It is one third of a 20-foot (20-24") tube. This makes it possible to make three separate stock items. This allows you to purchase full tube lengths while not wasting material.
Monaco high-power femtosecond lasers deliver superior edge quality in micromachining and improvements in scientific applications like three-photon microscopy.
You may have noticed that we haven’t discussed cutting speed yet. It is possible to cut up to 500 inches per minute on a tube, but that’s not always realistic. In laser tube cutting, the real focus should be on how long it takes to load a tube, index it so it’s in the right position for cutting, pierce and cut it, and unload the part. It’s more about part-processing time with laser tube cutting machines, not cutting speed.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the capability to produce tube lasers that can be used to replace manual processes or optimize the cutting process.
PowerLine C CO2 laser systems use CO2 lasers to precisely drill, cut, scribing and mark many nonmetals, such as glass, or organic materials.
Some machinery manufacturers use cameras to check tubes. This is done in an effort to close the time gap. Cameras reduce the time required to check quality and reduce the number rotations. This ensures that the machine can retain its productivity and accuracy.

A tube's very nature prevents the use of high-powered lasers. Flat sheet laser cutting machines can now be equipped with laser generators that are as powerful as 12kW. Tube laser cutting machines, however, only require 5kW. You must always consider the side you are cutting when you work with a tube. A stronger laser will simply cut through the tube from the opposite end. (Officially, you don't have any need to worry if you are cutting a beam or channel with the tube laser.
Motion Dynamics is a major manufacturer of neurological sub-assemblies. They include steerable catheters as well as "pull wire" assemblies. Our StarCut Tube machines are used to precision cut key components.
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.
Tube cutting also requires a weld seam. This material is rolled-formed and then welded together. These two points should be considered:
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. works closely with you to create a program that meets your specific needs. We will examine the current production of your part, determine its end use and application, and then work with you to meet your needs.
Lasertube allows you to make suggestions for improvements to your customers' parts design. The extensive library of connections can be used for assembly without the use of screws or welding.
