Tube Lasers Cutting Systems 3d Printing
North America's top magazine for the metal forming/fabricating industry is The FABRICATOR. The magazine offers news, technical information, and case histories to assist fabricators in doing their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970 the FABRICATOR served the industry.
Whatever your customers' requests, with Lasertube you can recommend improvements to part design from the extensive library of connectionsfor assembling without screws or welds.
We offer you the ideal solutions for the world of laser tube cutting. Find out here how lasers can eliminate entire process steps while also increasing the range of parts you can produce.
Save time and reduce number of components Metal structures and tubular frames can be made faster and more precisely. Completion of your part is possible in just one programming step, one machining step, or on one system.
The simplest way to enter the tube laser cutting world. Tubes up to Ø 4,72" (120 mm)2D cutFiber laser
Get a peek into our StarCut Tube manufacturing area and lab to learn about the multi-axis CNC machines that can be used for flat and tube production, as well as medical devices such stent shafts, hypotubes and PTCA devices.
Find out how the Coherent StarCut Tube (and StarFiber laser powered cutting machines) helped NPX Medical get a competitive edge in stent manufacturing.
Tubes are very simple and do not require a powerful laser. Tube laser cutting machines require only 5 kW power, whereas flat sheet laser cutters can be powered by laser generators up to 12 kW. When cutting a tube, it is important to always think about the other side. A stronger laser would simply blow through the tube on the opposite side during cutting. You don't need to worry about the other side if you're processing a beam of a channel or a channel using the tube laser.
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.
We haven't talked about cutting speed, you may have noticed. You can cut up to 500 inches per hour on a tube but it's not always possible. The main focus of laser tube cutting is how long it takes to load the tube, index it so that it's in the right spot for cutting, then pierce and slice it. Laser tube cutting machines have a slower cutting speed than they do with parts.
A laser cutter that cuts sheet metal can transform a sheet of paper in seconds. You can also do the same with a laser tube cutter machine but it is a completely different story about how it is done.
Laser cutting machines can cut sheets of metal in seconds. It's possible to do the exact same thing with a laser tube-cutting machine, but that's another story.
