The laser helps to optimize the fabrication process in tube processing. In one single operation, holes and complex contours are produced and the tube cut to size. Compared with conventional processes (sawing, scribing, drilling, milling and punching), the laser tube cutting system can help achieve substantially lower manufacturing costs.
Laser Cutting Tube Systems
New tube designs are constantly being developed that reduce or simplify downstream production steps. The use of kink or plug-in connections reduces both welding fixtures and expenses. Positioning aids with pegs and cutouts facilitate component assembly. Coding aids eliminate assembly errors.
For their developments, design engineers increasingly tap into the possibilities offered by laser tube processing. The demand for laser-cut tubes is expected to continue grow.
