Laser Tube Cutting Applications & Technical Job Capabilities
5-axis Laser Tube Cutting Services
* Rotary tooling can be used simultaneously with our 5-axis beam director to provide an extra dimension of cutting to our process. By using this we can precisely cut tubing up to 12" in diameter without even breaking a sweat (literally). We have a rotary table on every machine, due to the extra precision and lower tooling cost associated with using them. These rotary tables can also be used for a variety of other 3D parts that require more precise cutting angles and smaller more intricate parts.
Precision Laser Tube Cutting Capabilities
- Accurate to ± .001" depending on the tooling and other factors
- Cutting capacity: 6' x 8' x 4' work envelope
- Auto focus control (AFC)
- Auto feed rate/power control (maintains constant energy input to material, minimizing heat affected zone, reducing thermal distortion)
- Complex shapes are cut with Simultaneous Linear and Rotary Motion (seen below)
-
Tubing can be cut from 20' length stock
- Material thickness:
- up to 0.30" Carbon Steel
- up to 0.25" Stainless Steel
- up to 0.18" Aluminum
- up to 0.20" Titanium, and various alloys
- Organic materials (such as plastics, carbon fiber, etc.) thickness varies.
