Metal fabricators know a lot about what flat sheet processing has involved with fiber laser cutting technology. But, what does the fiber laser do for tube cutting? A lot actually.

StarCut Tube SL combines an fs-laser to create complex metal shapes.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the capability to produce tube lasers that can be used to replace manual processes or optimize the cutting process.

Laser cutting technology with shape can allow for complete customization. The raw material can be used to create finished or semifinished parts.

Highest flexibility for cutting different medical devices, in metals or plastics, from tubes or flat stock with the Coherent StarCut Tube “hybrid” version. This turnkey laser machine incorporates two lasers in a single compact housing.

Fiber lasers are practically maintenance-free and have superior wall plug efficiency to CO2 laser cutters. They can also cut reflective materials and provide precise cutting. They can also be used to cut certain metal thicknesses faster than CO2 machines. Speed is relative when it involves cutting tube. It is possible to reduce the time required for tube processing and produce finished parts faster.

Wide Range

All types, any shapes: This three dimensional cutting machine can cut carbon steel, aluminum, red metals, and stainless steel in any round, square or rectangular shape.

Some things can be quite obvious. The fiber laser "generator", as it is called, is smaller than traditional CO2 resonators. The fiber laser is actually created by banks and modules of diodes. They can be assembled into a compact module with a power range of 600 to 1,500 watts. A number of modules are combined to make the final powered receiver, which is often the size of small filing cabinets. The light is amplified and channeled through fiber-optic cabling. The fiber-optic cable transmits the light exactly as it was before. This ensures that there is no loss of quality or power. Then, it is adjusted and focused according to the material being cut.

When fabricators think about fiber laser cutting technology, they might think of high-speed cutting first. That might be true, but when it comes to tube cutting, speed is relative. It’s more about the time it takes to process a tube to meet specifications than actual cutting speed on the tube.

Due to the power required to make a CO2 laser it is much less efficient than a fiber laser and has a lower wall plug efficiency. The large chillers needed to create CO2 lasers require more power overall. The fiber laser resonator has a wall plug efficiency of over 40 percent so you not only use less power but also take up less of your high-demand floor space.

You can manufacture medical devices with precision and maximum availability using Coherent lasers for cutting and drilling, texturizing, texturizing, and marking.

Imagine having to place a through-hole centered on a tube. It has to be centered to the actual dimension, not just one face of the tube. If the tube is bowed, that’s going to make things more difficult. That’s the life of tube fabricating.

Automation

All types, all forms: This three-dimensional cutter machine will cut carbon and stainless steel, aluminum, and red metals in all shapes and sizes. It can be used to cut irregular, round, square, rectangular, and rectangular shapes.

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.
