Imagine having to place a through-hole centered on a tube. It has to be centered to the actual dimension, not just one face of the tube. If the tube is bowed, that’s going to make things more difficult. That’s the life of tube fabricating.
Eliminate secondary operations: A tube laser can cut a piece to length and add holes and other cutout designs in a single step, eliminating the need for secondary actions and manual material removal. You gain the ability to hold tight tolerances on more complex fabrications. Parts can be produced from one continuous piece of raw material to ensure that they only fit one way and are easily assembled. We can tube laser aluminum, stainless steel and carbon.
Sheet laser cutting is a complex process that requires material loading and unloading automation. There are many solutions available. Tube laser cutting systems with vertical storage systems for tubes and section bars that can automatically handle bars and allow for unmanned production changes, on the other hand, have only been around for a few decades.
Let's now look at the benefits associated with an automatic tube and section-bar storage system combined with a Lasertube Cutting system.

In the manufacture of fitness equipment, design, durability and usability are key construction principles.
Traditional tube features can take a lot of time. FabLight makes it simple to have exactly what you want, and how you design it in just minutes.
The TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber is capable of reaching record speeds. It makes full use of solid-state Lasers' strengths. This results in shorter processing times for the user and a wider range of parts.
StarCut Tube SL combines an fs-laser to create complex metal shapes.
StarCut Tube Laser SL is the best laser cutting system for complex medical devices, such as stents and aortic valve replacements.
StarFeed can be used as an automated loader/unloader to the StarCut Tube laser cutting machine. It comes in two sizes, S and L. The StarFeed allows you to fully automate dry and wet cutting for tubes of any diameter from 1-20mm. StarFeed L can store 48 tubes and allows processing of oval tubing. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. The result is a substantial increase in productivity.
Learn how the Coherent StarCut Tube and StarFiber laser-powered cutting machines helped NPX Medical gain a competitive edge in stent manufacturing and more.
It is important to remember that traditional ways of checking for twists and bows can take up five or seven seconds, before cutting can begin. Touch sensing can only be used for precision. It can seem that this is all a lot, but it's not the same as working with sheetmetal.
Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
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.
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.
