The metal laser cutting machine uses the focused high power density laser beam to irradiate the workpiece, so that the irradiated material can quickly melt, vaporize, ablate or reach the ignition point. At the same time, the molten material can be blown off with the help of the high-speed air flow coaxial with the beam, thus cutting the workpiece.

Laser cutting has the advantages of fast cutting speed, high cutting efficiency, smooth cutting surface, small heat affected area, etc. In fact, metal laser cutting machines have been popularized in various industries in China. What are the mainstream applications in?

1.What Industries Are The Mainstream Applications Of Laser Cutting?

1.1Automobile Industry

Many corners in the automotive industry, such as car doors, car roof exhaust pipes, are formed. If manual work is used, the first accuracy is difficult to achieve, and the efficiency is reduced a lot. For example, laser cutting is used for punching and trimming the template of automobiles, especially in the development of new models and small batch production. 3D laser cutting can not only save a lot of molds, but also greatly shorten the development cycle of new models. Therefore, the use of laser cutting machine can quickly batch and accurately process the manufacturing of various parts.

1.2Tooling Industry

Due to the fast speed and flexible cutting of metal laser cutting machine, many complex graphics can be rapidly formed. As long as customers want, they can directly use relevant materials to cut out after drawing through CAD or PS. Customization has no problem at all. It can greatly meet the needs of users and create diversified products.

1.3Agricultural Machinery Industry

The continuous development of agriculture and the renewal of various agricultural machinery. The types of agricultural machinery products are characterized by localization and specialization. The type selection of agricultural machinery products has been accelerated and the economic benefits have been improved by following the classification of processing vehicles and processing objects, the advanced clear processing technology of laser cutting machines, the mapping system and the data pulling technology.

2.What Role Does The Laser Cutting Machine Play In The Automobile Manufacturing Industry

With the development of laser application technology, laser cutting technology has been widely used in automobile parts, automobile body, automobile door frame, automobile trunk, automobile roof cover and other aspects, basically covering all application fields of automobile manufacturing industry.

The laser cutting machine has the characteristics of processing high-precision, porous and complex shaped accessories. Compared with the traditional cutting methods, the efficiency and accuracy are low, which is very suitable for the needs of modern automobile manufacturing industry for refinement and low cost. It plays an irreplaceable role in other digital cutting equipment in the automobile manufacturing industry.

Moreover, laser cutting technology has many advantages in the production of automobile parts:

1. High precision, positioning accuracy of about 0.05mm. 2. The slit is narrow, and the laser beam is focused into a small light spot, which makes the focus reach a very high power density. The material is heated to the extent of gasification, and then evaporates to form holes.With the relative linear movement of the light beam and the material, the hole continuously forms a very narrow slit. 3. The cutting surface shall be smooth without burrs. Therefore, this kind of equipment is very feasible in the automobile industry.

3.Development Trend Of Laser Cutting Technology And Automobile Manufacturing

Today's automobile manufacturing industry is becoming more and more competitive, constantly introducing new products. As an important manifestation of the integration of new technologies and high-end equipment, automobile manufacturing reflects the highest level of national manufacturing industry. In automobile manufacturing, laser processing technology and equipment have become the development direction of international automobile manufacturing.

Today, 50% - 70% of auto parts are completed by laser technology. The precision of traditional manual technology is difficult to achieve, followed by low efficiency. Whether from a technical or economic point of view, laser cutting is a very effective processing means. At present, more than 20 kinds of laser material processing and processing technologies have been developed, and some processing methods are relatively mature, such as laser cutting, laser cladding, laser welding, etc., which have been widely used in many industries.

HGTECH can provide automobile manufacturing with processing and application technologies covering body in white welding, automobile parts manufacturing, PMS production data management and other aspects. It has a variety of laser processes such as cutting, marking, welding, etc., to meet the different needs of enterprises, and can better cooperate with the development of automobile industry to provide better technology.

Moreover, the automobile manufacturing industry is an industry with very concentrated new technologies to meet the needs of export and domestic upgrading. The production of small batches and multiple varieties of vehicles has become normal. The original processing technology of GM body parts can not fully meet the needs of current product quality and production. Now, automobiles are required not only to be practical in performance, but also to be economical and beautiful. The speed of upgrading is increasing, The update and development of technology and configuration are closely linked with the development of automobile manufacturing industry.
