Some things aren’t quite as evident until you take a closer look at a fiber laser in operation. Because its beam diameter is often one-third the size of a CO2 beam, a fiber laser has a greater power density than a CO2 laser beam. Not only does this allow the fiber to cut faster, but it also allows it to pierce faster. This smaller beam size also gives the fiber the ability to cut intricate shapes and leave sharp edges. Imagine cutting a company logo out of a tube when the spacing between the logo’s letters is 0.035 inch; a fiber can make that cut, while a CO2 laser can’t.

The most productive solution to tubes of any section. Tubes upto O 6" (152.4mm).2D cutCO2 (or fiber laser).

Imagine that you need to put a through-hole at the center of a tube. It must be centered to the actual dimensions, not just one. This will make things more complicated. This is how tube manufacturing works.

We offer a tube extension for loading tube stock up to 80", or 6'8". Note that the maximum part size remains 52"

The subject of material loading and unloading automation is well established in sheet laser cutting with a multitude of solutions and complexity. In contrast, tube laser cutting systems equipped with vertical storage systems, for tubes and section bars, capable of handling bars automatically and allowing for unmanned production changes have only been available for a few years.

PowerLine C are CO2 laser-based systems for precision drilling, cutting, scribing, marking, and engraving of many non-metals, including glass, organic materials.

A CO2 laser is more efficient than a fiber one because it requires less power to create. This means that large chillers for CO2 lasers will require more overall power. With a wall plug efficiency greater than 40%, the fiber laser resonance uses less power and takes up less space.

Some things are difficult to see until you have a closer look at the fiber laser operating. Fiber lasers have a larger power density than CO2 laser beams because their beam diameter is typically one-third that of CO2 beams. This allows fiber to cut more quickly and also allows it pierce better. This allows the fiber to cut intricate shapes with sharp edges and leaves a smaller beam size. Imagine that a fiber can cut the company logo from a tube with spacing of 0.035 in between its letters; a CO2 laser is incapable of doing this.

Due to the high power needed to create a CO2 Laser, it is less efficient than a fiber-laser. Also, the large chillers that are required to make CO2 lasers work require more power. You are using less power due to the fiber laser's wall plug efficiency exceeding 40 percent. This means that you also use less of your floor space in high-demand areas.

Remember that there is no perfect tube. They can have bows. They can have weld seams that protrude on both the interior and exterior of the tube. This material can be difficult to process consistently and quickly when there are inconsistencies from one product to the next.

These laser-generating machines can produce up to 12 kW of power. The power of a laser tube cutter machine is typically 5 kW. This is because it cuts through the tube on the opposite side simultaneously.

Imagine putting a through hole centered on a tube. It should be centered according to the actual dimension and not just one side of the tube. Bowed tubes will make it more difficult. Tube fabricating is hard work.

The maintenance of a fiber laser is not as important. It doesn't need mirror cleaning or bellows checks like a CO2 Laser Cutting Machine. It does not need to be cooled with cold water, and air filters can be replaced regularly.
