RVD Smart Fibre TFL Tube & Section Laser Cutting Machine
Precision, Flexibility and Productivity for Modern Fabrication
The RVD Smart Fibre TFL is a next-generation CNC laser cutting system designed for high-performance tube, section and profile processing. Created for workshops that need speed, accuracy and versatility, the TFL series handles round tube, box section, angle, channel, beams and custom profiles with ease. Whether cutting mild steel, stainless, aluminium or non-ferrous materials, it delivers clean, consistent results with exceptional efficiency.
Key Features & Capabilities
Universal Profile Compatibility
The TFL is engineered for true multi-profile cutting. It processes round, square, rectangular, oval and flat-sided tubes as standard, with optional capability for open profiles including angle, channel, H-section, I-beam and custom extrusions. This makes it ideal for fabricators who handle a broad mix of structural components and need a single system to manage them all.
High-Performance Fibre Laser Technology
Available with fibre laser sources from 1.5 kW up to 6 kW, the machine delivers fast cutting speeds, smooth edges and tight tolerances across a broad range of materials. Higher-power configurations support thicker wall sections and increase productivity for demanding fabrication environments. The enclosed cutting area ensures a clean, safe and controlled process.
Robust Mechanical Design & Precision Motion
A rigid chassis, advanced motion control and precision rack-and-pinion or linear-guide systems ensure smooth, accurate positioning throughout the cut. Self-centring pneumatic chucks keep the workpiece stable, maintaining perfect alignment even on long profiles or heavy structural material. The result is reliable, repeatable accuracy for every part.
Automation & Smart Handling Options
Automation options such as bundle loading, magazine feeding, extended support rails and automatic unloading systems help maximise throughput while reducing manual handling. For advanced applications, optional 3D bevel-cutting allows chamfers, weld-prep edges and angled features to be cut in one process, reducing downstream finishing time.
Advanced CAD/CAM & Nesting Workflow
Supplied with professional tube-nesting and CAD/CAM software, the TFL system provides intuitive programming, accurate feature placement and efficient material utilisation. Multi-part nesting minimises waste and improves productivity, while seamless integration with the machine controller simplifies setup and accelerates production.
Safety, Compliance & UK-Ready Support
The fully enclosed cutting area, fume-extraction compatibility and CE-compliant safety systems make the TFL suitable for modern UK fabrication environments. Supported by Selmach’s installation, training and aftercare services, the machine is ready for immediate integration into your workflow.
