Robot
FANUC M-20iD/25 class arm
Cable-in-arm structure and high-rigidity motion for 3D cutting paths.
Case Study
Large pipe robotic 3D laser cutting system.
A technical proposal for cutting holes in large carbon steel pipe using a robot, 12kW laser, ground rail, roller stands, height control, and intelligent cutting process software.
Laser
12kW cutting source
MFSC-12000W class laser paired with a 12kW chiller and laser cutting head.
Motion
Ground rail and roller stands
6 m effective travel ground rail with two 3T roller stand assemblies for long tube coverage.
Control
Intelligent cutting database
Operators call cutting parameters by material and thickness instead of tuning every job from zero.
System Layout
One robot, two pipe stations, expanded reach.
Why This Layout
Higher coverage and station utilization.
- Robot travels along a ground rail to extend cutting reach
- Two symmetric roller stand stations support longer pipe handling
- External axis coordination lets the robot cut around curved surfaces
- Height control and cutting process files simplify operation
Site Requirements
Utilities and environment matter.
- 380V three-phase five-wire power and stable grounding
- Clean compressed air or oxygen for cutting gas
- Cooling water discipline for the laser chiller
- Stable foundation without obvious vibration source
Positioning
This is a related robotic laser application, not the core welding offer.
It belongs in Case Studies because the same robot, laser, motion, and control logic can support adjacent cutting applications.
