Coherent StarCut Tube "hybrid", version has the greatest flexibility for cutting various medical devices in metals or other plastics from tubes or flat stock. This laser machine is a turnkey solution that combines two lasers in one compact housing.
Laser systems for electronics manufacturing are fast and high-precision and can be used to cut, mark, weld, mark, or ablate metals and other materials.
Fabricators might first think of high-speed laser cutting when they think about fiber laser cutting technology. While this might be true in some cases, it is not the case when it comes tube cutting. It is more about the time required to process a tube so it meets specifications than the actual cutting speed.
Some things are extremely obvious. The size of the laser "generator," on a fiber laser, is much smaller than that of a traditional CO2 resonanceator. The fiber laser is made up of banks of diodes. Each module can hold 600 to 1,500W. Multiple modules can be spliced together in order to create the final powered-resonator. This module is typically about the same size and shape as a small filing box. Fiber-optic cable channels the light generated and amplifies it. The light is still the same quality and power when it exits the fibre-optic conduit. It is then adjusted for the type and focus of the material to be cut.

Traditional tube features can be time-consuming. FabLight makes it easy for you to get exactly you want and how you designed it - in minutes
The high cutting speed of CO2 lasers is what makes them stand out. Their main application area is the medium-to-high range of material thicknesses. The laser beam cuts with high precision and is free from burrs. This allows the parts to be processed further without needing to be reworked.
A second consideration is the fiber laser’s compact modules. They allow for redundancy. The resonator can still shut down when one module is having a problem. The fiber laser is redundant so that other modules can temporarily produce more power to support the down module while repairs are made. These can also be done in field. The fiber resonator may also continue to produce lower power until it can be repaired. The entire CO2 resonator can go down if it has an issue.
Monaco high-power Femtosecond Lasers offer exceptional edge quality in micromachining, and improves in scientific applications such three-photon Microscopy.
Laser cutting technology with shape can allow for complete customization. The raw material can be used to create finished or semifinished parts.
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.
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.
