How much does the Machitech Fiber Tube XL 60' L - 26" Ø cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Machitech Fiber Tube XL 60' L - 26" Ø 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 largest Fiber Tube XL has a fourth chuck. The Machitech Fiber Tube XL 60' L - 26" Ø is listed with 4 chucks where the other two models have 3, a processing range of 3 - 24.8 in (80 - 630 mm) and a workpiece weight of 6,600 lbs (3,000 kg).
An extra chuck is a support question. A long, heavy section sags and twists between holding points as material is cut away, and one more chuck shortens the unsupported span. Linear load capacity is 170 lb/ft (250 kg/m), the highest of the line. Machitech also describes servo-driven supports that follow the profile.
In practice this model overlaps with robotic plasma beam lines for part of its range. The laser gives a narrower kerf and cleaner small features, and the choice between them turns on section size and wall thickness. Here the upper limit is 24.8 in (630 mm), with sources of 6 kW, 12 kW or 20 kW.
Rotation is 45 rpm and positioning 148 ft/min (45 m/min). Maximum profile length in the table is 40 ft (12 m). A 3D bevel head is optional, and nesting across profile types is done in Lantek Flex3D.
The installation is the widest of the three at 32 ft (10 m), on the same 105 ft (32 m) length, based on 40 ft unloading length, and the same 12.5 ft (3.8 m) height. At 85,000 lbs (38,500 kg) without laser source, chiller and dust collector, it is also the heaviest. The enclosure is laser Class 1 over the full length of the cell and conveyors.

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The processing range is 3 - 24.8 in (80 - 630 mm). Workpiece weight is 6,600 lbs (3,000 kg), linear load capacity 170 lb/ft (250 kg/m), and maximum profile length 40 ft (12 m).
02
The spec table lists 4 chucks for this model and 3 for the two smaller ones. Machitech does not explain the difference in the table; the model also has the highest load capacity of the three.
03
Sources of 6 kW, 12 kW or 20 kW. Machitech states that wall thickness capacity depends on laser power and material grade.
04
Total length 105 ft (32 m), based on 40 ft unloading length, total width 32 ft (10 m) and total height 12.5 ft (3.8 m). Machine weight is 85,000 lbs (38,500 kg), without laser source, chiller and dust collector.
