Fabricators might first think of high-speed laser cutting when they think about fiber laser cutting technology. While this might be true in some cases, it is not the case when it comes tube cutting. It is more about the time required to process a tube so it meets specifications than the actual cutting speed.
The weld seam is another consideration when tube cutting. This material is roll-formed, then welded together. Two points are usually required to be addressed.

Fiber lasers achieve high cutting speeds in thin material thicknesses. Additionally they boast low power consumption while requiring little maintenance.The special properties of this laser cutting technology enable applications insteel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, such as copper andbrass.

Some things are obvious. A fiber laser has a smaller laser "generator" than a CO2-resonator. Actually, the fiber laser is made by banks of diodes which are combined in a small module. These modules can have a power range from 600 to 1,500 W. To create the final powered resonance, multiple modules are spliced together. This is usually the same size as a small filing cupboard. The fiber-optic cables channel the light and amplify it. Fiber-optic cables transmit the same light as when they were generated, with no loss of power and quality. The fiber-optic cable is then adjusted and focused to cut the appropriate material.
The CO2 solution is for large diameter tubes, and profiles. Tubes with a diameter of O 14/24" (355mm /610mm).3D laser cutting
Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s tube-laser-cutting systems incorporate intelligent machine functions, such as intelligent monitoring, setup, cutting, and other functions. These automated functions make it easier to operate and increase machine efficiency. These lasers are versatile and can be used in many industries.
The shape laser technology allows you to customize and cut-to length in one step. From raw material, finished or semi-finished parts can be produced.
Some things are extremely obvious. The size of the laser "generator," on a fiber laser, is much smaller than that of a traditional CO2 resonanceator. The fiber laser is made up of banks of diodes. Each module can hold 600 to 1,500W. Multiple modules can be spliced together in order to create the final powered-resonator. This module is typically about the same size and shape as a small filing box. Fiber-optic cable channels the light generated and amplifies it. The light is still the same quality and power when it exits the fibre-optic conduit. It is then adjusted for the type and focus of the material to be cut.
You can choose between 2D or 3D laser cutting technology, which allows you to create parts with a very specific shape. This includes tubes of various shapes, such as squares, rectangles, and profiles with different open cross-sections (e.g H, L and Tcross-sections). The 3D technology allows for bevel cuts of up to 45 degrees. This flexibility eliminates the need to do costly milling, drilling, punching or sawing.
You might have noticed that cutting speed has not been discussed yet. While it is possible for a tube to be cut at up to 500 inches per min, that is not always possible. Laser tube cutting requires that you focus on the time it takes to load a tube and index it in order to cut. Laser tube cutters are slow and take a lot of time to process parts.
Motion Dynamics is a top manufacturer of neurological subassemblies. These include steerable catheters and "pullwire" assemblies. Motion Dynamics makes use of StarCut Tube machines for precise cutting of key components.
