Why is the air compressor important to the fiber laser cutting machine?

Fibre laser cutting machine as an important equipment for metal processing has a wide range of applications in aviation, automotive, machinery and other fields. And the air compressor is an important part of the fibre laser cutting machine, which can provide high-pressure, dry and stable compressed air for the cooling of the laser generator, the cleaning of the air circuit system and the supply of cutting gas. During the laser cutting process, the air compressor plays an important role and directly impacts the cut’s quality. This article will introduce the importance of air compressors to fibre laser cutting machines from the following four aspects:

Pressure: The higher the pressure, the greater the flow and speed of the cutting gas, and the greater the depth and width of the cut. However, too high or too low pressure will affect the cutting effect, so choose the right pressure according to the material and thickness.

Dryness: The higher the dryness, the better the purity and stability of the cutting gas, and the higher the quality and life of the cutting. However, too low a dryness will lead to impurity and instability of the cutting gas, resulting in oxidation, discoloration, and deformation of the cutting edge.

Temperature: the lower the temperature, the lower the density and expansion coefficient of the cutting gas, and the better the cutting effect and energy consumption. However, too high or too low temperature will affect the cutting effect, so use equipment such as coolers and heat exchangers to ensure the temperature, generally required between 15°C and 25°C

In conclusion, the air compressor is very important in the laser cutting machine. It has a direct impact on the cutting quality, can provide a stable gas supply, and filter and purify the air. Choosing the right type of air compressor and maintenance specifications can improve the efficiency and cutting quality of your laser cutting machine. If you have a sufficient budget, you can purchase an air compressor configuration to further improve the cutting quality.
