The CO2 Resonator is more powerful and uses more energy. This is because electricity is used to mix gases to make the laser beam. Mirrors assist the light in increasing its intensity, which prepares it to exit the resonance. Once the beam has left the resonator it must travel through several cooled reflections before reaching the lens. This is what causes the laser beam to lose its power and quality.

Tube Laser Technology

Even for XXL tubing, it is built for maximum productivity. This machine has a solid-state laser that can be used in a variety of ways to produce tubes and profiles from varying materials and wall thicknesses.

Fiber lasers have a wavelength of 1.06 microns, which is 10 percent smaller than that of a CO2 laser beam. With its much smaller wavelength, the fiber laser produces a beam that is much more easily absorbed by the reflective material; a CO2 laser is much more likely to reflect off the surface of these materials. Because of this, fiber laser cutting machines can cut brass, copper, and other reflective materials. It should be noted that a CO2 laser beam that reflects off the material can not only damage the machine’s cutting lens, but also the entire beam path. Using a fiber-optic cable for the beam path removes this risk.

Laser Tube

Tubes are the essential building blocks whether you're making equipment for gyms or for smaller, multifunctional exercise devices for your home. This is why so many technologies for tube processing, like bending and laser-cutting, are widely used within this sector.

Fiber lasers are capable of cutting thin materials with high speeds. Fiber lasers are very efficient and low in power consumption, but require very little maintenance. Laser cutting technology is able to cut steel, stainless and aluminum as well as nonferrous metals such copper and brass.

The other factor to keep in mind is that the traditional method of checking for bows and twists in the tube can take up to five or seven seconds before cutting commences. With the traditional means of touch sensing, you have to trade productivity for accuracy. Again, in the age of fiber laser cutting, this can seem like a lifetime, but working with tube is not as simple as working with sheet metal.

We haven't talked about cutting speed, you may have noticed. You can cut up to 500 inches per hour on a tube but it's not always possible. The main focus of laser tube cutting is how long it takes to load the tube, index it so that it's in the right spot for cutting, then pierce and slice it. Laser tube cutting machines have a slower cutting speed than they do with parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
