Let’s now give you some insight how Norck manufactures parts with laser tube bending process.
It is the forming of tubes after being cut with a laser beam. The cut is processed to facilitate the bend. The laser cutting technique uses a focused laser beam to cut the tube. The laser can cut different shapes into the tube, such as holes, letters, and primitive shapes. The term laser stands for light amplification. After the cut, tubes are bent and welded to form the desired shapes.
Laser bending offers more advantages over traditional cutting, bending, and welding processes:
• Polyvalent process: This process groups three tube-forming techniques. It helps cut, bend, and weld tubes.
• More precision: Since it is a laser cut, the accuracy is around ±0.004in (±0.1mm), while in conventional techniques, it is about 0.04in(±1mm)
• Clean: Cuts with no burrs
• Faster manufacturing: A computer controls the trajectory of the cutting resulting in a shorter fabrication time.
• Complex shapes: Laser cutting machines can easily cut simple or complex shapes. It is an efficient and low labor cost process.
Norck offers engineering services that will help you create this type of file. Next, we will generate a code for the laser cutting machine using the 3D model.
The cutting head consists of a lens that focuses light and generates the laser beam that will melt and vaporize the material. The melted material is blown off using gas from the nozzle.It melts material locally and is guided along the shape to perform the cut using the code generated from the 3D model.
Laser cutting is always perpendicular to the sheet surface, so it can’t add drafts or threads. In addition to moving the cutting head along three axes, the process requires rotating and translating the tube. The cutting machine has an extra component to ensure rotation and translation. After laser cutting the tube, it is bent to form the desired shape. The bending can be performed using a bending machine for complex shapes or manually for simple bends. The last thing is toward the tube.
For example, to form a 90° bent tube, the tube is cut according to the shape below then it can be bent manually and welded.
