INCT GmbH
In the field of metal tube and profile processing, traditional 2D or 3-axis flat laser cutting machines have become highly popularized. As the technical threshold continues to decrease, market competition has intensified significantly.
Many machine manufacturers and processing companies are facing similar challenges: product homogenization, declining equipment prices, and limited profit margins. At the same time, downstream customers are increasingly demanding bevel cutting capabilities for welding preparation and complex spatial processing, which conventional flat cutting technology cannot achieve.
Under these conditions, the customer decided to develop a laser bevel five-axis cutting machine system to enter a higher value-added market segment and improve overall competitiveness.
🎯 Low technical barrier for conventional flat tube cutting
The technology is mature and widely available, resulting in intense competition and a lack of differentiation.
🎯 Low pricing and limited profitability of flat cutting machines
Continuous price competition compresses margins, and in some cases, profitability is minimal or nonexistent.
🎯 Flat cutting machines cannot perform bevel cutting
Slanted or angled cuts cannot be achieved, requiring secondary processing before welding, which reduces efficiency and consistency.
To meet the requirements of high-speed motion, high precision, and multi-axis interpolation for bevel cutting applications, the system adopts an INCT five-axis motion control solution, consisting of:
🚀 INCT servo system
🚀 Ball screw and linear guide system
🚀 Precision gearbox
🚀 Rack and pinion transmission system
This solution is configured and optimized specifically for five-axis laser cutting applications, balancing dynamic performance, positioning accuracy, and operational stability.
👉 X / Y / Z linear axes: responsible for three-dimensional positioning and high-speed cutting motion
👉 A / C rotary axes: enable angular movement of the laser head to realize bevel cutting paths
👉 Five-axis coordinated motion allows the laser cutting head to maintain stable cutting angles in complex spatial trajectories.
✅ Enables true five-axis laser bevel cutting capability
✅ Reduces secondary processing before welding
✅ Helps differentiate equipment from standard flat cutting machines
✅ Improves overall equipment value and market positioning
✅ Provides stable performance for continuous industrial operation
1️⃣ Laser tube bevel cutting
2️⃣ Welding bevel preparation
3️⃣ Structural steel processing
4️⃣ Machinery and industrial equipment manufacturing
By adopting the INCT servo, ball screw and linear guide, gearbox, and rack system, the customer successfully upgraded from conventional flat cutting solutions to a laser bevel five-axis cutting system.
This solution addresses the limitations of flat cutting technology and provides a practical path toward higher-value applications in laser processing equipment.
