Ohio Laser LLC recently added advanced laser tube cutting technologies. Although laser tube cutting is a sophisticated process, cutting tubes with lasers greatly lowers production costs for a wide variety of products.
Ohio Laser’s new laser tube cutting system cuts carbon steel tubes to .625 inch thickness, stainless steel tubes to .25 inch thickness, aluminum tubes to .125 inch thickness and boasts 3000 Watts of tube cutting power.
Using the CAD driven tube cutting machine, Ohio Laser can process various shapes including oval tubes, round tubes, square tubes and rectangular tubes with outside dimensions of up to 6 inch round and between .75 and 4 inch square.
This laser tube cutting system lowers weld fixture investments and raises productivity by employing plug in connections or kinking capabilities.
The system’s awesome production tube cutting capabilities includes tube cutting speed up to 2362 inches per minute, an automatic pallet changer and focusing that is programmable.
In this respect the auto feeder handles 21 foot long carbon steel tubes, stainless steel tubes and aluminum tubes that are up to .25 inches thick. Companies wishing to process tubes up to 24 feet long can take advantage of manual loading feature.
Some laser tube cutting benefits include almost unlimited cutting configurations, elimination of stack up tolerances inherent in multiple operations, no tooling charges, reduced lot sizes and processing of a wide variety of metal alloys.
Industrial production tube cutting technology at Ohio Laser also permits faster production of frames, racks, supports, trusses, manifolds or any other item from cut tubes.
Various manufactured components produced using laser tube cutting include all terrain vehicles (ATVs) like go karts and four wheelers, ornamental railing, medical beds, adjustable basketball systems, shelving, warehouse racking systems, wheel chairs, store fixtures, food guards, point of purchase display systems, outdoor signage and bed frames.
