We offer the best solutions to laser tube-cutting. Lasers can be used to eliminate whole processes while also increasing the variety of parts you are able produce.
North America's most important magazine for metal forming and fabricating, The FABRICATOR is the FABRICATOR. The magazine provides news, technical articles and case histories to help fabricators do their jobs better. Since 1970, the FABRICATOR has been serving the industry.
Sheet laser cutting is a complex process that requires material loading and unloading automation. There are many solutions available. Tube laser cutting systems with vertical storage systems for tubes and section bars that can automatically handle bars and allow for unmanned production changes, on the other hand, have only been around for a few decades.

CO2 lasers are characterized by their high cutting quality.Their primary area of application lies in the medium to high range of materialthicknesses. The cutting edges achieved with the laser beam excel throughburr-free cutting and low scoring. This means that the cut parts can beprocessed further without reworking.
For XXL tube production, the machine was designed to maximize productivity. The machine's solid-state laser can be used to process tubes and profiles in many ways. It is compatible with many types of material and wall thicknesses.
How do you compensate for that? Traditionally, you are going to come down and touch the face with a sensor that marks the contact point. The tube is then rotated, and the opposite side of the tube is touched. That gives the control an idea of just how bowed the tube is. This method is accurate and can ensure those through-holes work out for the application. But keep in mind that each time a rotation of the tube occurs, the ability to deliver very high tolerances is reduced.
NIT uses a Coherent Laser Cutting Machine to Vertically Produce Nitinol and Other Metal Components with outstanding precision and edge quality.
The subject of material loading and unloading automation is well established in sheet laser cutting with a multitude of solutions and complexity. In contrast, tube laser cutting systems equipped with vertical storage systems, for tubes and section bars, capable of handling bars automatically and allowing for unmanned production changes have only been available for a few years.
We have the best solutions for laser tube cutting. Learn how lasers can reduce entire processes and increase the number of parts that you can make.
Sheet laser cutting offers many possibilities and complexity in material loading and unloading automation. Tube laser cutting systems have only recently been available with tube storage systems that allow for automatic handling of tubes and sectionbars and unmanned production changes.
Your in-house laser tube cutting doesn't need to be expensive or complicated anymore. Anyone from students to engineers can cut like never before
The StarCut Tube SL is a complete turnkey machine that incorporates an fs-laser and is ideal for laser cutting complex metal shapes such as thrombectomy stent retrievers.
Many believed fiber lasers could only work with thin materials. Because CO2 has a longer wavelength, it created enough material kerf to permit material removal. Fiber lasers can't produce the same level of kerf and results with thicker materials. This has been corrected by collimating tech, which can produce a wide fiber laser-generated beam that allows for materials separation. It also makes it possible to allow for material removal in thicker materials. You can also switch the beam width so that the machine can process thin materials with the narrower beam. This allows you to process more materials in a shorter time.
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.
