1. Introduction to BODA <\/strong>
\nFor over 24 years, BODA has specialised in the development and manufacture of CNC thermal cutting machines, focusing exclusively on plasma, flame and combined process solutions for industrial applications.
\nThis specialisation has enabled the company to establish a comprehensive range of CNC cutting equipment, with in-house development in control systems, motion control, gas automation and cutting heads.
\nThe company integrates research and development, production, sales and service, and holds patents for inventions, utility models and high-tech products. Furthermore, it has been recognised in China as a technological research centre for metal-cutting machine tools, maintaining technical collaboration with Shanghai Jiao Tong University.<\/p>\n

2. BODA COLT 3D <\/strong><\/p>\n

2.1 Background to the proceedings <\/strong><\/p>\n

When cutting thick carbon steel plates, particularly those over 40 mm, traditional flame cutting requires lengthy preheating times to initiate the piercing process. This reduces productivity, increases the workpiece\u2019s thermal exposure and can cause significant deformation of the material.
\nCOLT technology combines the speed of laser-assisted piercing with the efficiency of flame cutting.
\nThe laser enables rapid penetration of the material and stabilises the start of the cut; the flame process then completes the cut with reduced dwell time and greater consistency in medium and thick plates.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2.2 Scope of application<\/strong><\/p>\n

The solution is recommended for carbon steel and low-alloy steels that are prone to oxidation, with thicknesses ranging from 10 to 200 mm. Its optimal performance range is between 30 and 120 mm, where the laser-flame combination offers a particularly significant productivity advantage.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Applications: heavy machinery, steel structures, shipyards, engineering workshops, mining, metal fabrication and industrial cutting of thick plates.<\/p>\n

\u2022    Operational objective: to improve piercing times, reduce reliance on manual adjustments and increase process repeatability.<\/p>\n

\u2022    Expected outcome: higher productivity per plate, better cross-section quality and lower energy costs compared to high-power laser alternatives.<\/p>\n

\n

Impact in the Operation<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Fast piercing of thick plates<\/td>\nCOLT pierces 100 mm carbon steel in approximately 8 seconds. By way of comparison, a 60 kW pure laser takes around 15 seconds, whilst a pure flame may take between 3 and 5 minutes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
High cross-sectional accuracy<\/td>\nThe cross-sectional verticality error is close to 1 mm, and the cut is burr-free under suitable process conditions.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Energy efficiency<\/td>\nEnergy consumption is approximately one-tenth of that required by a 60 kW laser; total consumption can be reduced by around 25 per cent.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Increased productivity with thick plates<\/td>\nCutting efficiency in thick plates can increase by approximately 20 per cent, with material savings of over 10 per cent depending on the application.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Process automation<\/td>\nAutomatic adjustment of thickness and parameters, process library, piercing and automatic slag removal for inner plates up to 120 mm thick.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n
