Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has a team of experts that will work with you to develop a program tailored to your requirements. We'll examine how your part is being made, evaluate its use or application, then work with your to determine and fulfill your requirements.
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.
No need for multiple vendors and orders to be coordinated. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the ability to manage everything, including material procurement and past delivery.
StarCut Tube's tube-cutting laser machine StarCut Tube provides the highest precision and contour cutting accuracy, at a range of +/-5um.
Laser tube cutting at home doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Students and engineers alike can cut like never seen before
Be aware that there is no perfect tub. They may have bows. You may find weld seams on both the outside and the inside of the tube. When there are inconsistencies between product runs, it can be a challenge to process the material efficiently and consistently.
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.
Most metal fabricators have a strong understanding of what fiber laser cutting technology has done for flat sheet processing, but just what has the fiber laser done for tube cutting? Quite a bit, actually.
The Coherent StarCut Tube hybrid version offers the best flexibility to cut different medical devices in metals and plastics from flat stock or tubes. This compact, turnkey laser machine combines two lasers into one compact housing.
Motion Dynamics is a leading manufacturer of neurological sub-assemblies, including steerable catheters and “pull-wire” assemblies, making use of our StarCut Tube machines for precision cutting of key components.
Cameras are being used by machinery manufacturers to inspect tubes. The quality check takes only about half an second, and the rotations required are reduced. This allows the machine's productivity to be maintained as well as its accuracy.
Leaders in the manufacture of advanced laser-cutting solutions including CNC controls and automation systems.
You don't need to spend a lot of money or be very technical in order to have your own laser tube cutting. Anybody can cut like no one has ever seen, from students to engineers.
These machines have a rock-solid cutting platform (the SL uses a minerals cast base) and offer unparalleled precision. Contoured cutting accuracy is better than +/-5um. The choice between a fiber laser and the new Monaco USP allows fine cutting of any kind of metal or polymer.
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.
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.
from 3 months to 3 years
Glass CO2 laser tubes all degrade over time, with lifespans ranging from 3 months to 3 years. With use, the CO2 inside the tube degrades into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Overdriving the tube only accelerates this process and shortens its working life.
