Laser systems for electronics manufacturing are fast and high-precision and can be used to cut, mark, weld, mark, or ablate metals and other materials.
Because of the amount of power required to create a CO2 laser, it is less efficient and has a much lower wall plug efficiency when compared to a fiber laser. It follows that the large chillers required for the CO2 lasers need more overall power too. Given the fiber laser resonator’s wall plug efficiency of more than 40 percent, you are not only using less power, but also less of your in-high-demand floor space.
When fabricators think of fiber laser cutting technology they may first think high-speed. This might be true. However, speed is subjective when it comes to tube-cutting. It's not the cutting speed of the tube that matters, but rather the processing time.
Lasertube makes it easy to customize parts according to the requirements of your customers.
Of course, the fiber laser doesn’t need as much attention in terms of maintenance. It doesn’t require mirror cleaning and bellows checks that a CO2 laser cutting machine needs. As long as it gets clean chiller water for cooling and the air filters are routinely replaced, the fiber laser itself is free of preventive maintenance.
The shape laser technology allows you to customize and cut-to length in one step. From raw material, finished or semi-finished parts can be produced.
This laser fabrication solution will meet all your needs. It also delivers process quality, efficiency, and precision to both metal- and non-metal fabrication.
Tubes are fundamental building blocks for any type of manufacturing, including equipment for gyms and smaller multifunctional machines for homes. This is why many tube processing technologies like laser cutting or bending are so popular in this sector.
Find the exact solution for your laser fabrication requirements while maintaining process quality and efficiency to both metal and other materials.
You will find the perfect solution for your laser fabrication needs, while still ensuring process quality and efficiency in both metal and nonmetal fabricating.
Shape laser technology allows for a complete customization and cut-to-length capabilities in just one step. Finished or semi-finished parts are produced from raw material.
Imagine you are required to place a throughhole in a tube. The tube must be centered at the correct dimension. The tube should not be bent. That's tube fabrication.
Fiber lasers don't require as much maintenance. It does not require the same attention as a CO2 laser-cutting machine in terms of mirror cleaning and bellows inspections. It doesn't require any maintenance, as long it has clean chiller water to cool off and its air filters are regularly changed.
Micrometric Ltd uses a versatile Coherent StarCuttube laser cutting machine for speed and precision in manufacturing aerospace and medical products.
Maximum material cutting thicknesses by 1000W fiber laser cutting machine: Carbon steel has a maximum thickness of 10mm; stainless steel has a maximum thickness of 5mm; aluminum plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm; and copper plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm.
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.
