Knowing What Tube Laser Cutting Involves



When you think about laser cutting services in Toronto, you might be thinking of high-speed cutting first which could be true. However, when it comes to laser tube cutting, speed is relative and it is more about the time it needs to process a tube to satisfy the required specifications than the tube’s actual cutting speed. A laser cutter that cuts sheet metal can change out a sheet merely in seconds. While the same can be said about the laser tube cutting machine, it is a whole different story as to the process of doing it.


When it comes to this kind of laser cutting services in Toronto, there is really no standard material that stands up but the most efficient of the tube material handling is bundle loader. It feeds one tube at a time from the bundle into the laser machine through its singularizing system. As such, this kind of feeding mechanism does not work well with other profiles apart from tubes such as channels or angles. This is primarily because the pieces interlock while still inside the bundle loader and do not come out quite easily. Thus, a step loader is often for those profiles apart from the tube which is able to correct the orientation of the metal.


In most laser cutting services in Toronto, variety is the name of the game and this applies to the operation of tube laser cutting machines. It is common to see different variety of sizes of the parts that come from one tube. And mind you, the tubes are not that small and usually come in a standard size of 20 feet. The tube laser machine should be capable of unloading parts that range in various sizes, from as small as 2” and as long as 15’. Finally, it also must be able to unload the laser-cut parts without causing damage.
