Advantages of Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine

 

 

Precise Cutting

Tube processed with a fiber laser is cut far more accurately than with other methods, due both to the size of the cutting “tool” (a laser beam) and the minute positioning provided by the CNC system.

Better Edge Quality

Little to no secondary operation is required with fiber laser cutting. The edges are smooth, and the little slag that’s created is a far cry from the burrs left behind from traditional cutting and punching. Parts come off the laser ready to be assembled.

Low Thermal Deformation

Unlike cutting with plasma, fiber laser cutting leaves a very small heat-affected zone (HAZ) with almost no thermal deformation of the metal.

No Stress-Weakening of the Metal

The laser head never makes direct contact with the material, unlike traditional cutting methods that physically impact the metal and weaken the material around the cut through mechanical stress and vibrations.

High Repeatability

With the precise laser beam controlled by the CNC system, processes can be repeated accurately on subsequent work pieces. This is very important for both small batch processing as well as mass production of parts.

Fast Cutting

Fiber laser tube cutting is literally hundreds of times faster than traditional cutting methods.

Working Principle of Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine

Laser tube cutting involves directing a high-powered laser at the material intended to be cut. The energy from the laser beam melts or vaporizes the material, resulting in a clean and precise cut.

 

Main Stages of Tube Laser Cutting

1.Material Preparation: The tube material is properly aligned and set in position to ensure accurate cutting.

2.Laser Calibration: The laser cutter adjusts its settings based on the material’s properties and the desired outcome.

3.Cutting Process: The laser beam moves across the material, following the designated pattern or design.

4.Cooling and Solidification: The cut sections cool down and solidify, ensuring a sharp finish.

5.Post-Cut Processing: Any residues are cleaned off, and further finishing processes are applied if necessary.

Cleaning Tips for Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine

Drawers and Bins

The simplest thing you can do to prolong the life of your fiber laser cutting machine is to clean it. Operators must clean the device after every job. So please, empty all slag drawers and bins before attempting a new cut. If a worker doesn’t unpack a drawer after they use it, it’ll eventually jam shut. This can dramatically affect the table shuttle. Workers must clear off the slats before attempting another cut. Remove all scraps so that the new material lays flat on the surface and doesn’t tip upward.

Torch

Once you’re confident that the slat and drawers are clean, examine the torch. The torch is the nucleus of a fiber laser cutting machine. If this part malfunctions, there will be big trouble in the future. So, workers should clean the torch body, nozzle, attached cables, and the protective window. Operators can use lint-free cloths or microfiber towels to clean these parts. Cleaning the torch helps the laser make the most precise cuts possible.

Area Around the Equipment

It’s crucial to clean the area around the equipment as well. Any debris or scraps that surround the machine are a safety hazard. Workers can trip over these items and severely injure themselves. So, clean up and do a thorough inspection of the area before you turn it on. Also, check over the connections and watch out for loose wires that may cause you to trip. Cleaning is a simple task that can prevent massive headaches in the future.
