Tube Laser Cutting Systems Knoxville

CO2 lasers are characterized by their high cutting quality.Their primary area of application lies in the medium to high range of materialthicknesses. The cutting edges achieved with the laser beam excel throughburr-free cutting and low scoring. This means that the cut parts can beprocessed further without reworking.

Because of the amount of power required to create a CO2 laser, it is less efficient and has a much lower wall plug efficiency when compared to a fiber laser. It follows that the large chillers required for the CO2 lasers need more overall power too. Given the fiber laser resonator’s wall plug efficiency of more than 40 percent, you are not only using less power, but also less of your in-high-demand floor space.

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.

StarCut Tube SL, a turnkey machine, includes an fs laser. It is perfect for laser cutting complex shapes like thrombectomy stent retrievers.

ExactCut 430, a laser cutting machine for precision processing of thin and large metals and all alloys, brittle material like sapphire or PCD, is available.

Another thing to consider is the modular design of the fiber laser. These modules are small enough to be carried in a briefcase and allow for redundancy. The resonator does not completely shut off if one module fails. The fiber laser acts redundantly in that it can produce more power temporarily in order to support the damaged module until repairs can take place. (This can, by the way can be done on the field). Other times, the fiber-resonator can continue producing lower power until repairs can take place. A CO2 resonator issue can lead to the complete resonator being down.

There are two options for laser cutting technology: 2D or 3-D. You can customize and cut parts in many different shapes. For example, you can make tubes that have round, square and rectangular shapes. Also, you can cut profiles with various open cross-sections like H, L, T and Ucross-sections. 3D technology can also be used to make bevel cuts as high as 45degrees. This versatility makes it possible to eliminate the need for expensive milling, drilling and punching as well as sawing.

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.
