TEN-HIGH CO2 Glass Laser Tube 40W 700mm Length, 50mm Dia for Laser Engraving and Cutting Machine (UK Stock)

Product Information

If you are only engraving, then you could lose 50% of the power before it could start to affect your manufacturing. Overdriving the Tube So, how long does a laser tube last in reality? There is a common thought that CO2 Glass laser tubes degrade over time, even when not in use. Taking the lower 1000 hour warranty figure as an example, 1000 hours equates to approximately 6 weeks. The time it takes to deliver your laser tube replacement from China, could mean it’s already outside the manufacturers warranty when it arrives. Fortunately, good quality A-Grade tubes do not degrade in this way. Meaning that, with correct handling and usage it’s not unusual for Glass CO2 laser tubes to last 3~5 years. So how do you tell if your Laser Tube has failed under warranty? Running costs on a laser cutting and engraving machines are relatively low. However, the biggest consumable cost you will be faced with is replacing the laser tube. Get it wrong and you could be looking at replacing tubes every 3 months. With a little bit of planning, preparation and preventative maintenance you can generally prolong the lifespan of your tube significantly. These tips will help guide you to getting a decent tube and then to keep it in peak condition for as long as possible. 9 Tips On How To Get A Longer Life From Your Laser Tube 1. Your First Laser Tube: This laser is also highly intuitive, with a 5MP camera that allows you to preview jobs and accurately lay out your designs. The camera also allows you to extract the surface pattern of any object and cut or engrave the recognized pattern with a precision of 1000dpi, making it easy to achieve stunning results. This precision is equal to the xTool P2’s, but lower than the Glowforge Pro’s (1355dpi) for reference.

Engraving: F2 and F4 CO 2 Laser tubes have excellent performances in laser engraving,, under preionization conditions and a current of 5mA. (F2 CO 2 Laser tubes require a 4mA current). Our laser tubes can carry out high-frequency pulse engraving. Vitruk, Peter (2014). "Oral soft tissue laser ablative and coagulative efficiencies spectra". Implant Practice US. 6 (7): 22–27 . Retrieved 15 May 2015. The engraving resolution determines the precision you can achieve when engraving intricate designs. Machines like the Flux Beamo and Gweike Cloud Basic 2 have resolutions of 1000dpi, which is more than enough for most projects. It is important to bear in mind that the durability of the laser tube depends on its correct operation. With 55W of power, the P2 surpasses even the 50W Gweike model and far exceeds the 45W Glowforge Pro. Its professional-grade 600mm/sec speed is twice as fast as the Glowforge Pro (around 300mm/s), and also faster than the OMTech Polar (500mm/s).

cutting and structuring plastic materials, wood, die boards, glass pieces, etc., which exhibit high absorption at 10.6μm, mostly applying moderate power levels of 20–200W This laser equipment accessory features excellent beam quality, small spot, and fast response speed, making it widely used in laser marking machines and engraving machines. Long Service Life: Due to the galvanization of the catalyst inside and specially treated electrodes, the discharge tube has a better stability, and a long service life of up to 6,000 hours, ensuring long term reliable operations. F08 Upgraded laser lens inside the cavity offers good spot quality, making CO₂ the laser tube reach the quasi-TEM00 fundamental mode, with higher accuracy.

Executing regular maintenance of your laser cutter goes a long way to extending the usable lifespan of your tubes, whether they are glass or metal. The one caveat many manufacturers will mention is to be careful when using hydrochloric acid with glass tubes because it could damage the glass. If your DC tube is really soiled with sediment, carefully flush it repeatedly with a diluted 3% or 5% HCL solution until it’s clean. Remember to also flush the cooling system, which will reduce sediment and residue deposits. The life-time of laser tubes for laser engravers declared by manufacturers holds true for practically ideal conditions: the current under 25mA or no more than 40-50% from the maximum power, water cooling 10 l/min, water temperature 10°С.

The Flux Beamo 30 W is listed as an entry-level laser cutter, and it absolutely is in terms of ease-of-use, however, with this price point, we recommend it as an entry-level cutter for small businesses rather than individual use. The main difference between this model and the others on our list is its size and laser power. It’s the biggest, with a working area of 24”x16” (610x406mm), which is larger than the xTool P2 and far larger than the Polar 350. It also has passthrough doors, so you can feed through even longer materials. I’ve seen reports that the tubes are rated for 1000 or 2000 hours (I assume working hours). If the tubes are decent quality and you don’t overdrive them (see point 5 above) or overheat them, they should last much longer. The tubes appear to be 850mm long and are likely to comply with the stated 40~45 Watt power output. What Next? Carbon-dioxide lasers have become useful in surgical procedures because water (which makes up most biological tissue) absorbs this frequency of light very well. Some examples of medical uses are laser surgery and skin resurfacing ("laser facelifts", which essentially consist of vaporizing the skin to promote collagen formation). [9] CO 2 lasers may be used to treat certain skin conditions such as hirsuties papillaris genitalis by removing bumps or podules. CO 2 lasers can be used to remove vocal-fold lesions, [10] such as vocal-fold cysts. Researchers in Israel are experimenting with using CO 2 lasers to weld human tissue, as an alternative to traditional sutures. [11]

From September 4-6, the Shanghai International Advertising Exhibition, hailed by the industry as the "Oscar" of the global advertising industry, came to a close. Six major exhibition areas featured nearly 500 high-end advertising and digital industry manufacturers, and 2,000 quality brands appeared on the same stage, covering the entire industrial chain of laser engraving/cutting, signage, and advertising panels.As the tube degrades, the power output gradually decreases which leads to the user either increasing the power or slowing the cutting speed. Resulting in the tube running harder or longer than necessary. Some tubes contain a catalyst that recombines the Carbon Monoxide and Oxygen, replenishing the lost CO2, but some of the free oxygen can collect on the cathode (the low voltage end of the tube) giving it a yellow tint. This is how manufacturers can determine if the tube has been overdriven and refuse any warranty claim. Metallic laser tubes use radio frequency, RF, alternating current to excite the gas, making them better at pulsing. Along with their smaller spot size, these laser beams create engravings with fine detailing. The laser wavelength can be tuned by altering the isotopic ratio of the carbon and oxygen atoms comprising the CO The first thing to consider is your experience. If you’re new to the game of CNC machines, regardless of how experienced you are as an engraver or carver, then you’ll want an entry-level laser cutter. These will be the easiest to use and often the cheapest option available and ensure you’re not out of thousands if you make a mistake while learning.
