How to Choose a Laser Tube Cutting Machine for Stainless Steel Processing Factories

Stainless steel processing factories should select a suitable laser tube cutting machine based on their production needs (material, thickness, and output). Here are the key factors to consider:

What Are You Cutting?

• Material Thickness:

  • ≤3mm stainless steel → 1500W laser power

  • ≤10mm stainless steel → 3000W laser power

  • For thicker materials → 6000W or higher

• Tube Size:

  • Large tubes (≥220mm diameter) → Machines with large chucks

  • Medium tubes (120-220mm) → Mid-sized machines

  • Small tubes (≤60mm) → Compact models

• Production Volume:

  • High-volume daily cutting → Fully automatic (with auto-loading/unloading)

  • Occasional cutting → Manual or semi-automatic machines

Machine Performance

• Laser Power: Higher power = faster & thicker cuts, but more expensive.

• Cutting Precision:

  • High precision (±0.1mm) for fine processing

  • Standard (±0.2mm) for general use

  • High acceleration (e.g., 1.5G) for precision work

• Core Components:

  • Laser source: IPG, Raycus (reliable brands)

  • Galvo scanners, rails, etc. → Choose well-known brands for stability & durability

Brand & After-Sales Service

• Reputable Brands: Han’s Laser, Bodor, Mingzhou Intelligent (reliable quality & support)

• Warranty & Service:

  • Minimum 2-year warranty

  • Fast repair response time (downtime = lost production)

Budget Considerations

• High budget? → Fully automatic, high-power machine (saves labor costs)

• Limited budget? → Mid-power semi-automatic (cost-effective)

• Consider long-term costs:

  • Machine price + consumables (lenses, gas) + electricity

  • Fully automatic = higher upfront cost but lower labor expenses

Test Before Buying

• Request sample cuts to check quality

• Visit the factory or existing customers to see real-world performance

Conclusion

Choose based on your needs:

• High budget? → Premium fully automatic machines

• Limited budget? → Mid-range semi-automatic models

• After-sales service is crucial!
