CBIES AUTOMOTIVE|How To Maximize The Accuracy Of Laser Cutting Under The Condition Of Reducing Cost And Increasing Efficiency

Today's processing plants are under intense pressure to reduce costs, improve quality and optimize output. Laser cutting operations require a very different mindset than more common sheet metal cutting operations. Not only do manufacturers have to contend with these basic shop standards, but tube shape, size, part complexity, hole geometry, special cuts, and tighter tolerances are all forcing manufacturers to rethink their laser cutting processes to help maximize Maximize quality and efficiency. To ensure the highest accuracy, factories need to consider a few issues.

 

Relevant standards apply to the full names of common metal alloys. However, when it comes to laser tube cutting, just because tubes meet these standards doesn't mean they're always the best choice.

 

There are more tolerances to consider with tubing than flat or sheet, tubing isn't exactly the 2" square it's listed on, it's slightly larger or smaller. Probably not square but a trapezoid with convex or concave sides. In addition, the tubing has some degree of bending and twisting. One of the faces will be different from the other due to welding. So right from the start the raw material plays an important role in the overall accuracy of the finished part.

 

Material thickness is important when cutting with a laser. For example, when cutting 2-in., 0.120-in. or 11-in. wall material, it is possible to run into sections of tubing that are thicker than specified, and the machine must be able to compensate for this.

 

"Accuracy will really depend on where you start" If the material is oversized or undersized, that's one thing, but bending and twisting will also be a big factor. If the raw material cannot hold a tolerance (e.g. ±0.03 inches) then you can't expect to make better parts from that material than that. The production of high-quality parts requires high-quality pipes first. Depending on the precision and tolerances required, it may be necessary to work with a professional and quality material manufacturer. CBIES automotive is a professional auto parts supplier in China. It has very strict requirements on quality and quality. It continuously optimizes its laser cutting accuracy. The high-frequency welded pipe production line, also adopts the world's advanced forming technology-Korea KTM welded pipe production line based on W With the bending forming method, the welding seam protrusion accuracy tends to be stable, and good welding quality and burr accuracy are obtained. The high-frequency welding system automatically matches and adjusts to complete products with a higher or lower ratio of the pipe diameter to wall thickness, which has a wide range of applications. We are mainly engaged in the export of automotive pipes, including side door bumper bars, shock absorber pipes, exhaust pipes, hydraulic cylinder pipes, seat and instrument beam pipes, etc.

 

While proper material handling and storage are essential to any production process, it plays an important role in tube processing operations. There is a risk of deformation if not handled and stored properly. CBIES has been trying to find a storage method. Not only does it help ensure the quality of the raw material, but it can be used with tube laser machines to alleviate any material handling issues.

 

Depending on the diameter and wall thickness of the tube, and how well the laser cutting is supported throughout the machine during processing, there can still be added sagging, bending, and bending of the material. This would undoubtedly widen the existing tolerance range for tubing, which may have reached unfavorable limits. Many of today's laser tube cutting machines have compensation cycles built into the cutting process to help ensure positional and dimensional accuracy, especially for parts that require tight tolerance holes and slots. probes and sensors. Touch probes and laser sensors are common measurement methods that help ensure dimensional accuracy during laser cutting.
