North America's foremost magazine for the metal fabricating and metal forming industry, FABRICATOR. The magazine features news, technical articles, as well as case histories, that help fabricators do their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970, FABRICATOR is serving the industry.
The shape laser technology allows you to customize and cut-to length in one step. From raw material, finished or semi-finished parts can be produced.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. works closely with you to create a program that meets your specific needs. We will examine the current production of your part, determine its end use and application, and then work with you to meet your needs.
ExactCut 430 laser cutting machine is a precise laser cutting system that automates the processing of thin and heavy metals, alloys, brittle materials such as sapphire, PCD and ceramics.

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.
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.
StarFeed, an automated loader/unloader of the StarCut Tube Laser Cutting Machine, is available in sizes S & L. This allows for fully automated dry or moist cutting tubes with diameters between 1 and 20 millimeters. StarFeed L holds up to 48 tubes. It also allows for the processing and storage of oval tubes. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. It results in a huge increase in productivity.
Traditional tube features can prove time-consuming. FabLight makes fabLight easy. You can get exactly what and how much you want - in minutes!
For loading tube stock up 80" or 6'8", we offer a tube extension. Please note that the maximum part size for this extension is 52".
How do you compensate for that? Traditionally, you are going to come down and touch the face with a sensor that marks the contact point. The tube is then rotated, and the opposite side of the tube is touched. That gives the control an idea of just how bowed the tube is. This method is accurate and can ensure those through-holes work out for the application. But keep in mind that each time a rotation of the tube occurs, the ability to deliver very high tolerances is reduced.
The TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber is capable of reaching record speeds. It makes full use of solid-state Lasers' strengths. This results in shorter processing times for the user and a wider range of parts.
These machines have a rock-solid cutting platform (the SL uses a minerals cast base) and offer unparalleled precision. Contoured cutting accuracy is better than +/-5um. The choice between a fiber laser and the new Monaco USP allows fine cutting of any kind of metal or polymer.
Whether it is the manufacture of specific equipment for gyms, or smaller, multifunctional exercise machines for domestic spaces, tubes are the fundamental building blocks. This is why tube processing technologies, such as bending and laser cutting, are so widely used in this sector.
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.
