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.
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.
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.
StarCut Tube SL combines an fs-laser to create complex metal shapes.
Fiber lasers are 10 percent shorter than CO2 laser beams in wavelength. Because of its shorter wavelength, fiber lasers produce a beam that is easier to absorb by reflective materials. A CO2 laser's wavelength is less likely to reflect off these surfaces. This allows fiber laser cutting machines to cut brass, bronze, and other reflective material. A CO2 laser beam that reflects on the material can damage not only its cutting lens, but the entire beam path. This risk can be eliminated by using fiber-optic cables to guide the beam.
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.
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.
Maximum material cutting thicknesses by 1000W fiber laser cutting machine: Carbon steel has a maximum thickness of 10mm; stainless steel has a maximum thickness of 5mm; aluminum plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm; and copper plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm.
A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
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. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.
