With laser generating technology, sheet laser cutting machines can now be sold with power outputs up to 12kW. A laser tube-cutting machine usually has a power consumption of 5 kW. Any more power would cause the tube to be cut on both sides simultaneously.

Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.'s tube-laser-cutting systems incorporate intelligent machine functions, such as intelligent monitoring, setup, cutting, and other functions. These automated functions make it easier to operate and increase machine efficiency. These lasers are versatile and can be used in many industries.

Fiber lasers have a wavelength of 1.06 microns, which is 10 percent smaller than that of a CO2 laser beam. With its much smaller wavelength, the fiber laser produces a beam that is much more easily absorbed by the reflective material; a CO2 laser is much more likely to reflect off the surface of these materials. Because of this, fiber laser cutting machines can cut brass, copper, and other reflective materials. It should be noted that a CO2 laser beam that reflects off the material can not only damage the machine’s cutting lens, but also the entire beam path. Using a fiber-optic cable for the beam path removes this risk.

Cutting

Profiles and tubes are widely used in all areas of engineering, from system construction to furniture manufacturing. The lasers have opened up new design possibilities. More and more designers are taking advantage the advantages of laser-cut profiles and tubes, thereby increasing their demand.

Monaco high-power Femtosecond Lasers offer exceptional edge quality in micromachining, and improves in scientific applications such three-photon Microscopy.

Remember that there is no perfect tube. They can have bows. They can have weld seams that protrude on both the interior and exterior of the tube. This material can be difficult to process consistently and quickly when there are inconsistencies from one product to the next.

At one time many thought that fiber lasers could be used only for thin materials. The CO2, with its larger wavelength, created enough kerf during the cutting of thick materials that enough space was allowed for material removal; the fiber laser couldn’t produce the same kerf or results with thicker materials. But that has been addressed in recent years with collimating technology that can produce a wider fiber laser-generated beam that creates materials separation and room for material removal in thick materials. And since the beam width is switchable, the machine can use the narrower beam to process thin materials, which allows for faster processing of different-sized materials on the same fiber laser cutting machine.

Metal fabricators understand the benefits of fiber laser cutting technology in flat sheet processing. But do they know what it can do for tube and tube cutting? You can actually find quite a bit.

Best Tube Laser Cutting Machine

How can you compensate for this? Traditionally, you will touch your face with a sensor marking the contact point. The tube is then rotated and the opposite end of the tube touched. The control will then be able to see how bent the tube looks. This allows for precise measurements and ensures that the through-holes will work properly. Keep in mind, however, that every rotation of the tube reduces the ability for very high tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
