METAL LASER CUTTING
Fibre and CO2 lasers are used for metal cutting. There are
generally two categories of metal cutting. In the first cat-
egory, cutting is done with nitrogen; in the second category
it is done with oxygen. Cutting with oxygen is special be-
cause much higher speeds can be reached. This is because
oxygen gives additional support to combustion.
When cutting with nitrogen, the surface quality is better and
oxidation of the part is considerably lower. Both procedures
can be carried out with the laser robot ROBOCUT. Both pro-
cedures can also be integrated in the laser cutting system
FLACS RT series.
