Tube Laser Cutting Systems Working

Tube Laser Cutting Systems Leather

The subject of material loading and unloading automation is well established in sheet laser cutting with a multitude of solutions and complexity. In contrast, tube laser cutting systems equipped with vertical storage systems, for tubes and section bars, capable of handling bars automatically and allowing for unmanned production changes have only been available for a few years.

Many applications are possible for processed tubes or profiles. There are many applications for processed tubes and profiles, whether in the automotive, furniture, architecture, petrochemical, or commercial vehicle building. Many industries have embraced laser-assisted manufacturing of tubes and profiles. This allows for a virtually unlimited range of components and unmatched design possibilities.

Monaco high-power femtosecond lasers provide superior edge quality in micromachining as well as improvements in scientific applications, such as three-photon microscopescopy.

Let's look below at the advantages of using an automatic tube and section bar storage system with a Lasertube cutting system.

StarCut Tube L 600 has a choice of three laser options: a fiber laser or a USP. StarCut Tube SL has the smallest footprint of any model on the market.

A CO2 laser requires more power to produce than a fiber laser. This makes it less efficient and has lower wall plug efficiency. You will also need to use more power for the large CO2 laser chillers. Because the fiber laser-resonator's wall-plug efficiency is greater than 40 percent, it uses less power as well as less of your in high-demand flooring space.

A fiber laser's operation can reveal some subtleties that are not obvious. The fiber laser beam has a much higher power density than the CO2 laser beam due to its smaller beam diameter. This not only allows the fiber laser to cut faster but also allows it to pierce quicker. The fiber is able to cut complex shapes and leave sharp edges because of the smaller beam size. Imagine cutting out a company logo from a tube, with letters spaced at 0.035 inches. A fiber can do that while a CO2 laser cannot.

NIT's Coherent laser cutting machine is used to vertically produce nitinol, and other metal components. It has exceptional precision and edge quality.

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.

Tubes are very simple and do not require a powerful laser. Tube laser cutting machines require only 5 kW power, whereas flat sheet laser cutters can be powered by laser generators up to 12 kW. When cutting a tube, it is important to always think about the other side. A stronger laser would simply blow through the tube on the opposite side during cutting. You don't need to worry about the other side if you're processing a beam of a channel or a channel using the tube laser.
