Most metal fabricators are familiar with the capabilities of fiber laser technology to cut flat sheets. But what can it do for tube-cutting? A lot, actually.
Some things are quite noticeable. The laser “generator” on a fiber laser is much smaller when compared to a traditional CO2 resonator. In fact, the fiber laser is created by banks of diodes that are put together in a briefcase-size module that can range in power from 600 to 1,500 watts. Multiple modules are spliced together to create the final powered resonator, which is typically the size of a small filing cabinet. The light generated is channeled and amplified through fiber-optic cable. When the light exits the fiber-optic cable, it is the same that is was upon being generated with no loss of power or quality. It is then adjusted and focused for the type of material to be cut.
Cambus Medical uses Coherent StarCut Tube to cut tubes and Select Laser Welders in order to build business success.
You have the option of choosing between 2D and 3-D laser cutting technology. This allows you to make precise and customized cuts in a variety of parts, including tubes with rectangular, square, or rectangular shapes. There is also the possibility to cut profiles with diverse cross-sections (for instance, H, U, T, or Ucross sections). 3D technology not only allows straight cutting edges but also permits bevel cuts up to 45 degrees. This versatility means that you don't need to spend a lot of money on milling. Drilling. Punching. Sawing.
In the manufacture of fitness equipment, design, durability and usability are key construction principles.

These functions automate machine operation, increasing efficiency and ease of use. These machines are ideal for many industries thanks to their tube and pipe lasers.
There is no need to coordinate multiple orders or vendors. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. handles everything, from material procurement to past deliveries.
The weld seam is another consideration when tube cutting. This material is roll-formed, then welded together. Two points are usually required to be addressed.
Fiber lasers are virtually maintenance-free, demonstrate superior wall plug efficiency when compared to traditional CO2 laser cutting machines, can cut reflective materials, and offer precise cutting. They also are faster than CO2 machines when cutting certain metal thicknesses. However, speed is relative when it comes to cutting tube. The real time savings comes from speeding up the processing time of the tube and producing finished parts.
The laser beam is the most important component of the laser cutter; it determines wavelength and power, and thus the material that it can cut or engrave. Solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and CO2 lasers are the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting.
CO2 laser cutters are the most commonly used types of laser cutters because they are low power, relatively inexpensive, efficient, and can cut through and raster a wide range of materials.
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.
