There is no downtime, extended lead times or downtime: We combine a tube mill with a tube laser in one facility so that we can get your project through each stage without any delays or gaps. We can provide full service for your project.
Traditional tube features can be tedious. FabLight makes getting exactly what you want and how it was designed easy. It takes just minutes.
Metal fabricators are well-versed in the basics of fiber laser cutting technology for flat sheet processing. But what about tube cutting? It's quite a lot.
We have the best solutions for laser tube cutting. Learn how lasers can reduce entire processes and increase the number of parts that you can make.
Micrometric Ltd uses a versatile Coherent StarCuttube laser cutting machine for speed and precision in manufacturing aerospace and medical products.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers tube laser manufacturing capabilities that allow our customers to replace manual processes, and optimize the cutting process.

The CO2 reactor is larger and consumes more energy. To produce the laser beam, electricity is added to a mixture gas mixture. Mirrors are used to increase the intensity of light, and prepare it for exiting a resonator. The beam must travel through the path of several cooled reflectors until it reaches lens once it has left the resonance. This travel can cause a loss of power or quality in the laser beam.
How can you compensate? Traditionally, you would touch the contact points by coming down. Next, rotate the tube and touch the opposite side. This will give the control an indication about how bent the tube may be. This can be used to ensure that through-holes fit the application. Be aware that this reduces your ability to deliver very precise tolerances every time the tube rotates.
Metal fabricators understand the benefits of fiber laser cutting technology in flat sheet processing. But do they know what it can do for tube and tube cutting? You can actually find quite a bit.
The StarFeed is an automated loader/unloader for the StarCut Tube laser cutting machine and is available in sizes S and L. This combination allows fully automated dry or wet cutting of tubes from 1-20 mm diameter. The StarFeed L stores up to 48 tubes and even allows the processing of oval tubes. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. The end result is a big increase in productivity.
Reduce secondary operations: A tube-laser can cut a piece to size and add holes and other cutouts in one step. It eliminates the need to perform secondary actions or manually remove material. It is possible to keep tight tolerances even on complex fabrications. Parts can be made from one continuous piece. They are easy to put together and fit perfectly. We can also tube laser carbon, stainless steel, and aluminum.
NIT uses a Coherent Laser Cutting Machine to Vertically Produce Nitinol and Other Metal Components with outstanding precision and edge quality.
We can complete your project in one facility with no downtime and extended lead times. We offer full-service center support that can:
Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
What is the operation of a CO2 Laser? 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.
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.
