What is Tube Laser Cutting?

Tube laser cutting is an advanced manufacturing process that uses a high-powered laser to cut, shape, or engrave metal tubes. Unlike traditional methods, laser cutting offers unparalleled precision, speed, and versatility, making it ideal for the construction and automotive industries. 

Whether working with circular, rectangular, or custom-shaped tubes, this technology ensures clean edges and consistent results, even for intricate designs.

Why Choose KNS Metals for Tube Laser Cutting?

At KNS Metals, we combine expertise with state-of-the-art equipment to provide superior tube laser cutting services. Here’s what sets us apart:

• High Precision: tube laser cutting offers exceptional accuracy,  assured to within +/-0.1 mm, leaving it capable of creating intricate designs and patterns on steel beams, sheet metal, tubes and cylinders with high precision.
• Speed and Efficiency: Due to its automation and the fact that no other tools will need to be exchanged within the process, tube laser cutting can significantly increase production speed compared to traditional mechanical alternatives, making it an ideal solution for small and large-volume orders.
• Versatility: This technology can be applied to a wide range of materials, including metal, plastic, wood, glass, and more.
• Consistent Quality: A tube laser level provides excellent repeatability, ensuring each cut is consistent with the last, regardless of production volume. This investment guarantees quality with mass-produced items created in a short time.
• Minimised Material Waste: The precision of sheet & tube laser cutting results in minimal waste, making it a far more environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for engineers to adopt.
• No Contact Cutting: As a non-contact process, tube laser cutting eliminates tool wear and deformation associated with traditional mechanical cutting methods.
• Flexibility: Able to accommodate changes quickly, this approach is highly suitable for custom jobs and prototypes, eliminating the need for expensive tooling changes.
• Reduced Post-Processing: High-quality cuts often require little to no post-processing and after-treatment, saving both time and money in the overall production process.

Applications of Tube Laser Cutting

The versatility of tube laser cutting makes it indispensable across numerous industries. Here are some of its most common applications:

Construction and Infrastructure

Precision is essential for constructions to meet specific regulations and standards, be durable, and withstand weather events. This technique is being increasingly incorporated into construction tasks, as it delivers precision with unique and bespoke designs.

The sheer speed of this form of fabrication enables you to improve your project lead times and increase your economy of scale by producing multiple components simultaneously.

Automotive Industry

Develop high-precision components, including exhaust systems, frames, and brackets, that meet stringent industry standards.

Mining

The requirements of mining operations are more diverse than those of almost any other industry, which is why the tube technique is the ideal solution. The automated process and the absence of the need to change tools enable a wide variety of products to be cut into shape in a very short period, making this process ideal for all mining operations. This extends to replacement parts for machinery.

Architectural Design

Craft intricate designs for facades, railings, and decorative elements that elevate aesthetics while maintaining structural integrity.

Manufacturing

Streamline production with accurate cuts that reduce material wastage and assembly errors, making the process more cost-effective.

Furniture and Fixtures

Design custom tubular furniture, frames, and fixtures with precision cuts that enhance functionality and style.

Creative Projects

From sculptures to art installations, laser tube cutting enables unparalleled freedom to create intricate and unique designs.

Shopfitting and Retail Fit Outs

You don’t have to adopt a cookie-cutter approach and use off-the-shelf fit-out options for your brick-and-mortar outlet(s). Lasers enable you to achieve precise, bespoke fit-out solutions, tailoring your shopfront to meet your requirements and making it more attractive to customers.
