Tube extensions are available for loading tube stock to the maximum length of 80", or 6'8". The maximum part size is 52".

Motion Dynamics is a top manufacturer of neurological subassemblies. These include steerable catheters and "pullwire" assemblies. Motion Dynamics makes use of StarCut Tube machines for precise cutting of key components.

Even for XXL tubes, this machine is designed for maximum productivity. This machine is robust and solid-state laser capable of processing tubes and profiles of a wide variety of materials and wall thicknesses.

Reduce time and the number of parts required. Tube frames and metal structures can be assembled faster and with more precision. In one programming step, you can complete your part on one machine and one system.

Tube Lasers Cutting Systems 101

Tubes are very simple and do not require a powerful laser. Tube laser cutting machines require only 5 kW power, whereas flat sheet laser cutters can be powered by laser generators up to 12 kW. When cutting a tube, it is important to always think about the other side. A stronger laser would simply blow through the tube on the opposite side during cutting. You don't need to worry about the other side if you're processing a beam of a channel or a channel using the tube laser.

You can find the right technology to meet your needs. You have the option of either CO2 laser or fiber laser cutting systems depending on what materials you are working with and how much productivity and quality you desire.

Process

Profiles and tubes are widely used in all areas of engineering, from system construction to furniture manufacturing. The lasers have opened up new design possibilities. More and more designers are taking advantage the advantages of laser-cut profiles and tubes, thereby increasing their demand. Explore all the options for laser tube cutting, and learn more about TruLaser Tube machines.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is a team made up of experienced professionals who can work with clients to create innovative designs that will improve aesthetics, increase functionality, and help them bring new products on the market more quickly.

Fiber Laser Machine
Fiber Laser Machine

StarCut Tube L 600 may be purchased with either a fiber, USP or both lasers. StarCut Tube SL Compact Model has the smallest footprint.

Of course, the fiber laser doesn’t need as much attention in terms of maintenance. It doesn’t require mirror cleaning and bellows checks that a CO2 laser cutting machine needs. As long as it gets clean chiller water for cooling and the air filters are routinely replaced, the fiber laser itself is free of preventive maintenance.

Tube Laser Cutting Systems Uses

Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube, StarFiber laser-powered cutting tools helped NPX Medical achieve a competitive edge when it comes to stent manufacturing.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Pipe and tubing Cutting Procedures:

Rotate the pipe cutter around. Tighten the cutter slightly and rotate it around the pipe several times. Repeat until the pipe is severed by the blade. Steel pipe can be cut with a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or steel-pipe tubing cutter.
