Does using automated machinery typically improve the efficiency of industrial production processes?
Bodor Laser introduced two new tube laser cutting machines at the EuroBLECH 2026 trade fair in Hannover. These systems, designed for industrial tube processing, feature advanced automation for cutting, drilling, and tapping.
Why it matters
Manufacturers are increasingly turning to highly automated, integrated processing systems to reduce cycle times in metal fabrication. These machines address production bottlenecks by combining multi-step operations into a single automated workflow.
The P Series machines reach acceleration speeds of 4G and processing speeds of 200 meters per minute. The flagship P6 model utilizes a 60kW laser, while the double-chuck series integrates cutting, drilling, and tapping capabilities into one unit.
The players
Bodor Laser
An international manufacturer of laser cutting systems, robotic welders, and automated metal fabrication equipment.
The details
The new equipment utilizes intelligent sensors and visual recognition to monitor weld seams and tube contours during operation. An intelligent stepless retraction mechanism allows for the loading of short tubes without the need for re-homing the machine axes. Additionally, the machines employ a fully floating chuck configuration to stabilize materials during high-speed cutting.
Timeline
October 20-23, 2026: EuroBLECH 2026 trade fair occurred in Hannover.
The Tech Race
Bodor Laser occupied more than 1,400 square meters of exhibition space at EuroBLECH 2026, positioning itself among the largest exhibitors at the show. This significant footprint highlights the company's aggressive expansion in the highly competitive global market for automated metal processing.
Industrial facilities focused on high-volume metal fabrication may benefit from the integration of multi-function machines that combine cutting, drilling, and tapping. Implementation requires evaluating existing floor space against the specific dimensions of the new P Series configurations.
The takeaway
The move toward 60kW processing speeds signals an industry-wide push for higher throughput in heavy-duty tube manufacturing. Watch for upcoming performance verification reports from industrial integrators to confirm if these machines maintain precision at maximum acceleration.
