Another thing to consider is the modular design of the fiber laser. These modules are small enough to be carried in a briefcase and allow for redundancy. The resonator does not completely shut off if one module fails. The fiber laser acts redundantly in that it can produce more power temporarily in order to support the damaged module until repairs can take place. (This can, by the way can be done on the field). Other times, the fiber-resonator can continue producing lower power until repairs can take place. A CO2 resonator issue can lead to the complete resonator being down.
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.
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.
When fabricators think of fiber laser cutting technology they may first think high-speed. This might be true. However, speed is subjective when it comes to tube-cutting. It's not the cutting speed of the tube that matters, but rather the processing time.
Laser fabrication solutions that meet your exact needs are available. They also offer process efficiency and quality for metal and non-metal fabrication.
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.
Parts are held in place with automatic tabbing, done in FabCreator and a set o jaws on each drive chuck or idler chuck.
In the manufacture of fitness equipment, design, durability and usability are key construction principles.
Monaco high-power, femtosecond-lasers offer superior edge quality for micromachining and improved scientific applications such as three-photon microscopy.
StarCut Tube L 600 is available with a fiber laser, a USP laser or both lasers. StarCut Tube SL is a compact model with the smallest footprint in the market.
Laser tube cutting machines do not have standard material towers. Bundle loaders provide the fastest method of handling tube material. One tube is fed from a bundle into the tube laser by a singularizing system. This type isn't able to feed open profiles like angles and channels. They interlock in the bundle and are not easy to get free. Step loaders can be used to sequence open profiles one by one into the machine, while still maintaining the proper orientation.
The other factor to keep in mind is that the traditional method of checking for bows and twists in the tube can take up to five or seven seconds before cutting commences. With the traditional means of touch sensing, you have to trade productivity for accuracy. Again, in the age of fiber laser cutting, this can seem like a lifetime, but working with tube is not as simple as working with sheet metal.
Many believed fiber lasers could only work with thin materials. Because CO2 has a longer wavelength, it created enough material kerf to permit material removal. Fiber lasers can't produce the same level of kerf and results with thicker materials. This has been corrected by collimating tech, which can produce a wide fiber laser-generated beam that allows for materials separation. It also makes it possible to allow for material removal in thicker materials. You can also switch the beam width so that the machine can process thin materials with the narrower beam. This allows you to process more materials in a shorter time.

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.
