Market Forces
Tubes and profiles are used everywhere – from mechanical engineering and system construction all the way to the furniture industry. Lasers have opened up new design possibilities, so more and more designers are taking advantage of the benefits of laser-cut tubes and profiles thereby considerably increasing demand. Discover all-round solutions for the world of laser tube cutting and find out more about the TruLaser Tube machines.
There is no downtime, extended lead times or downtime: We combine a tube mill with a tube laser in one facility so that we can get your project through each stage without any delays or gaps. We can provide full service for your project.
ExactCut 430 can be used to automate the automated processing of thick and thin metals and alloys as well as brittle materials, such as sapphire and PCD.
StarFeed is an automated unloader/loader for StarCut Tube laser cutters. It is available in two sizes: S and L. These combination options allow fully automated dry and wet cutting of tubes up to 20 mm diameter. StarFeed L can store up to 48 tubes, and it even supports the processing of oval tubes. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. This results in a significant increase in productivity.
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube and StarFiber laser-powered cutting machines helped NPX Medical gain a competitive edge in stent manufacturing and more.
We offer a tube extension for loading tube stock up to 80", or 6'8". Note that the maximum part size remains 52"
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.
Be aware that there is no perfect tub. They may have bows. You may find weld seams on both the outside and the inside of the tube. When there are inconsistencies between product runs, it can be a challenge to process the material efficiently and consistently.
Another thing to consider is the modular design of the fiber laser. These modules are small enough to be carried in a briefcase and allow for redundancy. The resonator does not completely shut off if one module fails. The fiber laser acts redundantly in that it can produce more power temporarily in order to support the damaged module until repairs can take place. (This can, by the way can be done on the field). Other times, the fiber-resonator can continue producing lower power until repairs can take place. A CO2 resonator issue can lead to the complete resonator being down.
Micrometric Ltd uses its versatile Coherent StarCut tubes laser cutting machine in order to produce speedy and precise medical and aerospace products.
Monaco high-power, femtosecond-lasers offer superior edge quality for micromachining and improved scientific applications such as three-photon microscopy.
Find the exact solution for your laser fabrication requirements while maintaining process quality and efficiency to both metal and other materials.
Tubes are essential building blocks, whether it's the production of equipment for gyms or small, multifunctional exercise machines that can be used in domestic spaces. Tube processing technologies such as laser cutting and bending are widely used in this industry.
Lasertube systems make it possible to create new applications or enhance existing ones. You can also enter new industries, increasing profits margins, and even entering new sectors.
