Product Features
High-Precision Dimensional Control
Utilizes CNC fiber laser cutting technology to ensure consistent dimensional accuracy, with typical machining tolerances controlled within the ±0.1mm to ±0.2mm range.
Excellent Cut Quality
Produces smooth, clean cut edges with a minimal heat-affected zone, effectively reducing the need for subsequent deburring and grinding processes.
Supports Complex Structural Machining
Capable of processing circular holes, elongated slots, fish-mouth cuts, angled cuts, bevels, and complex intersecting profile geometries.
Enhanced Material Utilization
Optimizes cutting paths via CAD/CAM programming to effectively minimize raw material waste; ideal for long-term OEM projects and volume orders.
Application Areas
Industrial Automation Equipment: Equipment frames, conveyor systems, and structural components for robotics.
Food and Pharmaceutical Equipment: Sanitary-grade stainless steel structural components, conveyor piping, and mixing equipment assemblies.
Medical Equipment: Medical bed frames, equipment supports, and structural parts with high aesthetic requirements.
New Energy and Automotive Components: Energy storage equipment brackets, exhaust systems, and lightweight structural components.
Environmental Protection and Water Treatment Equipment: Filtration equipment, ozone systems, and stainless steel manifold piping.
Manufacturing Process
Raw Material Management
Raw materials are sourced from qualified suppliers; specifications are verified against order requirements, and material certification documents are provided. For products with decorative surfaces or high aesthetic standards, protective films or anti-scratch measures are employed during processing.
Engineering Review
The engineering team reviews customer drawings, conducts feasibility analyses on processing methods, fixture designs, cutting paths, and assembly requirements, and offers DFM (Design for Manufacturability) optimization suggestions.
Laser Tube Cutting
CNC fiber laser tube cutting equipment is used for cutting, hole making, beveling, and complex contour cutting. Depending on process requirements, assist gases (such as nitrogen) may be used to achieve superior cut surface quality.
