It is mainly reflected in its high-precision cutting ability, efficiency improvement, material optimization and process innovation, and is particularly suitable for the demand for complex pipe structures in shipbuilding. The following is a specific analysis:
1. High-precision cutting and complex shape processing
DADI CNC fiber laser tube cutting machinehttps://www.dadilaser.com/Laser-Tube-Cutting-Machine/122.html uses high-power laser beams (such as 20,000W fiber lasers) and non-contact cutting technology to cut various types of metal pipes (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.) with an accuracy of ±0.03mm. This accuracy is crucial in the manufacture of ship piping systems, such as the cutting of fuel pipes, hydraulic pipes and structural support pipes, which can ensure seamless docking and sealing and reduce the risk of leakage.
In addition, laser cutting supports one-time forming of complex curves, small holes and special-shaped sections, replacing traditional stamping or milling processes, significantly shortening the processing cycle.
2. Improve material utilization and cost control
1. Reduce waste: Optimize the pipe cutting path through intelligent nesting software, maximize the use of raw materials, and increase material utilization by more than 15%. For example, marine pipes often need to be cut in multiple sections of different lengths, and intelligent pattern arrangement can reduce scraps.
2. Reduce subsequent processing costs: The laser cut cuts are burr-free, have a thin oxide layer and a smooth surface, and can be directly welded or assembled, eliminating secondary processes such as grinding and straightening, saving labor and time costs.
3. Replace traditional processes: Compared with plasma or flame cutting, DADI CNC fiber laser cutting does not require frequent mold changes, and is particularly suitable for small batches and multi-variety customized production needs of ships.
3. Adapt to the needs of lightweight and high-strength materials for ships
In order to reduce energy consumption, modern ships widely use lightweight designs (such as aluminum alloys or high-strength steel). DADI fiber laser tube cutting machines can efficiently cut these materials while keeping the cut surface flat to avoid thermal deformation affecting material strength. For example, laser-cut aluminum alloy pipes can be used in hull structures without additional processing, meeting the dual needs of lightweight and corrosion resistance.
In addition, DADI CNC laser cutting has significant advantages in processing high-strength steel. Its low heat input characteristics can prevent the material from hardening or embrittlement, ensuring the safety performance of key ship components.
IV. Promote the intelligent and green shipbuilding process
1. Automation integration: The fiber laser tube cutting machine can be linked with robots and CNC systems to achieve fully automatic loading and unloading and cutting, support 24-hour continuous production, and improve shipbuilding efficiency. For example, through offline programming and Internet of Things technology, the equipment can remotely monitor and adjust cutting parameters to meet flexible production needs.
2. Environmental protection and energy saving: Laser cutting has no exhaust gas emissions and low noise, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency of DADI CNC fiber laser is as high as 30%, and the energy consumption is lower than that of CO2 laser, which is in line with the green transformation trend of the shipbuilding industry.
V. Responding to the challenges of thick plates and special materials
Although fiber lasers are traditionally better at thin plate cutting, combined with pressurized oxygen-assisted technology (such as LASOX process), DADI CNC equipment can be expanded to thick plate processing. For example, by optimizing the laser power and airflow parameters, the cutting thickness can reach more than 50mm, meeting the needs of large ship structures while maintaining cutting speed and economy.
In addition, laser cutting can process special materials such as galvanized sheets and composite metals, avoiding coating damage or delamination problems caused by traditional cutting.
Summary
DADI CNC fiber laser pipe cutting machine has become the core equipment for pipe processing in the shipbuilding industry through its high precision, high efficiency, intelligence and environmental protection characteristics. It not only improves the quality and efficiency of shipbuilding, but also reduces the overall cost through material optimization and process innovation, and promotes the shipbuilding industry to upgrade to "precision shipbuilding" and "fast shipbuilding". In the future, with the further development of high-power fiber laser technology, its application in thick plate cutting and complex pipe system manufacturing will be further expanded.
