You can manufacture medical devices with precision and maximum availability using Coherent lasers for cutting and drilling, texturizing, texturizing, and marking.
NIT shows how a Coherent laser cutter machine can be used for vertical manufacturing of Nitinol or other metal components. This machine has outstanding precision and edge-quality.
There are two options for laser cutting technology: 2D or 3-D. You can customize and cut parts in many different shapes. For example, you can make tubes that have round, square and rectangular shapes. Also, you can cut profiles with various open cross-sections like H, L, T and Ucross-sections. 3D technology can also be used to make bevel cuts as high as 45degrees. This versatility makes it possible to eliminate the need for expensive milling, drilling and punching as well as sawing.
Reduce secondary operations: A tube-laser can cut a piece to size and add holes and other cutouts in one step. It eliminates the need to perform secondary actions or manually remove material. It is possible to keep tight tolerances even on complex fabrications. Parts can be made from one continuous piece. They are easy to put together and fit perfectly. We can also tube laser carbon, stainless steel, and aluminum.
The very nature of a tube prevents the need for a machine with a very high-powered laser. Whereas flat sheet laser cutting machines now are available with laser generators as powerful as 12 kW, tube laser cutting machines usually only require a maximum of 5 kW of power. With a tube, you always have to think about the opposite side of the tube you are cutting. A more powerful laser simply would blow through the other side of the tube during cutting. (Of course, if you are processing a beam or a channel on the tube laser you don’t have to worry about another side.)
Secondary operations can be eliminated: A tube laser can easily cut a piece of material to the desired length, add holes or other cutout designs in one step. This eliminates the need for manual material removal. This allows you to maintain tight tolerances for more complicated fabrications. You can make parts from one continuous piece. This allows you to ensure they fit in one direction and is easy to assemble. Tube laser aluminum, carbon and stainless steel can all be tubed.

Learn how Micrometric Ltd uses the versatile Coherent StarCut Tube laser cutting machine to deliver speed and precision for medical and aerospace products.
A laser cutter that cuts sheet metal can transform a sheet of paper in seconds. You can also do the same with a laser tube cutter machine but it is a completely different story about how it is done.
Parts are held with automatic tabbing (done in FabCreator), and a set of jaws on the drive chuck and the idler chuck
No need to coordinate multiple orders and vendors. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can handle everything from material procurement to past delivery.

We offer a tube extender for loading tube stock of up to 80" (6'8") You can still use the tube extension to load stock up to 80" or 6'8".
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.
