With the development of mechanical industrialization, shipbuilding technology is constantly upgrading and improving, and laser cutting machine is the representative of technological progress, and plays an irreplaceable role in the shipbuilding industry. What are the roles of laser cutting machine in shipbuilding industry?
In recent years, “precision shipbuilding” and “fast shipbuilding” have become the main trends in the development of shipbuilding industry. Laser cutting machine technology has developed rapidly, accounting for more than 70% of the entire laser processing industry. The shipbuilding industry mainly uses steel plate as raw material, and uses laser to cut plates. Compared with the previous processing technology of punch, it greatly shortens the production cycle and reduces the cost. After the assembly allowance is eliminated by using laser cutting machine for blanking, the waste of labor and materials is reduced, the frame assembly speed is significantly accelerated, and the assembly quality is significantly improved.
At present, flame cutting, plasma cutting, shearing and bending processing and laser cutting are mainly used for blanking of hull plate parts in the shipbuilding industry. Compared with laser cutting, the previous ones have many shortcomings. In the field of shipbuilding, laser cutting avoids the occurrence of uneven cutting quality due to the setting of cutting allowance on the plate and manual cutting in order to ensure the assembly clearance when plasma blanking the plate. So as to reduce the workload of assembly, assembly cycle, material and labor cost waste.
The marine steel plate cut by laser has good kerf quality, good perpendicularity of the kerf surface, no slag, thin oxide layer, smooth surface, no need for secondary processing, can be directly welded, small thermal deformation, high curve cutting accuracy, and barrier free cutting of high-strength ship plates. The laser cutting machine will be applied in more shipbuilding enterprises in the future, and the high-power laser cutting machine will also be the trend in the future.
