You will be able to see the fiber laser in action for a better understanding of some things. A fiber laser has a higher power density than a CO2 beam because its beam diameter is usually one-third of that of a CO2 beam. This allows the fiber to cut faster and pierce more quickly. The fiber can also cut intricate shapes and leave sharp edges thanks to the smaller beam size. A fiber laser can cut a logo for a company out of a tube with a spacing of 0.035 inches between letters.
You can find laser systems that are high-precision and fast for cutting, welding and marking metals and plastics.
High cutting quality is one of the main characteristics of CO2 Lasers. Their primary application is in medium to high material thicknesses. The laser beam's cutting edges offer high throughburr and low scoring. This makes it possible to process the cut parts further without having to rework.
Reduce the amount of components and save time. You can make tubular frames or metal structures that are easier to assemble and more precise. Your part can be completed in just one programming step and in one machining step.
Tubes are essential building blocks, whether it's the production of equipment for gyms or small, multifunctional exercise machines that can be used in domestic spaces. Tube processing technologies such as laser cutting and bending are widely used in this industry.
Motion Dynamics is a leader in the manufacture of neuro-sub-assemblies. This includes steerable catheters, "pull-wire" assemblies and other neurological components. We use our StarCut Tube machines to precisely cut key components.
The weld seam is another consideration in tube cutting. This material is then roll-formed before being welded together. This brings us to two important points that should be addressed.
Lasertube systems are 2D and 3-D laser cutting systems that can be used to cut tubes, bars, and profiles. They come in a range of sizes, including 12 mm to 661 mm (.5"-.24") in diameter, and up to 18m (60' in length).
The applications of tubes and profiles are numerous. The use of processed tubes and profiles is endless, in every industry. The laser-assisted production of tubes and profile offers many possibilities for design and manufacturing.
Many applications are possible for processed tubes or profiles. There are many applications for processed tubes and profiles, whether in the automotive, furniture, architecture, petrochemical, or commercial vehicle building. Many industries have embraced laser-assisted manufacturing of tubes and profiles. This allows for a virtually unlimited range of components and unmatched design possibilities.

A tube extension is available to load tube stock upto 80", or 6’8". It is important to note that the maximum part sizes remain at 52".
This is the most effective solution to any tube section. Tubes upto O6" (152.4 mm).2D cutterCO2 or fibre laser
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.
