Tube Laser Cutting Systems Home

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.

PowerLine C CO2 laser-based systems are used for precision drilling and cutting, scribing marking, engraving, and scribing on many non-metals such as glass, organic materials, and other non-metals.

You may have noticed that we haven’t discussed cutting speed yet. It is possible to cut up to 500 inches per minute on a tube, but that’s not always realistic. In laser tube cutting, the real focus should be on how long it takes to load a tube, index it so it’s in the right position for cutting, pierce and cut it, and unload the part. It’s more about part-processing time with laser tube cutting machines, not cutting speed.

Get a peek into our StarCut Tube manufacturing area and lab to learn about the multi-axis CNC machines that can be used for flat and tube production, as well as medical devices such stent shafts, hypotubes and PTCA devices.

With diameters ranging from 10 to 324 millimeters and pipe and profile lengths up to 12.5 meters, our system solutions offer the largest available selection for the flexible production of small and large series.

Laser technology can be used to create custom shapes and make them cut to length. Raw material is used to produce finished or semi-finished products.

Let's examine the benefits of using an automated tube storage system and section bar storage system in conjunction with a Lasertube-cutting system.

The CO2 Resonator is more powerful and uses more energy. This is because electricity is used to mix gases to make the laser beam. Mirrors assist the light in increasing its intensity, which prepares it to exit the resonance. Once the beam has left the resonator it must travel through several cooled reflections before reaching the lens. This is what causes the laser beam to lose its power and quality.

NIT shows how a Coherent laser cutter machine can be used for vertical manufacturing of Nitinol or other metal components. This machine has outstanding precision and edge-quality.

Some things are obvious. A fiber laser has a smaller laser "generator" than a CO2-resonator. Actually, the fiber laser is made by banks of diodes which are combined in a small module. These modules can have a power range from 600 to 1,500 W. To create the final powered resonance, multiple modules are spliced together. This is usually the same size as a small filing cupboard. The fiber-optic cables channel the light and amplify it. Fiber-optic cables transmit the same light as when they were generated, with no loss of power and quality. The fiber-optic cable is then adjusted and focused to cut the appropriate material.

Eliminate secondary operations: A tube laser can cut a piece to length and add holes and other cutout designs in a single step, eliminating the need for secondary actions and manual material removal. You gain the ability to hold tight tolerances on more complex fabrications. Parts can be produced from one continuous piece of raw material to ensure that they only fit one way and are easily assembled. We can tube laser aluminum, stainless steel and carbon.

Fiber lasers can be used to cut reflective materials and provide precise cutting. They are almost maintenance-free. They can also cut certain thicknesses of metal faster than CO2 lasers. But speed is only relative when cutting tube. Speeding up the process of cutting tube and producing finished products can make time savings.
