You should remember that there are no perfect tubes. They have bows. They may protrude from the interior as well as the exterior of the tube. It is difficult to process this material in a consistent and rapid manner when there are such inconsistencies among products.
Keep in mind that the traditional method for checking for twists or bows within the tube can take between five and seven seconds before cutting begins. Traditional touch sensing methods can be slow and inaccurate. While this may seem like a long time in the ageof fiber laser cutter, it is actually not that simple when working with tubes.
Metal fabricators know a lot about what flat sheet processing has involved with fiber laser cutting technology. But, what does the fiber laser do for tube cutting? A lot actually.
You will find the perfect solution for your laser fabrication needs, while still ensuring process quality and efficiency in both metal and nonmetal fabricating.
StarCut Tubes SL is a laser cutting system that provides high accuracy, superior reliability, as well as high performance for cutting complicated medical devices such stents.

PowerLine C CO2 laser-based systems are used for precision drilling and cutting, scribing marking, engraving, and scribing on many non-metals such as glass, organic materials, and other non-metals.
Our system solutions allow for flexible production of small or large series with diameters from 10 to 324 millimeters, and pipe and profile lengths as high as 12.5 meters.
Tube cutting also requires a weld seam. This material is rolled-formed and then welded together. These two points should be considered:
CO2 lasers are characterized by their high cutting quality.Their primary area of application lies in the medium to high range of materialthicknesses. The cutting edges achieved with the laser beam excel throughburr-free cutting and low scoring. This means that the cut parts can beprocessed further without reworking.
Get exactly the right solution to your specific laser fabrication needs while delivering process quality and efficiency to metal and non-metal fabricating.
The laser generating technology that is used to produce sheet laser cutting machines can be upgraded to deliver as much as 12 kW. A laser tube cutter typically produces 5 kW of power, because more power would simultaneously cut through both ends of the tube.
Material loading and unloading automation is an important topic in sheet laser cutting. It offers many options and complexity. Tube laser cutting systems fitted with vertical storage systems (for tubes and section bar) that can handle bars automatically and allow for unmanned production adjustments have only been available for a short time.
A tube extension is available to load tube stock upto 80", or 6’8". It is important to note that the maximum part sizes remain at 52".
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method.
Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
CO2 laser cutters are the most commonly used types of laser cutters because they are low power, relatively inexpensive, efficient, and can cut through and raster a wide range of materials.
