Benefits of Laser Cutting for Tubes and Profiles
Laser cutting of steel tubes and profiles is currently one of the most precise and efficient methods of metal processing. What types of profiles can be processed, and what benefits do the BLM Adige LT7 and LT Fiber technologies bring to both mass and prototype production?
Which tubes and profiles are worth cutting with lasers?
Advantages of the BLM Adige LT7 and LT Fiber technologies.
Laser cutting of steel tubes and profiles is one of the most accurate and efficient metalworking methods available today. In this article, we explain when it makes sense to choose laser cutting, which profiles can be processed, and the benefits of using BLM Adige LT7 and LT Fiber technologies in both mass and prototype production.
Why should you choose laser cutting for tubes and profiles?
Laser cutting of metal tubes and profiles is the ideal solution when the following are key:
high precision,
shape consistency across large production runs,
fast lead times,
reduced material waste.
When is laser cutting of tubes worth it?
➡️ Mass production:
Laser cutting is perfect for large-scale manufacturing – even complex shapes don’t significantly affect processing time, unlike traditional methods. Perforations, holes, and notches are made quickly without needing tool changes.
➡️ Prototyping and small batches:
For prototypes and short runs, laser cutting eliminates the need for investing in tooling. Test components can be quickly cut from different materials.
Where is laser cutting of tubes and profiles used?
steel and loft-style furniture,
advertising industry – mounts, stands, support frames,
construction – lightweight structural supports,
machinery industry – machine parts and components.
Who benefits most from laser cutting technology?
This technology is especially beneficial for companies that:
produce in series and require 100% repeatability,
create prototypes or short runs without investing in tooling,
need durable laser engraving (batch numbers, logos, markings),
work with thin-walled steel tubes and aluminium profiles,
want to optimise assembly processes by incorporating mounting holes at the cutting stage.
What can BLM Adige LT7 and LT Fiber technology do?
At Katarzynki, we use state-of-the-art BLM Adige LT7 and LT Fiber machines, which ensure high quality and flexibility:
cutting steel tubes up to 150 mm in diameter (wall thickness up to 8 mm),
cutting steel profiles up to 120x120 mm (wall thickness up to 8 mm),
processing stainless steel up to 6 mm thick,
laser engraving and marking (serial numbers, logos, QR codes),
working with our own material or customer-supplied stock.
➡️ Thanks to automation, these machines significantly reduce setup times and eliminate human error.
How to optimise a project for laser tube cutting?
To achieve the best results and reduce production costs:
include technological holes and notches already in the design stage,
choose the right material thickness and type,
order a sample if you want to verify quality,
plan for larger batches to better utilise machine time and materials.
❓ FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
➤ Is laser cutting suitable for thin-walled profiles?
Yes – laser cutting delivers exceptional precision even for thin walls, without deformation or burn marks.
➤ Is it worth using laser cutting for small orders?
Absolutely. For short runs or prototypes, you save time and money – no tooling required.
➤ What materials can be laser cut at Katarzynki?
We specialise in cutting black steel, stainless steel, and galvanised steel. We also accept customer-supplied materials.
