A tube laser cutting machine can replace several conventional operations by cutting profiles to length while also producing holes, slots, notches, joint features and complex contours in one programmed process. However, choosing the right tube laser is not as simple as comparing laser power or maximum tube diameter. Two machines may both be described as […]
Laser power is only one part of a successful laser cutting process. The gas delivered through the cutting nozzle also plays a major role in determining whether molten material can be removed from the kerf, whether the cutting edge oxidizes, how stable the process remains and how much the finished part will cost to produce.

Hot-formed automotive parts combine complex three-dimensional geometry with high material strength. After forming and hardening, many components still require final trimming, hole cutting, slotting or contour correction before they can enter welding and body-in-white assembly. Conventional flatbed laser cutting machines are designed for two-dimensional sheet metal and cannot maintain the required cutting-head orientation around a

Laser cutting is one of the most widely used processes in modern manufacturing. It is used to produce sheet metal parts, tubes, structural profiles, automotive components, machinery parts, enclosures and many other products. However, the term “laser cutting” can refer to several different technologies. A flatbed fiber laser cutting machine, a tube laser cutter, a

Choosing a fiber laser cutting machine can be difficult because machines with similar table sizes and laser power may deliver very different results in real production. A quotation may highlight laser power, maximum cutting thickness and machine speed. However, these specifications do not fully explain whether the system can process your typical materials efficiently, maintain

When manufacturers begin comparing laser cutting machines, the first two questions are usually: Both questions matter, but neither is enough to determine whether a machine will be suitable for your production. Two laser cutting machines with similar power ratings can perform very differently when processing real parts. Machine architecture, motion control, workholding, software, automation, service
