Key Components and Motion Control
1. Machine Bed
The machine bed is fabricated from welded steel plates and tubular sections. After welding, it undergoes high-temperature stress-relief annealing at 600°C, is held at that temperature for 4.5 hours, and then slowly cooled in the furnace to 200–300°C before being removed for air cooling. This process effectively eliminates internal stress in the bed. After rough machining, it is then precision machined, which greatly improves the rigidity and stability of the machine tool and ensures long-term stable accuracy.
The machine adopts a side-mounted structure and can be equipped with an automatic loading system, which effectively improves loading efficiency and makes unloading more convenient.
1.1 Rigidity
The machine bed is welded from steel plates and tubular sections. Its structure is reinforced by multiple ribbed tube-and-plate connections linking the transverse and longitudinal sections of the bed, ensuring excellent rigidity.
1.2 Welding:
The weld seams on both sides are evenly distributed, and symmetrical as well as staggered welding is adopted to reduce welding deformation. An annealing report is provided for each machine bed according to its individual serial number.
2. Semi-automatic Loading and Unloading System
It can realize automatic loading of four raw materials at a time. The loading process is matched with a centering clamping jaw for positioning, while the rear clamp accurately grips the profile and pushes it forward into the front clamp.
2.1 The standard machine can store up to 5 pieces of material for continuous loading. For a capacity of more than 5 pieces, customization is required.
2.2 A pneumatic flip support is used to lift and support the tube during processing, reducing tube swinging and preventing accuracy deviations caused by such movement.
3. Gantry, X-Axis, and Z-Axis Assembly
3.1 The gantry is annealed to eliminate internal stress, ensuring the rigidity and stability of the moving components of the laser head. During operation, the travel is controlled by limit switches, and elastic buffer pads are also installed at both ends as mechanical travel limits to ensure the safety of system operation.
3.2 The Z-axis assembly is mainly used to achieve the vertical movement of the laser head. The up-and-down motion of the laser head is controlled by the CNC system through a servo motor, which drives a linear module to move the Z-axis slide plate up and down in a reciprocating manner. Proximity switches are installed at both the upper and lower ends to control the travel, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
4. Cutting Head and Follow-up System
4.1 The sealing performance of the protected area is monitored in real time, effectively extending the service life of the protective lens and ensuring stable production.
4.2 The cutting head is designed with anti-collision protection, effectively reducing the probability of factory return. No on-site after-sales service is required, as customers can replace it themselves, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
4.3 A dust-proof cover is added to the optical lens area to improve the sealing level of the core chamber and extend the service life of the core lenses.
4.4 Equipped with a high-precision capacitive sensor automatic tracking system, it can achieve highly stable Z-axis floating under system control, preventing height errors caused by thermal stress deformation or uneven tube surfaces during tube cutting.
5. Cooling System
A well-known domestic brand professional laser chiller is adopted, featuring good stability and high precision. It is equipped with a dual-circuit temperature control system, which can separately control the temperatures of the laser source and the cutting head. With dual-temperature and dual-control functions, it more effectively ensures the stability of both the laser source and the cutting head.
Its functions include water pressure alarm, high-temperature alarm, low-temperature alarm, voltage alarm, and various fault alarms.

The servo system adopts imported AC servo motors and drives, offering stable and reliable performance, excellent dynamic characteristics, strong load capacity, and easy operation.
The machine’s soft keys provide different functions under different operating modes, thereby reducing the number of operation buttons and simplifying the control panel. In all modes, the operating functions are displayed through menus, making operation more intuitive.
