Abstract
A machine (M) for laser processing, in particular for laser cutting, of tubes and profiles is described, which comprises at least one support element (10) for supporting the tube or profile being processed. The support element (10) comprises: a main body (14) having an outer portion (16) in the shape of a channel defining a receiving cavity (12) for the tube or profile, and an outer layer (18) which covers the receiving cavity (12) and is intended to come into contact with the tube or profile when the latter is resting on the support element (10). The outer layer (18) is made as a separate piece with respect to the outer portion (16) of the main body (14) and is connected to the latter in a removable manner.
