Coherent StarCut Tube 'hybrid' version provides the highest flexibility for cutting medical devices made of metals or plastics. This machine integrates two lasers within a compact housing.
Remember that checking for bends or bows in the tube using traditional methods can take five to seven seconds before cutting starts. The traditional method of touch sensing is not as accurate as it was. This means you must compromise productivity in order to achieve accuracy. Even though it may seem like a lifetime in the age fiber laser cutting technology, tube work isn't as easy as sheet metal.
StarCut Tube L 600 comes with a fiber or USP laser. StarCut Tube SL, a compact model that has the smallest footprint available on the market, is the StarCut Tube SL.
We offer a tube extender for loading tube stock of up to 80" (6'8") You can still use the tube extension to load stock up to 80" or 6'8".
You may have noticed that we haven’t discussed cutting speed yet. It is possible to cut up to 500 inches per minute on a tube, but that’s not always realistic. In laser tube cutting, the real focus should be on how long it takes to load a tube, index it so it’s in the right position for cutting, pierce and cut it, and unload the part. It’s more about part-processing time with laser tube cutting machines, not cutting speed.
Whatever your customers' requests, with Lasertube you can recommend improvements to part design from the extensive library of connectionsfor assembling without screws or welds.
A CO2 laser is more efficient than a fiber one because it requires less power to create. This means that large chillers for CO2 lasers will require more overall power. With a wall plug efficiency greater than 40%, the fiber laser resonance uses less power and takes up less space.

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.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s team of experts can work with you to develop innovative designs that can improve aesthetics, increase functionality and deliver new products to market faster.
StarCut Tube, a laser tube cutter machine StarCut Tube, offers unparalleled precision with contour cutting accuracy of +/-5um.
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.
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.

The laser beam is the most important component of the laser cutter; it determines wavelength and power, and thus the material that it can cut or engrave. Solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and CO2 lasers are the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting.
