How much does the Penta Laser NLT 12050V cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Penta Laser NLT 12050V 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
For pipe and sections up to 508 mm across, Penta Laser's three-chuck NLT series offers the NLT 12050V. Its clamping diameter range is 30 - 508 mm (1.2 - 20.0 in) and its maximum tube weight is 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) per piece, on a machine that loads and unloads 12 m.
It is the heavy half of a two-model series. The NLT 12036V stops at 350 mm (13.8 in) and 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) and spins its main chuck at 70 r/min. This model gives up rotation speed for capacity: 40 r/min. On large pipe that matters less than it sounds, since the surface of a wide tube already moves quickly past the head at a modest chuck speed.
Penta Laser lists the same capacity figures for the four-chuck NLF 12050V, so the decision between those two rests on how many chucks the work needs, not on size. Either way the cutting functions are those of a pipe-joint machine. Branch pipes can be profiled to meet a circular main pipe, tube ends can be cut perpendicular or oblique, and square tube can be flip cut through 360°.
Plan the handling before the machine. Stock of 2,000 kg cannot be loaded by hand, and 12 m on each side fixes the length of the bay. The table omits laser power, so cutting thickness is a question for the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Clamps up to 508 mm (20.0 in) in diameter
- Maximum tube weight of 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) per piece, compared with 1,200 kg (2,646 lb) on the NLT 12036V
- 12 m maximum loading length and 12 m maximum unloading length
- Continuous rotary axis travel with full travel chuck control
- Profiles branch pipes to fit circular main pipes and cuts oblique end faces
Limitations
- Main chuck rotary speed of 40 r/min is the lowest in the NLT series
- Will not hold tube below 30 mm (1.2 in)
- Published figures stop at capacity and speed: no laser power, accuracy or weight
- Capacity matches the four-chuck NLF 12050V, so the three-chuck layout is the only distinction a buyer can read from the table

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The clamping diameter range is 30 - 508 mm (1.2 - 20.0 in). A single tube can weigh up to 2,000 kg (4,409 lb), and both the loading and the unloading length are 12 m.
02
By the published figures, yes. The NLF 12050V also lists 30 - 508 mm, 2,000 kg (4,409 lb) per piece, 40 r/min and 12 m. The NLT is described by Penta Laser as a three-chuck machine and the NLF as a four-chuck machine.
03
Round tubes, rectangular tubes, square tubes, H-beams, I-beams, channel steel, angle steel and other structural steel sections, according to Penta Laser's description of the NLT series.
04
Linear axis maximum positioning speed is 65 m/min for X, Y and Z. The main chuck rotary speed is 40 r/min, and the rotary axis is listed with continuous rotation.
