Product Detail

Bevel Fiber Laser Cutting · 3D Cutting Head

Bevel Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

The Bevel Fiber Laser Cutting Machine from Shandong Xinhong CNC is purpose-built for weld preparation cutting - producing V, Y, X, and K grooves directly on the laser machine, eliminating the need for separate beveling equipment. Powered by an 8000W IPG/RAYCUS fiber laser source with a 3-axis bevel cutting head that tilts ±45°, it cuts straight, bevel, and compound angle edges on plates up to 25mm thick in a single setup. For fabricators in pressure vessel, shipbuilding, and structural steel industries, this machine replaces manual grinding, flame beveling, and milling operations with a single automated process.

Buyer Pain Points & Solutions

Manual beveling bottleneck: Traditional weld preparation requires grinding, milling, or flame cutting bevels after the parts are cut - adding hours of secondary processing per shift. The bevel laser cuts the bevel groove simultaneously with the part outline, eliminating the secondary beveling step entirely.
Inconsistent bevel angles: Manual beveling produces angle variations that affect weld quality and joint fit-up. The CNC-controlled 3-axis bevel head maintains precise bevel angles within ±0.5°, ensuring consistent weld preparation across every part.
Multi-process workflow complexity: Cutting, beveling, and welding preparation on separate machines increases handling time, part tracking complexity, and accumulated tolerance errors. The bevel laser consolidates cutting and beveling into one operation - one setup, one program, one machine.

Core Advantages

3-axis bevel cutting head with ±45° tilt - The cutting head rotates and tilts under CNC control to produce V, Y, X, and K groove geometries. Bevel angle accuracy within ±0.5°, with automatic compensation for kerf width variation.
IPG / RAYCUS 8000W laser source - High beam power ensures clean, dross-free bevel cuts on thick plates. The 8kW beam maintains cut quality at bevel angles where the effective cut depth increases with the tilt angle.
Auto-focus with bevel compensation - The cutting head automatically adjusts focus position based on bevel angle and plate thickness, maintaining optimal cut quality across the full range of groove geometries.
Schneider Electric CNC with bevel programming - Modicon M241 PLC with specialized bevel cutting software. Imports 3D models and automatically generates bevel paths, including variable-angle bevels for pipe-to-plate and complex joint geometries.
Heavy-duty stress-relieved gantry - Welded steel frame with annealing, engineered for the dynamic loads of 3-axis bevel cutting. ±0.05mm positioning accuracy maintained during multi-axis bevel operations.

FAQ

What bevel groove types can the machine produce?

V-groove, Y-groove, X-groove, K-groove, and variable-angle bevels. The 3-axis bevel cutting head tilts ±45° under CNC control, and the bevel software generates the toolpath automatically from the part model, including compound bevels for complex joint geometries.

How does bevel cutting thickness compare to straight cutting?

Straight cutting capacity is 25mm carbon steel. Bevel cutting capacity is reduced to 20mm because the effective cut depth increases with the bevel angle. For example, a 45° bevel on 15mm plate requires cutting through approximately 21mm of material along the bevel path.

Does the machine require special programming?

The bevel cutting software imports standard 3D CAD models (STEP, IGES) and DXF files. The operator specifies the bevel angle and groove type, and the software automatically generates the multi-axis cutting path with kerf compensation. No manual G-code programming is required for standard bevel geometries.

Can the machine do both straight and bevel cutting in the same program?

Yes. A single cutting program can include straight cuts, bevel cuts, and transitions between them. This is particularly useful for parts that require beveled edges on weld joints and straight edges on non-welded boundaries.

What accuracy can I expect on bevel angles?

Bevel angle accuracy is ±0.5° under normal operating conditions. The CNC-controlled bevel head maintains consistent angles across the full part, eliminating the angle variation typical of manual grinding or flame beveling.
