The processing and manufacturing of metal pipes such as light poles, flagpoles and street light poles are inseparable from bending machines and laser cutting machines. The CNC bending machine is suitable for processing special-length workpieces such as street lamp poles. It has a dual-machine linkage structure and can handle large-size materials. Laser cutting machines have the advantages of high precision, non-contact, and no deformation in metal processing. In particular, tube laser cutting machines are widely used in the lighting industry, such as cutting lamp tube covers, which can handle various complex patterns and improve efficiency. Laser cutting machines have flexibility and fast processing in metal lighting, without the need for molds, and are suitable for personalized customization.
Application scenarios:
1. Forming of the main body of the light pole: The metal sheet is processed into a cylindrical or tapered light pole through a CNC bending machine, which supports the continuous forming of large-size workpieces (such as 10-18 meters).
2. Special-shaped structure processing: Use the diversity of molds to realize complex structures such as flanging and curling at the ends of street light poles.
3. Flagpole taper control: The bending angle is accurately adjusted through a multi-axis linkage system to ensure the verticality and surface smoothness of the flagpole.
Technical advantages:
1. High precision and stability: Using servo drive and laser angle measurement technology, the error can be controlled within ±0.1° to avoid manual errors.
2. Large-size processing capability: The dual-machine linkage bending machine can simultaneously process extra-long workpieces (such as 18-meter street light poles), and supports split structures to meet transportation needs.
3. Automation and efficiency improvement: Equipped with an automatic mold changing system and loading/unloading robotic arms to reduce manual intervention and increase production efficiency by more than 30%.
Application scenarios:
1. Decorative hollowing out of light poles: cutting complex patterns or light-transmitting holes on the surface of metal light poles to enhance artistry (such as the carved designs of European street light poles).
2. Precision processing of pipe ends: cutting end bevels and mounting holes of flagpoles or light poles to ensure assembly accuracy.
3. Batch standardized production: suitable for rapid cutting of highly reflective materials such as stainless steel and brass, and supports small batch customized orders.
Technical advantages:
1. Non-contact and no damage: Laser cutting has a small heat-affected zone, which avoids material deformation or surface oxidation, and is especially suitable for thin-walled pipe processing.
2. High-precision realization of complex graphics: programmable cutting of any shape, with a cutting accuracy of ±0.05mm, without the need for secondary polishing.
3. Efficiency and cost optimization: Compared with traditional stamping process, mold development costs are eliminated, and the cutting speed can reach 6m/min (taking 2mm low carbon steel as an example)
In the production of street light poles, a laser cutting machine is usually used to process the mounting holes, heat dissipation grooves and decorative patterns of the light poles, and then the pipe is formed through a bending machine and finally assembled and welded. This process combination can reduce the processing steps by 50% while achieving a balance between personalized design and mass production.
Summary: Two types of equipment complement each other in the processing of metal rods - the bending machine focuses on macro-forming, and the laser cutting machine focuses on micro-finishing. Its core advantages are reflected in the improvement of precision, efficiency and flexible production capabilities, which meets the needs of modern manufacturing for intelligence and customization.
