\t\t\tCustomer case-3d laser cutting-automotive sheet metal<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n

Originally, the customer’s vehicle body parts were typically processed using full sequence die stamping, which required a significant initial investment, a long preparation time for production, and complex stamping processes. This method also made product adjustments difficult and required a large workforce. With the rapid pace of product updates and the increasing variety of products, those who can develop new products first will gain a competitive edge. The full sequence die stamping method, with its lengthy preparation and adjustment periods, is no longer suitable for today’s fast-paced competitive environment.<\/h3>\n

Our 3D laser cutting machine can adjust the cutting path according to the customer’s product number model at will, without opening the full sequence model, the production speed is fast, the cost is very low, and it is widely used in the high-precision automatic cutting of various vehicle sheet metal parts.<\/h3>\n

The service life of the robot we choose is up to 100,000 hours (about 30 years of working time), using fiber laser cutting, the energy conversion rate is up to 30%, the use cost is low (taking 800W laser cutting carbon steel as an example, the whole machine use cost is about 20 yuan\/hour), simple operation (0 basic personnel training can be on duty in one week), easy maintenance.<\/h3>\n

  • 01<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We place a high emphasis on product stability, which is why we have optimized the circuitry, gas lines, and cooling systems. We have also chosen high-performance dual-temperature dual-control chillers to ensure effective cooling of both the laser and the cutting head, thereby extending their lifespan and reducing the frequency of focusing lens replacements. Additionally, our lasers come with sealed electrical cabinets and are equipped with German Wirt industrial air conditioners to maintain a stable external environment for the laser.<\/p>\n

              Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

              What is the maximum sheet metal thickness your laser cutting system can handle for vehicle body panels?<\/h3>\n

              Our Intouchray fiber laser cutting systems can process vehicle sheet metal up to 25 mm thick in mild steel and up to 15 mm in aluminum, with a positioning accuracy of \u00b10.03 mm.<\/p>\n

              What is the typical cost per part for cutting a standard vehicle door panel in 1.2 mm galvanized steel?<\/h3>\n

              For a standard vehicle door panel (approximately 1.2 m\u00b2) in 1.2 mm galvanized steel, the per-part cost is roughly $4.80, including laser power consumption, assist gas, and machine amortization, based on a 4,000-watt system running at 85% utilization.<\/h3>\n

              What edge quality and tolerance can I expect for cut components used in structural vehicle frames?<\/h3>\n

              For structural vehicle frame components, we guarantee a cut edge roughness (Ra) of less than 1.6 \u00b5m and a dimensional tolerance of \u00b10.1 mm over a 2-meter part, meeting ISO 9013 quality class 1 standards.<\/h3>\n

              How many vehicle sheet metal parts can your laser cutter produce per hour for high-volume production?<\/h3>\n

              Our 6 kW fiber laser system can cut approximately 180 vehicle floor pan brackets (2 mm steel) per hour, including 5-second part-to-part indexing, achieving a cycle time of just 20 seconds per part.<\/h3>\n

              What is the maximum sheet size your laser cutting system can accommodate for large truck panels?<\/h3>\n
