Overview

The Penta Laser WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036 is a three-chuck laser tube cutting machine offered in three bed lengths, with maximum loading lengths of 12.5 / 9.5 / 6.5 m and matching unloading lengths. Laser power is 6 - 12 kW. The profile range is Ф30 - 350 mm for round tube and 30 × 30 to 350 × 350 mm for square.

The third chuck is what separates the WPC from Penta Laser's dual-chuck machines. The maker lists zero-point cutting and zoned unloading as the result, meaning long and short parts leave by different routes, and the series description adds shorter remnant cutting. Because unloading length equals loading length, a full 12.5 m tube can be processed and removed as one part.

This column is the faster and lighter of the two WPC variants. Its linear axis reaches 72 m/min and its rotational axis 75 rpm, and it uses a pneumatic square chuck. Tube may weigh up to 100 kg/m. The WPC 12050 / 9050 carries 200 kg/m with 12 - 20 kW but slows to 45 m/min and 45 rpm.

A semi-automatic loading system and a conveyor chain are listed among the characteristics of the series, and the short-material conveyor uses a multi-row chain tandem design. Gapless loading, no-stop loading and unloading, welding line detection and the bevel module are optional. The machine complies with Directive 2006/42/EC; UL compliance is optional.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • Three bed lengths with loading and unloading of 12.5 / 9.5 / 6.5 m
  • Three-chuck design enables zero-point cutting and zoned unloading
  • Laser power of 6 - 12 kW with a 100 kg/m bearing capacity
  • 72 m/min linear and 75 rpm rotational speed, quicker than the 45 m/min and 45 rpm of the WPC 12050 / 9050
  • Semi-automatic loading system and conveyor chain for continuous operation

Limitations

  • Bearing capacity of 100 kg/m is half the 200 kg/m of the WPC 12050 / 9050
  • Round tube above Ф350 mm does not fit
  • The bevel module, gapless loading and welding line detection are optional configurations
  • A 12.5 m machine with equal unloading length takes a long bay
06

Best For

Tube and profiles up to Ф350 mm in lengths to 12.5 m Full-length parts that must be unloaded uncut Thicker-wall tube that needs 6 - 12 kW Lines that sort long and short parts through zoned unloading

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What lengths does the WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036 come in?

Three. The maximum loading length is 12.5 / 9.5 / 6.5 m and the unloading length is the same 12.5 / 9.5 / 6.5 m. The three numbers in the model name follow those bed lengths.

02 What tube can the WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036 cut?

Round tube of Ф30 - 350 mm and square tube of 30 × 30 - 350 × 350 mm, at up to 100 kg/m. The series is described for round, rectangular, square, oval and certain special-shaped tubes.

03 Why choose three chucks over two?

Penta Laser lists zero-point cutting and zoned unloading as what the three-chuck design enables, and says the structure supports high-precision machining of long work pieces and shorter remnant cutting. On this model the unloading length matches the loading length.

04 How does it compare with the WPC 12050 / 9050?

The WPC 12050 / 9050 is the heavier variant: 12 - 20 kW, 200 kg/m and round tube of Ф60 - 500 mm with a precision round chuck, at 45 m/min and 45 rpm. This model runs 6 - 12 kW and 100 kg/m at 72 m/min and 75 rpm with a pneumatic square chuck.
