The Piptox HVA-860 Series is designed for precision laser cutting of small diameter tubes for medical devices such as surgical instruments, stents and other implantable devices. The combination of a granite base, precision servo drives, rigid work holding, fiber-delivered laser sources and Piptox optimized fine cutting head offers unmatched precision and productivity.

The Piptox HVA-860 small diameter tube laser cutting system is built around a granite base and bridge to ensure stable and accurate laser cuts.

Features

Granite Base and Bridge

An isolated rigid and stable base provides superior part accuracy and quality of cut

Wet Cutting

An integrated water pump can be used in applications where water cooling of the tube is required.

Fiber Laser

As standard, this system has a single-mode fiber-delivered laser. Additional laser sources can be integrated to meet specific customer requirements.

Class I Safety Enclosure

A well-designed enclosure provides excellent part access during set-up and maintenance while providing CDRH Class I protection during operation.

X-Axis and Rotary Motion

The tube periphery cutting is controlled by a linear motor X-axis and a brushless direct drive servo motor for the rotary axis. The accuracy for the X-axis is ± 7 microns and ± 50 arc-seconds for the rotary axis.

Piptox Fine Cutting Head  

The Piptox fine cutting head was designed and built specifically for thin wall laser cutting with a clean edge and minimal thermal input. The head utilizes three focusing lenses and power modulation to minimize the damaging effects of tube back wall laser strikes.

Y and Z Axis Motion

The Y-Z stage is ball screw driven incorporating brushless servo motors with accuracies of ± 5 microns for the Y-axis and ± 20 microns for the Z-axis. The programmable Y and Z-axis motion produces parallel wall features while off-axis cutting.
