The ability to choose between 2D and 3D laser cutting technology opensup the possibility of individually customized and precise cutting of parts in avery wide variety: tubes with round, square, and rectangular shapes as well asprofiles with diverse open cross-sections (for example H, L, T, and Ucross-sections). In addition tostraight cutting edges, the 3D technology also enables bevel cuts up to 45degrees. This versatility eliminates the need for costlymilling, drilling, punching, or sawing processes.
Get a peek into our StarCut Tube manufacturing area and lab to learn about the multi-axis CNC machines that can be used for flat and tube production, as well as medical devices such stent shafts, hypotubes and PTCA devices.
Monaco high-power femtosecond lasers deliver superior edge quality in micromachining and improvements in scientific applications like three-photon microscopy.
The tube cutting laser machine StarCut Tube offers the ultimate precision, with contour cutting accuracies better than +/- 5µm.
Laser cutting technology with shape can allow for complete customization. The raw material can be used to create finished or semifinished parts.
The CO2 resonator requires much more energy and is larger. Electricity is used to combine gases to create the laser beam. Mirrors aid in the light's intensity and prepare it for exiting the resonator. The beam must travel along a path that includes several cooled mirrors to reach the lens after it has exited the resonator. This causes the beam to lose power and quality.
Fiber lasers can cut thin materials at high speeds. They are also very energy-efficient and require little maintenance. This laser cutting technology has special properties that allow for applications in steel, stainless steel, aluminum, as well as non-ferrous metals like copper and brass.
The right cutting technology for every requirement. Depending on the materials that are to be processed and the desired cutting quality and level ofproductivity, users have the choice between CO2 laser cuttingsystems and fiber laser cutting systems.
All types, all shapes: This machine can cut carbon, stainless and aluminum in any shape or form.
StarCut Tube L 600 is available with a fiber laser, a USP laser or both lasers. StarCut Tube SL is a compact model with the smallest footprint in the market.
Reduce time and the number of parts required. Tube frames and metal structures can be assembled faster and with more precision. In one programming step, you can complete your part on one machine and one system.
The best solution for tubes with any section. Tubes up-to O 6 (152.4 mm)2D CutCO2 or fiber laser
For large diameter tubes or profiles, CO2 is the best choice. Tubes up O 14/24" (355 mm/ 610mm) 3D cutting modeCO2 laser
Remember that there is no perfect tube. They can have bows. They can have weld seams that protrude on both the interior and exterior of the tube. This material can be difficult to process consistently and quickly when there are inconsistencies from one product to the next.
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. It can also be used on a variety of materials in a variety of shapes and sizes.
Maximum material cutting thicknesses by 1000W fiber laser cutting machine: Carbon steel has a maximum thickness of 10mm; stainless steel has a maximum thickness of 5mm; aluminum plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm; and copper plate has a maximum thickness of 3mm.
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.
