Motion Dynamics is a leader in the manufacture of neuro-sub-assemblies. This includes steerable catheters, "pull-wire" assemblies and other neurological components. We use our StarCut Tube machines to precisely cut key components.
Let's examine the benefits of using an automated tube storage system and section bar storage system in conjunction with a Lasertube-cutting system.
The tube laser cutting solution has the greatest working range. Tubes upto O 9.45" (240mm), 3D cutting modeCO2 OR fiber laser
The weld seam is another consideration when tube cutting. This material is roll-formed, then welded together. Two points are usually required to be addressed.
The Coherent StarCut Tube hybrid version offers the best flexibility to cut different medical devices in metals and plastics from flat stock or tubes. This compact, turnkey laser machine combines two lasers into one compact housing.
These machines are rock-solid and have a mineral-cast base. They offer precision contour cutting accuracy of +/- 5um. You can choose from a fiber laser or the most recent Monaco USP laser for fine cutting any metal or polymer.
With a rock-solid cutting platform (the SL uses a mineral cast base) these machines offer the ultimate in precision, with contour cutting accuracies better than +/- 5 µm. A choice of fiber laser or the latest Monaco USP laser enables fine cutting of any polymer or metal.
You can take a look at our StarCut Tube production area and lab to learn more about these multi-axis CNC machines for tubes, flat materials and medical devices like catheter shafts and hypotubes.
Sheet laser cutting machines are now sold with laser generating technology capable of delivering as much as 12 kW of power. A laser tube cutting machine typically tops out at 5 kW because any more power would simultaneously cut through the opposite side of the tube.
Tube extensions are available for loading tube stock to the maximum length of 80", or 6'8". The maximum part size is 52".
See how NIT uses a Coherent laser cutting machine for vertical manufacturing of nitinol and other metal components with exceptional precision and edge quality.
With diameters ranging from 10 to 324 millimeters and pipe and profile lengths up to 12.5 meters, our system solutions offer the largest available selection for the flexible production of small and large series.
Save time and reduce number of components Metal structures and tubular frames can be made faster and more precisely. Completion of your part is possible in just one programming step, one machining step, or on one system.

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.
