Processing tubes and profiles can be used in many different ways. You can use them in many industries, including the automotive industry, furniture design and architecture, as well as commercial vehicle construction. Laser-assisted processing of profiles and tubes offers many options for unique design and a manufacturing range that is almost limitless.
A laser tube cutter machine does not come with standard material towers. Bundle loaders are the most efficient option for tube material handling. They feed one tube from each bundle to the tube laser through a singularizing device. This type of feeding mechanism is not suitable for open profiles such as channels or angles, since they are interlocked while inside a bundle and can't be released easily. Step loaders are used for open profiles. They sequence each section into the machine one at a while maintaining the correct orientation.
The applications of tubes and profiles are numerous. The use of processed tubes and profiles is endless, in every industry. The laser-assisted production of tubes and profile offers many possibilities for design and manufacturing.
You can eliminate secondary operations. A tube laser is able to cut a piece and add holes, or any other cutout design in one step. The ability to control tolerances on more complicated fabrications is gained. To ensure parts fit together in a single way, you can use one continuous piece. We can tube laser-cut aluminum, stainless and carbon.
We offer the best solutions to laser tube-cutting. Lasers can be used to eliminate whole processes while also increasing the variety of parts you are able produce.
You have the option of choosing between 2D and 3-D laser cutting technology. This allows you to make precise and customized cuts in a variety of parts, including tubes with rectangular, square, or rectangular shapes. There is also the possibility to cut profiles with diverse cross-sections (for instance, H, U, T, or Ucross sections). 3D technology not only allows straight cutting edges but also permits bevel cuts up to 45 degrees. This versatility means that you don't need to spend a lot of money on milling. Drilling. Punching. Sawing.
StarCut Tube SL - A complete turnkey machine with an fs–laser, the StarCut Tube SL laser cutter is ideal for complex metal shapes like thrombectomy stent retrievers.
Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s tube laser-cutting systems integrate intelligent machine functions which include intelligent monitoring, setup and cutting functions. These automated functions improve ease of operation and machine efficiency. The extensive range of capabilities of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s tube and pipe lasers makes these machines ideal for many industries and a variety of applications.
Tubes are very simple and do not require a powerful laser. Tube laser cutting machines require only 5 kW power, whereas flat sheet laser cutters can be powered by laser generators up to 12 kW. When cutting a tube, it is important to always think about the other side. A stronger laser would simply blow through the tube on the opposite side during cutting. You don't need to worry about the other side if you're processing a beam of a channel or a channel using the tube laser.
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube laser-powered cutting machines and StarFiber laser cutters helped NPX Medical to gain a competitive advantage in stent manufacturing.
Fiber lasers are virtually maintenance-free, demonstrate superior wall plug efficiency when compared to traditional CO2 laser cutting machines, can cut reflective materials, and offer precise cutting. They also are faster than CO2 machines when cutting certain metal thicknesses. However, speed is relative when it comes to cutting tube. The real time savings comes from speeding up the processing time of the tube and producing finished parts.
This is the most effective solution to any tube section. Tubes upto O6" (152.4 mm).2D cutterCO2 or fibre laser
Pipe and tubing Cutting Procedures:
Rotate the pipe cutter around. Tighten the cutter slightly and rotate it around the pipe several times. Repeat until the pipe is severed by the blade. Steel pipe can be cut with a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or steel-pipe tubing cutter.
What is the operation of a CO2 Laser? 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.
from 3 months to 3 years
Glass CO2 laser tubes all degrade over time, with lifespans ranging from 3 months to 3 years. With use, the CO2 inside the tube degrades into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Overdriving the tube only accelerates this process and shortens its working life.
