Morgan Rushworth XTS (2 Chuck) Compact Tube Fibre Laser
The Morgan Rushworth XTS Compact (2 Chuck) Tube Laser features a semi-automatic loading mode, efficiently handling Automatic loading and cutting tasks. For tubes with diameters ranging from 20 to 360mm. It adopts a side-mounted machine tool structure, with a front chuck equipped with a clearance function, and is fitted with a fully Servo-controlled floating support.
Supporting automatic loading of various tube profiles including; round tubes, rectangular tubes, square tubes, channel steel, i-beams, and custom shaped tubes – reducing labour requirements.
The XTS features chuck-clearance cutting capability, allowing the cutting head to automatically move between the front and rear chucks for cutting, achieving the shortest possible tail-off and maximising material utilisation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the XTS two-chuck machine designed to offer?
The XTS combines a compact two-chuck layout with semi-automatic chain loading and controlled material support. It is an option for fabricators moving between tube and section jobs without specifying a full bundle-loading production system. Compare the loading sequence against your real batch sizes.
Which tube sizes are covered by the XTS range?
The listed round-tube ranges are 20-230 mm, 20-280 mm and 20-360 mm, depending on the variant. Profile shape and weight must also be checked. A nominal round-tube capacity should not be applied automatically to every square, rectangular or open section.
Can the XTS process channels, angles and other open profiles?
Open and structural profiles are included in the published application list. Each section still needs checking for clamping, support, rotation and cutting-head access. Send the actual profile drawing, wall thickness and intended features rather than relying on its overall width alone.
Does the XTS eliminate all remnant and nesting waste?
The clamping design is intended to improve use of the end of the stock. It does not remove kerf, part spacing or every nesting constraint. Evaluate material yield on your own part mix and stock lengths, especially where short parts and long components share the same nest.
How do I choose the XTS infeed and outfeed?
The range includes 6-metre and 7.5-metre raw-stock arrangements. A 3-metre outfeed is listed, with 4-metre and 6-metre options. Match the outfeed to the longest finished part and its weight, and allow space for safely collecting it after cutting.
What power and software specification should I request for the XTS?
Specify your normal materials, wall thicknesses and required finish, then confirm the source available for the selected size. The specification lists PA control with Lantek or SigmaNEST software arrangements. The quotation should identify the actual package and any functions needed for your CAD workflow.
When should I compare an XTS with an XTM?
Compare them when loading time, batch size and repeat production are central to the decision. The XTS lists semi-automatic chain loading, while the XTM lists a bundle loader. Ask for a workflow comparison using your stock mix, including changeovers, cut-part removal and operator involvement.
Can I arrange servicing and a Service Plan for the XTS?
Yes. Selmach provides servicing and offers optional Service Plans for the XTS. 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.
