Laser Tube Cutting Feed Method Efficiency Test Report

2025-04-09

Mingzhou Smart Factory - Production Floor Test

Objective:
To compare cutting efficiency between front loading and side loading methods on our laser tube cutting system.

Test Parameters:

  • Tube specification: 23(W) × 11(H) × 0.4(T) mm, 6m length

  • Cutting speed: 6 meters/minute

  • Laser generator: 1500W

  • Assist gas: Compressed air

Methodology:
Real-world testing conducted with production equipment under standard operating conditions.

Analysis:
(See following section for detailed efficiency comparison between front/side loading)


1. Front Loading  

Cutting time:6 minute 38 seconds

  • Advantages:

    • Linear feeding mechanism, ideal for long tubes (e.g., 6m) in continuous processing.

    • No rotation or realignment needed; directly positions the tube for cutting.

    • Shorter feeding distance, fewer mechanical movements.

  • Performance:

    • Likely 10%-20% faster per cut cycle (feeding + cutting).

    • Optimal for batch cutting identical lengths.

2. Side Loading  

Cutting time:7 minute 11 seconds

  • Disadvantages:

    • Requires lateral movement for positioning, increasing setup time.

    • Thin-walled tubes (0.4mm) may need careful clamping to avoid deformation.

    • Lateral handling of 6m tubes risks vibration, requiring stabilization.

  • Niche Use Case:

    • More flexible for multi-angle cuts (e.g., beveling).

Conclusion

Front loading is faster for long, thin square tubes:

  • Estimated time savings: 15%-30% (varies by equipment precision and operator skill).

  • Recommended unless side loading is process-critical
