The Challenges
Need:
Traditional plate lasers are inefficient for tube processing, leading to higher labor costs and longer production cycles.
Conventional methods struggle with bevel cutting, requiring additional post-processing before welding.
Many vehicle manufacturers face limitations in cutting long tubes accurately, which affects structural integrity.
Issue:
High time consumption due to inefficient tube cutting.
Construction limitations – previous methods restricted the length and complexity of tube structures.
Low efficiency – frequent setup changes increased production downtime.

Why Swedish i Metsjö AB Chose Bodor:
The Only Large-Scale Tube Cutting Machine Matching Their Needs
At the time of purchase, other brands did not offer a tube-cutting machine of this size that met Swedish i Metsjö AB’s requirements. After conducting market research, they found that only Bodor had a machine that fully matched their needs, leading them to choose Bodor.
Bevel Cutting Capability for Production Needs
Bodor’s M-series machines offer optional bevel cutting, which was a critical requirement for Swedish i Metsjö AB’s production process. This feature improved weld preparation and enhanced component quality, making it an ideal fit for their workflow.
Automation Options for 15m Tube Processing
The M-series can be equipped with an automated loading and unloading system, which was essential for Swedish i Metsjö AB’s requirement to process 15m tubes. Bodor provided:
M-Loader (Semi-Automatic Loading System) for efficient material handling.
Standard Unloading System to streamline production.
This significantly improved workflow efficiency and reduced manual labor costs.
Proven Cutting Performance at Bodor Factory
Before purchasing, Ivarssons i Metsjö AB tested sample cutting tests through videos. After seeing the impressive cutting quality, they decided to move forward with Bodor’s M350-15-15.
Results
After installing the Bodor M350-15-15, Ivarssons i Metsjö AB significantly improved its manufacturing process:
Processing time reduced by 50%, allowing the company to complete more projects with the same resources.
Better construction solutions – more flexible and precise tube cutting enables longer, stronger, and more complex structures.
Reduced waste and lower costs – automated features optimized material usage, saving both time and resources.
