The TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber attains record speeds. It maximizes the potential of solid-state lasers. This allows users to have fast processing times and access to many possible parts.
Another thing to remember is that traditional methods of checking for twists and bows in the tube may take as long as five to seven seconds before cutting begins. You have to compromise accuracy for productivity with traditional touch sensing. This can be frustrating, especially in this age of fiber laser cutting. However, working with tube is much more difficult than working with sheet metal.

Many believed that fiber lasers were only suitable for thin materials. Because of its longer wavelength, CO2 created enough kerf to allow for material removal. The fiber laser could not produce the same results or kerf with thicker materials. This problem has been solved by collimating technology, which can create a wider fiber laser-generated beam. This allows for materials separation and more room to remove thicker materials. The machine can switch between the beam widths, so it can process thinner materials with the narrower beam. This allows for faster processing of different-sized materials using the same fiber laser cutting machine.
Fiber lasers can cut thin materials at high speeds. They are also very energy-efficient and require little maintenance. This laser cutting technology has special properties that allow for applications in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, as well as non-ferrous metals like copper and brass.
NIT shows how a Coherent laser cutter machine can be used for vertical manufacturing of Nitinol or other metal components. This machine has outstanding precision and edge-quality.
Leaders in advanced laser-cutting solutions and CNC controls.
Motion Dynamics is a leader in the manufacture of neuro-sub-assemblies. This includes steerable catheters, "pull-wire" assemblies and other neurological components. We use our StarCut Tube machines to precisely cut key components.
StarCut Tube Lab and Production Area - Take a look inside to find out more about our fully-automated, multiaxis CNC machines. These machines can cut tubes and flat material, as well medical devices such stents or hypotubes, PTCA, TAVR, and other devices.
Laser cutting machines can cut sheets of metal in seconds. It's possible to do the exact same thing with a laser tube-cutting machine, but that's another story.
The weld seam is another consideration when tube cutting. This material is roll-formed, then welded together. Two points are usually required to be addressed.

Some machinery manufacturers use cameras to check tubes. This is done in an effort to close the time gap. Cameras reduce the time required to check quality and reduce the number rotations. This ensures that the machine can retain its productivity and accuracy.
Our system solutions have the most flexible selection available for small and large-scale production. They are available in diameters of 10 to 324 mm and lengths of pipe and profiles up to 12.5 m.
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.
