Most metal fabricators are familiar with the capabilities of fiber laser technology to cut flat sheets. But what can it do for tube-cutting? A lot, actually.
Lasertubes are our 2D- and 3D laser cutting machines for tubes and bars. Available in sizes from 12 mm - 610 mm (.5" - 24") and lengths up to 18m (60")
StarFiber Series includes compact fiber lasers and optional focusing heads to allow for cutting or laser welding. SmartWeld(tm), a technology that allows for fine and large welds, can also be used.
Parts are held by automatic tabbing (do in FabCreator) and a set jaws on both the idler and drive chuck.
Leaders in advanced laser-cutting solutions and CNC controls.
A second consideration is the fiber laser’s compact modules. They allow for redundancy. The resonator can still shut down when one module is having a problem. The fiber laser is redundant so that other modules can temporarily produce more power to support the down module while repairs are made. These can also be done in field. The fiber resonator may also continue to produce lower power until it can be repaired. The entire CO2 resonator can go down if it has an issue.

Imagine that you need to put a through-hole at the center of a tube. It must be centered to the actual dimensions, not just one. This will make things more complicated. This is how tube manufacturing works.
StarCut Tube L 600 has a choice of three laser options: a fiber laser or a USP. StarCut Tube SL has the smallest footprint of any model on the market.
Save time and reduce the number of components.Make tubular frames and metal structures that are more precise and faster to assemble.Complete your part in one programming step, in one machining step, and on one system.

A job shop is only as diverse as the parts it produces. The same applies to those who operate a tube laser. Parts of different sizes can be found in one tube. Laser-cut parts as small as 2 inches must be unloaded by the machine. Each one can be as long as 15 feet. You must also be able unload the parts without damaging them. This can be difficult with soft metals like aluminum.
Fiber lasers achieve high cutting speeds in thin material thicknesses. Additionally they boast low power consumption while requiring little maintenance.The special properties of this laser cutting technology enable applications insteel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, such as copper andbrass.
You will find the perfect solution for your laser fabrication needs, while still ensuring process quality and efficiency in both metal and nonmetal fabricating.
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.
Pipe and tubing Cutting Procedures:
Rotate the pipe cutter around. Tighten the cutter slightly and rotate it around the pipe several times. Repeat until the pipe is severed by the blade. Steel pipe can be cut with a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or steel-pipe tubing cutter.
CO2 laser cutters are the most commonly used types of laser cutters because they are low power, relatively inexpensive, efficient, and can cut through and raster a wide range of materials.
