Why Choose a Combined Sheet and Tube Fiber Laser Cutter?
Most metal fabrication shops run separate machines for sheet and tube cutting. A combined fiber laser cutter removes that duplication—and the cost premium that goes with it.
In a standard workshop layout, flat sheet metal flows to a dedicated flatbed laser, with the tube and pipe operation flowing to a separate tube cutting line. That leaves you with two machines, two footprints, two maintenance schedules, and—most critically—two operators—or one operator scurrying between stations. A combined sheet-and-tube fiber laser cutter changes the math entirely.
EETO’s FLXP-GII and FLSP series combine a high-precision flatbed cutting area with a pneumatic rotary chuck system within one machine frame. One fiber laser source, one CNC controller, one cutting head performs both functions. Flip it from cutting 10mm carbon steel plate to processing 80mm-square tube in minutes—rather than hours.
The productivity benefits are tangible. A combined unit generally reduces factory floor space requirements by 30-40% over running two standalone machines. Setup and changeover between sheet and tube jobs falls from what generally takes hours with two separate machines to what usually takes less than 5 minutes with a combo system. For small- to mid-size fabrication shops handling both sheet metal parts and tubular components, this flexibility means faster delivery and increased throughput without requiring additional floor area.
Industrial fiber laser cutters operating at 1070nm wavelength provide superb beam quality and energy efficiency, reflecting the industry standard for contemporary metal cutting production so that speed, precision, and cost-per-part all benefit.
Dual Capability
Cut sheet metal and tube/pipe profiles on a single machine. One laser source, one operator, one investment.
Reduced Footprint
Generally saves 30-40% floor space compared to separate sheet and tube cutting systems in conventional workshop layouts.
Lower Total Cost
Single purchase of a machine, single operating agreement, single operator—substantially lower investment and operational costs versus two systems.
Faster Changeover
Changing from sheet to tube cutting takes less than 5 minutes. No re-tooling, no recalibration, and no job-to-job downtime.
Sheet Metal Laser Cutting Machine — Flatbed Cutting Performance
The flatbed cutting area is the workhorse of any metal sheet laser cutter. Among laser metal cutting machines on the market, EETO’s fiber laser metal cutting systems stand out for their range — the FLXP-GII and FLSP series cut carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper and brass across power levels from 1.5kW to 20kW.
Sheet metal laser cutting performance depends on the interaction between laser power, material type, thickness, and assist gas. Carbon steel (mild steel) uses oxygen as the assist gas for an exothermic reaction that augments cutting power — that’s why carbon steel maximum thickness is always higher than stainless steel for a given laser wattage. Stainless steel and aluminum typically use nitrogen for clean, oxide-free edges. Brass and copper require high purity nitrogen at high power density because of good thermal conductivity and high reflectivity.
Below is maximum cutting thickness by material and laser power (at the workpiece). These are “production-grade” values – the thickness at which you can manage reliable and clean cuts with reasonable edge quality and speed; not theoretical maximums that abandon quality or productivity.
| Laser Power | Carbon Steel (O₂) | Stainless Steel (N₂) | Aluminum (N₂) | Brass (N₂) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5 kW | 12 mm | 4 mm | 3 mm | 2 mm |
| 2 kW | 16 mm | 6 mm | 4 mm | 3 mm |
| 3 kW | 16 mm | 8 mm | 5 mm | 4 mm |
| 6 kW | 20 mm | 16 mm | 8 mm | 6 mm |
| 8 kW | 22 mm | 18 mm | 10 mm | 8 mm |
| 12 kW | 25 mm | 20 mm | 12 mm | 10 mm |
| 15 kW | 30 mm | 25 mm | 16 mm | 10 mm |
| 20 kW | 40 mm | 30 mm | 18 mm | 12 mm |
Maximum cut thickness (according to EETO FLSP series technical specifications) wherein actual cutting power and speed may be different depending upon grade of material, surface conditions and assist gas pressure;
Apart from thickness ability, cut quality is also significant. EETO machines produce kerf widths typically between 0.1-0.3mm depending on material and power, with surface roughness that meets ISO 9013 thermal cutting quality standards. Boci’s Pro-cutter cutting head maintains consistent focal position through closed-loop height sensing, which is critical for maintaining edge quality across large sheet formats.

Tube Laser Cutting Machine — Pipe & Profile Processing Capabilities
Tube and profile cutting is where the EETO combined tube cutting machine becomes a genuine differentiator. Process round pipe, square tube, rectangular sections, and specialty profiles — all with automated rotary positioning and CNC-controlled 2D and 3D laser cutting.
The tube cutting system uses a pneumatic chuck with automatic centering that grips the tube, rotates it at up to 150 rpm, and positions it with 0.1mm repeatability. It handles single tubes weighing up to 180 kg and feeding lengths up to 6 meters. Automatic loading systems are available for higher-volume automated tube processing workflows.
Complete integrated tube profile libraries are included with the Fscut 3000S CNC system. Simply specify the profile type—round, square, rectangular—and the controller will automatically determine the appropriate tool path taking into account the tube shape. For complex structural tube to tube joints, saddle cut miter jobs, and notch pattern cutting, the system produces the 3D path from a set of basic parametric variables – enabling precise fit-up of finished parts prior to welding. Ideal for furniture manufacturing, fitness equipment production, and construction jobs involving structural tube joints.
Tube Diameter Range by Model
The FLXP-GII (enclosed high-end) handles tube diameters from 20mm to 200mm. Its open-type counterpart, the FLSP, handles 20mm to 160mm. Both models handle the same range of standard profile geometries listed below.

Application Case Studies
Metal Fabrication Workshop — Sheet Cutting Focus
Challenge
A medium size fabrication shop was operating an aging CO2 laser with a manual plasma table. An increase in production of stainless steel and aluminum components revealed the limits of both machines - slow cutting speed in reflective metals, poor edge quality requiring secondary grinding, high power consumption.
Solution
The shop replaced both machines with a single EETO 6kW fiber laser cutting machine with a 6050×1530mm bed. Fiber laser's superior absorption at 1070nm eliminated the reflective metal issues, and the larger bed format reduced material handling time.
Results
- 3mm stainless steel cutting speed increased by 2-3x over the CO2 system
- Secondary grinding was almost eliminated due to better edge quality on parts thinner than 6mm
- Electricity consumption per hour of operation reduced by over 50%
- Single-machine operation reduced staffing requirements for the cutting department
Furniture Manufacturer — Tube Cutting Focus
Challenge
A furniture manufacturer was cutting tube stock on a band saw and grinding the joints. Each frame assembly had several separate setups, and joint fit-up quality varied widely - resulting in excess weld fill, rework and time.
Solution
An EETO 3kW combined laser cutter was purchased and configured with the tube cutting function employed for tube assembly parts, and the flatbed used for brackets, panels and mounting plates. Its CNC system coupled with the tube profile library automated saddle cuts and miter joints.
Results
- Preparation time for tube joints was eliminated as the shop moved from grinding to CNC cutting
- Weld fit-up quality improved so weld filler usage was often reduced
- Sheetwork brackets and tube frames were fabricated on one machine
- CNC time for new product drawings was reduced because of fast programming
Construction Company — Combined Sheet + Tube
Challenge
A structural steel fabricator welds gusset plates, base plates, and connector brackets (sheetwork), as well as HSS tube columns, bracing and handrail components (tube work). Outsourcing tube cutting caused delays and quality fluctuations, the shop cut tube work in-house using an aging CNC plasma.
Solution
An EETO 8kW FLXP-GII enclosed machine was purchased due to site safety considerations, and 8kW power was suitable for the typical 10-22mm carbon steel in structural components.
Results
- Tube cutting was brought in-house, removing outsourcing delays
- Tube and sheet components for the same project were routinely cut on one machine in a single shift
- Cutting accuracy (0.03mm positioning) improved fit-up quality on structural connections
- Projects could be delivered faster by unifying the cutting process

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much does a fiber laser cutting machine cost?
Pricing depends on laser power, bed size, tube cutting capability, laser source brand, and automation level. Entry-level 1.5-3kW combined sheet-and-tube machines represent the lowest investment tier, while 12-20kW high-power systems with full automation are at the upper end. EETO machines are priced manufacturer-direct, eliminating middleman markups. For a detailed breakdown, see our cost analysis section above, or request a custom quote for your specific configuration.
Which is better: CO2 or fiber laser for metal cutting?
The fiber laser is better for metal cutting in virtually every category. The 1070nm wavelength is better absorbed by metals resulting in 2-3X faster cut speeds on thinner material, electric power use 60% less, and virtually no optical path maintenance. CO2 lasers hold the lead only for non-metallic materials (wood, acrylic, fabric). See our detailed comparison for the full technical details.
How thick of steel can a 6kW laser cut?
The 6kW fiber laser cuts carbon steel up to 20mm (with oxygen assist gas), stainless steel up to 16mm (nitrogen), aluminum to 8mm, brass up to 6mm. These are production grade maximums- the thickness at which you get consistent cut quality at a reasonable speed. It could be possible to cut thicker at lower speed and quality.
What materials can a fiber laser cut?
EETO fiber laser cutting machines cut carbon steel (mild steel), stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, galvanized steel, titanium and spring steel. Maximum thickness depends on the laser power - see our cutting capacity table for details per power level. Fiber lasers are not designed to cut non-metallic materials such as wood, plastic or cloth.
Can this machine cut both sheet metal and tubes?
Yes- that is the defining characteristic of the EETO FLXP-GII and FLSP series. Both models are designed with a flatbed cutting area for sheet metal and a pneumatic rotary chuck system for tube and pipe processing. Both functions are controlled by the same laser source, CNC controller, and cutting head, which can be switched back and forth in less than 5 minutes with no recalibration needed.
What tube and pipe profiles are supported?
EETO combined laser cutters process eight profile types: round pipe, square tube, rectangular tube, oval tube, triangular tube, angle bar (L-shaped), U-bar (channel), and H-beam. Fscut 3000S CNC auto-calculates tool paths for each geometry, including saddle cuts and miter joints.
What is the maximum tube length?
Standard max tube feed length is 6 meters (6,000mm). Chuck handles tubes up to 180kg. Custom longer lengths may be available--contact EETO engineering.
How accurate is the cutting?
EETO machines can achieve 0.03mm accuracy and 0.05mm repeatability (ISO 230-2 compliant). The Boci Pro-cutter BLT421 cutting head has a closed loop capacitive height sensor for real-time focal position monitoring, and the Fscut 3000S CNC system computes deviation compensation into its cut path. Kerf width varies by material and power level but generally falls between 0.1mm and 0.3mm.
What maintenance does a fiber laser need?
Routine maintenance includes daily lens and nozzle inspection and cleaning, regular cooling system checks (water level, filter condition, temperature settings), periodic lubrication of linear guides and rack-and-pinion drive components, and cleaning of the machine bed slats to remove cutting debris. Fiber lasers require far less maintenance than CO2 systems -- there are no mirrors to align, no laser gas to replenish, and the fiber source itself is virtually maintenance-free for its rated operating lifetime (100,000+ hours). Most shops report that a quick 15-minute daily check plus a monthly deep clean keeps the machine running at full capacity with no unplanned downtime. One operator we spoke with ran his 6kW unit for 14 months straight without a single unscheduled service call — he credited the daily lens wipe as the single most important habit.
Do you provide installation and training?
Yes. EETO offers turn-key installation -- factory trained engineers are sent to your site, the machine is properly located, aligned, and calibrated, and your operators are trained on such topics as machine operation, basic maintenance, CNC software operation, and optimizing cutting parameters. EETO also provides intelligent remote diagnosis by video call, software updates, and site visits with a program to respond to any issue within 24 hours.
