To close the time gap when it comes to tube checks, some machinery manufacturers are using cameras for these checks. They reduce the quality check to about half a second and also reduce the number of rotations that are required. This allows the machine to retain productivity as well as accuracy.

No need for multiple vendors and orders to be coordinated. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the ability to manage everything, including material procurement and past delivery.

You don't need to spend a lot of money or be very technical in order to have your own laser tube cutting. Anybody can cut like no one has ever seen, from students to engineers.

Imagine you are required to place a throughhole in a tube. The tube must be centered at the correct dimension. The tube should not be bent. That's tube fabrication.

StarFiber Series is a compact fiber laser series that can be combined with optional focusing head for laser cutting or welding. SmartWeld (tm) technology can be added for fine and wide welding.

Large diameter profiles and tubes can be made with the fiber solution. Tubes up O 14 inches (355 mm).3D cutting modeFiber Laser

Another consideration is the fiber laser’s briefcase-sized modules—they allow for redundancy. If one module has a problem, the resonator doesn’t shut down completely. The fiber laser is redundant in a way that the other modules can produce more power temporarily to support the down module until repairs can be completed—which, by the way, can be done in the field. Other times the fiber resonator can continue producing reduced power until repairs can be made. Unfortunately, if a CO2 resonator has an issue, the entire resonator is down, not just in a reduced-power mode.

It's a third of a full 20-foot (240") tube, making it convenient to create three pieces of stock. This allows you to still purchase full tube lengths without wasting any material

There is a cutting technology that suits every need. Users have two options: CO2 laser cuttingsystems or fiber laser cutting systems, depending on the material to be cut and the level of productivity desired.

Fiber lasers are practically maintenance-free and have superior wall plug efficiency to CO2 laser cutters. They can also cut reflective materials and provide precise cutting. They can also be used to cut certain metal thicknesses faster than CO2 machines. Speed is relative when it involves cutting tube. It is possible to reduce the time required for tube processing and produce finished parts faster.

A tube's very nature prevents the use of high-powered lasers. Flat sheet laser cutting machines can now be equipped with laser generators that are as powerful as 12kW. Tube laser cutting machines, however, only require 5kW. You must always consider the side you are cutting when you work with a tube. A stronger laser will simply cut through the tube from the opposite end. (Officially, you don't have any need to worry if you are cutting a beam or channel with the tube laser.

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.
