We offer you the ideal solutions for the world of laser tube cutting. Find out here how lasers can eliminate entire process steps while also increasing the range of parts you can produce.

Lasertube allows you to make suggestions for improvements to your customers' parts design. The extensive library of connections can be used for assembly without the use of screws or welding.

The tube's inherent nature means that a laser generator is not required. While flat sheet laser cutting machines are now available with laser generators of up to 12 kW, tube-cutting machines typically require a maximum power of 5 kW. Tubes require you to be aware of the opposite side when cutting. A more powerful laser would cut through the tube's other side. (Officially, the tube laser can be used to process a beam or channel.

How can you compensate for this? Traditionally, you will touch your face with a sensor marking the contact point. The tube is then rotated and the opposite end of the tube touched. The control will then be able to see how bent the tube looks. This allows for precise measurements and ensures that the through-holes will work properly. Keep in mind, however, that every rotation of the tube reduces the ability for very high tolerances.

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.

Motion Dynamics is a leading manufacturer of neurological sub-assemblies, including steerable catheters and “pull-wire” assemblies, making use of our StarCut Tube machines for precision cutting of key components.

Remember that there is no perfect tube. They can have bows. They can have weld seams that protrude on both the interior and exterior of the tube. This material can be difficult to process consistently and quickly when there are inconsistencies from one product to the next.

The option to choose between 2D/3D laser cutting technology allows for the possibility of customizing and precise cutting parts in a wide range of shapes. These include tubes with square, rectangular, and round shapes, as well as profiles with varied open cross-sections (e.g. H, L. T, Ucross-sections). 3D technology is capable of cutting straight edges up to 45degrees. This flexibility makes it unnecessary to perform costly milling and drilling, punching, punching, or other sawing operations.

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.

The fiber laser does not require as much maintenance. The fiber laser doesn't need to be cleaned as often as a CO2 laser cutter machine. The fiber laser does not require any preventive maintenance as long as it has access to clean chiller water and that the filters are regularly replaced.

The CO2 resonance is larger and requires more power as electricity is used to heat a mixture of gases to produce the laser beam. Mirrors increase the intensity of the light and prepare it to leave the resonator. After leaving the resonator the beam must travel through a path made up of several cooled lenses until it reaches its destination. This travel results in a loss in power and quality for the laser beam.

Fiber lasers have wavelengths of 1.06 microns. This wavelength is 10 percent lower than the CO2 laser beam. Fiber lasers have a much shorter wavelength which makes them more able to absorb reflective material. CO2 lasers are more likely reflect off these surfaces. Fiber laser cutting machines can be used to cut brass and copper as well as other reflective materials. The machine's laser beam, as well as the beam path, can be damaged by a CO2 laser beam reflected off the material. This risk is eliminated if the beam path is used with a fiber optic cable.
