Some things are very obvious. A fiber laser's laser generator is smaller than a CO2 resonator. The fiber laser is actually made from banks of diodes, which are assembled in a module the size of a briefcase. It can produce power from 600 to 1,500 Watts. The final powered resonator is made up of multiple modules that are connected together. It can be as small as a small filing cabinet. Fiber-optic cable amplifies the light produced and channels it. The light that exits the fiber optic cable is exactly the same as it was when it was generated. There is no loss in power or quality. The light is then focused and adjusted to determine the material that will be cut.
Record speeds are achieved by the TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber. This fiber takes full advantage the solid-state laser's strengths. This means that the user can process quickly and have access to a large number of parts.
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.
The very nature of a tube prevents the need for a machine with a very high-powered laser. Whereas flat sheet laser cutting machines now are available with laser generators as powerful as 12 kW, tube laser cutting machines usually only require a maximum of 5 kW of power. With a tube, you always have to think about the opposite side of the tube you are cutting. A more powerful laser simply would blow through the other side of the tube during cutting. (Of course, if you are processing a beam or a channel on the tube laser you don’t have to worry about another side.)
Our system solutions have the most flexible selection available for small and large-scale production. They are available in diameters of 10 to 324 mm and lengths of pipe and profiles up to 12.5 m.

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.
TruLaser Tube3000 fiber: The laser tube-cutting machine that is worth the investment is the TruLaser 3000. This is an economical and reliable laser tube cutter. This machine is great for both first-time users and as an add-on.
At one time many thought that fiber lasers could be used only for thin materials. The CO2, with its larger wavelength, created enough kerf during the cutting of thick materials that enough space was allowed for material removal; the fiber laser couldn’t produce the same kerf or results with thicker materials. But that has been addressed in recent years with collimating technology that can produce a wider fiber laser-generated beam that creates materials separation and room for material removal in thick materials. And since the beam width is switchable, the machine can use the narrower beam to process thin materials, which allows for faster processing of different-sized materials on the same fiber laser cutting machine.
Secondary operations can be eliminated: A tube laser can easily cut a piece of material to the desired length, add holes or other cutout designs in one step. This eliminates the need for manual material removal. This allows you to maintain tight tolerances for more complicated fabrications. You can make parts from one continuous piece. This allows you to ensure they fit in one direction and is easy to assemble. Tube laser aluminum, carbon and stainless steel can all be tubed.
With a rock-solid cutting platform (the SL uses a mineral cast base) these machines offer the ultimate in precision, with contour cutting accuracies better than +/- 5 µm. A choice of fiber laser or the latest Monaco USP laser enables fine cutting of any polymer or metal.
Leaders in advanced laser-cutting solutions and CNC controls.
Lasertube systems make it possible to create new applications or enhance existing ones. You can also enter new industries, increasing profits margins, and even entering new sectors.
Modern CO2 machines typically generate the laser beam in a sealed glass tube filled with gas, typically carbon dioxide. A high voltage flows through the tube, interacting with the gas particles and increasing their energy, resulting in the production of light.
Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method.
