Laser processing has become an ideal choice for production and processing in the steel structure manufacturing industry

The steel structure industry chain system is huge, and there are many manufacturing processes, including blanking, cutting, hole making, assembly, welding, rust removal, etc.


The advantages of high precision, fast speed and high efficiency of laser processing are undoubtedly more powerful for the steel structure industry.



Laser Cutting


The laser cutting process adopts the non-contact processing method to quickly cut the steel structure raw materials. The intelligent control only needs to input the processing parameters into the system, and the cutting is fast and efficient without excessive manual intervention. When it comes to steel structures, all kinds of "monsters" and large-format machining machines come to mind.


Facing this market demand, Raytu correspondingly launched a 20kW long fiber optic cable (40 meters) fiber laser, using special laser structure design and Raman suppression technology, to achieve full power 20kW, 100μm fiber core with 40m output cable length. It is the first 20KW fiber laser in China to realize the output of 40m long optical cable, and it is also the golden combination of large-format gantry machine tools.


Today, laser cutting has become an ideal choice for the production and processing of steel structure manufacturing industry, and has become an important force to promote the rapid development of steel structure industry.


Laser welding


With the continuous development and progress of social science and technology, laser welding has gradually penetrated into all fields of our lives, and for steel structures, welding is one of the essential and most important steps. Due to the complex structure and large size of the workpiece, the traditional welding method is usually complicated, cumbersome to use, takes up a lot of space, and has extremely high requirements on the machining accuracy of the base metal.


Laser welding plays an increasingly important role in the steel structure industry due to its advantages of non-contact, high speed, high precision, small deformation, and concentrated heating. At present, there are few applications of single laser welding, mainly laser hybrid welding.


Laser cleaning


Steel structure building is a new type of building system. Although the steel structure has been subjected to anti-corrosion treatment with anti-corrosion coating on the surface in the early stage of construction, the surface coating will also fall off and oxidize due to environmental and construction factors. Therefore, it is particularly important to periodically refurbish the corroded parts.


Laser cleaning can accurately locate a certain part, accurately clean the surface rust, oxide layer, etc., and the generated pollutant particles can be collected for waste to avoid environmental pollution.


Raytu laser MOPA pulse energy fiber laser, as the core supporting equipment of laser cleaning equipment, has adjustable energy, flexible controllability, strong technology and strong adaptability, which can greatly improve the efficiency of laser cleaning, accelerate the development of practical and industrialization, and it is of great significance for laser technology to achieve green environmental protection and economic development.


According to the "Planning", by the end of 2025, the national steel structure consumption will reach about 140 million tons, and the steel structure building will account for more than 15% of the new construction area.


By 2035, the application of steel structures in China will reach the level of moderately developed countries, and the consumption of steel structures will reach more than 200 million tons per year, basically realizing the intelligent construction of steel structures.


Laser technology has played an important role in promoting the application of high-performance and high-efficiency steel, and promoting the standardization, generalization, informatization and intelligence of steel structures. It is believed that with the blessing of laser technology, a win-win situation will be achieved.
