Pipe material drilling is typically done using a laser drilling machine. The advantage of laser drilling over other processes includes:
Fast, efficient, and cost-effective.
2. Achieves a large depth-to-diameter ratio.
3. Suitable for various materials, including hard, brittle, and soft.
4. No tool wear.
5. Ideal for high-density, large quantity hole machining.
6. Laser machining allows for small holes to be drilled in inclined surfaces of difficult-to-process materials.
7. Simple workpiece clamping requirements for easy integration and automation on the production line.
8. Easily drills holes in complex-shaped parts and can also perform drilling under vacuum.
Laser drilling is widely used in various industries due to its fast speed, high efficiency, and economic benefits. Laser drilling machines can create small holes in materials: 1.00-3.00 mm in size, micro-holes: 0.40-1.00 mm, ultra-micro-holes: 0.1-0.40 mm, and sub-micro-holes: 0.01-0.10 mm, with ultra-ultra-micro-holes smaller than 0.001 mm. The thickness of the drilling can reach about 5 mm. Laser drilling leaves no burrs, eliminating the need for secondary processing.
