K Series cut?

The K Series is designed for round, square, rectangular, oval and other suitable metal profiles. Selected configurations may also process angle, channel and other open profiles. Exact dimensions, wall thickness and weight limits must be confirmed for the chosen model.

What is the difference between K1, K2, K3 and K5?

The four model families provide different working ranges, lengths, weights, power options and automation combinations. The correct choice should be based on actual stock and part drawings rather than model name alone.

How fast do the K Series chucks clamp?

Bodor currently publishes a fastest clamping response of two seconds for the pneumatic chuck design. Actual production time also includes material presentation, centring, piercing, cutting and unloading.

How much tail material does the K Series leave?

Bodor and older World Machinery material reference short-tail figures that vary by design and configuration. Confirm the current safety distance, special-jaw requirement and expected practical remnant for the model quoted.

Can the K Series load tubes automatically?

Yes, optional K-Trans and K-Loader Pro systems are presented for automatic or assisted cyclic loading of suitable tube and profile shapes. The loading package should be matched to bundles, stock length, shape and production rate.

What does BodorNest Tube do?

BodorNest Tube supports drawing preparation, tube nesting and material utilisation. The existing World Machinery page also references integration with systems such as Tekla and Tribon. Confirm the supplied software version, licences and import workflow.

Is internal slag cleaning available?

The existing World Machinery page describes an optional slag-cleaning module for selected K1 and K2 machines. Suitability depends on tube dimensions, process, material and the exact option supplied.

What UK support is included?

World Machinery provides UK application advice, demonstrations, installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing service support. The final commercial scope is defined in the written quotation.
