Tube Laser Cutting Systems How It Works

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.

Let's examine the benefits of using an automated tube storage system and section bar storage system in conjunction with a Lasertube-cutting system.

NIT shows how a Coherent laser cutter machine can be used for vertical manufacturing of Nitinol or other metal components. This machine has outstanding precision and edge-quality.

Fiber lasers cut in thin material with fast speeds. They also require little maintenance and are low in power consumption. This laser cutting technology's special properties allow applications in steel and stainless steel as well aluminum and non-ferrous metallics like copper or brass.

To close the time gap when it comes to tube checks, some machinery manufacturers are using cameras for these checks. They reduce the quality check to about half a second and also reduce the number of rotations that are required. This allows the machine to retain productivity as well as accuracy.

Their high cutting efficiency is what distinguishes CO2 lasers. Their main area of use is in the medium to large range of materialthicknesses. Laser beam cutting edges excel in throughburr-free and low scoring. This means that cut parts can be further processed without the need to rework.

Traditional tube features can take a lot of time. FabLight makes it simple to have exactly what you want, and how you design it in just minutes.

StarCut Tube SL consists of a complete turnkey machine. It includes an fsl-laser. This makes it ideal for laser cutting complex metal forms such as thrombectomy stent retrievers.
