Laser Pipe Cutting Machine

When it comes to choosing a laser pipe cutting machine, many technical aspects must be taken into account to maximize its performance and achieve extremely high levels of productivity. Here are some of the most important characteristics to consider when choosing the machine best suited for the requirements of each process:

■ Laser Power Configuration. This refers to the power output options and cutting capabilities. For example, the HT3015H 3KW model can cut carbon steel up to 20mm and stainless steel up to 12mm, while the entry-level 1000W systems are optimized for thinner materials up to 6mm. The HT4020H offers enhanced cutting capabilities with speeds up to 30m/min for 1mm carbon steel. Consider your typical material types and thicknesses to select appropriate laser power.

■ Control System Options. Haitong’s integrated Cypcut control systems provide precise operation across their range. These systems feature automatic edge searching, automatic typesetting, and automatic focusing. For instance, the fiber laser pipe cutting machine (1000W-3000W) incorporates advanced CNC controls achieving cutting speeds up to 1000mm/s. The control interface should align with operator requirements and existing workflow.

■ Axis Configuration. Consider whether your applications require 4-axis or 5-axis capabilities. The standard HT3015H features 4-axis systems with FUJI servo motors, while advanced models like the Industrial 5-axis CNC laser pipe cutting machine offer enhanced capabilities for complex geometries. Match the axis configuration to your cutting requirements.

■ Cutting Area Specifications. Working envelope and material handling capacity are crucial factors. The CNC Fiber Laser Cutter offers 6000mm cutting lengths with maximum pipe diameters of 245mm, while the HT6020H provides an expanded 6000×2000mm cutting area. Match these specifications to your typical workpiece sizes.

■ Component Quality. Evaluate key components like laser sources (RAYCUS/MAX/IPG), cutting heads (Raytools/WSX), and motion systems (HIWIN guide rails). The Auto-Chucks Laser Cutting Machine features premium Japanese FUJI servo motors and Raytools cutting heads for superior performance and longevity.

■ Precision Requirements. Different machines offer varying levels of accuracy. The HT3015H achieves ±0.03mm positioning accuracy with ±0.02mm repeatability, while the 3KW Tube and Sheet Metal CNC Laser Cutter offers ±0.01mm positioning accuracy. Match these specifications to your tolerance requirements.

■ Material Handling Features. Consider automated features like double pneumatic chuck systems, specialized tube holders, and automatic loading/unloading capabilities. The Auto-Chucks model features a minimum tail length of 20mm and zero tail cutting capability, enhancing material utilization and operational efficiency.

■ Additional Capabilities. Evaluate supplementary features like auto-focus laser heads, file format compatibility (AI, DXF, DST, DWG), and auxiliary gas systems. The 3KW Tube and Sheet Metal CNC Laser Cutter supports multiple file formats and includes comprehensive gas control systems for various materials.

These factors should guide your selection process, but remember that each manufacturing requirement is unique and may benefit from customized solutions.
