Many thought fiber lasers could only be used for thin materials at one time. Due to its longer wavelength, CO2 produced enough kerf for the cutting of thick materials so that there was enough room for material removal. However, the fiber laser wasn't able to produce the same kerf in thicker materials. The problem was solved in recent years by collimating technology which allows for a wider beam of fiber laser-generated light that can be used to create materials separation. Because the beam width can be switched, the machine can use a narrower beam to process thin material. This makes it possible for the machine to process different-sized materials faster on the same fiber laser cutter machine.
Fiber lasers can be used to cut reflective materials and provide precise cutting. They are almost maintenance-free. They can also cut certain thicknesses of metal faster than CO2 lasers. But speed is only relative when cutting tube. Speeding up the process of cutting tube and producing finished products can make time savings.
StarCut Tube, a laser tube cutter machine StarCut Tube, offers unparalleled precision with contour cutting accuracy of +/-5um.
StarFiber Series is a compact fiber laser series that can be combined with optional focusing head for laser cutting or welding. SmartWeld (tm) technology can be added for fine and wide welding.
You may have noticed we haven’t covered cutting speed. Although you can cut up 500 inches per minute using a tube cutter, it's not always practical. Laser tube cutting involves focusing on the time required to load a tube, index the tube so it's in a good position for cutting and then pierce, cut and unload the part. It is not about cutting speed, but part-processing time when laser tube cutting machines are used.
The weld seam is another consideration when tube cutting. This material is roll-formed, then welded together. Two points are usually required to be addressed.
The tube's inherent nature means that a laser generator is not required. While flat sheet laser cutting machines are now available with laser generators of up to 12 kW, tube-cutting machines typically require a maximum power of 5 kW. Tubes require you to be aware of the opposite side when cutting. A more powerful laser would cut through the tube's other side. (Officially, the tube laser can be used to process a beam or channel.
The most important criteria for the construction of fitness equipment are design, durability, usability, and compactness.
Traditional tube features can take a lot of time. FabLight makes it simple to have exactly what you want, and how you design it in just minutes.
All types, all shapes: This three-dimensional cutting machine will cut carbon, stainless, aluminum and red metals; in round, square, rectangular and irregular shapes.
A second consideration is the fiber laser’s compact modules. They allow for redundancy. The resonator can still shut down when one module is having a problem. The fiber laser is redundant so that other modules can temporarily produce more power to support the down module while repairs are made. These can also be done in field. The fiber resonator may also continue to produce lower power until it can be repaired. The entire CO2 resonator can go down if it has an issue.
For large diameter tubes or profiles, CO2 is the best choice. Tubes up O 14/24" (355 mm/ 610mm) 3D cutting modeCO2 laser
Leaders in the manufacturing of advanced laser cutting solutions.
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.
CO2 laser cutters are the most commonly used types of laser cutters because they are low power, relatively inexpensive, efficient, and can cut through and raster a wide range of materials.
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.
