Metal fabricators are well-versed in the basics of fiber laser cutting technology for flat sheet processing. But what about tube cutting? It's quite a lot.
Fiber lasers have high cutting speeds for thin material. These fiber lasers require minimal maintenance and have low power consumption. These laser cutting technologies have special properties, which allow them to be used in steel, stainless, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials, like copper, brass, and bronze.
StarCut Tube is a tube-cutting laser machine that offers precision up to +/- 5um.
It's a third of a full 20-foot (240") tube, making it convenient to create three pieces of stock. This allows you to still purchase full tube lengths without wasting any material
Coherent StarCut Tube "hybrid", version has the greatest flexibility for cutting various medical devices in metals or other plastics from tubes or flat stock. This laser machine is a turnkey solution that combines two lasers in one compact housing.
ExactCut 430 is a precision laser cutting system for automated processing of thin and thick metals and alloys, brittle materials like sapphire, PCD, and ceramics.
Let's see below the advantages of using an Automatic Tube and Section Bar Storage System with a Lasertube Cutting System.
A CO2 laser requires more power to produce than a fiber laser. This makes it less efficient and has lower wall plug efficiency. You will also need to use more power for the large CO2 laser chillers. Because the fiber laser-resonator's wall-plug efficiency is greater than 40 percent, it uses less power as well as less of your in high-demand flooring space.
No downtime or extended lead time: Because we combine a tube machine and a laser, each stage of your project can be completed in one location. We can offer full-service support for all your needs.
A laser cutting machine that cuts sheet metal can change out a sheet in seconds. The same can be done on a laser tube cutting machine, but it’s a whole different story as to how it’s done.
Lasertube lets you customize part designs to meet the needs of your customers.
Parts are held in place with automatic tabbing, done in FabCreator and a set o jaws on each drive chuck or idler chuck.
Our tube laser manufacturing capabilities allow Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. to offer our customers the opportunity to replace manual processes and improve the cutting process.
StarFeed is an automated unloader/loader for StarCut Tube laser cutters. It is available in two sizes: S and L. These combination options allow fully automated dry and wet cutting of tubes up to 20 mm diameter. StarFeed L can store up to 48 tubes, and it even supports the processing of oval tubes. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. This results in a significant increase in productivity.
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.
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.
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.
