Fiber solutions for large diameter tubes or profiles Tubes up O14 (355mm)3D-cutting modeFiber laser
The application of processed tubes and profiles is manifold. Whether in the automotive industry, furniture design, architecture, petrochemical industry or commercial vehicle construction. In many industries, the laser-assisted processing of tubes and profiles offers an almost unlimited manufacturing spectrum for components and unique design possibilities.
Lasertube systems are 2D and 3-D laser cutting systems that can be used to cut tubes, bars, and profiles. They come in a range of sizes, including 12 mm to 661 mm (.5"-.24") in diameter, and up to 18m (60' in length).
StarCut Tube L 600 comes with a fiber or USP laser. StarCut Tube SL, a compact model that has the smallest footprint available on the market, is the StarCut Tube SL.
A job shop is only as diverse as the parts it produces. The same applies to those who operate a tube laser. Parts of different sizes can be found in one tube. Laser-cut parts as small as 2 inches must be unloaded by the machine. Each one can be as long as 15 feet. You must also be able unload the parts without damaging them. This can be difficult with soft metals like aluminum.
TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber is an affordable laser tube cutting machine. It's easy to use and reliable, making it ideal for new users as well as those who need a second machine.
Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s tube laser-cutting systems integrate intelligent machine functions which include intelligent monitoring, setup and cutting functions. These automated functions improve ease of operation and machine efficiency. The extensive range of capabilities of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc.’s tube and pipe lasers makes these machines ideal for many industries and a variety of applications.
This is the tube laser cutting solution that offers the most versatility. Tubes up to O9.45" (240mm)3D Cutting modeCO2 or Fiber Laser
Monaco high-power femtosecond lasers deliver superior edge quality in micromachining and improvements in scientific applications like three-photon microscopy.
Let's examine the benefits of using an automated tube storage system and section bar storage system in conjunction with a Lasertube-cutting system.
Motion Dynamics, a world-class manufacturer of neurological parts, includes steerable catheters or "pullwire" assemblies. Motion Dynamics also makes use of StarCut Tubes for precision cutting key components.
High cutting performance is a hallmark of CO2 lasers. They are most useful in medium-to-high material thicknesses. Laser beam cutting edges are low-scoring and throughburr-free. The laser beam can also be used to cut additional parts without the need for rework.
Parts are held using automatic tabbing in FabCreator, as well as a set on jaws on the idler chuck and drive chuck.
Tubes are very simple and do not require a powerful laser. Tube laser cutting machines require only 5 kW power, whereas flat sheet laser cutters can be powered by laser generators up to 12 kW. When cutting a tube, it is important to always think about the other side. A stronger laser would simply blow through the tube on the opposite side during cutting. You don't need to worry about the other side if you're processing a beam of a channel or a channel using the tube laser.
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.
