Laser tube cutting machines: principle, types and advantages

With continuous advancements in technology in various industries, the demand for metal pipes is increasing and pipe processing technology has become increasingly developed and sophisticated.

The introduction of laser tube cutting machines has significantly improved the quality and efficiency of tube processing.

It is known that any new technology goes through a period of development and growth after its introduction.

For new technology to distance itself from traditional methods, it must have unique advantages.

Laser Tube Cutting Machine

1. Principle of laser tube cutting machine

The operating principle of a laser tube cutting machine is to utilize a laser beam to produce thermal energy, which is then used in conjunction with a moving mechanical system to carry out the tube cutting process. The intelligent system manages the cutting process, thus increasing production efficiency.

2. Type of laser tube cutter

There are four main types of laser tube cutting machines:

  • Three Chuck Laser Tube Cutting Machine
  • Fully Automatic Laser Tube Cutting Machine
  • Semi-automatic laser cutting machine
  • Manual Laser Cutting Machine

These laser tube cutting machines are capable of cutting square tubes, round tubes, I-beams, and specialized shaped tubes made from materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, iron, seamless, galvanized, and other metallic materials. They are capable of performing a variety of processing tasks, including cutting, chamfering, opening and 45-degree slot cutting.

3. Advantages of laser tube cutting machine

1. Flexibility.

Optical fiber laser tube cutting machine has the ability to cut patterns on metal tubes flexibly. The laser is capable of cutting in any direction and angle, providing robust and favorable technical support for increasingly personalized processing. This eliminates the need to open the mold for initial cutting, reducing the cost associated with opening the mold on traditional equipment.

2. Accuracy.

Compared to traditional cutting equipment such as flame cutting, plasma cutting and water cutting, laser cutting of metal materials offers much higher precision. Furthermore, during processing, different materials may have slight telescopic deformation, and the laser tube cutting machine can adjust accordingly, which is not possible through many traditional processes.

Optical fiber laser tube cutting machine is specifically designed for tube processing customers, filling the gap in tube processing technology in China. It has become an advanced product in the equipment management industry with features such as easy operation, high automation, fast and accurate cutting, and the ability to meet the demands of mass production.

This machine has been successfully used in various metal pipe processing industries, including fitness equipment, agricultural machinery, residential piping, construction machinery, vehicle manufacturing, specialty vehicles, electrical appliance manufacturing and more. It has powerful cutting capabilities, capable of cutting square tubes, round tubes, rectangular tubes and various specialized shaped tubes.

The machine has rack and pinion transmission structure, pneumatic clamping chuck and rotary tube cutting mode, ensuring high precision in centering and machining. The equipment has undergone annealing processing to eliminate internal stresses, resolving any stress caused by welding and processing, and improving the rigidity and stability of the machine. This leads to better stability and a longer service life.

The processing system has a user-friendly interface and convenient operation, and provides real-time feedback on the processing status, ensuring orderly processing.
