A laser cutting machine that cuts sheet metal can change out a sheet in seconds. The same can be done on a laser tube cutting machine, but it’s a whole different story as to how it’s done.
The most productive solution for tubes of any section. Tubes up to Ø 6" (152.4 mm)2D cutCO2 or fiber laser
The CO2 resonator requires much more energy and is larger. Electricity is used to combine gases to create the laser beam. Mirrors aid in the light's intensity and prepare it for exiting the resonator. The beam must travel along a path that includes several cooled mirrors to reach the lens after it has exited the resonator. This causes the beam to lose power and quality.

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.
StarCut Tube SL combines an fs-laser to create complex metal shapes.
Be aware that there is no perfect tub. They may have bows. You may find weld seams on both the outside and the inside of the tube. When there are inconsistencies between product runs, it can be a challenge to process the material efficiently and consistently.
A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
Modern CO2 machines typically generate the laser beam in a sealed glass tube filled with gas, typically carbon dioxide. A high voltage flows through the tube, interacting with the gas particles and increasing their energy, resulting in the production of light.
