Application of laser cutting machine in shipbuilding industry

Release time:2023-02-13

The continuous development of shipbuilding technology has led to major changes in shipbuilding materials and ship design. The application of laser cutting machine in shipbuilding has its unique characteristics, which is closely related to the processing and application characteristics of the ship itself. The unique high accuracy and plasticity of laser cutting machine are highly consistent with the shipbuilding industry. So, what are the specific applications of laser cutting machine in shipbuilding?

In recent years, "precision shipbuilding" and "rapid shipbuilding" have become the main trends in the development of shipbuilding industry. Laser cutting machine technology has been rapidly developed, 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 reduces the production cycle and costs. After the laser cutting machine is used for blanking to eliminate the assembly allowance, the phenomenon of on-site repair and cutting is eliminated, the waste of labor and materials is reduced, the frame assembly speed is significantly accelerated, and the assembly quality is significantly improved.

At present, the cutting methods of hull plate parts in shipbuilding industry are mainly flame cutting, plasma cutting, plate shearing and bending and laser cutting. Compared with laser cutting, the former ones have many disadvantages. In the field of shipbuilding, laser cutting avoids the occurrence of uneven cutting quality by setting trimming allowance on the plate to ensure the assembly clearance when plasma is used to cut the plate. So as to reduce the workload, assembly cycle, material and labor costs of assembly.

The marine steel plate cut by laser has good cutting quality, good perpendicularity of the cutting surface, no slagging, thin oxide layer, smooth surface, no secondary processing, direct welding, small thermal deformation, high curve cutting accuracy, reduced working hours, and achieved barrier-free cutting of high-strength ship plate. 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 future trend. At present, the sales volume of Bond Laser 20000W has exceeded 20, far ahead of other manufacturers in the market.
