CO2 Laser Counters
Laser beams in CO2 laser machines are created with a mixture of gases where CO2 gas forms the majority. Nitrogen gas is used to clean the particles, other gases and water vapour inside the beam path within the counter and it is also used as a cooler. Moreover, oxidation and similar reactions can be prevented while cutting thanks to the compressed nitrogen gas and clinker does not form on the cutting surface. CO2 counters can be used to cut thicker and harder metals compared to other types of counters with nitrogen.

Fiber Laser Counters
Fiber laser cutting counters have become more widespread over the past years. Compared to CO2 counters, thinner metals are processed on these counters which are faster. As the laser beams are transferred with the help of fiber cables, there is no need to clean the beam path here. Whilst the compressed nitrogen gas is directly transferred to the cutting area, cutting quality is increased. Another advantage of the nitrogen gas is the possibility to carry out faster cuts compared to other gases thanks to the repelling force.

Impact of Nitrogen Gas on the Material
It is possible to deduct the following conclusions with regards to Ideal Makina Nitrogen Generators based on our experience within the industry as İdeal Makina.

• Stainless Steel While transferring fluid raw materials such as hot cacao, nitrogen gas is given to prevent burning or spoiling as a result of contact with oxygen in the pipeline. This way, whilst production continues without any raw material loss, transfer of the fluid is supported as a driving power.
• Soft Steel (Black Sheet, DKP) It prevents tarnishing on the cutting surface of the material. Cutting surface blisters the dye while painting and black sheets are removed. For the materials which exceed a certain thickness, we recommend compressed nitrogen gas that has high purity levels as İdeal Makina.
• Aluminum sheet is softer compared to other types of sheets, therefore oxygen in the environment causes the cutting surface to turn yellow whilst cutting. Moreover, nitrogen gas is used while cutting to cool the cutting surface and blurring on the surface is prevented.
