Zero Tailing Technology

Type: Technical Concept | Source: QG Laser Technical Proposals

Abstract

Zero Tailing means the laser cuts to the absolute end of the tube. Not close. Not almost. The end.

Standard machines leave 150–300mm of unusable scrap — the "tail" — because the chuck physically cannot reach the final section. QG Laser's Zero Tailing architecture eliminates this. Less than 20mm remnant. 99% material utilization.

Stop throwing away expensive metal.

How It Works

The Problem

[Chuck]====[Tube]=====[Cutting Head]
              ↑
     200mm dead zone — wasted material

The Solution

[Chuck]====[Tube][Cutting Head passes over chuck end]
                    ↑
              <20mm — effectively zero waste

Three mechanisms:

1. Over-chuck cutting — Cutting head traverses past the front chuck
2. Forward chuck displacement — Front chuck moves forward to expose tube end
3. Front-of-chuck cutting — Laser fires directly ahead of the chuck face

Product Line

Sales Positioning

"Zero Tailing delivers less than 20mm remnant. For a factory processing stainless steel at volume, that is 3–5% material savings per production run. Annualized, it pays for the machine."
