Tube Laser Cutting Service

Tube laser cutting is a processing method that uses laser technology to cut tubular materials. It uses a high-energy-density laser beam to perform hot-melt cutting on tubes. By controlling the position and power of the laser beam, precise cutting of tubes is achieved.

Tube laser cutting is an efficient and precise cutting method. Its principle is to use high-energy laser beams to irradiate the surface of metal tubes to quickly melt, vaporize or reach the ignition point of the metal, and at the same time blow away the melted or burning metal with high-speed airflow. Thus cutting is achieved.

Cutting process:

  ● Preparation work: Before laser cutting tubes, some preparation work is required. First, you need to place the tube to be cut on the cutting machine and adjust the position and angle of the tube. At the same time, it is necessary to check whether the parameters of the cutting machine, such as laser power, spot diameter, focal length, etc., are set correctly.

  ● Laser irradiation: After the preparation work is completed, laser irradiation can begin. The position and length of laser irradiation need to be determined according to the material, thickness and cutting requirements of the tube. Generally speaking, the position of laser irradiation needs to be perpendicular to the surface of the tube, and the focus of the laser beam must be ensured to be on the surface of the tube.

  ● Gas purge: After the laser irradiation is completed, gas purge needs to be performed immediately. The function of gas purging is to quickly blow away molten or burning metal and prevent metal from condensing on the surface of the tube. Generally speaking, it is better to use high-purity nitrogen or oxygen for purging.

  ● Cutting completed: After laser irradiation and gas purging, the tube will be cut into the required shape and size. After the cut is completed, the cut surface needs to be cleaned and polished to ensure it is flat and smooth.

Precautions:

  ● When laser cutting tubes, you need to pay attention to operational safety. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the operators have received professional training and technical guidance and are proficient in the operating procedures and precautions of the laser cutting machine. At the same time, you must wear protective glasses and other necessary protective equipment during operation to prevent laser damage to your eyes and other parts.

  ● In order to ensure the normal operation of tube laser cutting and extend the service life of the equipment, regular equipment maintenance is required. Specifically, it is necessary to regularly check whether the parameters and components of the cutting machine are normal, such as the laser, cooling system, transmission system, etc. At the same time, the gas purge system needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure its normal operation.

  ● When laser cutting tubes, you need to pay attention to the material material and thickness. Tubes made of different materials have different absorption rates and reactions to lasers, so it is necessary to select the appropriate laser power and cutting speed according to the different materials. At the same time, the thickness of the tube will also affect the effect and quality of laser cutting, and reasonable adjustments are required.

  ● Laser cutting of tubes needs to be carried out in a certain environment, so you need to pay attention to the environmental requirements. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the working environment is clean and dry to avoid the impact of dust and moisture on the equipment. At the same time, the ambient temperature and humidity need to be controlled to avoid affecting the normal operation of the equipment. In addition, workplace safety and fire prevention measures need to be ensured to prevent accidents.
