Fuel Tank Automatic Laser Cutting Case – 1500W Laser + 6-Axis Industrial Robot Application

Fuel Tank Automatic Laser Cutting Case - 1500W Laser + 6-Axis Industrial Robot Application

1、Process Core

Using a 1500W fiber laser (with stable energy concentration and precise cutting) combined with a six axis industrial robot (flexible fitting of the fuel tank surface, with a repeat positioning accuracy of ± 0.05mm), achieve “one-time clamping, automatic completion of full cutting”.

 

2、Visual comparison with traditional cutting (mechanical/flame cutting)

Comparison item Traditional cutting (mechanical/flame) 1500W laser+robot cutting
Cutting efficiency Cutting one fuel tank takes 8-15 minutes Only 4-5 minutes, efficiency increased by 100%+
Yield rate Only 78% (prone to burrs and large dimensional errors) 99.5% (almost no scrap)
Subsequent polishing Each unit requires manual polishing for 2-3 minutes Completely free from polishing, saving process time
Process flow Need to transfer between multiple workstations (prone to collision) One workstation completes all operations without transfer

 

3、 Actual value

The 1500W laser has stable energy, which can quickly cut the metal material of the fuel tank and control the heat affected zone to be ≤ 0.1mm, ensuring smooth cutting.
After the renovation of a certain factory, the daily production capacity increased from 60 units to 120 units at a rate of 8 hours per day, doubling the output.
When producing 100000 units annually, it can save over 500000 yuan in equipment investment and consumables costs in one year, and the monthly scrap loss has decreased from 120000 yuan to almost zero.
