Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Penta Laser NLF 12036V 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 Penta Laser NLF 12036V is a four-chuck laser tube cutting machine for long structural stock. It clamps diameters from 20 - 360 mm (0.8 - 14.2 in), takes a single piece of up to 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), and both loads and unloads lengths of 12 m.
Four chucks are the point of the NLF series. With that many gripping positions along a 12 m member, the tube stays supported close to the cut wherever the head is working, and a heavy section is not left hanging between two distant chucks. The chuck control type is listed as full travel, with a square hole.
The material list is wider than tube. Penta Laser names round, rectangular and square tubes, H-beams, I-beams, channel steel and angle steel. For joints, the machine supports intersecting holes of varied orientation and diameter, intersecting ends for branch pipes meeting a circular main pipe, oblique end faces on round tube, and 360° flip cutting of square tube.
Linear axes position at 65 m/min on X, Y and Z, and the main chuck turns at 70 r/min with continuous rotation. The NLF 12050V takes larger and heavier stock, 30 - 508 mm (1.2 - 20.0 in) and 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), but its main chuck is slower at 40 r/min. For work that stays under 360 mm, this is the quicker of the two. The published table gives no laser power and no accuracy figure.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Four chucks support a 12 m member close to the cut along its whole length
- Clamping diameter range of 20 - 360 mm (0.8 - 14.2 in), starting smaller than the 30 mm lower limit of the NLF 12050V
- Main chuck speed of 70 r/min, against 40 r/min on the NLF 12050V
- Handles H-beams, I-beams, channel steel and angle steel as well as round, square and rectangular tube
- Maximum loading and unloading length are both 12 m, so full-length parts can leave the machine uncut
Limitations
- Single pieces are limited to 1,200 kg (2,646 lb); heavier members need the NLF 12050V at 2,000 kg (4,409 lb)
- Clamping stops at 360 mm, well short of the 508 mm of the NLF 12050V
- The published table has no laser power, accuracy or machine size rows
- A 12 m loading and unloading length calls for a long, clear bay on both sides of the machine

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The clamping diameter range is 20 - 360 mm (0.8 - 14.2 in). The maximum tube weight per piece is 1,200 kg (2,646 lb), and the maximum loading and unloading lengths are both 12 m.
02
Penta Laser lists round tubes, rectangular tubes, square tubes, H-beams, I-beams, channel steel, angle steel and other structural steel sections. The machine supports intersecting holes and ends, oblique end faces on round tube and 360° flip cutting of square tube.
03
Capacity and chuck speed. The NLF 12036V clamps 20 - 360 mm and carries 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) per piece at 70 r/min. The NLF 12050V clamps 30 - 508 mm (1.2 - 20.0 in) and carries 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) at 40 r/min. Linear speed, chuck count and the 12 m lengths are the same.
04
The linear axes have a maximum positioning speed of 65 m/min on X, Y and Z. The main chuck rotates at 70 r/min, and the rotary axis travel is listed as continuous rotation, so there is no angular limit to plan around.
