A laser pipe cutting machine is a metal pipe cutting equipment with excellent efficiency. The basic idea is to carve various graphics on pipe using laser irradiation.

1KW, 2KW, 3KW, 4KW, 6KW,12KW

A tube laser starts about $40,000 on average. This is the starting point for the cost of the most basic tube laser machine.

These devices are capable of cutting iron, steel, aluminum, and other materials. Machines capable of cutting materials up to 1 inch thick typically cost between $40,000 and $150,000.

Square laser tube cutting machine is fiber laser cutting machine designed for cut various type of tubes, like round, square, Angle, H steel, Channel steel etc.

The square CNC laser tube cutting machine is extensively used in electronic components, automotive parts, cooling pipes, ventilation pipes, signage, and other metal parts processing industries for cutting metal tubes of carbon steel, stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, and alloy.

Tube cutting machine includes :

• Laser tube cutting machine
• Plasma tube cutting machine
• Water jet tube cutting machine 

– Fiber lasers can cut round, square, rectangular and may other shape metal tubes. They can cut precise lengths and also cut notches, holes, and patterns in the tube walls.
– The laser beam is focused down to a narrow point, allowing it to cut around the complete circumference of the tube. The tube can be fed through the laser head to make continuous cuts at any angles or patterns.
– Fiber laser cutting of tubes is very fast and efficient. The entire cut is made at once by the laser beam, so cutting speed mainly depends on the motion system moving the tube. This can be faster than mechanical cutting and welding of tubes.

Here are some important safety precautions to take when cutting metal tubes with a fiber laser:

– Wear laser safety goggles to protect your eyes from laser radiation and bright flashes from the cutting process. The laser beam can damage your eyes, so eye protection is critical.

– Wear protective gloves, clothing, and shoes. Molten metal slag and particles can be hot, sharp, and uncomfortable against your skin. Proper protective gear prevents burns and cuts.

– Ensure proper ventilation and use an exhaust system to remove fumes. Laser cutting metal tubes produces harmful gases and metal vapors that must be vented out of the area. Adequate ventilation and fume extraction equipment is necessary for safe operation.

– Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Although the laser cutting process is controlled, fires can occur if flammable materials or gases are present. Having a fire extinguisher close at hand allows you to quickly extinguish any fires that may start during cutting.

– Avoid direct exposure to laser radiation. Do not stare directly at the laser beam or reflective surfaces, and avoid letting the beam hit your body. The high power density of the laser beam can cause damage to your eyes and skin.

– Follow all safety precautions recommended by the laser cutter manufacturer. Laser cutters have specific requirements and recommendations to prevent injuries and fires. Carefully follow all guidelines provided in the laser cutter’s instructions to ensure safe and responsible operation.

Following these safety precautions will help you cut metal tubes safely and effectively with a fiber laser cutting machine. Always put safety first when operating powerful equipment like laser cutters. If you have any questions or concerns, consult the laser cutter manufacturer.

Here are some best practices for maintaining a fiber laser cutting machine:

– Keep the laser optics clean. The laser optics can accumulate dirt and debris during cutting, which degrades cutting performance. Gently clean the optics with approved cleaning supplies and cloths. Do not touch the optics with your bare hands.

– Perform regular inspections of the laser system. Check that all components are properly connected, not damaged, and not excessively worn. Look for any signs of leaks or corrosion in gas lines or coolant systems. Performing regular inspections helps identify issues early before they lead to costlier damage or downtime.

– Follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Most fiber laser cutters will require certain regular maintenance like lubricating motion systems, calibrating positional sensors, replacing filters, and other tasks. Follow the recommended schedule to keep your laser cutter running well and to maintain your warranty coverage or service contract.

– Keep the work area and exterior clean. Wipe down the exterior of the laser cutter and keep your work area free of debris and clutter. Built-up dirt and dust can affect cooling and gases, and a messy workspace can lead to accidents or wasted time looking for materials or tools.

– Receive necessary training. If you are operating or maintaining the fiber laser cutter, get proper training on safety, use, and maintenance. Laser cutters are complex machines and receiving in-depth training will allow you to use the machine to its full potential and maintain it properly for best performance and longevity.

Following best practices for maintenance will keep your fiber laser cutting machine running well and help avoid costly issues or downtime. With regular cleaning, inspections, and proper maintenance, fiber laser cutters can have long lifespans and stable, efficient performance. Always follow the manufacturer’s specific recommendations for your laser cutter model.
