Traditional punching equipment will cause hole surface depression, inaccurate hole position, burrs on the hole surface, etc. when processing and opening holes in pipes. Laser cutting machines have avoided these problems with their own advantages such as flexibility, high precision, and high efficiency. Understanding the four tips for laser hole opening can make metal processing more efficient.

1. Pay attention to the servo motor parameter error

Circular holes sometimes appear elliptical or irregular. This is related to the mismatch of XY axis movement. The direct cause of the mismatch of XY axis movement is the inappropriate adjustment of servo motor parameters. Therefore, the quality of cutting circular holes with laser tube cutting machines also requires servo motors.

2. Pay attention to the air pressure

When using the laser tube cutting machine to cut holes, when the air pressure is too low, edge scraping and carbonization will occur, and excessive pressure will easily cause holes to burst. Therefore, this requires the process proofer to cooperate with the machine and select the appropriate air pressure based on experience to make the cut circular holes fuller.

3. Pay attention to the size of the cutting aperture

Because the ratio of the laser cutting machine to cut round holes is 1:1, that is, the ratio of the aperture to the plate thickness is 1:1, that is, the larger the aperture, the easier it is to cut a high-quality round hole. Otherwise, when the fiber laser cutting machine is insufficient in energy, it is easy to have residual breakpoints and the round hole is not round when cutting small holes.

4. The precision error of the guide rail and the lead screw causes the cutting accuracy to fail to reach the ideal value

If the servo motor parameter error affects the cutting quality, then the precision error of the guide rail and the lead screw will directly cause the round hole accuracy to fail to meet expectations. This is related to the production strength of the laser cutting machine manufacturer, because the powerful manufacturers use high-quality accessories, and this phenomenon generally does not occur.

The above four points are the precautions that affect the laser tube cutting machine when cutting holes. When the effect of using the laser tube cutting machine is not ideal, you can also refer to the above matters to eliminate the problems during use.
