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.
StarCut Tube is a tube-cutting laser machine that offers precision up to +/- 5um.
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.
Imagine putting a through hole centered on a tube. It should be centered according to the actual dimension and not just one side of the tube. Bowed tubes will make it more difficult. Tube fabricating is hard work.
We have the best solutions for laser tube cutting. Learn how lasers can reduce entire processes and increase the number of parts that you can make.
Of course, the fiber laser doesn’t need as much attention in terms of maintenance. It doesn’t require mirror cleaning and bellows checks that a CO2 laser cutting machine needs. As long as it gets clean chiller water for cooling and the air filters are routinely replaced, the fiber laser itself is free of preventive maintenance.
No downtime or extended lead time: Because we combine a tube machine and a laser, each stage of your project can be completed in one location. We can offer full-service support for all your needs.
StarCut Tube SL consists of a complete turnkey machine. It includes an fsl-laser. This makes it ideal for laser cutting complex metal forms such as thrombectomy stent retrievers.
There are many ways to use processed tubes and profiles. It can be used in automotive, furniture design, architecture, and commercial vehicle construction. The laser-assisted processing (profiles and tubes) offers a wide range of manufacturing options and unique design possibilities in many industries.
Parts are held with automatic tabbing (done in FabCreator), and a set of jaws on the drive chuck and the idler chuck
A laser cutting machine that cuts sheet metal can change out a sheet in seconds. The same can be done on a laser tube cutting machine, but it’s a whole different story as to how it’s done.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can provide a variety of fabrication solutions for processing tubes, pipes, or structural steel. The tube lasers of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offer superior laser-cutting technology, but many include additional processing functions that provide value-added benefits to fabricators.
Some things are extremely obvious. The size of the laser "generator," on a fiber laser, is much smaller than that of a traditional CO2 resonanceator. The fiber laser is made up of banks of diodes. Each module can hold 600 to 1,500W. Multiple modules can be spliced together in order to create the final powered-resonator. This module is typically about the same size and shape as a small filing box. Fiber-optic cable channels the light generated and amplifies it. The light is still the same quality and power when it exits the fibre-optic conduit. It is then adjusted for the type and focus of the material to be cut.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can help you develop new designs that improve aesthetics, increase functionality, and bring new products to market quicker.
The laser beam is the most important component of the laser cutter; it determines wavelength and power, and thus the material that it can cut or engrave. Solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and CO2 lasers are the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting.
Maximum material cutting thicknesses by 1000W fiber laser cutting machine: Carbon steel has a maximum thickness of 10mm; stainless steel has a maximum thickness of 5mm; aluminum plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm; and copper plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm.
