Secondary operations are eliminated: A tube Laser can cut a length of piece, add holes and cutout other designs in one operation. It also eliminates the need for additional actions like manual material removal. For more complex fabrications, you can maintain tight tolerances. Parts can easily be manufactured from one continuous raw material. Tube laser aluminum, stainless-steel and carbon can be made.
Lasertube systems are our 2D and 3D laser cutting systems for tubes, bars and profiles, from 12 mm to 610 mm (.5” to 24") in diameter and up to 18 m (60') in length.
With diameters ranging from 10 to 324 millimeters and pipe and profile lengths up to 12.5 meters, our system solutions offer the largest available selection for the flexible production of small and large series.
StarCut Tube, the laser cutting system StarCut Tube, SL offers high precision, superior reliability and high performance when cutting complex medical device such as stents or aortic replacements.
When making fitness equipment, the most important components are durability, usability, compactness, and design.
Check out our StarCut Tube laboratory and production area to see more about these fully-automated multi-axis CNC machine for tubes and flat materials.
There are two options for laser cutting technology: 2D or 3-D. You can customize and cut parts in many different shapes. For example, you can make tubes that have round, square and rectangular shapes. Also, you can cut profiles with various open cross-sections like H, L, T and Ucross-sections. 3D technology can also be used to make bevel cuts as high as 45degrees. This versatility makes it possible to eliminate the need for expensive milling, drilling and punching as well as sawing.
Find laser systems for electronics production that can perform high-precision, fast cutting, welding, marking and ablation of metals or plastics.
Monaco high-power, femtosecond-lasers offer superior edge quality for micromachining and improved scientific applications such as three-photon microscopy.
To close the time gap when it comes to tube checks, some machinery manufacturers are using cameras for these checks. They reduce the quality check to about half a second and also reduce the number of rotations that are required. This allows the machine to retain productivity as well as accuracy.
You can find the right technology to meet your needs. You have the option of either CO2 laser or fiber laser cutting systems depending on what materials you are working with and how much productivity and quality you desire.
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.
Many people believed that fiber lasers could only cut thin materials. The CO2, due to its longer wavelength created enough kerf when cutting thick materials. Fiber lasers couldn't produce the same result with thicker material. Recent developments have addressed this problem with collimating technologies that produce a larger fiber laser-generated beam which creates materials separation. Switchable beam width allows the machine to use the narrower beam for processing thin materials. This allows the machine to process multiple-sized materials more quickly on one fiber laser cutting machine.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect tube. They have bows. Weld seams can protrude not only on the exterior but also the interior of the tube. It’s a real challenge to process this material consistently and rapidly when such inconsistencies exist from one product run to another.
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.
