The application of processed tubes and profiles is manifold. Whether in the automotive industry, furniture design, architecture, petrochemical industry or commercial vehicle construction. In many industries, the laser-assisted processing of tubes and profiles offers an almost unlimited manufacturing spectrum for components and unique design possibilities.
StarCut Tube Laser SL is the best laser cutting system for complex medical devices, such as stents and aortic valve replacements.
The CO2 Resonator is more powerful and uses more energy. This is because electricity is used to mix gases to make the laser beam. Mirrors assist the light in increasing its intensity, which prepares it to exit the resonance. Once the beam has left the resonator it must travel through several cooled reflections before reaching the lens. This is what causes the laser beam to lose its power and quality.
In-house laser tube cutting does not have to be difficult or costly. Everybody, from engineers to students, can cut like never before
This is the most efficient solution for tubes of any length. Tubes up to O6" (152.4mm)2D cutCO2 and fiber laser
There is a cutting technology that suits every need. Users have two options: CO2 laser cuttingsystems or fiber laser cutting systems, depending on the material to be cut and the level of productivity desired.
Laser generating technology is now available for sheet laser cutting machines that can deliver up to 12 kW power. Laser tube cutting machines typically have a maximum power output of 5 kW, as any additional power would also cut through the opposite end of the tube.
Laser tube cutting is our specialty. We provide the perfect solutions. You can learn more about laser tube cutting and how they can simplify the process while increasing the production of parts.
Parts are held in place with automatic tabbing, done in FabCreator and a set o jaws on each drive chuck or idler chuck.
Reduce secondary operations: A tube-laser can cut a piece to size and add holes and other cutouts in one step. It eliminates the need to perform secondary actions or manually remove material. It is possible to keep tight tolerances even on complex fabrications. Parts can be made from one continuous piece. They are easy to put together and fit perfectly. We can also tube laser carbon, stainless steel, and aluminum.
Most metal fabricators have a strong understanding of what fiber laser cutting technology has done for flat sheet processing, but just what has the fiber laser done for tube cutting? Quite a bit, actually.
Some things are obvious. A fiber laser has a smaller laser "generator" than a CO2-resonator. Actually, the fiber laser is made by banks of diodes which are combined in a small module. These modules can have a power range from 600 to 1,500 W. To create the final powered resonance, multiple modules are spliced together. This is usually the same size as a small filing cupboard. The fiber-optic cables channel the light and amplify it. Fiber-optic cables transmit the same light as when they were generated, with no loss of power and quality. The fiber-optic cable is then adjusted and focused to cut the appropriate material.
Many applications are possible for processed tubes or profiles. There are many applications for processed tubes and profiles, whether in the automotive, furniture, architecture, petrochemical, or commercial vehicle building. Many industries have embraced laser-assisted manufacturing of tubes and profiles. This allows for a virtually unlimited range of components and unmatched design possibilities.

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.
