Laser cutting machines are indeed widely used in the shipbuilding industry, and the following are their specific applications:
Cutting of Hull Plates
Outer Plate Cutting: A large amount of steel plates are required to construct the hull shell during shipbuilding. Laser cutting machines can cut steel plates of different thicknesses with high precision. They can cut the steel plates into various complex shapes and sizes according to the design requirements, which are used for the construction of parts such as the ship's body and the bottom of the ship, ensuring the precise formation of the hull shell and reducing subsequent finishing work.
Bulkhead Plate Cutting: The division of the bulkheads inside the ship's cabin is crucial for the structural strength and functional layout of the ship. Laser cutting machines can accurately cut the plates used for the bulkheads, ensuring the dimensional accuracy and connection accuracy of the bulkheads, which helps to improve the overall structural stability and sealing performance of the ship.

Processing of Structural Components
Keel Processing: The keel is the main supporting structure of the ship. Laser cutting machines can cut and process large sections of steel profiles, providing precise components for keel manufacturing, ensuring that the strength and dimensions of the keel meet the design standards, thus supporting the weight of the entire hull and ensuring the stability of the ship during navigation.
Rib Cutting: The ribs of a ship play a key role in the structural strength and stability of the hull. Laser cutting machines can cut metal materials into the shapes and sizes of ribs that meet the design requirements, and can cut various mounting holes and connecting grooves on the ribs, facilitating subsequent assembly work and improving the connection accuracy and reliability between the ribs and other structural components.

Manufacturing of Pipeline Systems
Cutting of Various Pipelines: There are numerous pipeline systems on a ship, such as fuel pipelines, seawater cooling pipelines, ventilation pipelines, etc. Laser cutting machines can cut pipes of different materials and diameters into the required lengths and angles according to the design requirements, and can cut various branch ports and connection ports on the pipelines, ensuring the installation accuracy and sealing performance of the pipeline systems and guaranteeing the normal operation of various systems on the ship.
Cutting of Pipeline Supports: The supports used to support and fix the pipelines can also be processed by laser cutting machines. Laser cutting machines can quickly and accurately cut pipeline supports of various shapes and sizes, improving the manufacturing accuracy and production efficiency of the supports and ensuring the stable installation of the pipeline systems.
