Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holes
Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holes capability for titanium components
What is Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holes?
Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holes capability for titanium components
Precision machining capability for Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holes, utilizing multi-axis CNC centers with in-process inspection and SPC quality control.
Engineering Parameters & Capabilities
Fiber laser cutting of titanium uses a focused 1 µm wavelength beam to melt and expel material through a coaxial assist gas jet. The narrow (0.1–0.3 mm) and small heat-affected zone make it suitable for precision profiles in sheet and thin-plate titanium components, specifically for flange. Precision flange for Aerospace, Chemical, Oil & Gas present unique challenges: Large diameter (up to 600 mm) with bolt hole pattern PCD tolerance ±0.1 mm. Face flatness critical for seal integrity.
| Parameter | Primary Method | Alternative Method |
|---|---|---|
| Cut Speed (3 mm Ti) | Up to 6 m/min | 0.5–1.5 m/min |
| Kerf Width | 0.1–0.3 mm | 0.7–1.2 mm |
| HAZ | 0.05–0.15 mm with N₂ assist | Zero HAZ (cold cut) |
| Max Thickness | 15 mm (fiber laser) | 100 mm+ |
Engineering Capabilities & Limits
Precision machining capability for Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holes, utilizing multi-axis CNC centers with in-process inspection and SPC quality control.
Hole Types Supported
Heat Control Measures
Coaxial N₂ (99.999%) assist gas at 12–20 bar prevents titanium oxidation by displacing oxygen. Laser power modulation controls heat input to minimize HAZ to 0.05–0.15 mm.
Flatness & Stress Relief
Face flatness critical for seal integrity. Sequenced bolt-hole drilling pattern (opposite poles) prevents flange warpage.
Tolerance
+0.05 mm (bolt PCD) / +0.02 mm (face flatness)
