The cutting principle of laser pipe cutting machine is not much different from that of flat laser cutting machine. As a specialized laser cutting machine, laser pipe cutting machine mainly targets standard metal pipes (round pipes, rectangular pipes, ellipses, etc.), profiles (channel steel, angle steel, etc.) and some irregular pipes for laser cutting. Compared with traditional processing technology, its advantages lie in the following aspects:
(1) High cutting accuracy, with a contour accuracy of ± 0.05mm.
(2) The incision is smooth, without burrs, the cutting seam is fine, and the material loss is minimal.
(3) Non contact processing, and the heat affected zone of laser cutting is very small, with almost no deformation.
(4) High cutting efficiency, capable of achieving mass production.
(5) Good flexibility, using professional CNC systems and nesting programming software, products can be changed or replaced at any time.
From this, it can be seen that professional laser pipe cutting machines can replace equipment and hard tools that require different metal pipe processing such as mechanical drilling, milling, sawing, stamping, or cleaning of burrs. They can achieve cutting, chamfering, slotting or drilling, scoring, and other possible size and shape features processing of complex pipe structures. They can be widely used in sheet metal processing, kitchenware, lighting, automotive, medical equipment, hardware, fitness equipment and other industries.


Classification and Characteristics of Professional Laser Pipe Cutting Machines
With the rapid growth of metal pipe production and consumption in China, laser cutting machine equipment is rapidly becoming popular. Currently, there are many types of laser cutting machines on the market, which can be roughly divided into three categories according to the degree of automation.
1. Manual laser pipe cutting machine: During operation, it is necessary to manually adjust the position of the pipe, set cutting parameters, and monitor the entire cutting process. Its advantages are relatively low cost, flexible operation, suitable for processing small batches, multiple varieties or complex shapes of pipes, and suitable for small or start-up enterprises with limited budgets.
2. Semi automatic laser pipe cutting machine: equipped with an automatic feeding system, automatic positioning device, and partial automation control system, it can automatically complete preliminary work such as loading, positioning, and alignment of pipes. However, during the cutting process, operators still need to adjust and monitor parameters according to the specific situation of the pipes. Suitable for small and medium-sized production, able to flexibly respond to the processing needs of pipes of different specifications and materials.
3. Fully automatic laser pipe cutting machine: It achieves full automation from pipe feeding, positioning, cutting to unloading. Integrated with advanced laser technology, precise mechanical control system, intelligent operating interface, and powerful data processing capabilities, it has the characteristics of high efficiency, precision, and stability, making it the choice for large-scale production and high-precision processing.
