You may have noticed that we haven’t discussed cutting speed yet. It is possible to cut up to 500 inches per minute on a tube, but that’s not always realistic. In laser tube cutting, the real focus should be on how long it takes to load a tube, index it so it’s in the right position for cutting, pierce and cut it, and unload the part. It’s more about part-processing time with laser tube cutting machines, not cutting speed.
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.
