Lasertubes are 2-D and 3-D laser-cutting systems for tubes, bars, and profile. Available in diameters of 12 mm to610 mm (.5"-24"), and up 18 m (60').
Monaco high-power, femtosecond-lasers offer superior edge quality for micromachining and improved scientific applications such as three-photon microscopy.
Traditional tube features can prove time-consuming. FabLight makes fabLight easy. You can get exactly what and how much you want - in minutes!
Find out how the Coherent StarCut Tube (and StarFiber laser powered cutting machines) helped NPX Medical get a competitive edge in stent manufacturing.
NIT uses the Coherent laser to create vertical components of nitinol with extraordinary precision and edge strength.
Their high cutting efficiency is what distinguishes CO2 lasers. Their main area of use is in the medium to large range of materialthicknesses. Laser beam cutting edges excel in throughburr-free and low scoring. This means that cut parts can be further processed without the need to rework.
Shape laser technology allows for a complete customization and cut-to-length capabilities in just one step. Finished or semi-finished parts are produced from raw material.
Imagine you are required to place a throughhole in a tube. The tube must be centered at the correct dimension. The tube should not be bent. That's tube fabrication.
Tube cutting also requires a weld seam. This material is rolled-formed and then welded together. These two points should be considered:
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.
Another thing to remember is that traditional methods of checking for twists and bows in the tube may take as long as five to seven seconds before cutting begins. You have to compromise accuracy for productivity with traditional touch sensing. This can be frustrating, especially in this age of fiber laser cutting. However, working with tube is much more difficult than working with sheet metal.
Every job shop has to have variety. Parts of different sizes may be obtained from the same tube. The machine must have the ability to load laser-cut parts, which can be as small at 2 inches. each other for a total length of 15 ft. It should also be able to load those parts without damaging them. This can sometimes be a problem with softer metals like aluminum.
StarCut Tube L 600 is available with a fiber laser, a USP laser or both lasers. StarCut Tube SL is a compact model with the smallest footprint in the market.
StarCut Tube L 600 has a choice of three laser options: a fiber laser or a USP. StarCut Tube SL has the smallest footprint of any model on the market.
Pipe and tubing Cutting Procedures:
Rotate the pipe cutter around. Tighten the cutter slightly and rotate it around the pipe several times. Repeat until the pipe is severed by the blade. Steel pipe can be cut with a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or steel-pipe tubing cutter.
What is the operation of a CO2 Laser? 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.
