Shipbuilding technology is constantly evolving, and shipbuilding materials and ship design are also changing. The application of laser cutting machine in shipbuilding has a unique nature, which is also related to the practical application of the ship itself, and the characteristics of high-precision cutting and high plasticity of laser cutting machine are highly consistent with the shipbuilding industry. What are the applications of laser cutting machine in the shipbuilding industry?

In recent years, the main development trend of shipbuilding industry has gradually moved to "rapid shipbuilding" and "precision shipbuilding", and laser cutting technology has been rapidly developed, accounting for more than 70% of the entire laser processing industry. The shipbuilding industry is mainly based on steel plate materials, the use of laser cutting plate, compared with the traditional punching machine processing, greatly reduced the production cycle, the cost has also been saved. The use of laser cutting machine can effectively reduce the process of field secondary trimming and improve product quality.

At present, the cutting methods of ship hull plate are mostly flame cutting, plasma cutting, shear plate bending machining and laser cutting. Laser cutting avoids the occurrence of uneven cutting quality by setting cutting margin on the plate in order to ensure the assembly gap when the plasma is cutting the plate. This reduces relative workload, production cycles and labor costs.

The hull steel plate obtained by laser cutting has good slit quality, good vertical incision surface, no hanging slag, thin oxide layer, smooth surface, no need for secondary processing, direct welding, small thermal deformation, high curve cutting precision, reduce working hours, and achieve frictionless cutting precision ship plate. Laser cutting machine will be applied in more shipbuilding enterprises in the future, and high-power laser cutting machine is also bound to be the future trend.
