What is Tube Laser Cutting Machine?

Tube laser cutting machine is a high-end mechanical equipment for precision processing and cutting of pipes. It is generally composed of a laser generator, a load-bearing bed, a cutting head, a pipe clamping chuck, a cooling device and a control system. The working principle of the laser pipe cutting machine is not much different from that of the laser cutting machine, but as a special equipment, the pipe cutting machine mainly conducts laser cutting for standard metal pipes (round pipes, rectangular pipes, elliptical pipes, etc.), shaped steel (channel steel, angle steel, etc.) and some special-shaped pipes.

Why Replace Traditional Equipment with Tube Laser Cutting Machine?

The traditional stainless steel pipe cutting method mostly uses saw blade cutting. From manual to semi-automatic, and then to full-automatic, the saw blade cutting technology has reached the ceiling, and its pipe cutting efficiency can no longer be improved. At this time, the laser pipe cutting technology entered the pipe industry, which is very suitable for the cutting of various metal pipes. It has the characteristics of high automation, high efficiency and high yield. For pipes made of different materials, there is no need to replace the corresponding saw blade and stop midway, which is very suitable for mass production. Moreover, the traditional pipe processing methods have many steps, requiring sawing, milling, blanking, and drilling etc. On the contrary, laser pipe cutting only requires one equipment and one operator, greatly improving efficiency, reducing costs, and forming competitive differentiation.

Advantages of Tube Laser Cutting Machine:

1. Small heat-affected zone

Because of the non-contact processing, the heat-affected zone of the laser pipe cutting machine is very small, which almost does not produce thermal deformation. The oxidation-free machine can produce high-quality, more unique machines, which is conducive to subsequent automatic welding.

2. High cutting accuracy

Its contour accuracy can reach ± 0.05m, and the incision is flat, no burrs produce, the slit is fine, and the material loss is smal.

3. High cutting efficiency

All operations of the laser pipe cutting machine can be regarded as a continuous operation process and be unified, which greatly reduces the logistics time. The length of the standard pipe is 6 meters, and the traditional processing method requires very heavy clamping, while laser processing may be very simple to complete the clamping and positioning of several meters of pipe, which makes batch processing become possible.

4. Good flexibility

The laser pipe cutting machine is controlled by digital system, which is also one of the advantages of the machine. Digital system control is very important to ensure its accuracy and mobility. The laser pipe cutting machining technique can process any shape that has been programmed, and can complete the cutting in any direction. The profile of the template can be modified quickly without any help. Even at the last minute, the design plan can be modified without affecting the production process of all products. The greater advantage is that the end user can control the short version or medium version production, instead of making many templates, which can quickly respond to customer needs and meet personalized customization needs.

It can be seen that the laser pipe cutting machine can replace the machining processes requiring different equipment and hard goods such as mechanical drilling, milling, sawing, stamping or cleaning up the rough edges, and complete the blanking, cutting, chamfering, grooving or hole cutting, nicking, and other standard and shape characteristics processing of confused pipe structures.

Which Field can Tube Laser Cutting Machine Work in?

Today, the tube laser cutter has been widely used in the production and manufacturing of sheet metal parts, sanitary appliances, lighting fixtures, automobile manufacturing, medical equipment, hardware processing, fitness equipment and other fields.

4. Profile SERIES

Farley Laserlab oil slotting pipe laser cutting machine adopts advanced technology, which can cut different type of oil slotting pipe. By means of focusing, high density and high-power laser beam working on sieve pipe, on the premise of exceeding a threshold value of laser power density, heat energy from working gas and laser beam’s chemical reaction is absorbed by material, thus causing a dramatic increase in the temperature of laser sport on the surface of the casing, partial melting or gasification of workpiece material to form a hole, then relative motion of the casing and laser beam can achieve casing cutting.
