The automobile industry is one of the most important industries in every country. The market share in the auto parts industry is an important indicator to test whether a brand is trustworthy. We have developed different unique cutting machines for this industry, which are preferable by auto parts customers.
Why choose laser cutting?
Many manufacturers in the auto parts industry face these pain points when using traditional circular sawing machines for cutting and processing:
- Burrs
- Large loss
- Poor accuracy
- High consumables
The laser tube cutting machine has the following advantages compared with circular sawing machine:
1. High accuracy
| Laser cutter | Saw blade cutter | |
| Cutting accuracy | ± 0.05 - 0.1 mm | 0.3 -0.5 mm |
| Position tolerance | ± 0.05 mm | 0.3 -0.5 mm |
2. Low material loss
| Laser cutter | Saw blade cutter | |
| Cutting speed | Less than 1 s/pc | 5 - 10 s/pc |
| Burr | Clean & net | With burrs |
| Cutting Loss | 0.1 mm/cut | 1.5 - 3.5 mm/cut |
| Labor cost | 4 - 5 machines/person | 1 machine/person |
| Cutting cost | Saw blade & re-sharpening cost | Lens and nozzles |
| Skilled labor | Need, otherwise occur working risk | No need |
3. High efficiency
Cutting capacity ( automotive shock absorbers production )
| Outer diameter | 45 mm | 29.4 mm | 29 mm |
| Wall thickness | 1 mm | 1.2 mm | 1 mm |
| Length | 187 mm | 304 mm | 172 mm |
| Cycle time | 2.39 s | 2.55 s | 2.32 s |
| Qty/hour | 1, 504 pcs | 1, 413 pcs | 1, 554 pcs |
4. Short tailings
| Laser cutter | Saw blade cutter | |
| Tailing | Can reach 40 mm | 140 - 200 mm |
5. Burr-free cutting
No burr, no deformation, and LX's special dedust technology can offer clean tube inner wall
