Tube Lasers Cutting Systems Hawaii

The subject of material loading and unloading automation is well established in sheet laser cutting with a multitude of solutions and complexity. In contrast, tube laser cutting systems equipped with vertical storage systems, for tubes and section bars, capable of handling bars automatically and allowing for unmanned production changes have only been available for a few years.

The wavelength of fiber lasers is 0.06 microns. This difference is 10 times smaller than the wavelength of CO2 lasers. A fiber laser beam produces a wavelength of 1.06 microns, which is 10 percent smaller than that of a CO2 light source. However, a CO2 light source is much more likely be absorbed by reflective materials. Fiber laser cutting machines have the ability to cut brass, copper, or other reflective materials. Note that CO2 laser light that reflects off the material could not only damage the machine's optical system, but also the entire beam pathway. This risk is eliminated when the beam path is made of fiber-optic cable.

This is the most effective solution to any tube section. Tubes upto O6" (152.4 mm).2D cutterCO2 or fibre laser

Most metal fabricators have a strong understanding of what fiber laser cutting technology has done for flat sheet processing, but just what has the fiber laser done for tube cutting? Quite a bit, actually.

The worthwhile laser tube cutting machine: the TruLaser Tube 3000 fiber is economical even when it is not being fully utilized. Thanks to its reliability and easy of operation, it is perfect for first-time users or as a supplementary machine.

The wavelength of fiber lasers is 1.06 microns. This is 10% less than the wavelength of a CO2 laser beam. The fiber laser emits a beam with a shorter wavelength that is more easily absorbed and reflected by reflective materials than a CO2 laser. Fiber laser cutting machines are able to cut brass, copper and other reflective materials. Be aware that the CO2 laser beam can damage not only the machine's lens but also the entire beam path. This risk is eliminated by using a fiber-optic cables for the beam path.

Remember that checking for bends or bows in the tube using traditional methods can take five to seven seconds before cutting starts. The traditional method of touch sensing is not as accurate as it was. This means you must compromise productivity in order to achieve accuracy. Even though it may seem like a lifetime in the age fiber laser cutting technology, tube work isn't as easy as sheet metal.

You should also consider the shortcase-sized modules of the fiber laser. They provide redundancy. The resonator will not shut down completely if one of the modules has a problem. The fiber laser works in redundant mode so that the other modules can provide more power temporarily to sustain the down module's needs until they can be repaired. Field repairs are possible, however. Sometimes the fiber laser can produce less power while repairs are being made. An issue with a CO2 Resonator will cause the entire system to fail.
