As a key investment project in Hubei Province, Hubei HB Heavy Industries focuses on the R&D and manufacturing of mining transportation systems and intelligent mining machinery. With Phase I of the project nearing production, HB Heavy urgently required a high-efficiency and high-precision processing solution to meet the dual demands of handling high-strength materials and achieving exceptional machining accuracy.
——High Precision and Diverse Processing Challenges
HB Heavy faced multiple and demanding challenges: diverse profile sizes, varying thicknesses, and a need for highly flexible equipment. Export orders further raised the bar, requiring precision tolerances as tight as ±0.1mm on critical components such as gears and drive shafts, alongside superior surface wear resistance to endure harsh working conditions.
After several rounds of evaluation, HB Heavy selected Kebei Laser as its technology partner, recognizing its strengths in intelligent and flexible manufacturing solutions.
——One Machine for Both Profiles and Plates
The company introduced KEBEI’s integrated profile and plate laser cutting machine, which combines the capability to process both structural profiles and flat plates in a single unit. This significantly streamlines HB Heavy’s production workflow, reduces floor space usage, and lowers labor costs. The machine supports profile cutting from 150×150mm to 1200×500mm, with cutting thickness up to 40mm, while flat plates can be cut up to 60mm—fully meeting the requirements for large component fabrication.
Moreover, the equipment integrates multiple processes such as cutting, drilling, and beveling. Drilling precision is maintained within 0.2 to 0.5mm, achieving a 100% one-pass hole formation rate and greatly enhancing production efficiency.
——A Heavy-Duty Solution for Large Structures
To address the processing of oversized structural parts, HB Heavy also deployed Kebei’s 30kW rail-mounted laser cutting machine. Featuring a ground rail bed design, this equipment ensures stability and precision throughout the machining process. Its ultra-large processing format and customizable cutting length provide ideal support for large workpieces, while the 30kW ultra-high power further boosts cutting speed and shortens production cycles.
——Advancing Toward Intelligent Manufacturing
“With the commissioning of Kebei Laser’s two core machines, our production line is undergoing a transformation toward intelligent manufacturing,” said a representative from HB Heavy. “This not only strengthens our competitiveness in mining equipment manufacturing but also lays a solid foundation for meeting the high standards of international markets.”
——Laser Technology Empowering Traditional Industries
This partnership marks a successful collaboration between KEBEI Laser and Hubei HB Heavy Industries—and also reflects a broader trend of intelligent laser equipment driving transformation across traditional manufacturing sectors. From aerospace to shipbuilding, from new energy vehicles to intelligent mining systems, KEBEI Laser continues to deliver smart and efficient solutions that breathe new life into industrial production.
