Tube Laser Cutting Systems Kickstarter

Traditional tube features are time-consuming. FabLight makes it quick and easy to create exactly the look you desire.

This machine can be used for processing XXL-sized tubes. This machine, which is a solid state laser, can be used in many ways to make tubes and profiles.

Some things are quite noticeable. The laser “generator” on a fiber laser is much smaller when compared to a traditional CO2 resonator. In fact, the fiber laser is created by banks of diodes that are put together in a briefcase-size module that can range in power from 600 to 1,500 watts. Multiple modules are spliced together to create the final powered resonator, which is typically the size of a small filing cabinet. The light generated is channeled and amplified through fiber-optic cable. When the light exits the fiber-optic cable, it is the same that is was upon being generated with no loss of power or quality. It is then adjusted and focused for the type of material to be cut.

Metal fabricators know a lot about what flat sheet processing has involved with fiber laser cutting technology. But, what does the fiber laser do for tube cutting? A lot actually.

TruLaser Tube 3000 Fiber is a worthwhile laser tube cutter. It is affordable even when not in use. It is ideal for beginners or as an additional machine due to its reliability.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can help you develop new designs that improve aesthetics, increase functionality, and bring new products to market quicker.

At one time many thought that fiber lasers could be used only for thin materials. The CO2, with its larger wavelength, created enough kerf during the cutting of thick materials that enough space was allowed for material removal; the fiber laser couldn’t produce the same kerf or results with thicker materials. But that has been addressed in recent years with collimating technology that can produce a wider fiber laser-generated beam that creates materials separation and room for material removal in thick materials. And since the beam width is switchable, the machine can use the narrower beam to process thin materials, which allows for faster processing of different-sized materials on the same fiber laser cutting machine.

Some things are difficult to see until you have a closer look at the fiber laser operating. Fiber lasers have a larger power density than CO2 laser beams because their beam diameter is typically one-third that of CO2 beams. This allows fiber to cut more quickly and also allows it pierce better. This allows the fiber to cut intricate shapes with sharp edges and leaves a smaller beam size. Imagine that a fiber can cut the company logo from a tube with spacing of 0.035 in between its letters; a CO2 laser is incapable of doing this.
