SENFENG has successfully completed the installation and commissioning of an SF6024GNT 6kW fiber laser tube cutting machine in the United States. Led by SENFENG after-sales engineer Mr. Liu, the project covered the complete installation process, from machine assembly and electrical integration to precision adjustments, cutting trials, and practical operator training.

Designed for efficient and accurate tube processing, the SF6024GNT combines advanced laser cutting technology with automated loading and unloading functions. Through systematic commissioning and hands-on testing, the machine was successfully prepared for production.

From Machine Assembly to System Integration

October 12–16, 2026

The project started with a detailed inspection of all machine components and accessories. The engineer then assembled the main machine bed, followed by the auxiliary loading and unloading beds.

Once the main mechanical structure was in place, attention shifted to the core machine components. The cutting head and fiber cable were installed, followed by the chiller, laser source, display, electrical wiring, and external sheet-metal panels.

The next step involved completing the rack installation, connecting the electrical circuits, filling the cooling system, and preparing the machine for its first power-on.

During initial startup checks, the engineer performed a series of electrical inspections and troubleshooting procedures. A loose connection inside the electrical cabinet was identified and secured, restoring stable power delivery and normal servo drive operation.

Fine-Tuning Machine Performance and Cutting Quality

October 19–23, 2026

After completing the electrical checks, the engineer moved on to machine commissioning. On October 21, the machine’s primary functions were tested, and the overall operating condition was confirmed to be normal.

Cutting parameter optimization followed. Rather than relying solely on standard test patterns, the engineer also imported actual part drawings for cutting trials. The results demonstrated good cutting quality, with clean cut sections and satisfactory processing performance.

Additional adjustments focused on hole positioning when processing rectangular tubes. Through further parameter checks and cutting tests, the engineer worked to improve positioning consistency across different tube profiles.

The machine’s large sheet-metal enclosure was also installed as commissioning progressed, bringing the equipment closer to its final production configuration.

Precision Chuck Adjustment and Automated Function Optimization

October 26–30, 2026

Accurate chuck positioning is essential for achieving consistent results in tube laser cutting. During this stage, the engineer inspected and adjusted the chuck precision to ensure reliable positioning during machining.

Subsequent tests showed that hole positioning on standard tubes was within the expected range. Further verification was carried out using different tube materials and profiles to assess cutting consistency.

The machine’s collision avoidance function was also tested during a full operational demonstration. After reviewing the position settings, the relevant parameters were optimized, ensuring proper coordination between the middle and rear chucks.

Another important task involved optimizing the automatic unloading program. The existing configuration was updated from a 3-meter unloading setup to the appropriate 6-meter PLC program. The engineer completed the programming adjustments and functional tests on October 30, ensuring that the unloading process matched the machine configuration.

Hands-On Training and Routine Maintenance

October 23 – November 3, 2026

Operator training was integrated into the commissioning process, allowing operators to become familiar with the equipment while the machine’s functions were being verified.

The training covered machine startup and operation, cutting process setup, parameter adjustments, loading and unloading procedures, and the use of different machine functions.

To support long-term equipment performance, the engineer also provided practical maintenance guidance, including:

• Protective lens inspection and replacement
• Ceramic ring and cutting nozzle replacement
• Optical path alignment and adjustment
• Basic machine inspection and routine maintenance
• Operating procedures and functional troubleshooting

The training combined explanations with practical demonstrations, helping operators develop the skills needed for daily production.

Meanwhile, the installation of protective fencing and sheet-metal enclosures continued. On November 3, the engineer completed the organization of the light curtain wiring and conducted further operator training.

Successful Production Trials and Final Acceptance

November 4, 2026

The final stage brought together machine verification and practical production training.

During the production trials, actual workpieces were processed to evaluate cutting quality and machine stability under operating conditions. The results were excellent, and the SF6024GNT demonstrated stable performance throughout the tests.

With mechanical installation, electrical integration, precision calibration, program optimization, and operator training all completed, the machine successfully passed its final checks. The project concluded with formal acceptance.

SENFENG: Reliable Support Beyond Machine Delivery

Successful equipment installation involves more than assembling machine components. Accurate calibration, optimized cutting processes, reliable automation, and proper operator training all contribute to long-term production efficiency.

Through professional installation and comprehensive after-sales support, SENFENG helps manufacturers put advanced laser tube cutting equipment into operation with confidence. The successful commissioning of the SF6024GNT 6kW machine in the United States is another example of SENFENG’s commitment to supporting customers throughout the entire equipment lifecycle.
