Tube Laser Cutting Systems 2021
Sheet laser cutting machines are now sold with laser generating technology capable of delivering as much as 12 kW of power. A laser tube cutting machine typically tops out at 5 kW because any more power would simultaneously cut through the opposite side of the tube.
Coherent StarCut Tube 'hybrid' version provides the highest flexibility for cutting medical devices made of metals or plastics. This machine integrates two lasers within a compact housing.
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.
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.
See how NIT uses a Coherent laser cutting machine for vertical manufacturing of nitinol and other metal components with exceptional precision and edge quality.
Laser tube cutting at home doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Students and engineers alike can cut like never seen before
All types, all shapes: This machine can cut carbon, stainless and aluminum in any shape or form.
Eliminate secondary operations: A tube laser can cut a piece to length and add holes and other cutout designs in a single step, eliminating the need for secondary actions and manual material removal. You gain the ability to hold tight tolerances on more complex fabrications. Parts can be produced from one continuous piece of raw material to ensure that they only fit one way and are easily assembled. We can tube laser aluminum, stainless steel and carbon.
Lasertube systems make it possible to create new applications or enhance existing ones. You can also enter new industries, increasing profits margins, and even entering new sectors.
The laser cutting system StarCut Tube SL provides highest accuracy, superior reliability, and high performance when cutting complex medical devices such as stents, aortic valve replacements, or hypotubes.
It is important to remember that traditional ways of checking for twists and bows can take up five or seven seconds, before cutting can begin. Touch sensing can only be used for precision. It can seem that this is all a lot, but it's not the same as working with sheetmetal.
A laser cutting machine that cuts sheet metal can change out a sheet in seconds. The same can be done on a laser tube cutting machine, but it’s a whole different story as to how it’s done.
StarCut Tube SL, a turnkey machine, includes an fs laser. It is perfect for laser cutting complex shapes like thrombectomy stent retrievers.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers tube laser manufacturing capabilities that allow our customers to replace manual processes, and optimize the cutting process.
