Tube Laser Cutting Systems How It Works
High cutting quality is one of the main characteristics of CO2 Lasers. Their primary application is in medium to high material thicknesses. The laser beam's cutting edges offer high throughburr and low scoring. This makes it possible to process the cut parts further without having to rework.
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.
Motion Dynamics, a world-class manufacturer of neurological parts, includes steerable catheters or "pullwire" assemblies. Motion Dynamics also makes use of StarCut Tubes for precision cutting key components.

StarFiber Series combine compact fiber lasers with optional focusing heads for laser welding or cutting, including SmartWeld™ technology for fine and wide welds.
Most metal fabricators are familiar with the capabilities of fiber laser technology to cut flat sheets. But what can it do for tube-cutting? A lot, actually.

Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s tube laser-cutting system integrate intelligent functions such as monitoring, setting up, and cutting. These automated functions increase machine efficiency and ease-of-use. The wide range of capabilities offered by Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s tube and pipeline lasers make these machines suitable for many industries and a variety if applications.

When you look closely at a fiber-laser in operation, some things may not be as obvious. A fiber laser's beam diameter is one-third larger than that of a co2 beam. This allows it to have a higher power density. This allows the fiber not only to cut faster but also to pierce much faster. The fiber's smaller beam size allows it to cut intricate shapes, and leave sharp edges. Imagine cutting the logo of your company from a tube where the spacing between the letters is 0.035inches. A fiber can achieve that cut while a laser with CO2 cannot.
It's one-third of a full 20 foot (240") tube. Therefore, it is convenient to make three stocks. This allows you still to buy full tube lengths, without having any wasted material.
Monaco high power femtosecond lasers provide excellent edge quality for micromachining. They also offer improvements in scientific application like three-photon microscopicscopy.
