Tube Laser Cutting Systems Kolkata

How do you test a laser tube

Lasertube systems are a great way to improve or create new applications. They also allow you enter new industrial areas and increase your profit margins.

In sheet laser cutting, the subject of material loading/unloading automation is well-established. This can be achieved with many different solutions. Tube laser cutting systems that are equipped with vertical storage for tubes or section bars can handle bars automatically, allowing for unmanned production changes. They have been around for only a few years.

Due to the high power needed to create a CO2 Laser, it is less efficient than a fiber-laser. Also, the large chillers that are required to make CO2 lasers work require more power. You are using less power due to the fiber laser's wall plug efficiency exceeding 40 percent. This means that you also use less of your floor space in high-demand areas.

Another consideration is the fiber laser’s briefcase-sized modules—they allow for redundancy. If one module has a problem, the resonator doesn’t shut down completely. The fiber laser is redundant in a way that the other modules can produce more power temporarily to support the down module until repairs can be completed—which, by the way, can be done in the field. Other times the fiber resonator can continue producing reduced power until repairs can be made. Unfortunately, if a CO2 resonator has an issue, the entire resonator is down, not just in a reduced-power mode.

Fiber lasers don't require as much maintenance. It does not require the same attention as a CO2 laser-cutting machine in terms of mirror cleaning and bellows inspections. It doesn't require any maintenance, as long it has clean chiller water to cool off and its air filters are regularly changed.

There are no standard material towers with a laser tube cutting machine. Bundle loaders, the most efficient of the tube material handling options, feed one tube at a time from the bundle into the tube laser via a singularizing system. This type of feeding mechanism doesn’t work with open profiles, such as angles or channels, because they interlock while in a bundle and don’t come free easily. For open profiles, step loaders are used, which sequence a section one at a time into the machine while keeping the correct orientation of that section.

Tube cutting also requires a weld seam. This material is rolled-formed and then welded together. These two points should be considered:

You might have noticed that cutting speed has not been discussed yet. While it is possible for a tube to be cut at up to 500 inches per min, that is not always possible. Laser tube cutting requires that you focus on the time it takes to load a tube and index it in order to cut. Laser tube cutters are slow and take a lot of time to process parts.

StarFeed is an automatic loader/unloader that is compatible with the StarCut Tube laser cutting machine. Available in sizes S and S, this combination allows for automated dry or wet cut of tubes from 1-200 mm in diameter. StarFeed L is capable of storing up to 48 tubes. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. The result is a large increase in productivity.

How do I install a new laser tube

Because of the amount of power required to create a CO2 laser, it is less efficient and has a much lower wall plug efficiency when compared to a fiber laser. It follows that the large chillers required for the CO2 lasers need more overall power too. Given the fiber laser resonator’s wall plug efficiency of more than 40 percent, you are not only using less power, but also less of your in-high-demand floor space.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
