What are the advantages of laser tube cutting machines? What is the trend in their development?
Laser cutting currently boasts a wide range of applications, particularly in the field of tube cutting where its use is exceptionally widespread. Traditional tube cutting methods primarily rely on roller saws and sawing machines, which present significant drawbacks. These include low efficiency, high labor intensity for workers, and insufficient precision. In contrast, laser cutting offers advantages such as faster processing speeds and superior machining results.
Within the laser cutting industry, laser cutting machines find extensive application across aerospace, construction machinery, and automotive manufacturing sectors. Pipe cutting processes face numerous logistical and operational challenges during transportation and fabrication. While traditional cutting methods may meet certain requirements within limited parameters, they suffer from low processing efficiency and suboptimal techniques. Consequently, adopting advanced laser cutting technology for pipe processing holds significant development potential and promising prospects.
Laser tube cutting delivers high-quality cuts with minimal heat-affected zones, rapid processing speeds, excellent flexibility, and smooth edges. The process incurs no wear or damage. With the advent of CNC laser cutting machines, demands for spatial free-form surfaces and curved surfaces have grown more complex and stringent.
Advantages of Laser Tube Cutting:
Laser tube cutting machines currently offer a wide range of cutting widths with minimal heat-affected zones, ensuring flawless, smooth cuts. Cutting efficiency surpasses traditional methods by 8-20 times, while processing speed increases by 20%. Additionally, processing costs are significantly reduced, and environmental impact is considerably lower.
Future Trends in Laser Tube Cutting:
Laser cutting employs a non-contact method, making it indispensable in future markets. During tube wall processing, no pressure is applied, preventing collapse or deformation. Additionally, laser cutting excels at handling tube gaps.
Furthermore, fiber laser cutters achieve exceptionally smooth surfaces unattainable by CNC punching machines. Fiber laser cutting machines are widely used in industries such as advertising sign production, sheet metal structures, high/low-voltage electrical cabinet manufacturing, textile machinery parts, kitchenware, automotive, machinery, elevators, electrical components, and subway parts.
