Fiber Laser Tube Cutting for Aluminum | High-Precision Machines

A fiber laser tube cutting machine for aluminum tube is specialized to address the unique challenges of cutting aluminum tubes, which are known for their high reflectivity and thermal conductivity. This machine utilizes a fiber laser source with power outputs ranging from 2kW to 6kW, optimized to penetrate aluminum’s reflective surface and deliver efficient cutting. The laser wavelength is carefully selected to maximize absorption by aluminum, while an assist gas such as nitrogen is used to prevent oxidation and ensure clean, burr-free cut edges. The machine’s CNC control system allows precise adjustment of parameters like laser power, cutting speed, and gas flow to minimize heat distortion in aluminum tubes with wall thicknesses from 0.5mm to 5mm. A rotating chuck system securely holds the tube during cutting, enabling complex cuts such as miters, slots, and holes on round, square, or rectangular aluminum tubes. Key features include a dynamic focusing system to maintain cut quality at different tube diameters, a cooling system to prevent laser overheating, and a vision system for automatic tube alignment. This machine is widely used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and electronics, where lightweight aluminum tubes are essential for components such as aircraft frames, automotive exhaust systems, and electronic enclosures.
