Another thing to remember is that traditional methods of checking for twists and bows in the tube may take as long as five to seven seconds before cutting begins. You have to compromise accuracy for productivity with traditional touch sensing. This can be frustrating, especially in this age of fiber laser cutting. However, working with tube is much more difficult than working with sheet metal.
Fiber lasers cut in thin material with fast speeds. They also require little maintenance and are low in power consumption. This laser cutting technology's special properties allow applications in steel and stainless steel as well aluminum and non-ferrous metallics like copper or brass.
