This is the simplest way to get into tube laser cutting. Tubes up to O 4,72 inches (120 mm).2D cutFiber laser
ExactCut 430 can be used to automate the automated processing of thick and thin metals and alloys as well as brittle materials, such as sapphire and PCD.
Let's now look at the benefits associated with an automatic tube and section-bar storage system combined with a Lasertube Cutting system.
You might have noticed that cutting speed has not been discussed yet. While it is possible for a tube to be cut at up to 500 inches per min, that is not always possible. Laser tube cutting requires that you focus on the time it takes to load a tube and index it in order to cut. Laser tube cutters are slow and take a lot of time to process parts.
The weld seam is another consideration when tube cutting. This material is roll-formed, then welded together. Two points are usually required to be addressed.
Let's look below at the advantages of using an automatic tube and section bar storage system with a Lasertube cutting system.
A laser tube cutter machine does not come with standard material towers. Bundle loaders are the most efficient option for tube material handling. They feed one tube from each bundle to the tube laser through a singularizing device. This type of feeding mechanism is not suitable for open profiles such as channels or angles, since they are interlocked while inside a bundle and can't be released easily. Step loaders are used for open profiles. They sequence each section into the machine one at a while maintaining the correct orientation.
The tube's inherent nature means that a laser generator is not required. While flat sheet laser cutting machines are now available with laser generators of up to 12 kW, tube-cutting machines typically require a maximum power of 5 kW. Tubes require you to be aware of the opposite side when cutting. A more powerful laser would cut through the tube's other side. (Officially, the tube laser can be used to process a beam or channel.
StarFiber Series includes compact fiber lasers and optional focusing heads to allow for cutting or laser welding. SmartWeld(tm), a technology that allows for fine and large welds, can also be used.

Whatever your customers' requests, with Lasertube you can recommend improvements to part design from the extensive library of connectionsfor assembling without screws or welds.
The tube cutting laser machine StarCut Tube offers the ultimate precision, with contour cutting accuracies better than +/- 5µm.
Fiber lasers achieve high cutting speeds in thin material thicknesses. Additionally they boast low power consumption while requiring little maintenance.The special properties of this laser cutting technology enable applications insteel, stainless steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metals, such as copper andbrass.
Fiber lasers cut in thin material with fast speeds. They also require little maintenance and are low in power consumption. This laser cutting technology's special properties allow applications in steel and stainless steel as well aluminum and non-ferrous metallics like copper or brass.
A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
from 3 months to 3 years
Glass CO2 laser tubes all degrade over time, with lifespans ranging from 3 months to 3 years. With use, the CO2 inside the tube degrades into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Overdriving the tube only accelerates this process and shortens its working life.
