Laser Cutting Machine Maintenance: Care of Lenses, Nozzles, and the Optical System
The processing capability and operating cost of a laser cutting machine depend heavily on the level of daily maintenance. Of two identical machines, one may still cut with consistent quality after three years while the other suffers frequent incomplete cuts, rough edges, and power degradation. The difference is usually not the brand of the machine […]

How to Choose a Laser Cutting Assist Gas: Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Compressed Air Selection and Cost Control
Assist gas is the second-largest consumable in laser cutting after electrical power, and it is also a cost item that many fabricators can see but cannot calculate accurately. On the same machine, cutting the same material thickness, changing the assist gas can significantly change cutting speed, cut-edge quality, and cost per part. Many companies calculate […]

Thin- and Thick-Sheet Laser Cutting: Differences and Parameter Adjustments
How to Choose Between Fiber-Laser and CO2-Laser Cutting These topics are closely related. Sheet thickness affects not only cutting parameters but often also determines which laser equipment should be used. This article combines both topics to support a complete understanding and systematic decision-making. Part 1: Differences Between Thin- and Thick-Sheet Laser Cutting There is no […]
