⚙️ Core Advantages of Laser Tube Cutting

Advantage

vs. Traditional Methods

High Precision

±0.1mm tolerance (outperforms plasma/flame cutting)

Contactless Cutting

No mechanical deformation (ideal for thin-walled tubes)

Complex Shapes

Cuts bevels, 3D curves, and special holes (e.g., clover shapes)

Automation

24/7 production with robotic loaders

Eco-Friendly

No dust pollution; 70% less energy consumption

📌 Industry Case Studies

Automotive Exhaust Manifolds

  • Requirement: Multi-angle branching with weld-ready edges
  • Solution: Single-step laser cutting eliminates milling

Decorative Metal Railings

  • Need: Ornamental stainless steel perforations
  • Result: Laser-cut patterns bent into final shapes
