Tube Lasers Cutting Systems Of America

The subject of material loading and unloading automation is well established in sheet laser cutting with a multitude of solutions and complexity. In contrast, tube laser cutting systems equipped with vertical storage systems, for tubes and section bars, capable of handling bars automatically and allowing for unmanned production changes have only been available for a few years.

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.

Laser generating technology is now available for sheet laser cutting machines that can deliver up to 12 kW power. Laser tube cutting machines typically have a maximum power output of 5 kW, as any additional power would also cut through the opposite end of the tube.

Secondary operations are eliminated: A tube Laser can cut a length of piece, add holes and cutout other designs in one operation. It also eliminates the need for additional actions like manual material removal. For more complex fabrications, you can maintain tight tolerances. Parts can easily be manufactured from one continuous raw material. Tube laser aluminum, stainless-steel and carbon can be made.

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.

PowerLine C CO2 laser systems use CO2 lasers to precisely drill, cut, scribing and mark many nonmetals, such as glass, or organic materials.

The SL has a rock-solid platform for cutting (the SL uses a base made of mineral casts). These machines provide the highest precision with contour cutting accuracy better than +/-5 um. The latest Monaco USP laser, or the fiber laser, allows for precise cutting of any type of metal or polymer.

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.
