Nitrogen-assist-gas in Fiber Laser Cutting application

What are the Key Benefits of Using Nitrogen generators in Laser Cutting Applications?

Lower Cost: Nitrogen assist and purge gas is one of the highest costs associated with laser cutting, particularly for fiber lasers. 

Higher Productivity: Nitrogen generator ensures that your application run continuously and without much attention from the operator.

Better Control: Generating your own nitrogen means no more ordering, changing and running out of bottles! No more liquid deliveries interrupting production, and you no longer have to deal with suppliers' unpredictable price increases.

Highest Efficiency: No oxide edge, high purity 99.999% gas available.

On-Demand Nitrogen: This plug-and-play solution is sized to match your laser cutter, so you never need to empty your bottles and refill during valuable production hours.

Prevents Oxidation:

Thanks to its inert properties, nitrogen allows the laser to operate in an oxygen-free environment without the risk of oxidation. When your application heats up and comes in contact with oxygen, a phenomenon known as oxidation occurs. This can cause a carbon layer to form on the cut edge, resulting in issues such as poor product finish and adhesion problems for any coating or paint applied to the oxidized surface.

Helps Purge Laser Beam: To prevent the beam from distorting and to maintain power and intensity, the beam path needs to be kept clear of dirt particulates and any other contaminants that could cause it to diverge or lose power. Nitrogen is the ideal medium to use for beam guide-way purging, as it is dry, clean, oil-free, and has a very low contaminant content.
