In sheet laser cutting, the subject of material loading/unloading automation is well-established. This can be achieved with many different solutions. Tube laser cutting systems that are equipped with vertical storage for tubes or section bars can handle bars automatically, allowing for unmanned production changes. They have been around for only a few years.
Monaco high-power Femtosecond Lasers offer exceptional edge quality in micromachining, and improves in scientific applications such three-photon Microscopy.
No need to coordinate multiple orders and vendors. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can handle everything from material procurement to past delivery.
It's 1/3 of a full 20-foot (248") tube making it convenient for you to make 3 pieces of stock. This allows for you to still purchase full tubes lengths without wasting any material.
The best tube laser cutting solution. Tubes upto O9.45" (220 mm)3D-cutting modeCO2 (or fiber laser)
All types, all shapes: This three-dimensional cutting machine will cut carbon, stainless, aluminum and red metals; in round, square, rectangular and irregular shapes.
High-speed cutting is often the first thing fabricators associate with fiber laser cutting technology. Although this may be true for tube cutting, speed is a relative term. It is not about cutting speed, but the time it takes for a tube to be processed to meet its specifications.
StarFiber Series combine compact fiber lasers with optional focusing heads for laser welding or cutting, including SmartWeld™ technology for fine and wide welds.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect tube. They have bows. Weld seams can protrude not only on the exterior but also the interior of the tube. It’s a real challenge to process this material consistently and rapidly when such inconsistencies exist from one product run to another.
A CO2 laser is more efficient than a fiber one because it requires less power to create. This means that large chillers for CO2 lasers will require more overall power. With a wall plug efficiency greater than 40%, the fiber laser resonance uses less power and takes up less space.
Fiber lasers cut in thin material with fast speeds. They also require little maintenance and are low in power consumption. This laser cutting technology's special properties allow applications in steel and stainless steel as well aluminum and non-ferrous metallics like copper or brass.
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube was used to cut stents and how StarFiber, a laser-powered cutting machine, helped NPX Medical.
For loading tube stock up 80" or 6'8", we offer a tube extension. Please note that the maximum part size for this extension is 52".
A fiber laser's operation can reveal some subtleties that are not obvious. The fiber laser beam has a much higher power density than the CO2 laser beam due to its smaller beam diameter. This not only allows the fiber laser to cut faster but also allows it to pierce quicker. The fiber is able to cut complex shapes and leave sharp edges because of the smaller beam size. Imagine cutting out a company logo from a tube, with letters spaced at 0.035 inches. A fiber can do that while a CO2 laser cannot.
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.
Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
