Laser Cutting
We can laser cut tube, using our laser cutting services, with outside diameters from 0.25mm to 20.0mm. Some straightforward examples of laser-cut tubes, including stainless steel tubes, are shown below. This is an economical method of making tube components which have several features such as holes, slots, shaped ends and can be of varying metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and copper. Spiral spring forms can be made by cutting a spiral along the tube, increasing its flexibility as shown below. Stents for use in medical devices are commonly made from nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) using this laser process, so that a burr-free, precision cut is produced.
To see our laser cutting services please see our animation which shows how our machine performing its laser-cutting operation.
Specialist high-frequency pico-second lasers are now being developed which can cut through metal and ceramic materials without leaving a heat-affected zone, so that the surface around the cut no longer requires post-finishing such as pickling or polishing.
