How much does the Penta Laser WPC 12050 / 9050 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Penta Laser WPC 12050 / 9050 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
At 12 - 20 kW and 200 kg/m, the Penta Laser WPC 12050 / 9050 is the heavy variant of Penta Laser's three-chuck laser tube cutting machine. It takes round tube of Ф60 - 500 mm and comes in two lengths, with loading and unloading of 12.5 / 9.5 m.
Several things change from the WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036 besides size. The chuck is a precision round chuck where the smaller variant has a pneumatic square chuck. Speeds drop to 45 m/min on the linear axis and 45 rpm on the rotational axis. And the square range reads 60 × 60 to 350 × 350 mm, so the gain in capacity is on round tube; square profiles top out at the same 350 mm as on the lighter machine.
Penta Laser's second page for the WPC series calls it heavy-duty and describes heavy-walled tubes and structural profiles as the intended stock. The figures here fit that description. A bearing capacity of 200 kg/m covers thick-wall pipe at large diameters, and 12 - 20 kW is the power class for cutting it.
The handling is the same as on the lighter variant: side-mounted bed, servo supports at loading, servo tilt at unloading, a semi-automatic loading system and a conveyor chain. Scrap is conveyed out automatically. There is no version shorter than 9.5 m, and the smallest round tube is Ф60 mm, so this is not a general-purpose tube laser.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Laser power of 12 - 20 kW for heavy-walled tube
- Bearing capacity of 200 kg/m, twice the 100 kg/m of the WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036
- Round tube up to Ф500 mm held in a precision round chuck
- Unloading length equals loading length at 12.5 / 9.5 m
- Three-chuck design with zero-point cutting and zoned unloading
Limitations
- Linear speed of 45 m/min and rotational speed of 45 rpm are well below the 72 m/min and 75 rpm of the WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036
- Square profiles are still limited to 350 × 350 mm
- Minimum round tube is Ф60 mm and minimum square is 60 × 60 mm
- Offered in 12.5 m and 9.5 m lengths only

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Round tube of Ф60 - 500 mm and square tube of 60 × 60 - 350 × 350 mm, with a maximum bearing capacity of 200 kg/m. Maximum loading length and unloading length are both 12.5 / 9.5 m.
02
The table lists 12 - 20 kW. The lighter WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036 is listed at 6 - 12 kW. Penta Laser describes the heavy-duty WPC as designed for heavy-walled tubes and structural profiles.
03
A precision round chuck. That is a difference from the WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036, which is listed with a pneumatic square chuck. The series description credits the chucks with high sealing and strong clamping force.
04
Yes, on paper. Its linear axis maximum speed is 45 m/min and its rotational axis maximum speed is 45 rpm. The WPC 12036 / 9036 / 6036 lists 72 m/min and 75 rpm. The lower speeds go with tube of up to 200 kg/m.
