What is the application of laser tube cutting machine in tube processing?

With the continuous advancement of industrial technology, laser tube cutting machines, as an efficient and precise processing equipment, have been widely used in the field of tube processing. Laser tube cutting machines use high-energy-density laser beams to cut tubes. They have the advantages of fast cutting speed, high precision, and good cutting quality, and can meet the processing needs of complex shapes and high-precision requirements.

1. Working principle of laser tube cutting machine

The working principle of the laser tube cutting machine is mainly to generate a high-energy-density laser beam through a laser generator, which is focused by an optical system to form a high-power-density laser beam and irradiate the surface of the tube. The laser beam interacts with the surface of the tube to quickly melt, vaporize or reach the ignition point of the material, and at the same time, the molten material is blown away by auxiliary gases (such as oxygen, nitrogen, etc.), thereby achieving cutting. Laser tube cutting machines are usually equipped with a CNC system that can automatically complete the cutting task of complex shapes according to the preset cutting path and parameters.

2. Advantages of laser tube cutting machine

High-precision cutting: The laser tube cutting machine can achieve micron-level cutting accuracy, the incision is smooth and burr-free, and no subsequent processing is required, which greatly improves processing efficiency and product quality.

Fast cutting speed: The speed of laser cutting is much higher than that of traditional mechanical cutting methods, especially when cutting thin-walled pipes, the efficiency improvement is particularly significant.

Strong adaptability: Laser tube cutting machines can cut a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloy, copper, etc., and can adapt to tubes of different shapes and sizes.

High degree of automation: Laser tube cutting machines are usually equipped with CNC systems, which can realize automatic operation, reduce manual intervention, reduce labor intensity and improve production efficiency.

Environmental protection and energy saving: No tools are required during the laser cutting process, which reduces tool wear and the frequency of replacement. At the same time, laser cutting produces less waste, which meets environmental protection requirements.
