We have the best solutions for laser tube cutting. Learn how lasers can reduce entire processes and increase the number of parts that you can make.
Your in-house laser tube cutting doesn't need to be expensive or complicated anymore. Anyone from students to engineers can cut like never before
You don't need to coordinate multiple orders with different vendors. Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. is able to handle all aspects of material procurement and delivery.
How can this be compensated? Traditionally, you'd touch your face with the sensor at the contact area. The tube will then be rotated and the other end of it touched. This gives the control a good idea of the tube's bend. This technique is precise and will ensure that all through-holes work for your application. The ability to deliver very tight tolerances is affected by every rotation of a tube.
The best solution for tubes with any section. Tubes up-to O 6 (152.4 mm)2D CutCO2 or fiber laser
These machines are rock-solid and have a mineral-cast base. They offer precision contour cutting accuracy of +/- 5um. You can choose from a fiber laser or the most recent Monaco USP laser for fine cutting any metal or polymer.
The laser cutting system StarCut Tube SL provides highest accuracy, superior reliability, and high performance when cutting complex medical devices such as stents, aortic valve replacements, or hypotubes.
A laser tube cutting machine doesn't come with any standard material towers. Bundle loading is the best option for handling tube material. It feeds one tube at a given time from the bundle into a tube laser using a singularizing process. This type cannot be used with open profiles (e.g. channels and angles), because they interlock inside the bundles and don’t move freely. Step loaders, which are used for open profile profiles, sequence one section at time into the machine while maintaining the correct orientation.
TruLaser tube 3000 fiber is a valuable laser tube cutting machine. It's perfect for novice users, or as a supplementary machine.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. has the capability to produce tube lasers that can be used to replace manual processes or optimize the cutting process.
The TruLaser Tube 5000 fiber achieves record speeds. It takes full advantage of the strengths of solid-state lasers. For the user, this means short processing times and a wide range of possible parts.
StarFiber Series combine compact fiber lasers with optional focusing heads for laser welding or cutting, including SmartWeld™ technology for fine and wide welds.
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).
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.
