Due to the high power needed to create a CO2 Laser, it is less efficient than a fiber-laser. Also, the large chillers that are required to make CO2 lasers work require more power. You are using less power due to the fiber laser's wall plug efficiency exceeding 40 percent. This means that you also use less of your floor space in high-demand areas.
Coherent StarCut Tube "hybrid", version has the greatest flexibility for cutting various medical devices in metals or other plastics from tubes or flat stock. This laser machine is a turnkey solution that combines two lasers in one compact housing.

A tube extension is available to load tube stock upto 80", or 6’8". It is important to note that the maximum part sizes remain at 52".
Lasertube systems are a great way to improve or create new applications. They also allow you enter new industrial areas and increase your profit margins.
Because of the amount of power required to create a CO2 laser, it is less efficient and has a much lower wall plug efficiency when compared to a fiber laser. It follows that the large chillers required for the CO2 lasers need more overall power too. Given the fiber laser resonator’s wall plug efficiency of more than 40 percent, you are not only using less power, but also less of your in-high-demand floor space.
Reduce the amount of components and save time. You can make tubular frames or metal structures that are easier to assemble and more precise. Your part can be completed in just one programming step and in one machining step.
The tube laser cutting solution has the greatest working range. Tubes upto O 9.45" (240mm), 3D cutting modeCO2 OR fiber laser
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.
Traditional tube features can be tedious. FabLight makes getting exactly what you want and how it was designed easy. It takes just minutes.
You should also consider the shortcase-sized modules of the fiber laser. They provide redundancy. The resonator will not shut down completely if one of the modules has a problem. The fiber laser works in redundant mode so that the other modules can provide more power temporarily to sustain the down module's needs until they can be repaired. Field repairs are possible, however. Sometimes the fiber laser can produce less power while repairs are being made. An issue with a CO2 Resonator will cause the entire system to fail.
StarCut Tube, a laser tube cutter machine StarCut Tube, offers unparalleled precision with contour cutting accuracy of +/-5um.
High cutting performance is a hallmark of CO2 lasers. They are most useful in medium-to-high material thicknesses. Laser beam cutting edges are low-scoring and throughburr-free. The laser beam can also be used to cut additional parts without the need for rework.
Be aware that there is no perfect tub. They may have bows. You may find weld seams on both the outside and the inside of the tube. When there are inconsistencies between product runs, it can be a challenge to process the material efficiently and consistently.
The laser beam is the most important component of the laser cutter; it determines wavelength and power, and thus the material that it can cut or engrave. Solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and CO2 lasers are the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting.
A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
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.
