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.

The fiber laser does not require as much maintenance. The fiber laser doesn't need to be cleaned as often as a CO2 laser cutter machine. The fiber laser does not require any preventive maintenance as long as it has access to clean chiller water and that the filters are regularly replaced.
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.
Laser tube cutting is our specialty. We provide the perfect solutions. You can learn more about laser tube cutting and how they can simplify the process while increasing the production of parts.
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.
With laser generating technology, sheet laser cutting machines can now be sold with power outputs up to 12kW. A laser tube-cutting machine usually has a power consumption of 5 kW. Any more power would cause the tube to be cut on both sides simultaneously.

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.
