The fiber laser's small modules, which are compact and easily transportable, allow for redundancy. The resonator won't completely shut down if one module experiences a problem. In order to provide power for the down module, the fiber laser can temporarily produce more power until it is repaired. This can, of course, be done in the field. Sometimes, the fiber resonator will continue to produce reduced power until repairs are made. If a CO2 reactor has an issue, it can cause the whole resonator to go down.
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube laser-powered cutting machines and StarFiber laser cutters helped NPX Medical to gain a competitive advantage in stent manufacturing.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can provide a variety of fabrication solutions for processing tubes, pipes, or structural steel. The tube lasers of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offer superior laser-cutting technology, but many include additional processing functions that provide value-added benefits to fabricators.
For XXL tube production, the machine was designed to maximize productivity. The machine's solid-state laser can be used to process tubes and profiles in many ways. It is compatible with many types of material and wall thicknesses.
Laser cutting machines that cut sheet metal can turn a sheet into a sheet in seconds. A laser tube cutter machine can do the same thing, but it's quite different in how it's done.
Fiber lasers have high cutting speeds for thin material. These fiber lasers require minimal maintenance and have low power consumption. These laser cutting technologies have special properties, which allow them to be used in steel, stainless, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials, like copper, brass, and bronze.
These laser-generating machines can produce up to 12 kW of power. The power of a laser tube cutter machine is typically 5 kW. This is because it cuts through the tube on the opposite side simultaneously.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can help you develop new designs that improve aesthetics, increase functionality, and bring new products to market quicker.
Check out our StarCut Tube laboratory and production area to see more about these fully-automated multi-axis CNC machine for tubes and flat materials.
Lasertube lets you customize part designs to meet the needs of your customers.
There is a cutting technology that suits every need. Users have two options: CO2 laser cuttingsystems or fiber laser cutting systems, depending on the material to be cut and the level of productivity desired.
The CO2 resonance is larger and requires more power as electricity is used to heat a mixture of gases to produce the laser beam. Mirrors increase the intensity of the light and prepare it to leave the resonator. After leaving the resonator the beam must travel through a path made up of several cooled lenses until it reaches its destination. This travel results in a loss in power and quality for the laser beam.
Let's examine the benefits of using an automated tube storage system and section bar storage system in conjunction with a Lasertube-cutting system.
You can find laser systems that are high-precision and fast for cutting, welding and marking metals and plastics.
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.
