The continuous development of shipbuilding technology has led to significant changes in shipbuilding materials and ship design. The application of laser cutting machine in shipbuilding has its uniqueness, which is closely related to the processing and application characteristics of the ship itself. The unique high precision 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 trend of the development of shipbuilding industry, laser cutting machine technology has been rapid development, accounting for more than 70% of the whole laser processing industry. Shipbuilding industry is mainly based on steel plate raw materials, the use of laser cutting plate, compared with the previous punching process, greatly shorten the production cycle and reduce costs. The use of laser cutting machine to eliminate the assembly surplus, eliminate the phenomenon of on-site cutting, reduce the waste of labor and materials, frame assembly speed is significantly accelerated, assembly quality is significantly improved.
At present, the cutting methods of hull plate parts in shipbuilding industry mainly include flame cutting, plasma cutting, shearing bending and laser cutting. The first several relative to laser cutting has many shortcomings. In the field of Marine manufacturing, laser cutting avoids plasma plate blanking, in order to ensure the assembly gap, and set the cutting margin on the plate, and through manual cutting, resulting in uneven cutting quality. Thus reduce the assembly workload, assembly cycle, material and labor cost waste.
The Marine steel plate cut by laser has good seam quality, good verticality of the incision surface, no hanging slag, thin oxide layer, smooth surface, no need for secondary processing, direct welding, small thermal deformation, high curve cutting precision, reduce working hours, and achieve accessible cutting high strength ship plate. Laser cutting machine will be applied in more shipbuilding enterprises in the future, and high power laser cutting machine is bound to be the future trend
