Abstract:
Elaborated in the paper are the main aspects of a laser cutting system for the steel tube production line,including the working principle, the equipment configuration, the operation process flow and the application effectiveness. The actual application result shows that using laser to cut the steel pipe is capable of meeting the production requirement for pipe cross section quality;the costs for the tools and dies are remarkably reduced;installation of the system just results in very little modification of the existing production line proper,and the short construction time produces no negative influence on normal production activities.
