Laser tube cutting machine is a kind of equipment that uses laser technology to cut and process tubes.
The following is a detailed introduction to it:
Working principle
The working principle of laser tube cutting machine is mainly based on the high energy density and precise control of laser beam. Its core component is laser, which is responsible for generating high-energy and stable laser beam. After being excited by electric energy, the gas, solid or semiconductor material inside the laser generates photons and is continuously amplified by the reflector of the resonant cavity, eventually forming a beam of high-energy and high-density laser. The generated laser beam is transmitted to the cutting head through an optical system such as optical fiber or lens group, and the cutting head focuses the laser beam on a very small spot to increase the energy density of the laser. When the high-energy laser beam irradiates the surface of the tube, the material in the irradiated area quickly melts, vaporizes or reaches the ignition point. At the same time, the high-speed airflow coaxial with the beam (such as nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) blows away the molten material, thereby realizing the cutting of the tube. The moving trajectory of the laser beam is precisely controlled by a computer, and it can be cut according to the preset graphics.
Features
High precision: The laser tube cutting machine adopts non-contact cutting and has extremely high cutting accuracy.
Smooth cut: The cut produced by laser cutting is smooth, and no subsequent processing is required, which reduces processing time and cost.
Fast cutting speed: The laser tube cutting machine has an efficient cutting speed, which can greatly improve production efficiency.
Small heat-affected zone: The heat-affected zone of laser cutting is small, and the thermal damage to the tube is small, which is conducive to maintaining the mechanical properties of the tube.
High flexibility: The laser tube cutting machine can process tubes of various shapes and sizes, including round, square, rectangular and various special-shaped tubes.
Application field
Laser tube cutting machines are widely used in the field of metal tube processing in industrial production, such as construction, machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other industries, for the manufacture of various structural parts and components. In addition, fully automatic laser tube cutting machines are also widely used in engineering machinery, locomotive manufacturing, oil pipelines, agricultural and forestry machinery, smart homes, fitness devices, office desks and chairs, bus manufacturing and other industries.
Operation process
The operation process of the laser tube cutting machine usually includes the following steps:
Place the tube to be cut on the cutting table and fix it with a clamp.
Turn on the power switch of the machine, select automatic or semi-automatic mode, and let the machine enter the working state.
Adjust the relative position of the tube and the machine to ensure that they are vertical, and check the surface and dimensional accuracy of the tube.
Adjust the laser power according to the thickness of the tube. Use low power for thin tubes and increase the power appropriately for thick tubes.
Press the start button to start cutting. After the cutting is completed, press the stop button to cut off the power.
Release the clamp and take out the cut tube.
Maintenance and care
To ensure the normal operation and extend the service life of the laser tube cutting machine, regular maintenance and care are required. This includes cleaning the dust on the guide rails of the laser tube cutting machine, adding lubricating oil to the slider, checking whether the wires connecting the motor and the driver are in good contact, etc. If you encounter complex or uncertain problems, it is recommended to contact professional technicians or sales engineers for further inspection and repair.
