Fitness equipment must be built with the highest standards of design, durability, usability, efficiency, and compactness.
North America's top magazine for the metal forming/fabricating industry is The FABRICATOR. The magazine offers news, technical information, and case histories to assist fabricators in doing their jobs more efficiently. Since 1970 the FABRICATOR served the industry.
It is one third of a 20-foot (20-24") tube. This makes it possible to make three separate stock items. This allows you to purchase full tube lengths while not wasting material.
Parts can be held with automatic tabbering (in FabCreator), as well as a set of jaws at the drive chuck, and the idler-chuck.
High-speed cutting is often the first thing fabricators associate with fiber laser cutting technology. Although this may be true for tube cutting, speed is a relative term. It is not about cutting speed, but the time it takes for a tube to be processed to meet its specifications.
NIT uses the Coherent laser to create vertical components of nitinol with extraordinary precision and edge strength.
Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. can provide a variety of fabrication solutions for processing tubes, pipes, or structural steel. The tube lasers of Gulf States Saw & Machinery Co., Inc. offer superior laser-cutting technology, but many include additional processing functions that provide value-added benefits to fabricators.
Most metal fabricators are familiar with the capabilities of fiber laser technology to cut flat sheets. But what can it do for tube-cutting? A lot, actually.
A laser cutting machine that cuts sheet metal can change out a sheet in seconds. The same can be done on a laser tube cutting machine, but it’s a whole different story as to how it’s done.
With Coherent laser systems, you can achieve precision in medical device manufacturing.
Coherent StarCut Tube 'hybrid' version provides the highest flexibility for cutting medical devices made of metals or plastics. This machine integrates two lasers within a compact housing.
Built for maximum productivity, even for XXL tubes. With its robust solid-state laser, this machine can be used in numerous ways for the processing of tubes and profiles with a wide range of types of material and wall thicknesses.
In-house laser tube cutting does not have to be difficult or costly. Everybody, from engineers to students, can cut like never before
The fiber laser requires less maintenance than a CO2 laser. The fiber laser does not need the mirror cleaning or bellows checking that a CO2 cutting machine requires. The fiber laser doesn't need any preventive maintenance, provided it receives clean chiller and cooling water.
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.
