The examples of the adjustments made will be similar for any co2 or fiber laser cutting mild steel with o2.
Amada laser cutting conditions.
Say a machine s cutting conditions are set so that the laser cuts at 100 ipm in a certain material producing a 0 010 in wide kerf.
Co 2 lasers use an electromagnetically stimulated gas typically a mixture.
Laser cutting generally uses oxygen nitrogen or air.
Amada engineered the 3kw ensis 3015 ri to include an innovative rotary index with the power and speed to efficiently transition from flat sheet to tube or pipe cutting.
It has the characteristics of fast cutting speed and high cutting quality.
This choice was based on its intention to control the entire development process always offering innovative and state of art technologies.
This column shows the actual feed rate during program operation.
Given its dominance in the sheet metal cutting industry this article focuses on laser fusion cutting.
Laser cutting machine is a kind of equipment that can partially replace traditional metal cutting method.
Feed rate is the speed the laser cutting head moves at.
Cutting conditions range from e1 through e10.
Displays the selected cutting condition type.
The following show 12 6 and 3 2 mm 1 2 1 4 and 10ga mild steel cut with oxygen on a 2kw fiber laser and examples of the same part cut with 1 variable changed to show how it affected the cut quality.
The two most common types of laser cutting machines are fiber laser and co 2.
Incorporating fiber laser cutting technology helps users process a variety of tubing and pipe with greater speeds compared to a co2 system.
Amada co laser machines high productivity and reliability the high quality latest generation co laser machines offer outstanding levels of productivity and reliability.

Fiber lasers vs co 2.
If for example the cutting condition is e010 it implies scribing and not piercing.
It is mainly used to cut aluminum stainless non metal materials.
All cutting parameters are set around this including assist gas.
Please be sure to check the following before changing the cutting conditions.
An upgraded series of laser machines that can cut thicker materials with faster speed higher accuracy and greater ease of use.
Amada fibre laser machines offer high quality processing and unrivalled cutting performance amada was the first worldwide laser machinery manufacturer to develop its own fibre laser engine in house.
At 100 ipm the assist gas pressure and flow rates are set to evacuate the molten metal cleanly and efficiently.
