TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber is an affordable laser tube cutting machine. It's easy to use and reliable, making it ideal for new users as well as those who need a second machine.

Shape laser technology allows complete customization and cutting-to-length capabilities in just a single step. You can make finished or semifinished parts from the raw material.

This is the simplest way to get into tube laser cutting. Tubes up to O 4,72 inches (120 mm).2D cutFiber laser

Is water jet cutting better than laser

The wavelength of fiber lasers is 1.06 microns. This is 10% less than the wavelength of a CO2 laser beam. The fiber laser emits a beam with a shorter wavelength that is more easily absorbed and reflected by reflective materials than a CO2 laser. Fiber laser cutting machines are able to cut brass, copper and other reflective materials. Be aware that the CO2 laser beam can damage not only the machine's lens but also the entire beam path. This risk is eliminated by using a fiber-optic cables for the beam path.

Most metal fabricators have a strong understanding of what fiber laser cutting technology has done for flat sheet processing, but just what has the fiber laser done for tube cutting? Quite a bit, actually.

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. Discover all-round solutions for the world of laser tube cutting and find out more about the TruLaser Tube machines.

Large diameter tubes and profiles can be cut with CO2. Tubes up O 14"/24" (355mm /610mm)3D Cutting modeCO2 laser

The CO2 resonance is larger and requires more power as electricity is used to heat a mixture of gases to produce the laser beam. Mirrors increase the intensity of the light and prepare it to leave the resonator. After leaving the resonator the beam must travel through a path made up of several cooled lenses until it reaches its destination. This travel results in a loss in power and quality for the laser beam.

The shape laser technology allows you to customize and cut-to length in one step. From raw material, finished or semi-finished parts can be produced.

Metal fabricators are well-versed in the basics of fiber laser cutting technology for flat sheet processing. But what about tube cutting? It's quite a lot.

Large Diameter Tubes

These machines are rock-solid and have a mineral-cast base. They offer precision contour cutting accuracy of +/- 5um. You can choose from a fiber laser or the most recent Monaco USP laser for fine cutting any metal or polymer.

Remember that there is no perfect tube. They can have bows. They can have weld seams that protrude on both the interior and exterior of the tube. This material can be difficult to process consistently and quickly when there are inconsistencies from one product to the next.

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.

from 3 months to 3 years
Glass CO2 laser tubes all degrade over time, with lifespans ranging from 3 months to 3 years. With use, the CO2 inside the tube degrades into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Overdriving the tube only accelerates this process and shortens its working life.

A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
