Core Advantages of Fiber Laser Tube Cutter

The most suitable laser cutter for metal pipe cutting, Fibre Laser Pipe Cutter Advantage:

1. High absorption rate to metal: especially suitable for carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium alloy, copper and other metal materials. The absorption rate of metal to fibre laser wavelength (1064nm) is much higher than CO₂ laser.
2. Fast cutting speed and high efficiency: about 2 times faster than CO₂ laser with the same power, especially on thin-walled metal pipes.
3. Low running cost: no laser gas (CO₂ needs auxiliary gas), high photoelectric conversion efficiency (about 30%), less maintenance, low energy consumption.
4. High cutting precision and good edge quality: smaller focus, finer slit and neat cutting surface can be achieved.
5. Smaller size and higher integration: facilitates the integration of the laser in compact tube cutting equipment.

Advantages of Fiber Laser Pipe Cutting Machine Shaped Pipe Cutting:

1. High Adaptability - Adaptable to many kinds of shaped cross sections

With triple chuck, quadruple chuck or auto-centring fixture system, it can securely clamp non-standard pipes (e.g. elliptical, hexagonal pipes, etc.) to avoid slipping and offsetting.

Automatic adjustment of clamping position and rotating angle by CNC system can achieve stable processing.

2. Accurate cutting of complex contours

Fibre laser beam with small focal point can accurately follow the shape change of shaped tubes for high-precision cutting and drilling.

Especially suitable for processing tasks that require chamfering, piercing, grooving, and shaped notching.

3. Intelligent following system

Most high-end fibre laser tube cutting machines are equipped with automatic edge finding and laser tracking system, which can dynamically adjust the position of the laser head according to the contour of the shaped profile to achieve close-face cutting.

4. No Moulds, High Flexibility

Compared with traditional stamping or mechanical cutting, no need to customize moulds to quickly cut different shapes of tubes, shorten delivery cycle and reduce development costs.

5. Good cut quality, low deformation

Small heat affected zone, not easy to cause deformation of thin-walled profiled tubes, smooth edges, no need for secondary grinding.

6. Support 3D laser cutting (with oscillating cutting head)

Some of the high configuration fibre laser pipe cutter can achieve three-dimensional oscillating cutting head, suitable for: bevel, V-notch, welding bevel, complex connection angle of space structural parts.

Advantages of fibre laser pipe cutting machine for large diameter thick-walled pipe processing:

1. High-power laser drive, strong penetration

At present, the mainstream fibre laser power has reached 6kW ~ 20kW or even higher, the thick-walled carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and other materials with excellent penetration cutting ability.

It can easily cut the wall thickness of steel pipe of more than 20mm, and the cutting seam is flat. 2.

2. Stable cutting quality, vertical kerf

The laser beam focuses accurately and works with high-pressure auxiliary gases (such as oxygen or nitrogen) to achieve high-quality right-angle cuts, maintaining good verticality and finish even for thick pipe walls.

3. Dedicated heavy duty chuck and bed design

For processing large diameter (e.g. Φ200mm ~ Φ500mm or larger) pipes, the machine is equipped with a large-through-hole heavy duty chuck with auto-centring function to ensure stable clamping and no shaking.

The processing length can be up to 6 metres, 9 metres or even 12 metres, which is suitable for large engineering structural pipes.

4. powerful dynamic following control

In thick-walled pipe cutting, the laser head adopts an automatic focusing and height tracking system, which maintains a stable focus even if the pipe surface is curved or uneven.

5. Welding Bevel Cutting

Certain high-end fibre laser equipment supports 5-axis linkage or with oscillating cutting head, which can carry out welding pre-bevel cutting (e.g. V-bevel, Y-bevel) on thick-walled pipes, improving welding efficiency and firmness.

6. High level of automation, suitable for mass production

Automatic loading and unloading device, intelligent nesting, cutting path optimisation and other functions to reduce manual intervention, improve processing efficiency and consistency.
