The SL has a rock-solid platform for cutting (the SL uses a base made of mineral casts). These machines provide the highest precision with contour cutting accuracy better than +/-5 um. The latest Monaco USP laser, or the fiber laser, allows for precise cutting of any type of metal or polymer.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. works closely with you to create a program that meets your specific needs. We will examine the current production of your part, determine its end use and application, and then work with you to meet your needs.

Due to the high power needed to create a CO2 Laser, it is less efficient than a fiber-laser. Also, the large chillers that are required to make CO2 lasers work require more power. You are using less power due to the fiber laser's wall plug efficiency exceeding 40 percent. This means that you also use less of your floor space in high-demand areas.

Fiber lasers achieve high cutting speeds in thin material thicknesses. Additionally they boast low power consumption while requiring little maintenance.The special properties of this laser cutting technology enable applications insteel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, such as copper andbrass.

Weld

You have the option of choosing between 2D and 3-D laser cutting technology. This allows you to make precise and customized cuts in a variety of parts, including tubes with rectangular, square, or rectangular shapes. There is also the possibility to cut profiles with diverse cross-sections (for instance, H, U, T, or Ucross sections). 3D technology not only allows straight cutting edges but also permits bevel cuts up to 45 degrees. This versatility means that you don't need to spend a lot of money on milling. Drilling. Punching. Sawing.

Laser generating technology is now available for sheet laser cutting machines that can deliver up to 12 kW power. Laser tube cutting machines typically have a maximum power output of 5 kW, as any additional power would also cut through the opposite end of the tube.

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

Another consideration in tube cutting is the weld seam. This material is roll-formed and welded together. This brings up two points that typically must be addressed:

Because of the amount of power required to create a CO2 laser, it is less efficient and has a much lower wall plug efficiency when compared to a fiber laser. It follows that the large chillers required for the CO2 lasers need more overall power too. Given the fiber laser resonator’s wall plug efficiency of more than 40 percent, you are not only using less power, but also less of your in-high-demand floor space.

Fiber lasers are 10 percent shorter than CO2 laser beams in wavelength. Because of its shorter wavelength, fiber lasers produce a beam that is easier to absorb by reflective materials. A CO2 laser's wavelength is less likely to reflect off these surfaces. This allows fiber laser cutting machines to cut brass, bronze, and other reflective material. A CO2 laser beam that reflects on the material can damage not only its cutting lens, but the entire beam path. This risk can be eliminated by using fiber-optic cables to guide the beam.

Fiber lasers cut in thin material with fast speeds. They also require little maintenance and are low in power consumption. This laser cutting technology's special properties allow applications in steel and stainless steel as well aluminum and non-ferrous metallics like copper or brass.

The high cutting speed of CO2 lasers is what makes them stand out. Their main application area is the medium-to-high range of material thicknesses. The laser beam cuts with high precision and is free from burrs. This allows the parts to be processed further without needing to be reworked.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

What is the operation of a CO2 Laser? 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.
