Tube Lasers Cutting Systems Wood
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.
A tube extension is available to load tube stock upto 80", or 6’8". It is important to note that the maximum part sizes remain at 52".
The ability to choose between 2D and 3D laser cutting technology opensup the possibility of individually customized and precise cutting of parts in avery wide variety: tubes with round, square, and rectangular shapes as well asprofiles with diverse open cross-sections (for example H, L, T, and Ucross-sections). In addition tostraight cutting edges, the 3D technology also enables bevel cuts up to 45degrees. This versatility eliminates the need for costlymilling, drilling, punching, or sawing processes.
Parts can be held with automatic tabbering (in FabCreator), as well as a set of jaws at the drive chuck, and the idler-chuck.
Lasertube systems can be used to develop new applications and improve existing ones. This allows you to enter new industrial sectors, increasing profits, and allowing for new opportunities.
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.

A tube is very flexible and does not require a high-powered laser. Laser generators with a power output of 12 kW are now possible for flat sheet cutting machines. Tube laser cutters require a power consumption of only 5 kW. To cut a tube you must always look at the opposite end of the tube. A stronger laser would simply blow through your tube while cutting. (Officially, if the laser is processing a beam and a channel on the tube's laser, there are no need to worry about any other side.
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.
A laser tube cutting machine doesn't come with any standard material towers. Bundle loading is the best option for handling tube material. It feeds one tube at a given time from the bundle into a tube laser using a singularizing process. This type cannot be used with open profiles (e.g. channels and angles), because they interlock inside the bundles and don’t move freely. Step loaders, which are used for open profile profiles, sequence one section at time into the machine while maintaining the correct orientation.
Tubes are the basic building blocks of any equipment, no matter how small or multifunctional they may be for home use. This is why tubes are used so extensively in this sector, including laser cutting and bending.

Fiber lasers can cut thin materials at high speeds. They are also very energy-efficient and require little maintenance. This laser cutting technology has special properties that allow for applications in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, as well as non-ferrous metals like copper and brass.
