Variety is the reality of any job shop, and the same goes for those that operate a tube laser. It’s not unusual to see parts of various sizes come from one tube. The machine must be able to unload laser-cut parts that may be as small as 2 in. and as long as 15 ft., one right after the other. It also must be able to unload those parts without damaging them, which can be a challenge with softer metals such as aluminum.
Many people believed that fiber lasers could only cut thin materials. The CO2, due to its longer wavelength created enough kerf when cutting thick materials. Fiber lasers couldn't produce the same result with thicker material. Recent developments have addressed this problem with collimating technologies that produce a larger fiber laser-generated beam which creates materials separation. Switchable beam width allows the machine to use the narrower beam for processing thin materials. This allows the machine to process multiple-sized materials more quickly on one fiber laser cutting machine.
Highest flexibility for cutting different medical devices, in metals or plastics, from tubes or flat stock with the Coherent StarCut Tube “hybrid” version. This turnkey laser machine incorporates two lasers in a single compact housing.
StarCut Tube L 600 comes with a fiber or USP laser. StarCut Tube SL, a compact model that has the smallest footprint available on the market, is the StarCut Tube SL.
PowerLine C are CO2 laser-based systems for precision drilling, cutting, scribing, marking, and engraving of many non-metals, including glass, organic materials.
Tubes and profiles can be found everywhere, in mechanical engineering and system building as well as the furniture industry. Because lasers offer new design possibilities, more and more designers are taking full advantage of the laser-cut profile and tube benefits. This is a significant increase in demand. Find out all about TruLaser Tube machines and the many solutions available in laser tube cutting.
Your in-house laser tube cutting doesn't need to be expensive or complicated anymore. Anyone from students to engineers can cut like never before
Fiber lasers are nearly maintenance-free and demonstrate superior wall plug efficiency compared to traditional CO2 Laser cutting machines. They can also be used for precise cutting of reflective materials. They are faster than CO2 when cutting certain thicknesses of steel. The speed of cutting tube is relative. Real time savings can be achieved by speeding up processing times for the tube and creating finished parts.

StarFiber Series is a compact fiber laser series that can be combined with optional focusing head for laser cutting or welding. SmartWeld (tm) technology can be added for fine and wide welding.
All types, all forms: This three-dimensional cutter machine will cut carbon and stainless steel, aluminum, and red metals in all shapes and sizes. It can be used to cut irregular, round, square, rectangular, and rectangular shapes.
The StarFeed is an automated loader/unloader for the StarCut Tube laser cutting machine and is available in sizes S and L. This combination allows fully automated dry or wet cutting of tubes from 1-20 mm diameter. The StarFeed L stores up to 48 tubes and even allows the processing of oval tubes. Its sensor-controlled gripping unit avoids damage. The end result is a big increase in productivity.
Cambus Medical's Coherent StarCut Tube laser-powered tub cutting machine and Select Laser Welders are used to achieve business success.
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.
