Machine manufacturers have begun using cameras to perform tube inspections. They can reduce the time it takes to inspect quality tubes and also reduce the amount of rotations needed. This allows for both productivity and accuracy to be maintained.
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.
Leaders in advanced laser-cutting solutions and CNC controls.
A weld-seam is an additional consideration when cutting tube. This material can be roll-formed and welded together. This raises two issues that must be addressed.
Metal fabricators know a lot about what flat sheet processing has involved with fiber laser cutting technology. But, what does the fiber laser do for tube cutting? A lot actually.
With Lasertube systems, you can create new applications or improve existing ones, entering new industrial sectors and increasing profit margins.
Cameras are being used by machinery manufacturers to inspect tubes. The quality check takes only about half an second, and the rotations required are reduced. This allows the machine's productivity to be maintained as well as its accuracy.
You may have noticed we haven’t covered cutting speed. Although you can cut up 500 inches per minute using a tube cutter, it's not always practical. Laser tube cutting involves focusing on the time required to load a tube, index the tube so it's in a good position for cutting and then pierce, cut and unload the part. It is not about cutting speed, but part-processing time when laser tube cutting machines are used.
The CO2 resonator requires much more energy and is larger. Electricity is used to combine gases to create the laser beam. Mirrors aid in the light's intensity and prepare it for exiting the resonator. The beam must travel along a path that includes several cooled mirrors to reach the lens after it has exited the resonator. This causes the beam to lose power and quality.
Whether it is the manufacture of specific equipment for gyms, or smaller, multifunctional exercise machines for domestic spaces, tubes are the fundamental building blocks. This is why tube processing technologies, such as bending and laser cutting, are so widely used in this sector.
This is the simplest way to get into tube laser cutting. Tubes up to O 4,72 inches (120 mm).2D cutFiber laser
Most metal fabricators have a strong understanding of what fiber laser cutting technology has done for flat sheet processing, but just what has the fiber laser done for tube cutting? Quite a bit, actually.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offers a wide range of fabrication services, including processing tubes, structural steel, and pipes. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. tube-lasers offer superior laser cutting technology, and many incorporate additional processing functions to provide fabricators with added value.
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.
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.
from 3 months to 3 years
Glass CO2 laser tubes all degrade over time, with lifespans ranging from 3 months to 3 years. With use, the CO2 inside the tube degrades into carbon monoxide and oxygen. Overdriving the tube only accelerates this process and shortens its working life.
