Automobile manufacturing is not only the benchmark of national industrial strength, but also the core track for the integration of high-end manufacturing and cutting-edge technology. Currently, with the explosive growth of new energy vehicles, the lightweighting and acceleration of commercial vehicles, and the significant shortening of vehicle iteration cycles, traditional stamping and flame cutting processes are facing pain points such as high mold costs, large thermal deformation, insufficient flexibility, and serious material waste, making it difficult to adapt to the new industry demands of "multiple varieties, small batches, high precision, and fast delivery".
Ritman Laser deeply cultivates high-power laser cutting technology, covering all models of 6-30kW full power matrix, plate and tube steel, and customized automotive specific processes, providing full scenario solutions for passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and component manufacturing, becoming the core engine driving intelligent transformation, cost reduction, and efficiency improvement in the automotive industry.
Commercial vehicles/heavy-duty trucks: precision cutting of thick plates, efficient intelligent manufacturing of large beam frames
The core structural components of commercial vehicles, such as frames, beams, and carriage plates, are subjected to heavy loads and complex road conditions for a long time. They are mostly made of 6-16mm carbon steel/high-strength steel (AH36/EH36), requiring whole plate cutting, integrated groove forming, and stable accuracy. The Ritman GF ground rail ultra large format series is equipped with the Red Rabbit series 12-30kW high-power laser, which can stably cut carbon steel with a thickness of 80mm and a maximum of 100mm, perfectly adapting to the processing needs of whole boards with a length of 6-12m.
The heavy-duty bed is designed to resist deformation and is equipped with intelligent nesting software specifically designed for automobiles. The cutting accuracy reaches * * ± 0.05mm * *, and the perpendicularity of the groove is ≤ 0.5 °. It can be directly welded without the need for secondary polishing, meeting the strict assembly standards of commercial vehicles. Compared with traditional flame cutting, the frame production capacity has been increased by over 35%, the material utilization rate has reached over 90%, and the comprehensive production cost has been reduced by over 25%, helping heavy truck enterprises quickly respond to market orders and shorten delivery cycles.
New energy passenger vehicles: Lightweight and precision machining, laying a solid foundation for safe driving range
The core competitiveness of new energy vehicles lies in their lightweight, high safety, and long endurance. Key components such as battery pack trays, chassis reinforcements, A/B pillars, and door inner panels are extensively made of new materials such as aluminum alloys, hot formed high-strength steel, and galvanized sheets. The cutting process requires the ultimate requirements of no burrs, low deformation, and high precision.
Ritman dual platform/FC exchange series, with precise power adaptation of 6-12kW, is designed for 2-6mm aluminum alloy battery pack trays, achieving burr free and low heat deformation cutting. The sealing surface accuracy reaches ± 0.03mm, directly ensuring the waterproof welding quality of the battery pack. For 1.5-4mm hot formed high-strength steel chassis parts, the 3D five axis cutting system can complete precision machining of heat affected zones<0.1mm without damaging the strength of the base material, completely replacing traditional mold stamping, reducing mold costs by 3 million yuan/year, and reducing material waste by 25%.
From high-speed flight cutting of 0.8mm cold-rolled car door inner panels (at a speed of hundreds of meters per minute) to burr free forming of complex contour interior skeleton, Ritman Laser assists new energy vehicle companies in achieving "lightweight+high-precision+flexible" production, effectively improving the driving range and overall vehicle safety performance.
Automotive pipe/section steel: customized for special machines, one-time molding of complex pipe fittings
The automotive chassis fittings, anti-collision beams, seat frames, exhaust pipes, and H-shaped steel beams and columns are the core supports of the overall structural strength of the vehicle. They require complex processing such as intersecting line drilling, slope openings, locking openings, and corner cutting. Traditional sawing, drilling, and polishing processes are cumbersome, costly, and inefficient.
Ritman TQ heavy-duty four chuck pipe cutting machine (12-20kW) is suitable for thick walled pipes with a diameter of 200-1000mm. The four chuck self centering clamping achieves zero tail material cutting, and one click completion of intersection line, groove, and locking processing, without the need for secondary processing. The cutting efficiency is 2-3 times that of traditional processes. The GG steel dedicated laser cutting machine (15-30kW) is equipped with a three-dimensional five axis system, which can complete the full process customized processing of H-beams, channel steels, and angle steels, replacing traditional flame cutting. The accuracy is doubled, the thermal deformation is minimal, and the finished products can be directly assembled, greatly improving the processing efficiency and assembly quality of steel structural components.
Vehicle body covering parts&trial production: flexible intelligent manufacturing, short cycle and low-cost breakthrough
The trial production of car body panels (doors, side panels, engine hood) and new models has the characteristics of multiple varieties, small batches, and fast iteration. Traditional mold stamping requires a development cycle of 3-6 months, which is expensive and difficult to adapt to the needs of rapid trial production.
The Ritman single platform series (6-12kW) supports direct import of 3D digital models, enabling high-precision shape and hole cutting of 0.8-2.5mm cold-rolled/aluminum plates without the need for molds. Sample production can be completed in 2-4 weeks, reducing trial production costs by over 60%. For interior parts, ventilation grilles and other outfitting components, high-speed burr free cutting technology ensures that the workpiece does not deform and the finished product is aesthetically pleasing, without the need for subsequent polishing, helping car companies achieve "unmanned" flexible production and quickly respond to personalized customization needs in the market.
