GWEIKE adds compact TG-E tube lasers for smaller fabricators

GWEIKE launched its TG-E Economical Series for small and mid-sized tube fabricators that need shorter remnants, a smaller footprint and simpler operation. The 6012 TG-E and 6016 TG-E offer 1.5 kW or 3 kW power options and are aimed at common round, square and rectangular tube jobs.

Why it matters: - Smaller tube fabricators often have to choose between production capability and factory space. - GWEIKE’s TG-E Series targets that gap with a compact tube-laser platform built for routine fabrication work. - The series is designed to reduce material waste, especially on repeat jobs where leftover tube remnants can cut into margins.

What happened: - GWEIKE expanded its industrial tube-processing lineup with the TG-E Economical Series. - The launch includes two models: 6012 TG-E and 6016 TG-E. - The company positioned the series for small and mid-sized manufacturers that need tube cutting without the space and operating demands of a heavy-duty production system. - The announcement was made Aug. 25, 2026, in Jinan, China.

The details: - The TG-E uses a front-chuck overstroke structure that extends cutting reach near the end of the tube. - Depending on material, tube dimensions and process configuration, the system can reduce the minimum remnant to as little as 30 mm. - Two chucks support the final section during cutting to help keep the tube stable near the end of the process. - The machine integrates the electrical cabinet, laser source and pneumatic system into the structure instead of using separate external units. - GWEIKE says the integrated layout reduces machine footprint by about 30% compared with its conventional layout reference. - The smaller footprint is intended to simplify production planning and equipment transport for workshops adding capacity. - An intelligent bus control system supports flying cutting and drawing-free operation. - The 6012 TG-E is configured for round tubes from 10 to 120 mm in diameter and square tubes from 10 × 10 to 120 × 120 mm. - The 6016 TG-E extends the clamping range to round tubes from 10 to 160 mm and square tubes from 10 × 10 to 160 × 160 mm. - Both models offer 1,500W or 3,000W laser power options. - Both configurations have an effective tube cutting length of 6,500 mm and a maximum load capacity of 80 kg per tube. - The TG-E Series is aimed at recurring production involving round, square and rectangular tube profiles. - Target applications include office furniture, fitness equipment, medical device frames, guardrails, fencing, hardware products, sanitary ware and industrial piping. - The TG-E product page provides model specifications, clamping ranges and additional machine-structure information. - The series joins GWEIKE’s broader range of tube laser cutting machines for light, general and heavy-duty metal fabrication.

Between the lines: - The product strategy favors practical operating limits over maximum output. - That matters for buyers whose decisions are driven by floor space, tube range, waste reduction and batch workflow. - The dual-model lineup lets manufacturers match chuck range to regular tube sizes instead of paying for capacity used only on occasional oversized jobs. - Sample cutting with the buyer’s actual tube material remains important for validating power, chuck range, cutting quality and cycle time.

What's next: - Buyers can review the TG-E Series product page for specifications and machine-structure details. - GWEIKE is expected to market the series alongside its existing tube laser portfolio for light, general and heavy-duty fabrication. - Manufacturers evaluating the system will likely test it against their own tube material before choosing a power and chuck configuration.

The bottom line: - GWEIKE is pitching the TG-E as a compact, lower-waste tube laser option for fabricators that need everyday production capability without a large-floorprint machine.
