Flying cutting (also known as dynamic cutting or on-the-fly cutting) is a high-efficiency, continuous cutting technology used primarily for mass production of tubular materials. Its core principle lies in the synchronized movement between the laser head and the tube, enabling uninterrupted cutting.
Below is a detailed breakdown of its working principle:
Synchronized Motion Control
The tube moves continuously (rotating or advancing) while the laser head dynamically adjusts its position and focus to maintain the laser beam’s alignment with the cutting point.
The CNC system calculates real-time trajectory coordination to ensure cutting precision.
Dynamic Focus Adjustment
Servo motors or hydraulic systems adjust the laser focus in real time to accommodate curved or irregular tube surfaces, preventing focal deviation.
Continuous Cutting Mode
Unlike traditional stop-and-go cutting, flying cutting performs cuts while the tube is in motion, eliminating idle time.
