Tube Lasers Cutting Systems Manufacturers

Imagine you are required to place a throughhole in a tube. The tube must be centered at the correct dimension. The tube should not be bent. That's tube fabrication.

You can eliminate secondary operations. A tube laser is able to cut a piece and add holes, or any other cutout design in one step. The ability to control tolerances on more complicated fabrications is gained. To ensure parts fit together in a single way, you can use one continuous piece. We can tube laser-cut aluminum, stainless and carbon.

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.

Some things are extremely obvious. The size of the laser "generator," on a fiber laser, is much smaller than that of a traditional CO2 resonanceator. The fiber laser is made up of banks of diodes. Each module can hold 600 to 1,500W. Multiple modules can be spliced together in order to create the final powered-resonator. This module is typically about the same size and shape as a small filing box. Fiber-optic cable channels the light generated and amplifies it. The light is still the same quality and power when it exits the fibre-optic conduit. It is then adjusted for the type and focus of the material to be cut.

Whether it is the manufacture of specific equipment for gyms, or smaller, multifunctional exercise machines for domestic spaces, tubes are the fundamental building blocks. This is why tube processing technologies, such as bending and laser cutting, are so widely used in this sector.

It's 1/3 of a full 20-foot (248") tube making it convenient for you to make 3 pieces of stock. This allows for you to still purchase full tubes lengths without wasting any material.

What can you do to compensate? You will traditionally touch your face with a sensor to mark the contact point. The tube is then turned and touched on the other side. This gives the control an indication of how bent the tube is. This is a reliable method that can guarantee the through-holes are working for the application. However, this method reduces the ability to deliver extremely high tolerances for each rotation of the tube.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is able to manufacture tube lasers for customers, allowing them to eliminate manual processes and maximize the cutting process.
