How much does the Baykal BLT 8220 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Baykal BLT 8220 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
Mill-length tube is the reason to choose the Baykal BLT 8220. It is the long version of Baykal's tube laser, with a maximum tube length of 8,100 mm (318.9 in); the BLT 6220 stops at 6,100 mm (240.2 in). Nothing else in the table changes between the two.
That has a consequence worth understanding before ordering. Maximum part length is still 4,000 mm (157.5 in), so the extra bed length does not let you make longer parts. It lets you feed longer bars, which means fewer bar changes per shift and fewer remnants, since the last part of every bar can be cut down to 60 mm (2.4 in).
Capacity is Ø16 mm (0.6 in) to Ø220 mm (8.7 in) in round tube and 16x16 mm to 220x220 mm in square, in wall thicknesses from 0.8 mm (0.03 in). A bar may weigh up to 240 kg (529 lb), and on an 8,100 mm bar that weight limit is reached sooner than on a short one, so heavy-wall sections should be checked against it. The source is 1 kW to 4 kW from IPG, nLIGHT or Max Photonics, with a Precitec LightCutter 3D head.
Motion figures are 90 m/min rapid and 130 m/min vector speed for the linear axes, and 560°/s for the driver chuck. Accuracy is ± 0.01 mm positioning and ± 0.02 mm repeatability on X and Y. Automatic loading, automatic unloading, bevel cutting and fume extraction are all extras. The control is a Beckhoff CNC with an 18.5" display.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Takes tube up to 8,100 mm (318.9 in), against 6,100 mm (240.2 in) on the BLT 6220
- Remnant as short as 60 mm (2.4 in) on each bar
- ± 0.01 mm absolute positioning accuracy
- Precitec LightCutter 3D head with optional bevel cutting
- 1 kW to 4 kW sources from IPG, nLIGHT or Max Photonics
Limitations
- Maximum part length stays at 4,000 mm (157.5 in) despite the longer bed

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Up to 8,100 mm (318.9 in). That is the only row of Baykal's BLT table in which it differs from the BLT 6220, whose limit is 6,100 mm (240.2 in). Baykal's product page describes the series as handling profiles of up to 8 meters.
02
No. The maximum part length in the table is 4,000 mm (157.5 in) for both bed lengths. The longer bed is for longer raw bars, not longer finished parts, so check the unloading side if your parts approach that limit.
03
Absolute positioning accuracy is ± 0.01 mm and repeatability on X and Y is ± 0.02 mm. Rapid speed is 90 m/min, vector speed 130 m/min, and the programmable feed rate is up to 50 m/min, with the actual rate depending on material and thickness.
04
The minimum material thickness is 0.8 mm (0.03 in). The capacity table gives mild steel at 12 mm (0.47 in) with 1 kW, 16 mm (0.63 in) with 2 kW and 22 mm (0.87 in) with 4 kW, and stainless at 12 mm (0.47 in) with 4 kW.
