Ship manufacturing, as one of the footstones of modern industry, has always been a technology-intensive industry. From the keel of the giant ship to the precision cabin, the manufacturing process involves a large number of metal materials of various thicknesses and materials, and the cutting, welding and surface treatment processes are extremely demanding. With the increasingly fierce competition in the global shipbuilding industry, improving efficiency, reducing costs and pursuing green manufacturing have become the industry consensus. Under this background, fiber laser technology is completely changing the manufacturing process of traditional shipbuilding industry by virtue of its high efficiency, accuracy, environmental protection and other advantages, and injecting new vitality into this traditional industry. The following are the main applications of fiber laser equipment in the shipbuilding industry:
 

Fiber laser cutting machine: New Benchmark for Precision Machining

In ship manufacturing, steel plates and profiles are large in size and complex in shape, requiring extremely high cutting accuracy. Fiber laser cutting machine can easily meet these challenges. By optimizing the cutting path and parameters, the material deformation is reduced and the dimensional accuracy and assembly quality of parts are ensured.

Fiber laser welding machine: a revolutionary breakthrough in thick plate welding
 

Thick steel plates are widely used in ship manufacturing, and their welds must meet strict strength, tightness and non-destructive testing standards, and welding thermal deformation shall be strictly controlled. The emergence of fiber laser welding technology, with its outstanding advantages of "high efficiency, high quality, low consumption and low deformation", can accurately penetrate these pain points.

Fiber Laser Cleaning: New Choice for Green Finish

Good surface cleaning is the prerequisite for high-quality welding and painting of ships. Traditional acid cleaning and sand blasting have high energy consumption and high pollution, which is contrary to the green development trend of the ship industry.

The fiber laser cleaning technology is used to irradiate the parts to be cleaned by laser. After absorbing the laser energy, the surface pollutants will cause a series of physical and chemical changes, such as melting, gasification and vibration, so that the contaminated layer can be separated from the base material surface. This method has become a standard configuration technology for green operation and maintenance of ships due to its high efficiency, accuracy and green non-destructive characteristics.

With the accelerated development of new marine productivity, the fiber laser technology will continue to deepen the marine work segmentation scene, providing more efficient, green and more precise laser solutions for the industry.
