We offer you the ideal solutions for the world of laser tube cutting. Find out here how lasers can eliminate entire process steps while also increasing the range of parts you can produce.
NIT's Coherent laser cutting machine is used to vertically produce nitinol, and other metal components. It has exceptional precision and edge quality.
Metal fabricators are well-versed in the basics of fiber laser cutting technology for flat sheet processing. But what about tube cutting? It's quite a lot.
The TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber is capable of reaching record speeds. It makes full use of solid-state Lasers' strengths. This results in shorter processing times for the user and a wider range of parts.
The fiber laser's small modules, which are compact and easily transportable, allow for redundancy. The resonator won't completely shut down if one module experiences a problem. In order to provide power for the down module, the fiber laser can temporarily produce more power until it is repaired. This can, of course, be done in the field. Sometimes, the fiber resonator will continue to produce reduced power until repairs are made. If a CO2 reactor has an issue, it can cause the whole resonator to go down.

StarCut Tube Laser SL is the best laser cutting system for complex medical devices, such as stents and aortic valve replacements.
Tubes are and will continue to be used throughout the entire industry, including in system and mechanical engineering as well as furniture construction. New design possibilities have been opened by lasers. This means that more and more designers are utilizing the benefits of laser-cut tube and profile cutting, which is driving up demand. TruLaser Tube machines offer all-round solutions in the field of laser tube cutters.
Fiber lasers are nearly maintenance-free and demonstrate superior wall plug efficiency compared to traditional CO2 Laser cutting machines. They can also be used for precise cutting of reflective materials. They are faster than CO2 when cutting certain thicknesses of steel. The speed of cutting tube is relative. Real time savings can be achieved by speeding up processing times for the tube and creating finished parts.
Secondary operations can be eliminated: A tube laser can easily cut a piece of material to the desired length, add holes or other cutout designs in one step. This eliminates the need for manual material removal. This allows you to maintain tight tolerances for more complicated fabrications. You can make parts from one continuous piece. This allows you to ensure they fit in one direction and is easy to assemble. Tube laser aluminum, carbon and stainless steel can all be tubed.
Cambus Medical uses Coherent StarCut Tube and Select Laser Welders laser-powered tubes cutting machines to create business success.
Fiber lasers have a wavelength of 1.06 microns, which is 10 percent smaller than that of a CO2 laser beam. With its much smaller wavelength, the fiber laser produces a beam that is much more easily absorbed by the reflective material; a CO2 laser is much more likely to reflect off the surface of these materials. Because of this, fiber laser cutting machines can cut brass, copper, and other reflective materials. It should be noted that a CO2 laser beam that reflects off the material can not only damage the machine’s cutting lens, but also the entire beam path. Using a fiber-optic cable for the beam path removes this risk.
You don't need to coordinate multiple orders with different vendors. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is able to handle all aspects of material procurement and delivery.
North America's foremost magazine for the metal fabricating and metal forming industry, FABRICATOR. The magazine features news, technical articles, as well as case histories, that help fabricators do their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970, FABRICATOR is serving the industry.
Modern CO2 machines typically generate the laser beam in a sealed glass tube filled with gas, typically carbon dioxide. A high voltage flows through the tube, interacting with the gas particles and increasing their energy, resulting in the production of light.
The laser beam is the most important component of the laser cutter; it determines wavelength and power, and thus the material that it can cut or engrave. Solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and CO2 lasers are the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting.
