In the age of mass production, the demand for specialized,
high-quality components is higher than ever. Whether you're an
engineer developing a new product or a business replacing a legacy
component, the ability to create exactly what you need is crucial.
That's where custom sheet metal fabricators come in. Through custom
sheet metal fabrication processes and the precision of laser-cut
parts, these experts bridge the gap between your concept and a
functional, tangible product.

Types of Laser Cutting Machines
The main types of laser cutting machines vary based on their
application and laser type. Combination tube/flatbed laser cutting
machines are among the most common types of laser tube cutting
equipment, typically used for smaller jobs and offering versatility
(i.e., they can also cut flat parts). Standalone laser tube cutting
machines are specialized tube cutting systems designed solely for
tube cutting applications. They can process nearly any tube shape
(e.g., round, rectangular, octagonal, etc.) and accommodate long
stock lengths (3 feet or longer).
Laser cutting machines can be powered by either fiber lasers or CO2
lasers, depending on project requirements. Fiber lasers are
compatible with a wide range of materials and are generally
considered the most versatile type of laser. CO2 lasers, an upgrade
from plasma cutters, are better suited for specialty materials like
titanium due to their superior gas coverage compared to fiber
lasers. Both lasers offer relatively balanced power levels, making
them suitable for metalworking and eliminating the need for
secondary operations.
Lasers are specified by their wattage, with higher wattages
producing deeper and longer-lasting cuts. Laser tube cutting
machines are also categorized by the material size they can handle
(maximum plate/tube size, maximum material weight), required assist
gases (e.g., nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.), motor electrical
requirements (three-phase VAC, etc.), repeatability, and other
model-specific criteria. Some laser cutting machines also feature
built-in conveyors or stock handling mechanisms that automatically
feed the tube into the cutting section, enabling semi-automatic to
fully automatic operation.
Advantages and Disadvantages
The following are the advantages of the laser tube cutting process:
- Semi- to fully automated process with high throughput.
- Low/no material waste.
- Provides highly complex, clean, and repeatable cuts.
- Suitable for nearly all metals.
- Most/almost all tube stock up to 6" is accepted.
Disadvantages or limitations of laser tube cutting include the
following:
- Some cut materials may exhibit small halo discoloration due to
backsplatter or overspray near the cut edge.
- Small bumps or varying edge conditions may appear at the lead-in
and lead-out points of the cut profile.
- This process is typically used for thin-walled materials, typically
less than 0.500" to 1.000" thick.
