Application of Thin-walled Tube Laser Cutting Machine in Electronic Cigarette Pipe Manufacturing

(Click 40 )

As the core component of electronic cigarettes, the precision processing of electronic cigarette pipes directly affects product performance and user experience. Traditional mechanical cutting methods are prone to deformation of thin-walled tubes, burr residue and other problems, while precision thin-walled tube laser cutting machines have become key equipment for electronic cigarette pipe manufacturing with their non-contact and high-precision processing characteristics, driving the industry to develop in a more efficient and sophisticated direction.

Electronic cigarette pipes are usually made of materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloy or aluminum alloy, with a wall thickness of only 0.2-0.5mm. Traditional cutting can easily cause deformation of the tube body or uneven cuts. Laser cutting achieves smooth and burr-free cuts through micron-level spot and precise energy control, and the tolerance is controlled within ±0.05mm to ensure the airtightness and assembly accuracy of the pipe.

The design of modern electronic cigarette pipes is becoming more and more complex, requiring the processing of micropores, airways or decorative textures. Through dynamic focusing and multi-axis linkage technology, laser cutting machines can complete precision processing of special-shaped holes, spiral grooves, etc. on curved surfaces or ultra-thin tube walls to meet personalized design needs. For example, using ultraviolet laser to engrave brand logos or anti-counterfeiting codes on the surface of the pipe is both aesthetic and functional.

From metal to ceramic composite pipes, laser cutting adapts to diverse material needs through intelligent adjustment of wavelength and power. At the same time, the automated loading and unloading system supports continuous operation, and the daily production capacity of a single device can reach tens of thousands of pieces, which is more than 3 times more efficient than traditional processes. In addition, the mold-free processing feature greatly shortens the new product development cycle and helps companies respond quickly to market changes.

Non-contact processing reduces material loss and increases pipe utilization by more than 20%; there is no cutting fluid or oil pollution, which meets the environmental protection requirements of the e-cigarette industry. While reducing the overall production cost, the whole process of product traceability can be achieved through laser marking.
