TUBE 2026, 13-17 April \u2013 <\/strong>D\u00fcsseldorf (Germany), Mazak stand, hall 5, stand C17<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Yamazaki Mazak is preparing to showcase the latest developments in its tube laser technology solutions at TUBE 2026, as it continues to expand its presence within the European market.<\/p>\n

Making its European trade fair debut is the new FT-250 tube laser cutting machine. The introduction of the FT-250 expands Mazak\u2019s tube laser range, which already includes three other models, and strengthens its ability to support a variety of production requirements.<\/p>\n

Developed to process round pipes up to \u03a6254 mm and 203 mm square pipes, the FT-250 is designed to meet the demands of up to 80% of the market requirements. Compared with previous models, the machine\u2019s increased loading capacity extends the scope of heavier workpieces that can be efficiently cut.<\/p>\n

A key feature of the FT-250 is the dual-function design of the heads, which integrate a dedicated laser cutting torch and a mechanical spindle for tapping, drilling, milling, etc., each mounted on independent saddles. This allows for reduced processing cycle times and contributes to a higher throughput when processing round and square tubes, as well as structural beam sections.<\/p>\n

With the new model\u2019s ability to carry out a variety of advanced machining functions, such as tapping, drilling and countersinking, multiple operations can be combined within a single system. This can minimise handling and transfer times while supporting efficient, high-mix production workflows.<\/p>\n

The FT-250 is controlled by the SmoothTUBE CNC, designed specifically with tube processing applications in mind. Its easy-to-use, dual-touch panel and 21.5\u201d graphical interface offer an intuitive workflow, visual process monitoring and direct job-editing capabilities.<\/p>\n

The machine\u2019s layout is designed for user-friendly operation, allowing simple loading and efficient maintenance for improved serviceability. At the unloading stage, a slide cover on the conveyor aids smooth front-side operation during daily use.<\/p>\n

Gaetano Lo Guzzo, Director Laser Business Europe at Yamazaki Mazak, said: \u201cTUBE D\u00fcsseldorf is widely recognised as the world\u2019s leading trade fair for tube and profile processing. Our presence at the event allows us to reinforce our position as a global technology leader while introducing a new solution that extends our tube laser offering.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe FT-250 represents a significant addition to our tube laser portfolio and underlines our commitment to providing world-class laser machines that can help European customers to overcome the challenges they face, while delivering efficiency, precision and profitability.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would encourage laser users attending the event to visit the Mazak stand to learn more about the FT-250 and Mazak\u2019s exceptional service and support capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n
