Tube Laser Cutting Systems Yangli
Fiber lasers have high cutting speeds for thin material. These fiber lasers require minimal maintenance and have low power consumption. These laser cutting technologies have special properties, which allow them to be used in steel, stainless, aluminum, and other non-ferrous materials, like copper, brass, and bronze.
There are no standard material towers with a laser tube cutting machine. Bundle loaders, the most efficient of the tube material handling options, feed one tube at a time from the bundle into the tube laser via a singularizing system. This type of feeding mechanism doesn’t work with open profiles, such as angles or channels, because they interlock while in a bundle and don’t come free easily. For open profiles, step loaders are used, which sequence a section one at a time into the machine while keeping the correct orientation of that section.
A job shop is only as diverse as the parts it produces. The same applies to those who operate a tube laser. Parts of different sizes can be found in one tube. Laser-cut parts as small as 2 inches must be unloaded by the machine. Each one can be as long as 15 feet. You must also be able unload the parts without damaging them. This can be difficult with soft metals like aluminum.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has a team of experts that will work with you to develop a program tailored to your requirements. We'll examine how your part is being made, evaluate its use or application, then work with your to determine and fulfill your requirements.
Laser fabrication solutions that meet your exact needs are available. They also offer process efficiency and quality for metal and non-metal fabrication.
Micrometric Ltd uses a versatile Coherent StarCuttube laser cutting machine for speed and precision in manufacturing aerospace and medical products.
Another thing to remember is that traditional methods of checking for twists and bows in the tube may take as long as five to seven seconds before cutting begins. You have to compromise accuracy for productivity with traditional touch sensing. This can be frustrating, especially in this age of fiber laser cutting. However, working with tube is much more difficult than working with sheet metal.
The StarCut Tube SL is a complete turnkey machine that incorporates an fs-laser and is ideal for laser cutting complex metal shapes such as thrombectomy stent retrievers.
StarFiber Series combines compact fiber lasers with optional cutting heads or focusing heads for laser welding and cutting. SmartWeld(tm), which allows for fine and broad welds, is also available.
StarCut Tube L 600 can be ordered with either a fiber laser, USP laser, or both. StarCut Tube SL compact model has the smallest footprint on the market.
All types and all shapes: This 3-dimensional cutting machine cuts carbon, aluminum, stainless, and red metals. It is available in round, rectangular, irregular and square shapes.
You should also consider the shortcase-sized modules of the fiber laser. They provide redundancy. The resonator will not shut down completely if one of the modules has a problem. The fiber laser works in redundant mode so that the other modules can provide more power temporarily to sustain the down module's needs until they can be repaired. Field repairs are possible, however. Sometimes the fiber laser can produce less power while repairs are being made. An issue with a CO2 Resonator will cause the entire system to fail.
Laser tube cutting machines do not have standard material towers. Bundle loaders provide the fastest method of handling tube material. One tube is fed from a bundle into the tube laser by a singularizing system. This type isn't able to feed open profiles like angles and channels. They interlock in the bundle and are not easy to get free. Step loaders can be used to sequence open profiles one by one into the machine, while still maintaining the proper orientation.
StarCut Tube® SL laser cutting system provides the highest precision, reliability and performance for complex medical devices like stents, aortic valves replacements or hypotubes.
