Note: These parameters serve as a starting point and may require fine-tuning based on specific laser system configurations, material compositions, and desired cut quality. Factors such as surface finish, kerf width, and heat-affected zone should be considered when optimizing for each application.
Key considerations for parameter adjustment:
Cutting Speed: Adjust based on material properties and desired edge quality. Higher speeds generally result in narrower kerfs but may compromise cut quality.
Assist Gas: Oxygen promotes exothermic reactions for faster cutting of mild steel, while nitrogen provides oxidation-free cuts for stainless steel and aluminum.
Gas Pressure: Higher pressures improve melt ejection but may cause excessive dross formation. Balance is crucial for optimal cut quality.
Focal Position: Negative values indicate focus below the material surface, which can improve cut quality for thicker materials.
Nozzle Diameter: Larger diameters are typically used for thicker materials to maintain gas flow and melt ejection efficiency.
Always prioritize safety and follow manufacturer guidelines when operating laser cutting equipment. Regular maintenance and calibration of the laser system are essential for consistent cutting performance.
