Fiber lasers have wavelengths of 1.06 microns. This wavelength is 10 percent lower than the CO2 laser beam. Fiber lasers have a much shorter wavelength which makes them more able to absorb reflective material. CO2 lasers are more likely reflect off these surfaces. Fiber laser cutting machines can be used to cut brass and copper as well as other reflective materials. The machine's laser beam, as well as the beam path, can be damaged by a CO2 laser beam reflected off the material. This risk is eliminated if the beam path is used with a fiber optic cable.
Lasertube systems are a great way to improve or create new applications. They also allow you enter new industrial areas and increase your profit margins.
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 Coherent laser systems, you can achieve precision in medical device manufacturing.
NIT uses the Coherent laser to create vertical components of nitinol with extraordinary precision and edge strength.
Laser cutting technology with shape can allow for complete customization. The raw material can be used to create finished or semifinished parts.
The CO2 resonator requires much more energy and is larger. Electricity is used to combine gases to create the laser beam. Mirrors aid in the light's intensity and prepare it for exiting the resonator. The beam must travel along a path that includes several cooled mirrors to reach the lens after it has exited the resonator. This causes the beam to lose power and quality.
Remember that checking for bends or bows in the tube using traditional methods can take five to seven seconds before cutting starts. The traditional method of touch sensing is not as accurate as it was. This means you must compromise productivity in order to achieve accuracy. Even though it may seem like a lifetime in the age fiber laser cutting technology, tube work isn't as easy as sheet metal.
It is important to remember that traditional ways of checking for twists and bows can take up five or seven seconds, before cutting can begin. Touch sensing can only be used for precision. It can seem that this is all a lot, but it's not the same as working with sheetmetal.
Our system solutions allow for flexible production of small or large series with diameters from 10 to 324 millimeters, and pipe and profile lengths as high as 12.5 meters.
PowerLine C CO2 laser systems use CO2 lasers to precisely drill, cut, scribing and mark many nonmetals, such as glass, or organic materials.
These machines feature a rock solid cutting platform (the SL uses a metal cast base), and contour cutting accuracy greater than +/-5 um. Fine cutting of any metal or plastic is possible with the choice of a fiber laser or a Monaco USP Laser.
Save time and reduce number of components Metal structures and tubular frames can be made faster and more precisely. Completion of your part is possible in just one programming step, one machining step, or on one system.
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.
