Definition of Fiber Laser Tube Cutting Machine
The working principle of the laser pipe cutting machine is similar to that of the laser plate cutting machine, which uses a high-density beam for local thermal processing of the material to achieve the purpose of cutting and punching.

How Does Tube Laser Cutting Work?
Laser pipe cutting machine is realized by applying high power density energy generated by laser focusing. Under computer control, the laser is discharged through pulses, thereby outputting a controlled repetitive high-frequency pulse laser to form a beam of a certain frequency and a certain pulse width. The pulse laser beam is transmitted and reflected through the optical path and focused on the processing area through the focusing lens group. On the surface of the metal pipe, tiny, high-energy-density light spots are formed. The focal spots are located near the surface to be processed, and are processed by instantaneous high-temperature melting or vaporization.
The high energy laser pulse instantly sputtered a small hole on the surface of the object, under the control of the computer, the cutting head of the tube laser cutting machine and the processed material according to the pre-drawn graphics for continuous relative motion dot, so that the object will be processed into the desired shape

Benefits of Steel laser Tube Cutting Machine
● Precision Cutting .The cutting precision is high, the size is accurate, the cutting plane is smooth, the tube loss is small, and the material is saved
● Adjustable size. To adapt to different cutting requirements; Metal tube laser cutting machine process length can be 6000mm* φ10~220mm( Square tube:10*10-150*150mm) The standard tube length is 6m, and 9m, 12m, length can be customized, Tube diameter have 160mm, 230mm, 300mm, 350mm, 500mm. Which can satisfied different pipe sizes.
● Cutting different thicker. The dynamic focusing device of the pipe laser cutting machine is followed, so it can handle materials of different thicknesses, basically not limited by the thickness of the material.
● Versatility – Laser tube cutting machine can be used to cut a wide range of materials, including metals such as steel, aluminum, copper, and brass and so on. This versatility allows manufacturers to produce an array of products with a single technology.
● Highly cost effective. The application range of pipe laser cutting is wider, in addition to the material, thickness, but also in the shape, size and other aspects are not easy to be limited. Because the pipe laser cutting has high precision, the products after processing rarely need follow-up processing, which greatly saves time and cost, and is a cost-effective pipe fitting processing equipment.
● More Safety – Laser tube cutting is a non-contact process, meaning there is no physical pressure or interaction between the cutting tool and the material being cut. This eliminates the risk of damage to the material or injury to the operator. Additionally, laser tube cutters often have enclosed cutting areas, which further enhances safety.
● Cost savings: Laser tube cutters are an investment in improving manufacturing processes. They can eliminate labor-intensive manual cutting, reduce material waste, and improve yields, ultimately leading to cost savings in the long term.

Q9: What Should You Pay Attention to When Cutting?
A9: Before starting the machining process, it's important to verify that the selection procedure is correct, the process parameters have been correctly named, the external auxiliary gas is available, and the position of the plate is accurate.
To prevent deformation of the sheet during machining, which could result in collisions, it's crucial to avoid any disturbances. When the machine is in operation, the operator should remain attentive and not leave the machine, ensuring their personal safety at all times.
Q10: Why recalibrate when changing different cutting materials and different types of nozzles? What should you do if the automatic calibration is not successful?
A10: The height is monitored using a capacitive sensor, which is influenced by the material, the surface area in contact, and the distance between the sensor and the material.
Different nozzles have varying contact areas, so changing nozzle types requires re-calibration.
If automatic calibration fails, perform manual calibration by executing the M70 command in manual data input (MDI) mode, or switch to manual calibration.
