StarCut Tube's tube-cutting laser machine StarCut Tube provides the highest precision and contour cutting accuracy, at a range of +/-5um.

With Lasertube systems, you can create new applications or improve existing ones, entering new industrial sectors and increasing profit margins.

Another thing to consider is the modular design of the fiber laser. These modules are small enough to be carried in a briefcase and allow for redundancy. The resonator does not completely shut off if one module fails. The fiber laser acts redundantly in that it can produce more power temporarily in order to support the damaged module until repairs can take place. (This can, by the way can be done on the field). Other times, the fiber-resonator can continue producing lower power until repairs can take place. A CO2 resonator issue can lead to the complete resonator being down.

Secondary operations can be eliminated: A tube laser can easily cut a piece of material to the desired length, add holes or other cutout designs in one step. This eliminates the need for manual material removal. This allows you to maintain tight tolerances for more complicated fabrications. You can make parts from one continuous piece. This allows you to ensure they fit in one direction and is easy to assemble. Tube laser aluminum, carbon and stainless steel can all be tubed.

It is important to remember that traditional ways of checking for twists and bows can take up five or seven seconds, before cutting can begin. Touch sensing can only be used for precision. It can seem that this is all a lot, but it's not the same as working with sheetmetal.

What is the difference between fiber laser and CO2 laser

What is the difference between fiber laser and CO2 laser

Some things are difficult to see until you have a closer look at the fiber laser operating. Fiber lasers have a larger power density than CO2 laser beams because their beam diameter is typically one-third that of CO2 beams. This allows fiber to cut more quickly and also allows it pierce better. This allows the fiber to cut intricate shapes with sharp edges and leaves a smaller beam size. Imagine that a fiber can cut the company logo from a tube with spacing of 0.035 in between its letters; a CO2 laser is incapable of doing this.

No need for multiple vendors and orders to be coordinated. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the ability to manage everything, including material procurement and past delivery.

The wavelength of fiber lasers is 1.06 microns. This is 10% less than the wavelength of a CO2 laser beam. The fiber laser emits a beam with a shorter wavelength that is more easily absorbed and reflected by reflective materials than a CO2 laser. Fiber laser cutting machines are able to cut brass, copper and other reflective materials. Be aware that the CO2 laser beam can damage not only the machine's lens but also the entire beam path. This risk is eliminated by using a fiber-optic cables for the beam path.

Tube Laser Technology

Fiber lasers achieve high cutting speeds in thin material thicknesses. Additionally they boast low power consumption while requiring little maintenance.The special properties of this laser cutting technology enable applications insteel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, such as copper andbrass.

With a rock-solid cutting platform (the SL uses a mineral cast base) these machines offer the ultimate in precision, with contour cutting accuracies better than +/- 5 µm. A choice of fiber laser or the latest Monaco USP laser enables fine cutting of any polymer or metal.

3d-printed

It doesn't take much to make your in-house laser tube cutters easy or cost-prohibitive. Everyone can cut like a pro, even engineers.

A tube extension is available to load tube stock upto 80", or 6’8". It is important to note that the maximum part sizes remain at 52".

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
