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.
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"
You don't need to spend a lot of money or be very technical in order to have your own laser tube cutting. Anybody can cut like no one has ever seen, from students to engineers.
Some things are extremely obvious. The size of the laser "generator," on a fiber laser, is much smaller than that of a traditional CO2 resonanceator. The fiber laser is made up of banks of diodes. Each module can hold 600 to 1,500W. Multiple modules can be spliced together in order to create the final powered-resonator. This module is typically about the same size and shape as a small filing box. Fiber-optic cable channels the light generated and amplifies it. The light is still the same quality and power when it exits the fibre-optic conduit. It is then adjusted for the type and focus of the material to be cut.
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.
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.
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.
