North America's premier magazine for the metal-forming and fabricating industries, The FABRICATOR, is THE FABRICATOR. The magazine contains news, technical articles, case histories, and other information that will help fabricators perform their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970, The FABRICATOR serves the industry.
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.
Your in-house laser tube cutting doesn't need to be expensive or complicated anymore. Anyone from students to engineers can cut like never before
We can complete your project in one facility with no downtime and extended lead times. We offer full-service center support that can:
Learn how Micrometric Ltd uses the versatile Coherent StarCut Tube laser cutting machine to deliver speed and precision for medical and aerospace products.
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.
When fabricators think of fiber laser cutting technology they may first think high-speed. This might be true. However, speed is subjective when it comes to tube-cutting. It's not the cutting speed of the tube that matters, but rather the processing time.
The most productive solution for tubes of any section. Tubes up to Ø 6" (152.4 mm)2D cutCO2 or fiber laser
Record speeds are achieved by the TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber. This fiber takes full advantage the solid-state laser's strengths. This means that the user can process quickly and have access to a large number of parts.
You may have noticed that we haven’t discussed cutting speed yet. It is possible to cut up to 500 inches per minute on a tube, but that’s not always realistic. In laser tube cutting, the real focus should be on how long it takes to load a tube, index it so it’s in the right position for cutting, pierce and cut it, and unload the part. It’s more about part-processing time with laser tube cutting machines, not cutting speed.
Laser tube cutting is our specialty. We provide the perfect solutions. You can learn more about laser tube cutting and how they can simplify the process while increasing the production of parts.
Tubes are fundamental building blocks for any type of manufacturing, including equipment for gyms and smaller multifunctional machines for homes. This is why many tube processing technologies like laser cutting or bending are so popular in this sector.
Motion Dynamics, a world-class manufacturer of neurological parts, includes steerable catheters or "pullwire" assemblies. Motion Dynamics also makes use of StarCut Tubes for precision cutting key components.
Profiles and tubes are widely used in all areas of engineering, from system construction to furniture manufacturing. The lasers have opened up new design possibilities. More and more designers are taking advantage the advantages of laser-cut profiles and tubes, thereby increasing their demand. Explore all the options for laser tube cutting, and learn more about TruLaser Tube machines.
A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
What is the operation of a CO2 Laser? Modern CO2 machines typically generate the laser beam in a sealed glass tube filled with gas, typically carbon dioxide. A high voltage flows through the tube, interacting with the gas particles and increasing their energy, resulting in the production of light.
