Advanced Tube Laser Cutting

Part optimisation is reaching unprecedented levels of efficiency thanks to the availability of 6-axis 3D cutting. The ubiquitous nature of tubes and profiles ensure a broad scope of opportunity to design more profitably. The ability to reduce materials, processes such as welding, and improve assembly times, are revealing routes to new markets for manufacturers.

Cutting, welding, milling and deburring processes add cost to a project. Access to a 3D laser tube cutting machine means designers have the ability to reduce processes for faster lead times and lower costs. Average cost reduction is around 50% with 85% cost reductions common.

Tube Laser Cutting FAQ's

Tube laser cutting is a method of utilising lasers to manipulate and cut hollow bar and tube, including structural sections and channels. A precise technique, tube laser cutting is an effective way of cutting a variety of materials, profiles, shapes, and sizes to exact specifications.

Utilising a high-powered laser and computer-aided design (CAD) software to ensure repeatable and accurate cuts, laser energy is used to melt and/or vaporise away material and create precise and narrow cuts in tubes, structural sections, and profile channels.

Laser tube cutting hosts a range of advantages, some of which include

  • Exceptional precision and accuracy:
    Laser technology allows for precise and intricate cuts, ensuring tight tolerances to +–.25mm and excellent finish quality
  • Versatility: Extremely versatile, tube laser cutting technology enables a wide range of materials to be cut in a variety of complex configurations through 5 axis cutting.
  • Efficiency: A quick and efficient process, tube laser cutting reduces production times and costs significantly.
  • Minimal Distortion: Using a highly-focused laser minimises heat-affected areas, including warping and distortion.
  • Complex shapes and designs: Tube laser cutting ensures the creation of complex shapes, designs, and configurations that other methods are simply not capable of.

Tube laser cutting allows for various types of tubes and parts to be cut in a range of configurations, including round, square, and even custom profiles. They can also handle a variety of sizes and thicknesses depending on tube laser cutting capabilities. For bespoke projects, contact The Laser Cutting Co. for more information.

Tube laser cutting offers a multitude of applications, typical industries include

  • Automotive and transport
  • Architecture and construction
  • Furniture and interior design
  • Manufacturing and fabrication

When selecting a tube laser cutting service provider, you should consider the following factors

  • Experience and expertise
  • Technology and capabilities
  • Quality, certifications and precision
  • Material and design flexibility
  • Turnaround time and cost
  • Trust and reliability

The costs of laser cutting can vary greatly depending upon certain factors, including materials, the time required for cutting, level of detail, delivery, and labour. Here at The Laser Cutting Co., 24-hour production paired with our suite of industry-defining laser cutting machines ensures that we are able to provide incredible lead times and provide thorough and cost-effective solutions.

The three major types of laser cutting include: 

  • Fusion Cutting – a cutting technique that cuts metal by melting them and then blowing out the molten remnants using a high-pressure stream of inert gas.
  • Remote Cutting: involves cutting very thin and delicate materials without the use of gas, as the laser itself is able to evaporate the material away.

Laser cutters are capable of the following…

  • Perforating
  • Cutting
  • Etching
  • Seaming
  • Engraving
  • Welding
  • Marking
  • Drilling

The kerf of a laser cutting machine is considerably thinner than the kerf of a sawblade, so is therefore capable of extremely detailed and refined cutting when compared to other methods of material cutting; with a cutting tolerance of +-0.25mm.

At The Laser Cutting Co., our laser cutting tolerances are unrivalled. With our professional suite of laser cutting machines, we are able to process sheet metal sizes up to 2500mm x 6000mm, and up to 50mm thick.
