Traditional tube features can be time-consuming. FabLight makes it easy for you to get exactly you want and how you designed it - in minutes
Monaco high-power, femtosecond-lasers offer superior edge quality for micromachining and improved scientific applications such as three-photon microscopy.
Imagine that you have to position a through-hole on top of a tube. It must be centered on the tube's actual dimension. It will be more difficult to center the tube if it is bent. This is the reality of tube fabrication.
StarCut Tube® SL laser cutting system provides the highest precision, reliability and performance for complex medical devices like stents, aortic valves replacements or hypotubes.
Many applications are possible for processed tubes or profiles. There are many applications for processed tubes and profiles, whether in the automotive, furniture, architecture, petrochemical, or commercial vehicle building. Many industries have embraced laser-assisted manufacturing of tubes and profiles. This allows for a virtually unlimited range of components and unmatched design possibilities.

A laser tube cutting machine doesn't come with any standard material towers. Bundle loading is the best option for handling tube material. It feeds one tube at a given time from the bundle into a tube laser using a singularizing process. This type cannot be used with open profiles (e.g. channels and angles), because they interlock inside the bundles and don’t move freely. Step loaders, which are used for open profile profiles, sequence one section at time into the machine while maintaining the correct orientation.
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.
You should also consider the shortcase-sized modules of the fiber laser. They provide redundancy. The resonator will not shut down completely if one of the modules has a problem. The fiber laser works in redundant mode so that the other modules can provide more power temporarily to sustain the down module's needs until they can be repaired. Field repairs are possible, however. Sometimes the fiber laser can produce less power while repairs are being made. An issue with a CO2 Resonator will cause the entire system to fail.
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.
