Tube Laser Cutting Systems Engineer

How do you compensate for that? Traditionally, you are going to come down and touch the face with a sensor that marks the contact point. The tube is then rotated, and the opposite side of the tube is touched. That gives the control an idea of just how bowed the tube is. This method is accurate and can ensure those through-holes work out for the application. But keep in mind that each time a rotation of the tube occurs, the ability to deliver very high tolerances is reduced.

Tubes and profiles are used everywhere – from mechanical engineering and system construction all the way to the furniture industry. Lasers have opened up new design possibilities, so more and more designers are taking advantage of the benefits of laser-cut tubes and profiles thereby considerably increasing demand.

Lasertube systems are 2D and 3-D laser cutting systems that can be used to cut tubes, bars, and profiles. They come in a range of sizes, including 12 mm to 661 mm (.5"-.24") in diameter, and up to 18m (60' in length).

When fabricators think about fiber laser cutting technology, they might think of high-speed cutting first. That might be true, but when it comes to tube cutting, speed is relative. It’s more about the time it takes to process a tube to meet specifications than actual cutting speed on the tube.

Fiber lasers can be used to cut reflective materials and provide precise cutting. They are almost maintenance-free. They can also cut certain thicknesses of metal faster than CO2 lasers. But speed is only relative when cutting tube. Speeding up the process of cutting tube and producing finished products can make time savings.
