Abstract
(DE) Beim Abtrennen von Rohrabschnitten (5) von einem kontinuierlich entstehenden Rohr (4) wird eine geschlossene Trennlinie (16) um die Abschnittsachse (15) entlang des Rohrumfangs ausgebildet, welche um eine Abschnittslänge vom freien Rohrende beabstandet ist. Zum Abtrennen eines Rohrabschnittes (5) wird ein von einer Laser-Scaneinrichtung (18) erzeugter Laserstrahl (17) entlang des gesamten Umfangs des entstehenden Rohres (4) immer quer zur Abschnittsachse (15) auf die Trennlinie (16) umgelenkt, so dass ein im Wesentlichen fokussierter Kontaktbereich des Laserstrahls (17a) beim entstehenden Rohr (4) vollständig entlang der geschlossenen Trennlinie (16) geführt wird und dabei der Rohrabschnitt (5) vom entstehenden Rohr (4) abgetrennt wird.
(EN) When severing pipe sections (5) from a pipe (4) that is continuously produced, a closed separating line (16) is formed around the section axis (15) along the pipe circumference, said axis being disposed by a section length from the free pipe end. In order to sever a pipe section (5), a laser beam (17) generated by a laser scanning device (18) is deflected along the entire circumference of the pipe (4) being produced to the separating line, always transversely to the section axis (15), such that a substantially focused contact region of the laser beam (17a) on the pipe (4) being produced is guided completely along the closed separating line (16) and, in the process, the pipe section (5) is severed from the pipe (4) being produced.
(FR) Lors de la séparation de sections de tube (5) d'un tube (4) en formation continue, une ligne de séparation fermée (16), qui est espacée d'une longueur de section de l'extrémité libre du tube, est réalisée autour de l'axe de section (15) le long du pourtour du tube. Pour séparer une section de tube (5), un faisceau laser (17) produit par un dispositif de balayage de laser (18) est dirigé le long de tout le pourtour du tube en formation (4) toujours transversalement à l'axe de section (15) sur la ligne de séparation (16) de sorte qu'une zone de contact essentiellement focalisée du faisceau laser (17a) est guidée totalement le long de la ligne de séparation fermée (16) alors que le tube (4) est en formation et la section de tube (5) est de ce fait séparée du tube (4) en formation.
