Morgan Rushworth XLT Combination Fibre Laser Cutting Machine

Advanced Sheet and Tube Laser Cutting in a Single High-Performance Platform

The Morgan Rushworth XLT Combination Fibre Laser has been developed to provide manufacturers with a highly versatile laser cutting solution capable of processing both flat sheet material and tubular sections within a single machine. Combining advanced fibre laser technology, intelligent automation and robust construction, the XLT enables fabricators to maximise productivity while reducing floor space requirements and operational costs.

Designed for businesses producing a mix of sheet metal components and tubular fabrications, the XLT seamlessly transitions between flatbed and tube cutting operations, eliminating the need for separate machines and creating a more efficient production workflow.

A True Combination Laser Cutting System

The Morgan Rushworth XLT has been engineered to deliver exceptional flexibility across a wide range of materials and profiles. Whether processing sheet metal, round tube, square tube, rectangular sections, channels, angles or specialist profiles, the machine provides outstanding cutting accuracy and repeatability.

By integrating both cutting processes into a single platform, manufacturers can increase utilisation, reduce handling times and streamline production without compromising performance.

Fully Enclosed Class 4 Laser Safety Design

Operator safety and workplace efficiency are central to the XLT’s design. The machine features a fully enclosed cutting chamber, providing protection in accordance with modern Class 4 laser safety requirements.

The enclosed structure helps contain dust, fumes and reflected laser light whilst creating a controlled cutting environment. This not only enhances operator safety but also improves extraction efficiency and contributes to a cleaner working environment.

Automatic Loading Access and Enhanced Operator Protection

The XLT features automated access doors designed to improve workflow while maintaining a secure cutting environment. The enclosed design helps minimise exposure to laser radiation and is particularly beneficial when processing reflective materials such as aluminium, brass and copper.

The fully enclosed cutting area also supports more effective extraction of smoke and airborne particulates, helping to maintain machine performance and improve workshop conditions.

One Machine, Two Manufacturing Processes

A key advantage of the Morgan Rushworth XLT is its ability to perform both sheet and tube cutting using a single laser source and cutting head. This integrated approach significantly reduces machine footprint compared to purchasing separate sheet and tube laser systems.

By sharing common machine infrastructure, businesses benefit from lower investment costs, simplified maintenance and greater production flexibility while making more efficient use of valuable workshop space.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Long-Term Accuracy

The XLT is built around a robust welded steel machine frame designed to withstand the demands of continuous industrial operation. The rigid structure minimises vibration during high-speed cutting, helping maintain exceptional cutting accuracy and consistent part quality over the machine’s lifespan.

This heavy-duty construction provides the stability required for precision laser cutting while ensuring long-term reliability in demanding manufacturing environments.

Advanced Fibre Laser Technology

At the heart of the Morgan Rushworth XLT is a high-efficiency fibre laser source capable of delivering exceptional cutting performance across a wide range of materials and thicknesses.

Key benefits include:

• Fast cutting speeds
• Excellent edge quality
• Reduced heat affected zones
• Lower operating costs
• High energy efficiency
• Superior performance on reflective materials

The fibre laser system enables manufacturers to achieve outstanding productivity while maintaining the precision required for modern fabrication applications.

Intelligent CNC Control and Motion System

The XLT incorporates an advanced CNC control platform with intuitive software designed to simplify operation and maximise productivity.

Combined with a precision motion system, the machine delivers excellent positioning accuracy, smooth contour cutting and rapid acceleration. Integrated nesting and programming software helps reduce setup times while optimising material utilisation, contributing to lower production costs and increased throughput.

High-Speed Shuttle Table for Increased Productivity

To minimise downtime between jobs, the Morgan Rushworth XLT features an automatic exchange shuttle table system. While one table is being processed, operators can safely load and unload material on the second table.

This significantly reduces idle time and ensures maximum machine utilisation throughout the working day.

Comprehensive Tube Cutting Capability

The integrated tube cutting system allows manufacturers to process a wide range of profiles, including:

• Round Tube
• Square Tube
• Rectangular Tube
• Oval Tube
• Angle Section
• Channel Section
• Box Section
• Custom Structural Profiles

This flexibility makes the XLT ideally suited to industries including general fabrication, structural steelwork, agricultural equipment manufacturing, automotive production and architectural metalwork.

Designed for Modern Manufacturing

The Morgan Rushworth XLT provides manufacturers with the ability to expand production capabilities without increasing floor space requirements. By combining flat sheet and tube processing within a single platform, businesses can simplify workflows, improve efficiency and increase overall manufacturing capacity.

Service, Support and Training

As part of the Morgan Rushworth range, the XLT is supported by a dedicated team of engineers and technical specialists. Comprehensive installation, commissioning, operator training and ongoing after-sales support ensure that customers achieve maximum performance and return on investment from their machine.

Conclusion

The Morgan Rushworth XLT Combination Fibre Laser Cutting Machine offers a powerful, space-efficient and highly versatile solution for manufacturers requiring both sheet and tube cutting capabilities. Combining advanced fibre laser technology, intelligent automation, robust construction and industry-leading support, the XLT delivers the performance, flexibility and reliability demanded by modern fabrication businesses.

For companies looking to increase productivity, reduce handling times and consolidate multiple manufacturing processes into one efficient system, the Morgan Rushworth XLT represents an outstanding investment in future growth.
