Modern metal fabrication shops are transforming their operations with advanced tube cutting technology that eliminates cumbersome manual processes. The ShopSabre TC Series tube cutting systems represent a significant leap forward in manufacturing efficiency, offering intelligent automation for complex cutting tasks across various industries.
American Engineering Excellence
Designed and manufactured in Lakeville, Minnesota, the TC Series embodies American precision engineering. Its industrial-grade steel frame ensures stability during continuous operation, while the robust 8-inch tailstock securely supports tubes up to 7 inches in diameter, maintaining cutting accuracy even under heavy workloads.
Versatile Cutting Capabilities
The TC Series stands out for its exceptional adaptability, handling round, square, and rectangular tubing without requiring equipment changes. This multifunctionality reduces production downtime and lowers capital investment needs for manufacturers serving diverse markets.
Available in two models—TC-12 and TC-24—the systems accommodate 12-foot and 24-foot tube lengths respectively. Operators can choose between specialized chucks for round tubing or advanced chucks that process multiple cross-sectional shapes, providing flexibility for various production requirements.
Intelligent Operation System
An integrated onboard computer system with Hypertherm Rotary Tube Pro software powers the TC Series' automation features. The intuitive interface simplifies parameter configuration, design file importation, and process monitoring. The software's advanced algorithms optimize cutting paths to minimize material waste while maximizing throughput.
