G-A Series FAQ's

A:  The G-A Series is designed to process a variety of tube sizes and materials commonly used in manufacturing and fabrication applications.

Supported materials include:

  • Carbon steel 
  • Stainless steel 
  • Aluminum 
  • Galvanized materials 

Available models support round and square tube sizes up to 120 mm (G12A) and 160 mm (G16A), making the G-A Series well suited for small-diameter tube processing applications. Material capacities vary based on material type, wall thickness, and laser power selection.

A:  The G-A Series utilizes a movable front chuck design that allows the cutting head to process material between the two chucks. This short-tail cutting capability helps reduce remnant material left at the end of the tube after processing.

Benefits may include:

  • Improved material utilization
  • Reduced scrap and waste
  • Lower raw material costs
  • Improved return on material investment

For manufacturers processing large volumes of tube, even small reductions in remnant material can create significant long-term savings.

A:  The G-A Series is ideal for manufacturers processing high volumes of small-diameter tube and pipe, including:

  • Furniture and display fixture manufacturing 
  • Fitness equipment production 
  • HVAC component manufacturing 
  • Automotive component production 
  • Agricultural equipment manufacturing 
  • Mechanical contractors 
  • Process piping fabrication 
  • General tube fabrication 

Its combination of speed, material efficiency, and automation readiness makes it particularly well suited for production-oriented manufacturing environments.

A:  Yes. The G-A Series can be equipped with optional conveyor loading and bundle loading systems to reduce manual material handling and improve production efficiency. Depending on the application, automation can help:

  • Increase machine utilization 
  • Reduce labor requirements 
  • Improve production consistency 
  • Support higher production volumes 
  • Enable more efficient multi-shift operation 

Automation requirements vary based on tube size, material type, and production volume.

A:  Both the G-A Series and G-PRO Series are designed for small tube and pipe processing, but they are best suited for different production needs.

G-A Series

  • Best for small tube cutting application
  • Available up to 3kW
  • Strong choice for general tube fabrication and production work
  • Focused on speed, efficiency, and material utilization

G-PRO Series

  • Best for small tube cutting with bevel capability
  • Available up to 6kW
  • Strong choice when higher power or bevel cutting is required
  • Focused on speed, bevel cutting, and expanded processing capability

The G-A Series is a strong fit for manufacturers that need efficient small tube processing without bevel cutting. For applications requiring bevel cutting or power levels above 3kW, the G-PRO Series is typically the better fit.
