The future advantage of laser pipe cutting machine?

With the maturity and rapid development of laser technology, it has begun to be widely used in many industries. The laser cutting technology has also developed from sheet metal cutting to metal pipe cutting. The birth and application of the laser pipe cutting machine has improved the processing efficiency of metal pipes. This article mainly analyzes the advantages of laser pipe cutting machines, as well as the classification and characteristics of mainstream laser pipe cutting machines on the market, and looks forward to the development trend of laser pipe cutting machines.

Advantages of laser pipe cutting machine

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 is mainly for standard metal pipes (round pipes, rectangular pipes, elliptical pipes, etc.) and profiles (channel steel). , Angle steel, etc.) and some special-shaped pipes for laser cutting, compared with the traditional processing technology, its advantages are the following aspects: (1) high cutting accuracy, contour accuracy can reach ±0.05mm. (2) The incision is flat, without burrs, and the slit is fine, with little material loss. (3) Non-contact processing, and the heat-affected zone of laser cutting is very small, and there is almost no deformation. (4) The cutting efficiency is high, and mass production can be realized. (5) Good flexibility, the numerical control system and kit programming software used can be changed or replaced at any time.

It can be seen that the laser pipe cutting machine can replace mechanical drilling, milling, sawing, punching or cleaning of burrs and other processing procedures that require different metal pipe processing equipment and hard tools, and realize the cutting of complex pipe structures. It can be widely used in sheet metal processing, kitchen utensils, lamps, automobiles, equipment, hardware, fitness equipment and other industries.

Classification and characteristics of laser pipe cutting machine

With the rapid growth of metal pipe production and consumption in my country, laser pipe cutting machine equipment is rapidly popularizing in my country. At present, there are many types of laser pipe cutting machines on the market, which can be roughly divided into two categories according to the axial feeding method of pipes.

Fixed material cutting laser pipe cutting machine

This type of laser pipe cutting machine only processes fixed-length pipes. It is mostly used to process the contours of the pipe surface with constant axis and changing cross-section. Both ends of the pipe cannot be processed. Although the fixed-material cutting laser pipe cutting machine has great limitations and The production efficiency is low, but because of its specificity it also occupies a large market share. Figure 1 shows the decorative patterns processed on the surface of the lamp pole and lampshade by the fixed-material cutting laser tube cutting machine.
