What is the difference between a tube cutter and a pipe cutter
Variety is the reality of any job shop, and the same goes for those that operate a tube laser. It’s not unusual to see parts of various sizes come from one tube. The machine must be able to unload laser-cut parts that may be as small as 2 in. and as long as 15 ft., one right after the other. It also must be able to unload those parts without damaging them, which can be a challenge with softer metals such as aluminum.
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.
Fitness equipment must be built with the highest standards of design, durability, usability, efficiency, and compactness.
Laser cutting machines can cut sheets of metal in seconds. It's possible to do the exact same thing with a laser tube-cutting machine, but that's another story.
Reduce time and the number of parts required. Tube frames and metal structures can be assembled faster and with more precision. In one programming step, you can complete your part on one machine and one system.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s team of experts can assist you with innovative designs that can improve the aesthetics, increase functionality, and deliver new products faster to market.
Our system solutions are flexible enough to produce small and large batches with diameters between 10 and 324 millimeters.
Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. tube laser-cutting machines incorporate intelligent machine functions, including monitoring, setup, and cutting functions. These functions automate machine operation, increasing efficiency and ease of use. These machines are ideal for many industries thanks to their tube and pipe lasers.
Let's look below at the advantages of using an automatic tube and section bar storage system with a Lasertube cutting system.
The right cutting technology for every requirement. Depending on the materials that are to be processed and the desired cutting quality and level ofproductivity, users have the choice between CO2 laser cuttingsystems and fiber laser cutting systems.
Some things are quite noticeable. The laser “generator” on a fiber laser is much smaller when compared to a traditional CO2 resonator. In fact, the fiber laser is created by banks of diodes that are put together in a briefcase-size module that can range in power from 600 to 1,500 watts. Multiple modules are spliced together to create the final powered resonator, which is typically the size of a small filing cabinet. The light generated is channeled and amplified through fiber-optic cable. When the light exits the fiber-optic cable, it is the same that is was upon being generated with no loss of power or quality. It is then adjusted and focused for the type of material to be cut.
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.
All types and all shapes: This 3-dimensional cutting machine cuts carbon, aluminum, stainless, and red metals. It is available in round, rectangular, irregular and square shapes.
We offer a tube extension for loading tube stock up to 80", or 6'8". Note that the maximum part size remains 52"
