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.
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.
Parts are held with automatic tabbing (done in FabCreator), and a set of jaws on the drive chuck and the idler chuck
Motion Dynamics is a leading manufacturer of neurological sub-assemblies, including steerable catheters and “pull-wire” assemblies, making use of our StarCut Tube machines for precision cutting of key components.
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.
The CO2 reactor is larger and consumes more energy. To produce the laser beam, electricity is added to a mixture gas mixture. Mirrors are used to increase the intensity of light, and prepare it for exiting a resonator. The beam must travel through the path of several cooled reflectors until it reaches lens once it has left the resonance. This travel can cause a loss of power or quality in the laser beam.
The weld seam is another consideration when tube cutting. This material is roll-formed, then welded together. Two points are usually required to be addressed.
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.

Even for XXL tubes, this machine is designed for maximum productivity. This machine is robust and solid-state laser capable of processing tubes and profiles of a wide variety of materials and wall thicknesses.
Laser tube cutting is a method and technique for cutting tubes, structural shapes, or channels. These items will be cut to the required length during the process. It can also make holes or designs in tubing. It is a precise cutting method.
A fiber laser cutting machine generates a laser beam using active optical fibers and transmits it to the machine's cutting head via a transport fiber. This extremely hot laser is condensed into a narrow beam and is used to cut through various metal thicknesses.
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.
