Automobile lightweight has become an important direction for the development of the automobile industry, which not only improves automobile driving performance, but also enhances automobile safety, saves fuel costs, production and manufacturing costs, and further meets market demand. When designing and producing cars, various manufacturers have achieved the goal of reducing the weight of cars by widely applying lightweight plastic products. It can be said that in addition to the use of high-strength materials for the body, many parts will use plastic as much as possible. According to experiments, the quality of the car is reduced by half, and the fuel consumption will also be reduced by nearly half.
The front and rear bumpers of the car are more typical representatives. In the early years, automobile body bumpers were made of metal. Some were stamped with steel plates and then welded to the body. However, due to factors such as automobile lightweight, mass production and aesthetics, automobile manufacturers finally found A better alternative-plastic bumpers. Plastic bumpers can not only save manufacturing costs, but also have lower requirements on the industrial level and are easier to produce. Therefore, after the manufacturing cost is controlled, it will eventually be reflected in the price of the car.
The lightweight of automotive interior and exterior accessories is an important part of the lightweight of the whole vehicle. With the continuous in-depth research and development of plastic technology, many auto parts have reached the demand for plasticization, including instrument panels, door inner panels, and body covers. Parts, chassis, bumpers, fuel tanks, engine intake manifolds and clutch actuator systems, etc.
In order to meet mass production, most of these plastic parts are made by injection molding. Injection molding will inevitably produce nozzles. Nozzle refers to the part of the runner produced after injection molding, which is the excess leftover material other than the product, such as the intersection of the mold and the opening of the injection left during the production of the plastic product. These excess scraps need to be cut before assembly.

Nowadays, in the cutting of plastic nozzles, laser cutting has become the main equipment. As we all know, the laser cutting machine has very superior precision and accuracy. Because these plastic nozzles have different shapes and sizes, they have higher requirements for cutting. However, if they are manual, the cutting accuracy cannot be guaranteed, and the efficiency is not high, and the speed is slow. Therefore, the laser equipment solves this problem well.
