How much does the HSG TL660 cost?

Price estimate

Uncertain

We do not have a price for the HSG TL660 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.

HSG TL660 — price

Price estimate: uncertain

We have no price for the HSG TL660 that we can cite and no estimate we can stand behind, so this page shows no number rather than a guess. A quote from HSG Laser or an authorised dealer is the reliable figure.

What moves the final price

  • Spindle, control and probing options
  • Tool changer capacity and tooling package
  • Automation — pallet changers, bar feeders, robot cells
  • Freight, rigging, installation and training
  • Region, dealer and time of year

Overview

The HSG TL660 is a four-chuck tube laser for pipe and hollow section of structural size. Round tube runs from Φ80 to Φ660 mm (3.1-26.0 in), square tube from 80 × 80 to 450 × 450 mm (17.7 × 17.7 in), and one tube may weigh 3,000 kg (6,614 lb). Lengths from 3,000 to 12,000 mm (118.1-472.4 in) are accepted, with 6,000-20,000 W of laser power.

Everything about the motion reflects that mass. The brochure lists 50 m/min maximum linkage speed and 0.2 G linkage acceleration, a small fraction of what HSG quotes for its light tube machines, and X/Y positioning accuracy is ±0.1 mm/m. Nobody buys this machine for cycle time on small holes. It is bought because it can hold and rotate a three-tonne tube at all.

Four heavy-duty pneumatic chucks share that job. Besides spreading the load along the tube, they allow what HSG calls reverse cutting mode, which cuts with short tailings; on sections this size the remnant is expensive. The servo motors carry absolute encoders, so a cut interrupted by a power failure can be restarted.

Control is HSG's own bus-based HSG-X system on a 21.5-inch touch screen, and it monitors core components in real time to give early alarms. A 3D cutting head for bevel cuts up to 45° is optional. Note the minimum sizes: nothing under Φ80 mm round or shorter than 3,000 mm goes on this machine.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Round tube up to Φ660 mm (26.0 in) and square tube up to 450 × 450 mm (17.7 × 17.7 in)
  • Single tube weight of 3,000 kg (6,614 lb) carried on four heavy-duty pneumatic chucks
  • Tube lengths from 3,000 to 12,000 mm (118.1-472.4 in)
  • Laser power from 6,000 to 20,000 W for heavy wall
  • Reverse cutting mode with four chucks for short tailings
  • Power-off cutting restart through absolute encoders on the servo motors

Limitations

  • Maximum linkage speed is 50 m/min and linkage acceleration 0.2 G, so small features take time
  • Minimum round tube is Φ80 mm (3.1 in) and minimum length 3,000 mm (118.1 in)
  • Positioning accuracy of ±0.1 mm/m is coarser than on HSG's lighter tube machines
  • The 3D cutting head needed for bevels is an option

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How big a tube can the HSG TL660 cut?

Round tube from Φ80 to Φ660 mm (3.1-26.0 in) and square tube from 80 × 80 to 450 × 450 mm (17.7 × 17.7 in). The tube can be 3,000-12,000 mm (118.1-472.4 in) long and weigh up to 3,000 kg (6,614 lb).

02 Why does the TL660 use four chucks?

HSG describes the four-chuck structure as the basis for cutting heavy, large and long tube stably. The chucks are heavy-duty pneumatic units. With four of them the machine can also cut in reverse cutting mode, which leaves short tailings and improves material use.

03 How fast is the TL660?

The brochure gives a maximum linkage speed of 50 m/min and a maximum linkage acceleration of 0.2 G. Those are low figures for a tube laser, which is expected on a machine that rotates tube weighing up to 3,000 kg (6,614 lb).

04 Can the TL660 cut bevels?

With the optional 3D cutting head. HSG lists 0-45° bevel cutting as an option and describes bevel cuts up to 45° for tube splicing. The table lists the cutting head as 3D (optional), so a machine ordered without it cuts square to the tube only.
