Tube Laser Cutting Systems How It Works

The most productive solution for tubes of any section. Tubes up to Ø 6" (152.4 mm)2D cutCO2 or fiber laser

Imagine having to place a through-hole centered on a tube. It has to be centered to the actual dimension, not just one face of the tube. If the tube is bowed, that’s going to make things more difficult. That’s the life of tube fabricating.

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.

There are no standard material towers with a laser tube cutting machine. Bundle loaders, the most efficient of the tube material handling options, feed one tube at a time from the bundle into the tube laser via a singularizing system. This type of feeding mechanism doesn’t work with open profiles, such as angles or channels, because they interlock while in a bundle and don’t come free easily. For open profiles, step loaders are used, which sequence a section one at a time into the machine while keeping the correct orientation of that section.

The CO2 resonator is much larger and requires more energy, as electricity is introduced to a combination of gases to produce the laser beam. Mirrors help the light gain in intensity, preparing it to exit the resonator. After exiting the resonator, the beam must travel through a path comprising several cooled mirrors until it reaches the lens. This travel causes a loss of power and quality in the laser beam.

Reduce secondary operations: A tube-laser can cut a piece to size and add holes and other cutouts in one step. It eliminates the need to perform secondary actions or manually remove material. It is possible to keep tight tolerances even on complex fabrications. Parts can be made from one continuous piece. They are easy to put together and fit perfectly. We can also tube laser carbon, stainless steel, and aluminum.

Lasertube allows you to make suggestions for improvements to your customers' parts design. The extensive library of connections can be used for assembly without the use of screws or welding.

The FABRICATOR is North America's leading magazine for the metal forming and fabricating industry. The magazine delivers the news, technical articles, and case histories that enable fabricators to do their jobs more efficiently. The FABRICATOR has served the industry since 1970.

The CO2 resonance is larger and requires more power as electricity is used to heat a mixture of gases to produce the laser beam. Mirrors increase the intensity of the light and prepare it to leave the resonator. After leaving the resonator the beam must travel through a path made up of several cooled lenses until it reaches its destination. This travel results in a loss in power and quality for the laser beam.

Lasertubes are our 2D- and 3D laser cutting machines for tubes and bars. Available in sizes from 12 mm - 610 mm (.5" - 24") and lengths up to 18m (60")

Another consideration is the fiber laser’s briefcase-sized modules—they allow for redundancy. If one module has a problem, the resonator doesn’t shut down completely. The fiber laser is redundant in a way that the other modules can produce more power temporarily to support the down module until repairs can be completed—which, by the way, can be done in the field. Other times the fiber resonator can continue producing reduced power until repairs can be made. Unfortunately, if a CO2 resonator has an issue, the entire resonator is down, not just in a reduced-power mode.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
