There are various types of impact beam tubes, each with differentpurposes in mind. The main types that you will be seeing is thedirect beam and the multiple beam tube, both of which will bediscussed here, to help you understand how they work. You willalso get to find out how they can be used for variousapplications in the industry as well as how they are made, andwhy they are so popular in so many industries.
These are the basic types of impact beam tubes, and have beenaround for decades. They consist of a single or multiple lens andhave a large, high-powered light source, often a laser light.Some of the light from these beams can be reflected back throughthe different lenses, and the light can then be seen at anyangle, giving a uniform amount of light that can be used as abeam of light. However, many of these beams can become combinedand become stronger and more concentrated than ever before. Theyalso tend to become less directional, and in some cases evenbecome completely spherical in shape.
Low carbon,heat-treatable boron steel used in the manufacture ofstructural parts requiring heat treatments to achieve highstrength.Press hardened steel can be pre-formed and subsequentlyhot-stamped and die quenched,butpost-forming should not be thescope for this typeof steel.Typical applications include doorimpact beams,bumper impact beams,and reinforcements for impactstructures.
We also have beam impact tubes and side impact beams.
