Monaco high-power femtosecond lasers deliver superior edge quality in micromachining and improvements in scientific applications like three-photon microscopy.
The maintenance of a fiber laser is not as important. It doesn't need mirror cleaning or bellows checks like a CO2 Laser Cutting Machine. It does not need to be cooled with cold water, and air filters can be replaced regularly.
StarCut Tube is a tube-cutting laser machine that offers precision up to +/- 5um.
Leaders in the manufacturing of advanced laser cutting solutions.
There is no perfect tube. They also have bows. The tube's interior can also be exposed by welding seams. It can be challenging to process this material quickly and consistently when inconsistencies exist between products.
The very nature of a tube prevents the need for a machine with a very high-powered laser. Whereas flat sheet laser cutting machines now are available with laser generators as powerful as 12 kW, tube laser cutting machines usually only require a maximum of 5 kW of power. With a tube, you always have to think about the opposite side of the tube you are cutting. A more powerful laser simply would blow through the other side of the tube during cutting. (Of course, if you are processing a beam or a channel on the tube laser you don’t have to worry about another side.)
There are two options for laser cutting technology: 2D or 3-D. You can customize and cut parts in many different shapes. For example, you can make tubes that have round, square and rectangular shapes. Also, you can cut profiles with various open cross-sections like H, L, T and Ucross-sections. 3D technology can also be used to make bevel cuts as high as 45degrees. This versatility makes it possible to eliminate the need for expensive milling, drilling and punching as well as sawing.
Lasertube systems are 2D and 3-D laser cutting systems that can be used to cut tubes, bars, and profiles. They come in a range of sizes, including 12 mm to 661 mm (.5"-.24") in diameter, and up to 18m (60' in length).
Let's take a look at the benefits of an automated tube and section bar storage with a Lasertube cutter system.
Medical device manufacturing is possible with precision and maximum uptime using Coherent Laser Systems for cutting, welding drilling, texturizing and marking.
Tubes and profiles are used everywhere – from mechanical engineering and system construction all the way to the furniture industry. Lasers have opened up new design possibilities, so more and more designers are taking advantage of the benefits of laser-cut tubes and profiles thereby considerably increasing demand.

A laser tube cutting machine doesn't come with any standard material towers. Bundle loading is the best option for handling tube material. It feeds one tube at a given time from the bundle into a tube laser using a singularizing process. This type cannot be used with open profiles (e.g. channels and angles), because they interlock inside the bundles and don’t move freely. Step loaders, which are used for open profile profiles, sequence one section at time into the machine while maintaining the correct orientation.
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.
