How much does the Baykal BLT 6220 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Baykal BLT 6220 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Baykal BLT 6220 is a tube and profile laser that takes stock up to 6,100 mm (240.2 in) long, the shorter of the two bed lengths in Baykal's BLT table. It cuts round tube from Ø16 mm (0.6 in) to Ø220 mm (8.7 in) and square section from 16x16 mm to 220x220 mm, with a tube weight limit of 240 kg (529 lb).
Laser power is 1 kW to 4 kW through a Precitec LightCutter 3D head, and bevel cutting is an option. The driver chuck turns at 560°/s with 7000 Deg/s² of acceleration, which is what sets the pace on parts with many features around the circumference. Linear rapid speed is 90 m/min and vector speed 130 m/min. Positioning accuracy is ± 0.01 mm and repeatability ± 0.02 mm on X and Y.
Three length figures matter when planning parts. Finished parts can be up to 4,000 mm (157.5 in) long. The last part of each bar can be as short as 60 mm (2.4 in), so little is thrown away. And automatic loading, which is optional, needs stock at least 2,000 mm (78.7 in) long. Wall thickness starts at 0.8 mm (0.03 in).
Baykal lists round, rectangular and triangular tube, H, C, U and L sections, ellipse, obround and custom shapes. In mild steel the capacity table gives 12 mm (0.47 in) at 1 kW and 22 mm (0.87 in) at 4 kW. Shops that buy tube in longer mill lengths should look at the BLT 8220, which is the same machine with 8,100 mm (318.9 in) of tube length.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Round tube from Ø16 mm (0.6 in) to Ø220 mm (8.7 in) and square tube from 16x16 mm to 220x220 mm, up to 6,100 mm (240.2 in) long and 240 kg (529 lb) in weight. The minimum material thickness is 0.8 mm (0.03 in).
02
Maximum tube length. The BLT 6220 takes 6,100 mm (240.2 in) and the BLT 8220 takes 8,100 mm (318.9 in). Every other row of Baykal's table, including the 4,000 mm (157.5 in) maximum part length and the 1 kW - 4 kW power range, is shared.
03
Baykal lists round, rectangular and triangular tube, H, C, U and L sections, ellipse, obround and custom shapes. Bevel cutting with the Precitec LightCutter 3D head is offered as an option, so confirm it is on the quotation if you need weld preparations.
04
Automatic loading and automatic unloading are both listed as optional. With automatic loading the shortest bar that can be loaded is 2,000 mm (78.7 in). Without it, bars are loaded by hand or by crane up to the 240 kg (529 lb) limit.
