When the fiber laser cutting machine cuts highly reflective materials such as copper, it is necessary to add auxiliary gas to produce a chemical reaction with the material at high temperature to increase the cutting speed. So, how to choose gas for cnc fiber laser cutting machine to cut high reflective materials such as copper?

 

For example, oxygen can be used to achieve the effect of combustion. Nitrogen can be used to improve laser cutting results.

To achieve a better cutting effect, only with a technical and consistent cutting method can better results be achieved when processing high-reflective materials such as copper.

 

For copper plates below 1mm, auxiliary gas is completely unnecessary;

 

For copper plates of 1mm-2mm, it is recommended to choose nitrogen as the auxiliary gas;

 

For copper plates larger than 2mm, it is recommended to choose oxygen as the auxiliary gas.

 

The use of laser cutting machines is closely related to air compressors. The quality of compressed air has a very direct impact on the quality of laser cutting.

 

It is necessary to formulate a detailed maintenance plan, implement fixed-person operation, regular maintenance, and regular inspection and maintenance to keep the air compressor unit clean, free of oil, and free of dirt. If it is not treated cleanly, the high pressure sprayed on the laser lens will seriously affect the transmission of the laser, disperse the focus, cause impenetrable cutting, and seriously burn out the laser head.
