The flexibility of the laser makes it suitable

for a wide range of marking applications on

steel tubes. Tubes often require marking

for quality control purposes and to enable

part traceability. In these instances it is

essential that the mark is permanent, clear

and applied in the shortest time.

Rofin has developed a concept which

enables tubes to be marked on-the-fly.

With this system integrated into a tube

production line, it can be used to mark part

numbers, production dates and times, bar

codes, data-matrix codes and ascending or

descending serial numbers.

The laser marking process is not affected

by surface impurities such as the thin film

of oil that may be present due to the tube

forming process.

Italian company Dimensione Laser has

been using lasers for processing tubes

and flat sheet for more than ten years.

The company now has a total of five tube

cutting systems installed, each of which

uses a Rofin CO

2

slab laser.

The systems are used to produce a large

variety of different parts, many of which are

low volume items. Advantages include low

maintenance, high uptime, minimal gas

consumption, and the flexibility of the lasers.

The thermal load on components that are cut

using lasers is also minimal, as demonstrated

by Rofin’s StarCut tube system. It is used to

precisely and quickly manufacture miniature

and intricate components such as 200µm

diameter medical stents.

The laser cutting process is not restricted

to small and thin section parts. Large parts

can be cut reliably and quickly by laser,

from simple web cuts to complex notch and

contour cuts.
