Laser cutting machine for plates and tubes

Dual-Mode Processing System: Seamless Switch Between Plate and Tube

The core advantage of the equipment lies in its integrated plate-tube processing structure, which eliminates the need for separate machines and reduces workshop floor space by 40%. For sheet metal processing, it features a 1500mm×3000mm/2000mm×4000mm optional heavy-duty workbench with a high-precision honeycomb structure, capable of bearing up to 800kg of material. The bench is equipped with automatic height compensation sensors to adapt to uneven plate surfaces, ensuring stable cutting even for thick plates up to 30mm.

For tube processing, the integrated automatic tube feeding module supports a wide range of specifications: round tubes (φ20mm-φ219mm), square tubes (20×20mm-200×200mm), rectangular tubes (30×20mm-250×150mm), and elliptical tubes, with a maximum tube length of 6m. The module is equipped with a hydraulic material rack that can hold 100-250 tubes at once, and a servo-driven feeding arm that achieves tube positioning accuracy within ±0.02mm. Switching between plate and tube processing modes takes only 3 minutes via the control panel, enabling flexible response to mixed production orders.

High-Power Laser Cutting Technology: Precision Across Materials

Powered by a 1000W-6000W fiber laser (IPG/Ruike optional), the machine delivers consistent energy output for both thin and thick materials. Its dual-focus laser head system automatically switches between plate-cutting (fixed focus) and tube-cutting (3D dynamic focus) modes: for plates, it achieves a cutting precision of ±0.01mm and a surface roughness Ra≤1.2μm, with no burrs or slag on carbon steel, stainless steel, or aluminum alloy sheets; for tubes, it handles bevel cutting (0°-60°), slotting, drilling, and chamfering with a perpendicularity error ≤0.1mm/m, meeting direct assembly requirements.

The intelligent material adaptation system further enhances versatility: it automatically detects material type (metal/non-metal), thickness, and tube shape via laser sensors, then retrieves optimal parameters from a built-in database of 3000+ processes. For example, when cutting 10mm stainless steel plates, it switches to nitrogen as the auxiliary gas to prevent oxidation; for 5mm aluminum tubes, it adjusts the laser frequency to avoid thermal deformation. The anti-vibration clamping mechanism uses pneumatic jaws with replaceable rubber pads, ensuring secure gripping without damaging thin-walled tubes (≥0.6mm) or delicate plates.

Smart Control & Automation: Boost Efficiency and Reduce Labor

Operation is streamlined via a 21.5-inch 4K touchscreen running a custom Windows-based control system, supporting direct import of DXF, DWG, and AI files, as well as parametric programming and 3D simulation. The system’s automatic nesting function optimizes plate layout to increase material utilization by 18-25%, while the tube length optimization program minimizes waste from tube cutting. Even novice operators can master the machine quickly, thanks to preset templates for common products like kitchen sinks, steel brackets, and fitness equipment frames.

For automated production, the machine supports robotics and MES system integration: it can connect to automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for raw material delivery and finished product transfer, and upload real-time data (production count, pass rate, machine status) to the factory’s management platform. The breakpoint resume function ensures no material waste in case of power outages, and the remote diagnostic module allows engineers to troubleshoot via mobile app, reducing downtime to less than 2 hours on average.

Application Scenarios: All-Round Solution for Diverse Needs

This dual-function machine excels in mixed-production environments: in kitchenware factories, it cuts stainless steel plates for sink bodies and drills holes in water pipe connectors; in construction, it processes steel plates for structural brackets and cuts square tubes for scaffolding; in automotive manufacturing, it fabricates sheet metal parts for car bodies and trims exhaust pipes. For small-batch custom orders, its quick setup time (≤15 minutes) ensures fast delivery; for mass production, its 24-hour automated operation achieves a daily output of 800+ plates/tubes.
