Many believed that fiber lasers were only suitable for thin materials. Because of its longer wavelength, CO2 created enough kerf to allow for material removal. The fiber laser could not produce the same results or kerf with thicker materials. This problem has been solved by collimating technology, which can create a wider fiber laser-generated beam. This allows for materials separation and more room to remove thicker materials. The machine can switch between the beam widths, so it can process thinner materials with the narrower beam. This allows for faster processing of different-sized materials using the same fiber laser cutting machine.
Tubes are fundamental building blocks for any type of manufacturing, including equipment for gyms and smaller multifunctional machines for homes. This is why many tube processing technologies like laser cutting or bending are so popular in this sector.
