The fiber laser's small modules, which are compact and easily transportable, allow for redundancy. The resonator won't completely shut down if one module experiences a problem. In order to provide power for the down module, the fiber laser can temporarily produce more power until it is repaired. This can, of course, be done in the field. Sometimes, the fiber resonator will continue to produce reduced power until repairs are made. If a CO2 reactor has an issue, it can cause the whole resonator to go down.

StarCut Tube Laser SL is the best laser cutting system for complex medical devices, such as stents and aortic valve replacements.
Tubes are and will continue to be used throughout the entire industry, including in system and mechanical engineering as well as furniture construction. New design possibilities have been opened by lasers. This means that more and more designers are utilizing the benefits of laser-cut tube and profile cutting, which is driving up demand. TruLaser Tube machines offer all-round solutions in the field of laser tube cutters.
Cambus Medical uses Coherent StarCut Tube and Select Laser Welders laser-powered tubes cutting machines to create business success.
Fiber lasers have a wavelength of 1.06 microns, which is 10 percent smaller than that of a CO2 laser beam. With its much smaller wavelength, the fiber laser produces a beam that is much more easily absorbed by the reflective material; a CO2 laser is much more likely to reflect off the surface of these materials. Because of this, fiber laser cutting machines can cut brass, copper, and other reflective materials. It should be noted that a CO2 laser beam that reflects off the material can not only damage the machine’s cutting lens, but also the entire beam path. Using a fiber-optic cable for the beam path removes this risk.
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.

NIT's Coherent laser cutting machine is used to vertically produce nitinol, and other metal components. It has exceptional precision and edge quality.
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.
You don't need to coordinate multiple orders with different vendors. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is able to handle all aspects of material procurement and delivery.
North America's foremost magazine for the metal fabricating and metal forming industry, FABRICATOR. The magazine features news, technical articles, as well as case histories, that help fabricators do their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970, FABRICATOR is serving the industry.
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.
