Advantages of tube-laser cutting at Dumaco
Dumaco is the leading expert in sheet-metal processing. From laser cutting to (robotic) welding. For the processing of your tubes and pipes too! Our years of experience and the very latest technology guarantee quality. We believe that collaboration is the secret to a good product. So, our experts communicate with you to ensure you get the end product you have in mind. When doing this, we always consider the need for a sustainable design, wasting as little material as possible.
From design to end product
As the customer, you design the product yourself, choose the type of material to be used and supply the design in the form of a 3D drawing. Next, it’s over to our specialists to turn your design into an excellent end product. Naturally, we will share our thoughts and ideas with you in every phase, including the design phase. Would you like to submit a 3D design? If so, see the conditions below. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Tube-laser cutting
This is tube-laser cutting
Tube-laser cutting involves the use of a laser beam to process long metal profiles into a finished product or semi-finished product. We mainly use nitrogen when laser cutting. This avoids the generation of an oxide layer, which is important if the cut pieces have to be coated as well. The use of nitrogen while cutting enables us to cut steel with a wall thickness of 5 mm or more.
Tube-laser cutting versus drilling and sawing
Laser-cutting tubes and pipes has advantages over ‘traditional’ methods like sawing and drilling. In actual fact, laser cutting technology is replacing a number of operations, making it possible to achieve improved speed and precision. The high production speed also paves the way for a big reduction in your total production costs.
Different tube-laser-cutting methods
Bij Dumaco kunt u op drie verschillende manieren buislaseren. Neem contact op met onze experts om te kijken welke methode het meest geschikt is voor uw project.
- 90°-snijden. Alle contouren worden haaks (90°) op het buisoppervlak gesneden en de buis of koker roteert onder lasersnijkop door. Hierdoor ontstaat er loodrecht op de wanddikte een snede. Dit is de meeste eenvoudige en snelle manier van snijden en dus zeer kostenefficiënt .
- XY-snijden. Bij het snijden beweegt de lasersnijkop langs de X- en Y as over de koker. Hierdoor ontstaat er een snede loodrecht op het horizontale vlak. Deze methode is extra nauwkeurig, maar valt daarom ook hoger uit qua productietijd en kosten.
- 2.5D snijden. Er wordt gebruikt gemaakt van alle mogelijk assen van de machine, inclusief het kantelen van de lasersnijkop. Dit maakt het mogelijk om contouren onder een hoek van maximaal 45° te snijden. Dit heeft wederom invloed op de snijsnelheid en de uiteindelijke kosten.
