Introducing SmoothTUBE, the new CNC system for Mazak 3D laser machines

SmoothTUBE is Mazak’s new generation CNC system specially designed for tube and pipe laser processing.

The new SmoothTUBE CNC is a step-change for tube and pipe laser processing with an outstanding operator interface, it is easy-to-program and all the relevant machine information is quickly available.

Mazak's SmoothTUBE CNC system features a new Graphical User Interface that makes the utilisation of the control simple and intuitive and also a new Human Machine Interface that has a number of benefits for the operator, including easy production scheduling and programming.

With the dual monitor it is also possible to run multiple applications simultaneously, such as production status and cutting conditions. The large 21.5-inch screen on both monitors enables checking of the machine status with the touch of a finger.

3D laser processing of pipes and structural materials can be easily achieved with high-accuracy. Through years of development, the new SmoothTUBE CNC system has incorporated accumulated expertise to greatly enhance operability and productivity.

  • New graphical user interface specialised for tube and pipe processing ensures easier operation
  • The CNC system is operated by just following the flow, with the flow from preparation to processing displayed on one screen
  • Condition setting of scheduled operation can be changed and reprocessing can be done on the CNC system easily
