Important Remarks
Remark 1: It is recommended to use air or nitrogen for cutting carbon steel 1-6mm. The cutting speed is faster than using oxygen, and there will be slight slag hanging. Remark 2: Depending on the on-site gas purity, plate quality, etc., the power used for debugging and the speed of debugging will also be different. Remark 3: Copper needs to be cut with high-pressure oxygen. Using other gases for cutting may risk damaging the laser.
Note on Actual Cutting Conditions
Note: The actual batch cutting, affected by machine tools, systems, cutting head, air pressure, materials and other factors, the data may be changed, the asterisks marked parameters in the table are proofing parameters, in the actual processing is greatly affected by various factors, only suitable for small batch production, mass production and processing is not recommended, it is recommended to use higher power laser.
Optimizing Your Cutting Process
Understanding and applying the correct 15000W laser cutting parameters is essential for achieving high-quality, precise cuts. By fine-tuning power output, cutting speed, focus position, gas pressure, and pulse frequency, you can optimize your laser cutting operations to meet specific material requirements. Our latest 15KW laser cutting machine, with its advanced features and customizable parameters, ensures superior performance and efficiency.
