To meet the increasing demand for bending pipe cutting, we have developed a professional elbow laser cutting machine.
1. Applications: Laser cutting of car exhaust pipes, car frame cutting, car chassis components cutting, kitchen and bathroom elbow cutting, fitness equipment cutting, water pipe elbow cutting, tailpipe cutting.
2. Power: 1KW – 4KW.
3. Gas used: Oxygen, air, and nitrogen are all applicable.
4. System structure: The workpiece can rotate, the cutting head can rotate, and the positioner can be linked for cutting.
5. Others: It can be equipped with tooling fixtures and provide pipe internal dust removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum pipe diameter the Elbow Laser Cutting Machine can handle?
The machine can process pipe diameters from 20 mm up to 220 mm, with a maximum workpiece length of 6,000 mm, accommodating most standard industrial elbow preforms.
What cutting tolerance can I expect for elbow miters and bevels?
The system achieves a positioning accuracy of ±0.03 mm and a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.02 mm, ensuring consistent bevel angles and miter cuts for high-quality weld joints.
What is the typical cycle time for cutting a standard 90-degree elbow?
For a 4-inch schedule 40 carbon steel elbow, the total cutting cycle time is approximately 45 seconds, including automatic loading, tube rotation, and bevel preparation.
What is the maximum wall thickness this machine can cut?
The laser source (available in 1.5 kW to 6 kW configurations) can cut carbon steel elbows with a wall thickness up to 12 mm, depending on the selected laser power.
What is the total cost of ownership including maintenance for the first year?
The annual maintenance cost is approximately $3,800, covering laser source preventive care, lens cleaning kits, and software updates, while the machine base price starts at $185,000 for a standard 3 kW configuration.
What is the machine’s IP rating and recommended operating temperature range?
The enclosure is rated IP54 for dust and splash protection, with a recommended operating temperature range of 5°C to 40°C, ensuring stable performance in typical factory environments.
