Hydro Tube
Motion Dynamics is a top manufacturer of neurological subassemblies. These include steerable catheters and "pullwire" assemblies. Motion Dynamics makes use of StarCut Tube machines for precise cutting of key components.
Coherent StarCut Tube "hybrid", version has the greatest flexibility for cutting various medical devices in metals or other plastics from tubes or flat stock. This laser machine is a turnkey solution that combines two lasers in one compact housing.
Lasertube systems can be used to develop new applications and improve existing ones. This allows you to enter new industrial sectors, increasing profits, and allowing for new opportunities.
Due to the high power needed to create a CO2 Laser, it is less efficient than a fiber-laser. Also, the large chillers that are required to make CO2 lasers work require more power. You are using less power due to the fiber laser's wall plug efficiency exceeding 40 percent. This means that you also use less of your floor space in high-demand areas.
Medical device manufacturing is possible with precision and maximum uptime using Coherent Laser Systems for cutting, welding drilling, texturizing and marking.
All types, all shapes: This three-dimensional cutting machine will cut carbon, stainless, aluminum and red metals; in round, square, rectangular and irregular shapes.
Monaco high-power, femtosecond-lasers offer superior edge quality for micromachining and improved scientific applications such as three-photon microscopy.
PowerLine C is a CO2 laser-based system for precision drilling, cutting and scribing of many non-metals including glass and organic materials.
Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s tube laser-cutting systems integrate intelligent machine functions which include intelligent monitoring, setup and cutting functions.

Fiber lasers have wavelengths of 1.06 microns. This wavelength is 10 percent lower than the CO2 laser beam. Fiber lasers have a much shorter wavelength which makes them more able to absorb reflective material. CO2 lasers are more likely reflect off these surfaces. Fiber laser cutting machines can be used to cut brass and copper as well as other reflective materials. The machine's laser beam, as well as the beam path, can be damaged by a CO2 laser beam reflected off the material. This risk is eliminated if the beam path is used with a fiber optic cable.
Another thing to remember is that traditional methods of checking for twists and bows in the tube may take as long as five to seven seconds before cutting begins. You have to compromise accuracy for productivity with traditional touch sensing. This can be frustrating, especially in this age of fiber laser cutting. However, working with tube is much more difficult than working with sheet metal.
