Morgan Rushworth XTC Compact Tube Fibre Laser
The Morgan Rushworth XTC Compact Tube Fibre Laser Cutting Machine combines intelligent automation, modular design, and high-speed tube processing. With ultra-fast automatic loading and the flexibility to switch between fully automatic and semi-automatic operation, the XTC range is available in three capacities to process round tubes from 8-120mm, 10-160mm, or 12-250mm diameter. The machine achieves three major breakthroughs: “zero scrap waste, multi-scenario compatibility, and high-precision ultra-fast production,” redefining the standards for ultra-mini-tube cutting.
It adopts a side-mounted machine bed structure, with the front chuck featuring a retractable function. When combined with a composite dual-function chuck, it enables zero scrap cutting, thereby minimising material waste. Additionally, it is equipped with a high-speed pneumatic chuck specially customised for small tubes. A full-servo floating support system is utilised at both the loading and unloading ends, working in tandem to enhance cutting accuracy and processing efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the XTC a compact tube-laser option?
The XTC uses a two-chuck arrangement aimed at smaller tube-processing applications. It combines cutting with controlled stock support and a choice of loading arrangements. Check the complete infeed and outfeed layout: compact describes the design, not a guarantee that long-stock handling will fit every workshop.
What tube diameters can the XTC handle?
The automatic-loading specifications list ranges of 8-120 mm, 10-160 mm and 12-250 mm across the relevant variants. Limits differ with the loading arrangement and profile shape. Provide the smallest as well as the largest sections you use so the exact machine and loader can be matched.
Does the XTC zero-tail design mean there is no material waste?
No. The clamping arrangement is designed to reduce the unusable tail at the end of a stock length. Cutting kerf, spacing between parts, end preparation and the nest still affect material yield. Ask for a representative nesting assessment rather than assuming every tube will be fully converted into saleable parts.
How do XTC stock length and finished-part length differ?
The range includes 6-metre and 7.5-metre raw-stock configurations. The page lists a 2-metre standard outfeed, with 4-metre and 6-metre options. Choose infeed around purchased stock and outfeed around the longest finished components, including how those components will be supported and collected.
Can every XTC be specified with a 12 kW source?
No. The published table lists 12 kW for the larger XTC 7523.12000 configuration, while other listed variants use 3 kW or 6 kW. Source availability, tube size and loading requirements should be checked together rather than assuming every power is available on every machine size.
Is the XTC supplied with fully automatic bundle loading?
Loading arrangements vary, and the page describes both semi-automatic and automatic configurations. State the required stock presentation and desired operator involvement in the quotation. A demonstration with your normal tube mix is the best way to assess changeovers and loading reliability.
Can the XTC be equipped for bevels or weld-seam recognition?
Bevel equipment and weld-seam detection are listed options. They solve different requirements: an angled cut may prepare a joint, while seam recognition helps orient welded stock. Confirm the exact head, software and material suitability for your drawings rather than assuming either function is included.
Can I arrange servicing and a Service Plan for the XTC?
Yes. Selmach provides servicing and offers optional Service Plans for the XTC. Ask us to quote a plan around your machine and production hours. Servicing frequency, support and call-out provision depend on the selected cover and agreed terms; a Service Plan is separate from the machine purchase unless expressly included.
