This is a third of the full 20-foot (240") length of a tube. It makes it easy to make three stock pieces. You can still buy full length tubes without having to waste any material
Tube extensions are available for loading tube stock to the maximum length of 80", or 6'8". The maximum part size is 52".
North America's premier magazine for the metal-forming and fabricating industries, The FABRICATOR, is THE FABRICATOR. The magazine contains news, technical articles, case histories, and other information that will help fabricators perform their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970, The FABRICATOR serves the industry.
Due to the high power needed to create a CO2 Laser, it is less efficient than a fiber-laser. Also, the large chillers that are required to make CO2 lasers work require more power. You are using less power due to the fiber laser's wall plug efficiency exceeding 40 percent. This means that you also use less of your floor space in high-demand areas.
We offer a tube extension for loading tube stock up to 80", or 6'8". Note that the maximum part size remains 52"
Laser generating technology is now available for sheet laser cutting machines that can deliver up to 12 kW power. Laser tube cutting machines typically have a maximum power output of 5 kW, as any additional power would also cut through the opposite end of the tube.
Metal fabricators understand the benefits of fiber laser cutting technology in flat sheet processing. But do they know what it can do for tube and tube cutting? You can actually find quite a bit.
We have the best solutions for laser tube cutting. Learn how lasers can reduce entire processes and increase the number of parts that you can make.
Machine manufacturers have begun using cameras to perform tube inspections. They can reduce the time it takes to inspect quality tubes and also reduce the amount of rotations needed. This allows for both productivity and accuracy to be maintained.
Monaco high power femtosecond lasers provide excellent edge quality for micromachining. They also offer improvements in scientific application like three-photon microscopicscopy.
Parts are held with automatic tabbing (done in FabCreator), and a set of jaws on the drive chuck and the idler chuck
All types, any shapes: This three dimensional cutting machine can cut carbon steel, aluminum, red metals, and stainless steel in any round, square or rectangular shape.
How do you compensate for that? Traditionally, you are going to come down and touch the face with a sensor that marks the contact point. The tube is then rotated, and the opposite side of the tube is touched. That gives the control an idea of just how bowed the tube is. This method is accurate and can ensure those through-holes work out for the application. But keep in mind that each time a rotation of the tube occurs, the ability to deliver very high tolerances is reduced.
This machine can be used for processing XXL-sized tubes. This machine, which is a solid state laser, can be used in many ways to make tubes and profiles.
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.
