SENFENG has recently completed the installation and commissioning of a 6016T tube laser cutting machine equipped with a semi-automatic loading device in the United States. The project was led by after-sales engineer Ma Yifei, who provided end-to-end technical support covering installation, system setup, process optimization, and operator training. The machine is now fully operational and ready for stable production.

On-Site Setup and Machine Assembly

March 16, 2026

Upon arrival, the equipment was unpacked and positioned precisely according to the predefined layout. The cutting head was installed, and all protective covers were removed to proceed with assembly.

The machine bed was then carefully leveled to ensure long-term stability and high cutting accuracy, forming a solid base for subsequent commissioning.

System Wiring and Functional Verification

March 17–18, 2026

During this phase, all major electrical connections were completed, including the cutting head drive system, encoder wiring, laser source and chiller power supply, and signal lines for the semi-automatic loading unit. Necessary cable extensions were implemented to suit site conditions.

After completing air pipeline connections, the system was powered on for functional testing. Key components such as limit switches and safety circuits were checked and verified. Detailed inspection and adjustments ensured that all systems operated reliably and met operational requirements.

Machine Calibration and Cutting Trials

March 19–20, 2026

The engineer carried out precision calibration and mechanical adjustments to optimize machine performance. The loading system was fine-tuned, including alignment and chain tension adjustments, to guarantee smooth material feeding.

Test cutting was performed on tubes of different diameters and thicknesses. Based on actual processing requirements, cutting parameters were refined to achieve stable performance across various applications.

At the same time, zero tail length settings and unloading positions were optimized to improve efficiency and reduce material waste.

System Refinement and Operator Training

March 21–23, 2026

Further refinements were made to enhance overall usability and system stability. Cable routing was organized, and machine components were securely fixed to ensure a clean and reliable setup.

The loading system positions were repeatedly tested and adjusted to improve coordination with the machine structure.

Operator training sessions were conducted, covering machine operation, software usage, and standard production workflows. Practical exercises using real materials enabled operators to quickly gain hands-on experience and confidently operate the system.

Final Optimization and Production Support

March 24–25, 2026

In the final stage, additional tests were performed on tubes of varying lengths, and PLC parameters for the loading system were further optimized. Operators practiced loading operations and achieved consistent, reliable results.

Cutting processes for carbon steel were also refined through parameter adjustments to achieve optimal cutting quality under different assist gas conditions.

On-site production support and maintenance guidance were provided to ensure smooth long-term operation. Safety configurations were completed to prepare the machine for continuous use.

With stable performance confirmed and all procedures completed, the project was successfully finalized, demonstrating SENFENG’s commitment to efficient and professional global service.
