The StarCut Tube SL is a complete turnkey machine that incorporates an fs-laser and is ideal for laser cutting complex metal shapes such as thrombectomy stent retrievers.

Metal fabricators know a lot about what flat sheet processing has involved with fiber laser cutting technology. But, what does the fiber laser do for tube cutting? A lot actually.

It doesn't take much to make your in-house laser tube cutters easy or cost-prohibitive. Everyone can cut like a pro, even engineers.

Micrometric Ltd uses a versatile Coherent StarCuttube laser cutting machine for speed and precision in manufacturing aerospace and medical products.

How do tube cutters work

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.

With diameters ranging from 10 to 324 millimeters and pipe and profile lengths up to 12.5 meters, our system solutions offer the largest available selection for the flexible production of small and large series.

The maintenance of a fiber laser is not as important. It doesn't need mirror cleaning or bellows checks like a CO2 Laser Cutting Machine. It does not need to be cooled with cold water, and air filters can be replaced regularly.

Imagine that you have to position a through-hole on top of a tube. It must be centered on the tube's actual dimension. It will be more difficult to center the tube if it is bent. This is the reality of tube fabrication.

There are many ways to use processed tubes and profiles. It can be used in automotive, furniture design, architecture, and commercial vehicle construction. The laser-assisted processing (profiles and tubes) offers a wide range of manufacturing options and unique design possibilities in many industries.

Laser cutting machines can cut sheets of metal in seconds. It's possible to do the exact same thing with a laser tube-cutting machine, but that's another story.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

The laser beam is the most important component of the laser cutter; it determines wavelength and power, and thus the material that it can cut or engrave. Solid-state lasers, fiber lasers, and CO2 lasers are the three main types of lasers used in laser cutting.

Laser cutting pipe is the best way to achieve repeatable and precise cutting in applications where the precision of the cut itself is important.
