The “Waste Trap” of Traditional Bevel Processing

In industries such as coal machinery, mining equipment, steel structures, and shipbuilding, conventional bevel cutting often faces two major challenges:

1.Severe Material Waste

When cutting bevels directly from whole plates, extra spacing must be reserved to avoid collisions, leaving large internal sections unused. This “waste trap” drives material utilization rates down to less than 80%.

2.Thermal Deformation and Poor Precision

Excessive heat accumulation during cutting causes severe part deformation, reducing yield rates. Inconsistent bevel angles and poor surface quality further compromise welding performance.

The Breakthrough — Visual Secondary Bevel Laser Cutting

To address these long-standing issues, Han’s Laser has introduced the Visual Secondary Bevel Laser Cutting Machine.

Its “secondary bevel cutting + dual-vision coordination” approach bypasses the whole-plate nesting stage that causes heavy waste, while delivering high-precision, high-quality bevel surfaces — redefining the bevel cutting process.

Key Advantages — A Cost-Cutting, Material-Saving Powerhouse

17%+ Material Savings, Direct Cost Reduction

Instead of sacrificing plate material for bevel processing, the secondary cutting method eliminates the nesting waste zone. Material utilization jumps from under 70% to over 87%, dramatically cutting raw material costs.

Dual-Vision Coordination for 0.2° Precision

A monitoring camera (for coarse positioning) works with a laser line contour scanning camera (for fine positioning) to capture the workpiece’s contour, position, and orientation in real time. This delivers high-precision data to the laser cutter, enabling 0.2°-level positioning accuracy.

No Thermal Deformation, 50% Higher Yield Rate

Unlike plasma or flame cutting, or whole-plate laser cutting that builds up excessive heat and stress, the secondary processing mode avoids thermal deformation entirely. The result: stable part dimensions, 50% higher yield rates, and significantly reduced scrap.

Full Automation, Minimal Labor

When paired with automatic loading, unloading, and stacking systems, the machine supports fully automated operation — from loading and coarse positioning, to fine positioning, cutting, unloading, and stacking. This minimizes manual intervention, speeds up cycle times, and reduces both labor and energy costs.

Dual-Swing A/B Axis Design

Equipped with a high-performance dual-swing bevel laser cutting head and guided by the dual-vision system, the machine ensures stable, controlled cutting with smooth, clean bevel surfaces. The quality far exceeds traditional plasma or flame beveling, providing a perfect interface for subsequent welding.

A Reliable Cost-Reduction Solution for Multiple Industries

This advanced bevel processing technology is ideal for coal machinery, mining equipment, steel structures, shipbuilding, construction machinery, and more. It serves as a high-precision, high-efficiency, and cost-effective replacement for traditional plasma/flame cutting — especially in large-volume, high-accuracy bevel cutting scenarios.

By delivering higher precision, better surface quality, and lower overall production costs, the Visual Secondary Bevel Laser Cutting Machine sets a new benchmark in smart manufacturing for heavy industries.
