A few machinery manufacturers now use cameras to verify tubes. The cameras reduce the quality inspection to less than a second, as well as the number of required rotations. This allows the machine both to remain productive and accurate.

North America's foremost magazine for the metal fabricating and metal forming industry, FABRICATOR. The magazine features news, technical articles, as well as case histories, that help fabricators do their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970, FABRICATOR is serving the industry.

It is one third of a 20-foot (20-24") tube. This makes it possible to make three separate stock items. This allows you to purchase full tube lengths while not wasting material.

Lasertube systems allow you to create or improve new applications, allowing you to enter new industries and increase profit margins.

The worthwhile laser tube cutting machine: the TruLaser Tube 3000 fiber is economical even when it is not being fully utilized. Thanks to its reliability and easy of operation, it is perfect for first-time users or as a supplementary machine.

A CO2 laser requires more power to produce than a fiber laser. This makes it less efficient and has lower wall plug efficiency. You will also need to use more power for the large CO2 laser chillers. Because the fiber laser-resonator's wall-plug efficiency is greater than 40 percent, it uses less power as well as less of your in high-demand flooring space.

When fabricators think of fiber laser cutting technology they may first think high-speed. This might be true. However, speed is subjective when it comes to tube-cutting. It's not the cutting speed of the tube that matters, but rather the processing time.

You can take a look at our StarCut Tube production area and lab to learn more about these multi-axis CNC machines for tubes, flat materials and medical devices like catheter shafts and hypotubes.

Laser cutting machines that cut sheet metal can turn a sheet into a sheet in seconds. A laser tube cutter machine can do the same thing, but it's quite different in how it's done.

The weld seam is another consideration in tube cutting. This material is then roll-formed before being welded together. This brings us to two important points that should be addressed.

The most productive solution to tubes of any section. Tubes upto O 6" (152.4mm).2D cutCO2 (or fiber laser).

Fiber lasers can cut thin materials at high speeds. They are also very energy-efficient and require little maintenance. This laser cutting technology has special properties that allow for applications in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, as well as non-ferrous metals like copper and brass.

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.
