Turkey has firmly established itself as a vital hub in the global automotive supply chain. Recently, a prominent Turkish auto parts manufacturer faced a bottleneck in processing 40x2 Aluminum tubes. They turned to Longxin Laser for a solution.
This case study explores how the Longxin LX-K9-6 Laser Pipe Cutting Machine transformed their production line.
The Challenge: Cutting Soft Aluminum with Precision
The client specializes in lightweight automotive structural parts (e.g., roof rails and bumper supports). Their core material is 40mm diameter (or width) x 2mm wall thickness Aluminum profiles.
Burrs & Polishing Costs: Traditional cutting left heavy burrs, requiring expensive manual labor to polish.
Deformation: Aluminum is soft. Mechanical clamping often deformed the 2mm thin walls.
Low Speed: Meeting the high-volume demands of OEMs was becoming impossible.
The Solution: Longxin LX-K9-6 Fiber Laser Pipe Cutting Machine
Key Features Solving the Client's Pain Points
Slag free cutting technology:
Slag free cutting significantly reduces the cost of dust removal equipment
The cut edges are smooth and clean, eliminating secondary polishing processes. This was a game-changer for the client's automotive quality standards.
Non-Contact Cutting for Aluminum :
The fiber laser beam cuts without physical pressure, ensuring the 40x2 aluminum profile retains its perfect shape with zero deformation.
Specialized Pneumatic Chucks :
The LX-K9-5 is equipped with intelligent chucks that adjust clamping force automatically. It holds the 2mm wall tube firmly yet gently.
The Result: Increased Efficiency in the Turkish Market
Since installing the Longxin LX-K9-6, the customer reports significant improvements:
Production Speed: Increased by 300% compared to traditional sawing.
Material Savings: The nesting software minimized waste, crucial for expensive aluminum materials.
Quality Compliance: Parts now easily meet stringent European automotive standards.
