Functional advantages of laser cutting feeding line
Automated continuous operation: This cutting line can realize one-stop automated production from coils to finished products. The uncoiling, leveling, feeding and laser cutting processes are closely connected, without frequent manual intervention, which greatly reduces the downtime in production. Take a metal processing company as an example. After the introduction of the uncoiling, leveling and feeding laser cutting line, the plate processing process that originally required multiple processes, multi-person collaboration and a long time can now be completed automatically and continuously by the equipment, and the production efficiency has been improved several times compared with the past.
High-speed cutting and feeding: Laser cutting technology itself has the characteristics of high-speed cutting. With the precise and efficient feeding system, cutting and feeding can be seamlessly connected and run synchronously. Some advanced uncoiling, leveling and feeding laser cutting lines can achieve a cutting speed of several meters per minute or even higher, and the feeding accuracy can also be controlled within a very small error range, ensuring the efficiency and stability of production. For example, in the large-scale production of automotive parts, this high-speed cutting and feeding capability can quickly produce a large number of high-precision parts, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of the production line.
24-hour non-stop operation: Thanks to the high degree of automation and strong equipment stability, the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line can easily achieve 24-hour non-stop production. Enterprises can make full use of non-working hours such as nighttime for continuous processing, which greatly improves equipment utilization and increases product output. According to statistics, some enterprises that implement a three-shift production mode have increased their monthly product output by more than 50% compared with the previous traditional processing methods through the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line.
High-precision processing to ensure product quality
The high-precision advantage of laser cutting: Laser cutting uses a high-energy-density laser beam to instantly melt or vaporize the material to achieve fine cutting of the plate. Compared with traditional mechanical cutting methods, the incision width of laser cutting is narrower, generally controllable between 0.1-0.3mm, and the cutting edge is neat and smooth, without obvious burrs and deformation. In the electronics and electrical industry, for the processing of some precision parts, such as mobile phone shells, computer radiators, etc., the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line can accurately cut out complex shapes and fine structures, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the products, and meeting the industry's strict requirements for high precision of parts.
Leveling process ensures the flatness of the sheet: Before cutting, the coil needs to go through the leveling process. Advanced leveling equipment repeatedly rolls and stretches the sheet through multiple sets of correction rollers, which can effectively eliminate the internal stress and unevenness generated by the coil during the curling process, so that the sheet can achieve a higher flatness. The leveled sheet is then laser cut to further ensure the flatness and precision of the workpiece after cutting. Taking the kitchenware industry as an example, for the processing of stainless steel kitchenware sheets, after being processed by the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line, the flatness of the product is significantly improved, effectively reducing the scrap rate caused by uneven sheets, and improving product quality and market competitiveness.
High positioning and feeding accuracy: The unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line is equipped with a high-precision positioning and feeding system, which can accurately control the position and feeding length of the plate. Through advanced sensors and control systems, the feeding accuracy can reach ±0.05mm or even higher, ensuring the accurate position of each cut. In industries such as aerospace that require extremely high precision of parts, this high-precision positioning and feeding capability is essential for producing parts that meet strict standards, effectively ensuring the quality and performance of the product.
Reduce costs and improve economic benefits
Save raw materials: Using coils as raw materials, compared with the traditional single-sheet feeding method, the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line will hardly produce material head and tail loss during the cutting process. At the same time, the optimized layout function of the equipment can reasonably combine parts of various shapes to achieve no overlap or small overlap cutting, maximizing the material utilization rate. It is estimated that the material utilization rate can be increased by 10% - 20% compared with the traditional method when using the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line for production. For some industries with a high proportion of raw material costs, such as automobile manufacturing and metal furniture production, this will bring significant savings in raw material costs.
Reducing labor costs: The automated production process greatly reduces the dependence on labor. From unwinding, leveling, feeding to laser cutting, the entire process only requires a few operators to monitor and maintain the equipment. Compared with the traditional processing method that requires a large number of people to load and unload, carry and cut, the unwinding, leveling and feeding laser cutting line can effectively reduce labor costs. For example, in a metal products processing plant, after the introduction of this cutting line, the sheet processing task that originally required 10 workers to complete now only requires 2-3 workers, and the labor cost is greatly reduced.
Reducing equipment and mold costs: Compared with traditional processing equipment such as punch blanking lines, unwinding, leveling and feeding laser cutting lines do not need to make special molds for workpieces of different shapes. When traditional punches process different workpieces, they need to frequently change molds. Not only is the mold making cost high, but the time to change the mold will also affect production efficiency. Laser cutting only needs to input the corresponding cutting program in the control system to easily realize the cutting of workpieces of various shapes, which greatly reduces the cost of equipment and molds, and also improves the flexibility and response speed of production.
Reduce the cost of scrap rate: Since the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line can achieve high-precision processing, it effectively reduces the scrap caused by insufficient processing accuracy. The lower scrap rate means that the company does not need to bear additional costs for rework or scrapping of scrapped products, and also reduces the waste of raw materials. In large-scale production, the reduction of this part of the cost is of great significance to the improvement of the economic benefits of the enterprise. For example, in some high-end manufacturing industries with strict requirements on product quality, by using the unwinding and leveling feeding laser cutting line, the scrap rate can be reduced from the original 5% - 10% to 1% - 2%, saving a lot of costs for the enterprise.
