ACME Tube Laser Cutting Machines Used in Shipbuilding Industry
The status of shipbuilding in China's manufacturing industry is extraordinary. China is a big shipbuilding country. Traditional flame cutting, plasma cutting, and shearing processing can no longer meet the industry's demand for precision. Minor skews and burrs in cutting may cause accidents on the entire ship. Laser cutting has many advantages such as no impact on raw materials, high precision, high safety factor, and no need for secondary processing. It can perfectly solve the pain points of the industry: easy slag hanging, large deformation during thin plate cutting, high operating costs,etc.
The pipe cutting in the industry is mainly round pipes within 200mm, and there is a requirement for gradual bevel cutting. Gradient bevel is an advanced laser cutting mode, which is commonly used in cutting intersecting line holes, oval holes, intersecting line ends, elbows (shrimp joints), etc.
Take the common tee welding as an example: when cutting the tee with a fixed angle groove, there are problems such as large gaps and missing arcs, and it is difficult to splice in the later stage, while the gradual groove cutting will be based on parameters such as pipe radius and intersection angle. And the path, for variable-angle bevel cutting, so that the end connection between the round tube and the round tube can achieve a perfect fit and seamless splicing. In the subsequent welding of carbon steel and alloy steel, it can reduce welding deformation, reduce crack sensitivity, improve the mechanical properties of joints, and improve production efficiency.
Gradient bevel cutting has the characteristics of fast speed, no burr, smooth cutting edge and high efficiency. Widely used in the production of metal structural parts, power equipment, boiler industry, petroleum, chemical and other industrial sectors. Especially: oil, gas, liquefied gas and other fluid pipelines, pressure vessels, etc.
ACME laser three-dimensional cutting is capable of both fixed-angle and variable-angle cutting within ±45°. For blanking of different lengths, we support on-demand customization and design a special blanking mechanism to achieve intelligent feeding and picking.
