Tubes and profiles can be found everywhere, in mechanical engineering and system building as well as the furniture industry. Because lasers offer new design possibilities, more and more designers are taking full advantage of the laser-cut profile and tube benefits. This is a significant increase in demand. Find out all about TruLaser Tube machines and the many solutions available in laser tube cutting.
StarCut Tube laser tube cutter offers unsurpassed precision. It can cut contours up to +/-5um.
A job shop is only as diverse as the parts it produces. The same applies to those who operate a tube laser. Parts of different sizes can be found in one tube. Laser-cut parts as small as 2 inches must be unloaded by the machine. Each one can be as long as 15 feet. You must also be able unload the parts without damaging them. This can be difficult with soft metals like aluminum.
Machine manufacturers have begun using cameras to perform tube inspections. They can reduce the time it takes to inspect quality tubes and also reduce the amount of rotations needed. This allows for both productivity and accuracy to be maintained.
Your in-house laser tube cutting doesn't need to be expensive or complicated anymore. Anyone from students to engineers can cut like never before
Tube extensions are available for loading tube stock to the maximum length of 80", or 6'8". The maximum part size is 52".
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.
We offer a tube extension for loading tube stock up to 80", or 6'8". Note that the maximum part size remains 52"
Micrometric Ltd uses the Coherent StarCut Tub laser cutting machine to provide speed and precision in medical and aerospace production.
Lasertube can help you make improvements to parts based on your customers' needs.
All types and all shapes: This 3-dimensional cutting machine cuts carbon, aluminum, stainless, and red metals. It is available in round, rectangular, irregular and square shapes.
These machines feature a rock solid cutting platform (the SL uses a metal cast base), and contour cutting accuracy greater than +/-5 um. Fine cutting of any metal or plastic is possible with the choice of a fiber laser or a Monaco USP Laser.
Processing tubes and profiles can be used in many different ways. You can use them in many industries, including the automotive industry, furniture design and architecture, as well as commercial vehicle construction. Laser-assisted processing of profiles and tubes offers many options for unique design and a manufacturing range that is almost limitless.
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.
Maximum material cutting thicknesses by 1000W fiber laser cutting machine: Carbon steel has a maximum thickness of 10mm; stainless steel has a maximum thickness of 5mm; aluminum plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm; and copper plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm.
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 tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.
