In addition to our pipe and tube bending services, Sharpe now offers Fiber Optic Tube Laser Services! Our new state-of-the-art 3,000 watt BLM Fiber Optic Tube Laser has many advantages over the traditional CO2 tube lasers with its unique cutting capabilities and its increased production speed. With this new addition to our already lean CNC all-electric tube bending machines we now can take traditionally costly fabrication services, such as making holes, slots, and notches, and have them done in a more time efficient and cost-effective way. Saving you time and money on your projects.
CAPACITY FOR THE FIBER OPTIC TUBE LASER: This tube laser can handle up to 6″ O.D. round tube and up to 5″ square tube.*
MATERIAL CAPABILITIES: With its unique ability to process highly reflective materials, the fiber optic tube laser can not only cut traditional materials such as steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, but it can also cut copper, brass, bronze, and galvanized pipe. Aluminum up to 3/8″ thick can be also be cut.**
HANDRAIL & ORNAMENTAL APPLICATIONS: Making copes, notches, holes and more has never been so easy! In seconds the fiber optic tube laser can make coped ends, holes and make cut-offs. Virtually any geometric design can be rapidly created and easily cut.
Delivery for our new tube laser set for May 2012. We are now quoting for production time starting in June! Call 1-800-879-4418 today to discuss your tube laser needs or REQUEST A QUOTE!
NOTES: *When considering our fiber optic tube laser services for your custom projects, please note that material can NOT exceed 10.2 lbs a foot.
**Cutting up to 3/8″ aluminum does have some limitations due to outside diameter dimensions. Please call for more information on these restrictions.

The Sharpe Team just finished a custom bent and fabricated trade show display meant to hold motors. The display was bent out of 3″ O.D. aluminum tubing (base arms) and also 1-1/2″ O.D. aluminum tubing (top of display for signage). All the shaped base and arm plates are 3/8″ thick aluminum. The complete display was then polished with a #4 satin finish. Our customer then put a diamond plate finish on the top of the plates.
The taller back arms of this display were bent out of 1-1/2" O.D. aluminum tubing. The main arms that hold the aluminum plates were bent out of 3" O.D. aluminum tubing.
All aluminum plates and bent aluminum tubing were also fabricated together in Sharpe Products facilities.

The Nissin tube bender is ideal for complex parts for production of prototypes, high volume production, and ornamental applications.
Read about Sharpe Products Nissin 3D tube bender in the November 2010 issue of The Fabricator to see the extraordinary advantages that this tube bender has over conventional bending machines. By adding the Nissin tube bender to our capabilities, Sharpe can offer unique tube bending, and pipe bending services that most contract manufacturer/job shops can not.
