With a rock-solid cutting platform (the SL uses a mineral cast base) these machines offer the ultimate in precision, with contour cutting accuracies better than +/- 5 µm. A choice of fiber laser or the latest Monaco USP laser enables fine cutting of any polymer or metal.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s team of experts can work with you to develop innovative designs that can improve aesthetics, increase functionality and deliver new products to market faster.
The TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber attains record speeds. It maximizes the potential of solid-state lasers. This allows users to have fast processing times and access to many possible parts.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is able to manufacture tube lasers for customers, allowing them to eliminate manual processes and maximize the cutting process.
Parts are held with automatic tabbing (done in FabCreator), and a set of jaws on the drive chuck and the idler chuck
StarCut Tube L 600 can be ordered with either a fiber laser, USP laser, or both. StarCut Tube SL compact model has the smallest footprint on the market.
The most productive solution to tubes of any section. Tubes upto O 6" (152.4mm).2D cutCO2 (or fiber laser).
The maintenance of a fiber laser is not as important. It doesn't need mirror cleaning or bellows checks like a CO2 Laser Cutting Machine. It does not need to be cooled with cold water, and air filters can be replaced regularly.
A laser cutting machine that cuts sheet metal can change out a sheet in seconds. The same can be done on a laser tube cutting machine, but it’s a whole different story as to how it’s done.
StarFeed can be used as an automated loader/unloader to the StarCut Tube laser cutting machine. It comes in two sizes, S and L. The StarFeed allows you to fully automate dry and wet cutting for tubes of any diameter from 1-20mm. StarFeed L can store 48 tubes and allows processing of oval tubing. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. The result is a substantial increase in productivity.
You should remember that there are no perfect tubes. They have bows. They may protrude from the interior as well as the exterior of the tube. It is difficult to process this material in a consistent and rapid manner when there are such inconsistencies among products.
Micrometric Ltd uses the Coherent StarCut Tub laser cutting machine to provide speed and precision in medical and aerospace production.
Our system solutions provide the best selection of options for flexible production of small and large quantities.
Fiber lasers don't require as much maintenance. It does not require the same attention as a CO2 laser-cutting machine in terms of mirror cleaning and bellows inspections. It doesn't require any maintenance, as long it has clean chiller water to cool off and its air filters are regularly changed.
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.
