How to choose a suitable Fiber Laser Pipe Cutting Machine?

1. Confirm cutting requirements: Determine the size (diameter, wall thickness, length, etc.) and material (such as stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum alloy, etc.) of the pipe to be cut, as well as the cutting process to be performed (such as cutting, drilling, oblique cutting, intersecting line cutting, etc.). At the same time, possible changes in processing demands in the future should also be considered.

2. Match processing capability: According to the diameter of the pipe, it can be divided into large (chuck above 220), medium (chuck between 120-220), and small (for pipes below 60mm) laser cutting machines. According to the degree of automation, there are types such as fully automatic, semi-automatic, and manual feeding. Choose the appropriate laser cutting capability and automation level based on daily processing volume.

3. Determine cutting gas: Understand the cutting gases applicable to the equipment (such as air, nitrogen, oxygen, etc.), as well as the requirements for gas purity (such as nitrogen purity reaching 99.999%), to ensure the provision of suitable cutting auxiliary gases.

               
4. Equipment quality: Pay attention to product configuration, such as the quality and performance of core components such as fiber lasers (such as German IPG lasers), control systems, cutting heads, etc.

5. Price: Do not simply pursue low prices to avoid falling into the trap of poor quality, but also choose cost-effective equipment based on your own budget, considering the balance between equipment performance, configuration, and price.

6. On site inspection and sampling: If possible, you can go to the manufacturer for on-site inspection to understand their production scale and actual situation. Before purchasing, it is best to have the manufacturer make a sample to observe whether the cutting effect meets the requirements, including cutting accuracy, cutting surface quality, and the presence of burrs.

7. After sales service: Understand the manufacturer's after-sales service capabilities, including response time, problem-solving efficiency, etc. Good after-sales service can solve problems in a timely manner during equipment use and reduce losses.
