Introduction to the Machine
The Stainless Steel Round Tube Laser Cutting Machine is a high-tech device integrating fiber laser technology, numerical control (NC) technology, and precision mechanical engineering. It uses a high-power-density laser beam to irradiate the surface of stainless steel round tubes, causing the material to melt, evaporate, and be blown away by a high-speed gas stream, thereby completing the cutting process. This type of machine is widely used in various fields such as architectural decoration, mechanical manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, and furniture production.

Working Principle of the Machine
- Place the stainless steel round tube to be cut on the worktable.
- Set the laser power, cutting speed, and gas pressure parameters according to the material type and thickness.
- Start the laser generator. The laser beam is transmitted through an optical fiber, collimated by a collimating mirror, focused by a focusing lens, and then emitted from the nozzle.
- Under the control of the numerical control system, the cutting head moves along the preset path. The high-power density of the laser beam focus melts and evaporates the material.
- Cutting gases such as oxygen and nitrogen are quickly ejected through the nozzle, blowing away the molten material to form a smooth cut.
- After the cutting is completed, turn off the laser generator and clean the equipment.
Application Fields
- Architectural Decoration: For making stainless steel railings, handrails, decorative components, etc.
- Mechanical Manufacturing: For processing stainless steel round tube components, such as mechanical supports and pipe fittings.
- Automotive Manufacturing: For cutting components such as automotive exhaust pipes and body frames.
- Furniture Manufacturing: For producing stainless steel furniture, such as table legs and chair legs.
Maintenance and Care
- Regularly inspect all components of the equipment, such as the laser generator, cutting head, and worktable, to ensure normal operation.
- Regularly clean the exterior of the equipment to keep it tidy.
- Regularly replace consumables of the laser generator, such as laser rods and resonators.
- Check whether the alignment of the laser beam, the adjustment of the cutting head, and the flatness of the worktable are normal.
