Tube Lasers Cutting Systems Quality
The maintenance of a fiber laser is not as important. It doesn't need mirror cleaning or bellows checks like a CO2 Laser Cutting Machine. It does not need to be cooled with cold water, and air filters can be replaced regularly.
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.
Profiles and tubes are widely used in all areas of engineering, from system construction to furniture manufacturing. The lasers have opened up new design possibilities. More and more designers are taking advantage the advantages of laser-cut profiles and tubes, thereby increasing their demand. Explore all the options for laser tube cutting, and learn more about TruLaser Tube machines.
Many people believed that fiber lasers could only cut thin materials. The CO2, due to its longer wavelength created enough kerf when cutting thick materials. Fiber lasers couldn't produce the same result with thicker material. Recent developments have addressed this problem with collimating technologies that produce a larger fiber laser-generated beam which creates materials separation. Switchable beam width allows the machine to use the narrower beam for processing thin materials. This allows the machine to process multiple-sized materials more quickly on one fiber laser cutting machine.
StarFiber Series combines compact fiber lasers with optional cutting heads or focusing heads for laser welding and cutting. SmartWeld(tm), which allows for fine and broad welds, is also available.
All types, any shapes: This three dimensional cutting machine can cut carbon steel, aluminum, red metals, and stainless steel in any round, square or rectangular shape.
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube laser-powered cutting machines and StarFiber laser cutters helped NPX Medical to gain a competitive advantage in stent manufacturing.
Parts are held in place with automatic tabbing, done in FabCreator and a set o jaws on each drive chuck or idler chuck.
You can find the right technology to meet your needs. You have the option of either CO2 laser or fiber laser cutting systems depending on what materials you are working with and how much productivity and quality you desire.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect tube. They have bows. Weld seams can protrude not only on the exterior but also the interior of the tube. It’s a real challenge to process this material consistently and rapidly when such inconsistencies exist from one product run to another.
Many applications are possible for processed tubes or profiles. There are many applications for processed tubes and profiles, whether in the automotive, furniture, architecture, petrochemical, or commercial vehicle building. Many industries have embraced laser-assisted manufacturing of tubes and profiles. This allows for a virtually unlimited range of components and unmatched design possibilities.
The wavelength of fiber lasers is 1.06 microns. This is 10% less than the wavelength of a CO2 laser beam. The fiber laser emits a beam with a shorter wavelength that is more easily absorbed and reflected by reflective materials than a CO2 laser. Fiber laser cutting machines are able to cut brass, copper and other reflective materials. Be aware that the CO2 laser beam can damage not only the machine's lens but also the entire beam path. This risk is eliminated by using a fiber-optic cables for the beam path.
StarFiber Series are compact fiber lasers that include optional focusing heads. These can be used for laser cutting and welding, or for laser cutting. SmartWeldTM technology is available for fine welds.
PowerLine C are CO2 laser-based systems for precision drilling, cutting, scribing, marking, and engraving of many non-metals, including glass, organic materials.
