The other factor to keep in mind is that the traditional method of checking for bows and twists in the tube can take up to five or seven seconds before cutting commences. With the traditional means of touch sensing, you have to trade productivity for accuracy. Again, in the age of fiber laser cutting, this can seem like a lifetime, but working with tube is not as simple as working with sheet metal.
Even for XXL tubes, this machine is designed for maximum productivity. This machine is robust and solid-state laser capable of processing tubes and profiles of a wide variety of materials and wall thicknesses.

Lasertube allows you to make suggestions for improvements to your customers' parts design. The extensive library of connections can be used for assembly without the use of screws or welding.
Save time and reduce number of components Metal structures and tubular frames can be made faster and more precisely. Completion of your part is possible in just one programming step, one machining step, or on one system.
Tubes are the essential building blocks whether you're making equipment for gyms or for smaller, multifunctional exercise devices for your home. This is why so many technologies for tube processing, like bending and laser-cutting, are widely used within this sector.
Due to the power required to make a CO2 laser it is much less efficient than a fiber laser and has a lower wall plug efficiency. The large chillers needed to create CO2 lasers require more power overall. The fiber laser resonator has a wall plug efficiency of over 40 percent so you not only use less power but also take up less of your high-demand floor space.
Laser fabrication solutions that meet your exact needs are available. They also offer process efficiency and quality for metal and non-metal fabrication.
Lasertube lets you customize part designs to meet the needs of your customers.
StarCut Tube laser tube cutter offers unsurpassed precision. It can cut contours up to +/-5um.
No need for multiple vendors and orders to be coordinated. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the ability to manage everything, including material procurement and past delivery.
Laser cutting machines can cut sheets of metal in seconds. It's possible to do the exact same thing with a laser tube-cutting machine, but that's another story.
Reduce time and the number of parts required. Tube frames and metal structures can be assembled faster and with more precision. In one programming step, you can complete your part on one machine and one system.
Laser tube cutting is our specialty. We provide the perfect solutions. You can learn more about laser tube cutting and how they can simplify the process while increasing the production of parts.
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.
