With the development of laser cutting technology, laser cutting plays an irreplaceable role in the field of metal products. From plate cutting to three-dimensional pipe cutting, laser cutting gradually changes. At present, about 1000 sets of automatic pipe laser cutting systems have been installed in Europe and North America. In recent years, the number of installations in the Far East and South Africa has also increased. The total number of new installations is increasing at a rate of about 20% per year.

Pipe cutting includes pipe blank cutting, pipe wall blocking, grooving, and processing various intersecting line shapes at the end of pipe structure. Commonly used are mechanical cutting, punching cutting and laser pipe cutting. If the production batch is not large, mechanical cutting methods are mainly used, such as turning, milling, circular saw cutting, grinding wheel cutting, etc. the main problems are low production power and large environmental infection. As a new processing product, laser tube cutting machine is gradually entering the tube cutting market. The laser pipe cutting machine is mainly used to cut various hollow round pipes of non-metallic solid materials, which is compared to industrial and civil materials such as plastic pipes, PVC pipes and PVB pipes. This kind of pipe is mainly used in home decoration, industry and water conservancy construction.

The cutting principle of the laser pipe cutting machine is not much different from that of the plane laser cutting machine. As a special laser cutting machine, the laser pipe cutting machine mainly performs laser cutting on standard metal pipes (round pipes, rectangular pipes, elliptical pipes, etc.), profiles (channel steel, angle steel, etc.) and some special-shaped pipes. Compared with the traditional processing technology, its advantages are as follows:

First, due to the non-contact processing, the heat affected zone of the laser pipe cutting machine is very small, and there is almost no thermal deformation. The high-quality and more unique machine can be manufactured without oxidation, which is conducive to subsequent automatic welding;

Second, the cutting accuracy is high, the contour accuracy can reach ± 0.05m, and the incision is flat, without burr, the slit is thin, and the material loss is small;

Third, the cutting power is high, and the mass production may be completed. All operations of the laser pipe cutting machine may be integrated into a unified unit as a continuous operation process, greatly reducing the logistics time. The length of the standard pipe is 6 meters, and the traditional processing method requires very heavy clamping. However, laser processing may be very simple to complete the clamping and positioning of several meters long pipes, which makes batch processing or.

Finally, it is flexible. The laser pipe cutting machine is controlled by the digital system, which is also one of the advantages of the laser pipe cutting machine in cutting pipes. Digital system control is very important, it can ensure accuracy and mobility. The laser tube cutting machining technique can process the shape of any machining program that has been prepared, and can finish cutting in any direction. The shape of the template can be quickly modified without the help of any goods. 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 production of short or medium versions without making many templates, so that the user can respond to the needs of customers and meet the needs of personalized customization. It can be seen that the laser pipe cutting machine can replace the mechanical drilling, milling, sawing, punching or cleaning the burr and other processing procedures that require different equipment and hard goods, and complete the cutting, chamfering, grooving or hole, scoring and other standard and shape characteristics processing of the chaotic pipe structure.

It can be seen that the professional laser pipe cutting machine can replace the processing procedures of mechanical drilling, milling, sawing, punching or cleaning of burrs and other equipment and hard tools that require different metal pipe processing, and realize the cutting, chamfering, grooving or hole, scoring and other possible size and shape characteristics of complex pipe structures. It can be widely used in sheet metal processing, kitchen utensils, lamps, automobiles, medical devices, hardware Fitness equipment and other industries.

With the rapid increase of the output value and cost of stainless steel pipes in China, the equipment of laser pipe cutting machine is rapidly spreading in our country. The need for CNC pipe cutting personnel and laser pipe cutting machine skills is also rapidly increasing, and its development deserves attention.
