HSG R1 Pro

The HSG R1 Pro is a tube laser for small sections: round tube from Φ8 to 120 mm (4.7 in), square tube up to 120 × 120 mm, and rectangular tube with 8-120 mm on each side. Laser power is offered from 1,500 to 6,000 W. What sets it apart in the HSG tube range is how fast it moves for its size. The table gives 2.0 G of acceleration, a maximum synchronized speed of 200 m/min and a chuck speed of 240 r/min.

Those three figures matter more on small tube than raw power does. Furniture, fitness and medical parts are mostly short cuts, holes and slots in thin wall, so the cycle is spent accelerating, stopping and rotating the tube. A 240 r/min chuck shortens every rotation between faces. HSG also lists a 9 Hz low-pass filter, the figure it uses to describe how quickly the motion system follows a contour.

Loading is where the options start. The WindTech loading system loads while the machine cuts, and HSG quotes a feeding cycle of as little as 7 seconds from its own laboratory. It has to be ordered together with the zero-waste cutting feature. Line-Scan laser dynamic alignment is a further option that tracks the tube contour and corrects the cutting path, with a stated machining accuracy of up to ±0.2 mm.

The table for this model gives no tube length, tube weight or positioning accuracy, so those need to be confirmed before an order. HSG does state that two units, each with a semi-automatic loading rack, fit in one standard 40HQ container.
