Laser tube cutting at home doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Students and engineers alike can cut like never seen before
A tube's very nature prevents the use of high-powered lasers. Flat sheet laser cutting machines can now be equipped with laser generators that are as powerful as 12kW. Tube laser cutting machines, however, only require 5kW. You must always consider the side you are cutting when you work with a tube. A stronger laser will simply cut through the tube from the opposite end. (Officially, you don't have any need to worry if you are cutting a beam or channel with the tube laser.
This is the simplest and most effective way to get into the world of tube laser cutting. Tubes up O 4,72", (120 mm),2D cutFiber Laser
Secondary operations are eliminated: A tube Laser can cut a length of piece, add holes and cutout other designs in one operation. It also eliminates the need for additional actions like manual material removal. For more complex fabrications, you can maintain tight tolerances. Parts can easily be manufactured from one continuous raw material. Tube laser aluminum, stainless-steel and carbon can be made.
This fully-automatic solution guarantees maximum productivity as well as rapid production changes. Tube O Range min. 0.47" (12 mm) - max. 6" (152.4 mm)3D cutting modeFiber laser
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube and StarFiber laser-powered cutting machines helped NPX Medical gain a competitive edge in stent manufacturing and more.
North America's premier magazine for the metal-forming and fabricating industries, The FABRICATOR, is THE FABRICATOR. The magazine contains news, technical articles, case histories, and other information that will help fabricators perform their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970, The FABRICATOR serves the industry.
ExactCut 430 can be used to automate the automated processing of thick and thin metals and alloys as well as brittle materials, such as sapphire and PCD.
Lasertube systems can be used to develop new applications and improve existing ones. This allows you to enter new industrial sectors, increasing profits, and allowing for new opportunities.
It's 1/3 of a full 20-foot (248") tube making it convenient for you to make 3 pieces of stock. This allows for you to still purchase full tubes lengths without wasting any material.
The SL has a rock-solid platform for cutting (the SL uses a base made of mineral casts). These machines provide the highest precision with contour cutting accuracy better than +/-5 um. The latest Monaco USP laser, or the fiber laser, allows for precise cutting of any type of metal or polymer.
Let's look below at the advantages of using an automatic tube and section bar storage system with a Lasertube cutting system.
The fiber laser requires less maintenance than a CO2 laser. The fiber laser does not need the mirror cleaning or bellows checking that a CO2 cutting machine requires. The fiber laser doesn't need any preventive maintenance, provided it receives clean chiller and cooling water.
Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s tube-laser-cutting systems incorporate intelligent machine functions, such as intelligent monitoring, setup, cutting, and other functions. These automated functions make it easier to operate and increase machine efficiency. These lasers are versatile and can be used in many industries.
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.
