Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect tube. They have bows. Weld seams can protrude not only on the exterior but also the interior of the tube. It’s a real challenge to process this material consistently and rapidly when such inconsistencies exist from one product run to another.
Motion Dynamics is a leader in the manufacture of neuro-sub-assemblies. This includes steerable catheters, "pull-wire" assemblies and other neurological components. We use our StarCut Tube machines to precisely cut key components.
The fiber laser's small modules, which are compact and easily transportable, allow for redundancy. The resonator won't completely shut down if one module experiences a problem. In order to provide power for the down module, the fiber laser can temporarily produce more power until it is repaired. This can, of course, be done in the field. Sometimes, the fiber resonator will continue to produce reduced power until repairs are made. If a CO2 reactor has an issue, it can cause the whole resonator to go down.
The tube cutting laser machine StarCut Tube offers the ultimate precision, with contour cutting accuracies better than +/- 5µm.

When making fitness equipment, the most important components are durability, usability, compactness, and design.
Tubes are the basic building blocks of any equipment, no matter how small or multifunctional they may be for home use. This is why tubes are used so extensively in this sector, including laser cutting and bending.
Fiber lasers can cut thin materials at high speeds. They are also very energy-efficient and require little maintenance. This laser cutting technology has special properties that allow for applications in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, as well as non-ferrous metals like copper and brass.
Fiber lasers can be used to cut reflective materials and provide precise cutting. They are almost maintenance-free. They can also cut certain thicknesses of metal faster than CO2 lasers. But speed is only relative when cutting tube. Speeding up the process of cutting tube and producing finished products can make time savings.
You might have noticed that cutting speed has not been discussed yet. While it is possible for a tube to be cut at up to 500 inches per min, that is not always possible. Laser tube cutting requires that you focus on the time it takes to load a tube and index it in order to cut. Laser tube cutters are slow and take a lot of time to process parts.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers tube laser manufacturing capabilities that allow our customers to replace manual processes, and optimize the cutting process.
The most productive solution for tubes of any section. Tubes up to Ø 6" (152.4 mm)2D cutCO2 or fiber laser
NIT's Coherent laser cutting machine is used to vertically produce nitinol, and other metal components. It has exceptional precision and edge quality.
Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
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.
from 3 months to 3 years
Glass CO2 laser tubes all degrade over time, with lifespans ranging from 3 months to 3 years. With use, the CO2 inside the tube degrades into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Overdriving the tube only accelerates this process and shortens its working life.
