Laser cutting of tubes, profiles and beams

Laser cutting of pipes, profiles and beams

 

Pipes, profiles and beams are available in various dimensions, materials and designs and are used in a wide range of industries, such as the automotive and construction sectors. Cutting a wide variety of material geometries using fiber lasers is a modern and extremely efficient processing method.

 

 

Pipe, profile and beam processing

Pipes, profiles and beams are different types of semi-finished products that are used in different areas. Profiles and beams have an elongated structure with a specific cross-sectional shape. They are often made of metal and are available in various shapes such as U, L, T or I shapes. They are used in the construction industry in particular to create load-bearing structures for buildings, bridges, towers and other structures, as they offer strength and stability at a relatively low weight. Pipes have a hollow cylindrical structure and are usually made of inflexible materials such as metal, plastic or glass. They are used in particular as supply lines for the transport of liquids or gases or in the construction industry for scaffolding, balconies, banisters and more.

In the conventional production of pipes, profiles and beams, several downstream work steps such as sawing, punching and drilling the components used to be necessary. These individual steps can be combined in one work process using modern laser cutting, saving processing time and production costs. Laser cutting of pipes, profiles and beams is also a very precise processing method and offers a high degree of accuracy and repeatability. Time-consuming reworking, which is sometimes necessary with conventional production methods, can usually be omitted. Pipes, beams and profiles often have to be welded to other pieces. Thanks to the laser cutting process, weld seams can also be reliably prepared in openings or recesses.

Advantages: Laser cutting of pipes, profiles and beams

  • Precise cuts with minimal tolerances
  • Processing of a wide range of different materials
  • Cutting of complex shapes and contours
  • High production speed and efficiency
  • Minimal deformation of the materials
  • High automation potential

 

Areas of application for the laser cutting of pipes, profiles and beams

The laser cutting of pipes, profiles and beams is used in a wide range of industries:

  • Automotive industry: production of frames, exhaust systems and safety structures
  • Aerospace: complex pipes and profiles for structural components, engines and other parts of aircraft
  • Construction industry: manufacture of steel structures, railings, stairs, beams and other architectural components
  • Furniture industry: construction of steel furniture such as tables, chairs, shelves and bed frames
  • Power generation: components for wind turbines, solar plants, power plants and other energy generation facilities
  • Medical technology: production of medical devices, surgical instruments and implants
  • Food industry: pipes and profiles for processing plants, conveyor belts and other equipment
  • Electronics industry: production of housings, heat sinks and holders

These applications are just a few examples, and the use of laser cutting technologies for the production of pipes, profiles and beams in various industries is steadily increasing due to their precision, speed and versatility.
