Saw Cutting Steel Tubes and Profiles – Contract Manufacturing Germany
Precisely cut tubes, profiles, beams and round bar to length – automatic saw cutting from in-house stock, directly as a pre-fabrication stage for welded assemblies in Lorch.
In-house material stock
Steel, fine-grain structural steel and stainless in standard sizes immediately available.
Bundle and series cutting
Fully automatic saw machine for economical series cut-to-length.
No minimum order
Smallest quantities and individual cuts are manufactured alike.
Profiles & round bar
I-beams (IPE, IPB/HEB, HEA), channels (UPN), angle, rectangular and square sections plus tubes, round bar and flat bar.
Integrated process
Direct handover to welded assemblies, bent parts and CNC machining.
DIN EN ISO 9001:2015
Quality management with documented material traceability.
Saw Cutting – Capacity and Process
Automatic saw cutting at Bock is carried out using fully automated cold-saw machines with bundle cutting capability. Tubes, hollow sections, I-beams (IPE, IPB/HEB, HEA), channels (UPN), angle steel, beams and round bar are cut precisely to length – without secondary manual operations.
The in-house material store holds steel, fine-grain structural steel and stainless steel in various sections and grades. Saw cutting is performed to drawing or cut list. Small quantities and large series are handled equally.
Cut-to-length tubes and profiles are delivered directly as blanks for welded assemblies, frames and structural fabrications.
Saw cutting at Bock is performed under documented quality procedures to DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. Material certificates accompany all material from the stock warehouse through to the finished cut-to-length product. Cut dimensions and squareness are verified with calibrated measuring instruments. For series production, first-article inspection with dimensional records is available. Cut tubes, profiles and sections are transferred internally to the welding and fabrication departments without intermediate storage, ensuring fast turnaround and full material traceability throughout.
Thanks to our own material stock, sawn cuts from tubes, profiles and round steel can be provided at short notice. Customer-supplied material is accepted and processed on request. Smallest quantities and single cuts are handled just as readily – with no minimum quantities or restrictions.
After pre-fabrication, sawn cuts are passed directly to the adjacent production areas in Lorch: welding, bent parts and CNC machining. External logistics between production steps are eliminated, significantly reducing lead times and overall costs.
Contract manufacturing in sawn-cutting is carried out in accordance with DIN EN ISO 9001:2015. Our quality management system and material certificates meet the requirements of demanding customers in vehicle, plant and crane construction.

Materials for Saw Cutting
Saw cutting is available for the following materials:
- Structural steel S235, S355 – round, flat and section steel, tubes
- Fine-grain structural steel S460–S1100 – high-strength profiles and beams
- Stainless steel 1.4301, 1.4571 – tubes and round bar
- I-beams: IPE, IPN, IPB/HEB, IPBl/HEA, IPBv/HEM
- Channels: UPN, UNP, UPE – and angle steel (L profile)
- Round tube, square tube (SHS), rectangular tube (RHS) and hollow sections
- Flat bar, round bar and square bar from stock
Customer-supplied material is accepted on request.
Typical Applications
Saw-cut tubes and profiles are used for:
- Tube and profile frames for vehicle and plant engineering
- Beams and columns for steel structures and heavy fabrications
- Collars, sockets and bushings for welded assemblies
- Series cut-to-length for recurring components
- Pre-fabrication stage for bending and press-brake components
Saw-cut components can proceed directly to welding, CNC machining and surface treatment in the same facility. This integrated workflow eliminates external logistics between steps and reduces lead times for individual parts and small-batch orders. Tubes, profiles and sections are transferred internally to welding and fabrication without intermediate storage, ensuring fast turnaround and full material traceability throughout the entire production chain. In-house stock of standard steel sections is available for short-notice procurement.
