A laser cutting machine can make a sheet of sheet metal in seconds. However, a laser tube cutting machine can achieve the same results. It is quite different from how it works.
Even for XXL tubes, this machine is designed for maximum productivity. This machine is robust and solid-state laser capable of processing tubes and profiles of a wide variety of materials and wall thicknesses.
Any job shop will have to offer a variety of options. This is also true for tube laser operators. It is not uncommon to see parts of different sizes coming from the same tube. It must be capable of loading laser-cut parts up to 2 in. The machine must be able to unload laser-cut parts as small as 2 in. and as long at 15 ft. one after another. It must also be capable of unloading those parts without damaging the rest. This is especially important for soft metals such aluminum.
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube was used to cut stents and how StarFiber, a laser-powered cutting machine, helped NPX Medical.
Imagine that you need to put a through-hole at the center of a tube. It must be centered to the actual dimensions, not just one. This will make things more complicated. This is how tube manufacturing works.
You will find the perfect solution for your laser fabrication needs, while still ensuring process quality and efficiency in both metal and nonmetal fabricating.
Every need has its own cutting technology. The materials to be processed, as well as the desired level of productivity and cutting quality, allow users to choose between CO2 and fiber laser cutting systems.
Lasertube allows you to make suggestions for improvements to your customers' parts design. The extensive library of connections can be used for assembly without the use of screws or welding.
Another thing to consider is the modular design of the fiber laser. These modules are small enough to be carried in a briefcase and allow for redundancy. The resonator does not completely shut off if one module fails. The fiber laser acts redundantly in that it can produce more power temporarily in order to support the damaged module until repairs can take place. (This can, by the way can be done on the field). Other times, the fiber-resonator can continue producing lower power until repairs can take place. A CO2 resonator issue can lead to the complete resonator being down.
Lasertube can help you make improvements to parts based on your customers' needs.
To close the time gap when it comes to tube checks, some machinery manufacturers are using cameras for these checks. They reduce the quality check to about half a second and also reduce the number of rotations that are required. This allows the machine to retain productivity as well as accuracy.
StarFiber Series are compact fiber lasers that include optional focusing heads. These can be used for laser cutting and welding, or for laser cutting. SmartWeldTM technology is available for fine welds.
NIT uses the Coherent laser to create vertical components of nitinol with extraordinary precision and edge strength.
Some things are very obvious. A fiber laser's laser generator is smaller than a CO2 resonator. The fiber laser is actually made from banks of diodes, which are assembled in a module the size of a briefcase. It can produce power from 600 to 1,500 Watts. The final powered resonator is made up of multiple modules that are connected together. It can be as small as a small filing cabinet. Fiber-optic cable amplifies the light produced and channels it. The light that exits the fiber optic cable is exactly the same as it was when it was generated. There is no loss in power or quality. The light is then focused and adjusted to determine the material that will be cut.
Pipe and tubing Cutting Procedures:
Rotate the pipe cutter around. Tighten the cutter slightly and rotate it around the pipe several times. Repeat until the pipe is severed by the blade. Steel pipe can be cut with a hacksaw, reciprocating saw, or steel-pipe tubing cutter.
CO2 laser cutters are the most commonly used types of laser cutters because they are low power, relatively inexpensive, efficient, and can cut through and raster a wide range of materials.
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.
