Metal Pipe Tube Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

1. Good beam quality. The waveguide structure of the fiber laser determines that it is easy to obtain a single transverse mode output. Besides, it is unlikely to be affected by external factors, which can achieve high brightness laser output.

2. High efficiency. The overall electro-optical efficiency of commercial fiber lasers is as high as 25%, which is conducive to cost reduction, energy-saving, and environmental protection.

3. Good heat dissipation. The CNC fiber laser uses thin rare earth element doped fibers as the gain medium, which has a very large surface area to volume ratio. This is conducive to heat dissipation. The water-cooling method for high-power fiber laser can avoid the loss of quality and efficiency caused by the heat effect.

4. Compact structure and high reliability. Since the fiber laser uses fine and flexible fiber as the gain medium, it helps to compress the size and save cost.

5. Maintenance free. There is no optical lens in the resonant cavity of the CNC fiber laser. So it has the advantages of adjustment-free, maintenance-free, and high stability, which is incomparable to traditional lasers.

These tools are identified into metal cutters, wood cutters, fabric cutters, leather cutters, paper cutters, acrylic cutters, plastic cutters, foam cutters, paper cutters based on materials to be cut. These cutting machines are classified into fiber or CO2 laser machines based on sources. These kits are defined into handheld, portable, mini, small, tabletop, benchtop, desktop styles. The most common types of cutting tables include 2×3, 2×4, 4×4, 4×8, 5×10, 6×12 based on the workbench sizes. Before buying, take some measurements of your workshop space to ensure that it will fit, and buy the right cutting table. The cutting systems are divided into 3 axis types, 4th axis (rotary axis) types, 4 axis types, 5 axis types, flatbed cutters, tube cutters, home types, hobby types, die cutters, profile cutters, and industrial cutting systems based on applications.

 The fiber laser cutter pipe is mainly used for cutting carbon steel,stainless steel, steel, titanium alloy, pickling board, galvanized steel sheet, aluminum zinc plate, silicon steel, aluminum alloy, copper and many different types of metal materials.

Laser Source: Pipe fiber laser cutting machines utilize a high-powered fiber laser source to generate a concentrated laser beam. Fiber lasers are preferred due to their high energy efficiency, excellent beam quality, and ability to cut a wide range of metals with high precision.

Pipe Cutting Process: The pipe cutting process begins with the CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software, where the desired cut paths or shapes are designed. The CAD data is then transferred to the CNC (Computer Numerical Control) system of the laser cutting machine. The machine’s controller guides the laser beam along the programmed cutting paths, melting and vaporizing the metal to create the desired cuts. An assist gas, such as oxygen or nitrogen, is typically used to blow away the molten metal and achieve clean and precise cuts.

Pipe Handling System: Pipe fiber laser cutting machines are designed with a specialized pipe handling system that securely holds and rotates the cylindrical pipe or tube during cutting. This system ensures accurate and consistent cuts along the length of the pipe. The machine may have a chuck or other clamping mechanism to grip the pipe firmly, allowing for precise positioning and rotation during the cutting process.

Cutting Capabilities: Pipe fiber laser cutting machines can achieve a variety of cutting operations on pipes or tubes, including straight cuts, bevel cuts, miter cuts, and even complex shapes or patterns. The machine can cut a wide range of metal materials commonly used in the industry, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and more. It provides high precision, speed, and repeatability in pipe cutting applications.

Automation and Productivity: These machines can be integrated into automated systems for continuous and high-volume production. They can be equipped with automatic loading and unloading systems to streamline the pipe feeding process and improve productivity. The CNC system ensures precise and repeatable cutting results, even for complex or nested cutting patterns.

Design Flexibility: Pipe fiber laser cutting machines offer design flexibility, allowing for the creation of custom cuts, precise contours, and complex shapes on pipes or tubes. The CAD software provides the flexibility to design and program the desired cutting paths and shapes, enabling customization and versatility in pipe cutting applications.
