Tube Lasers Cutting Systems Minneapolis

Laser tube cutting at home doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. Students and engineers alike can cut like never seen before

Many of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. tube laser-cutting machines incorporate intelligent machine functions, including monitoring, setup, and cutting functions. These functions automate machine operation, increasing efficiency and ease of use. These machines are ideal for many industries thanks to their tube and pipe lasers.

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.

Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is able to meet all your fabrication needs when it comes to processing tubes, steel pipes, and structural steel. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. tube Lasers not only offer superior laser-cutting technologies, but also include additional processing functions that can provide added benefits for fabricators.

Most metal fabricators are familiar with the capabilities of fiber laser technology to cut flat sheets. But what can it do for tube-cutting? A lot, actually.

Monaco high-power, femtosecond-lasers offer superior edge quality for micromachining and improved scientific applications such as three-photon microscopy.

A second consideration is the fiber laser’s compact modules. They allow for redundancy. The resonator can still shut down when one module is having a problem. The fiber laser is redundant so that other modules can temporarily produce more power to support the down module while repairs are made. These can also be done in field. The fiber resonator may also continue to produce lower power until it can be repaired. The entire CO2 resonator can go down if it has an issue.

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.
