ideaLMixer120 FOR MIX GAS CUTTING
High quality processing of thick mild steel
Gas mixing is another alternative to pure nitrogen or oxygen cutting, where a specific blend of those two gases is used. This process behaves very much like a nitrogen cutting process; however, the addition of a small amount of oxygen increases the available energy in the cut. This mixture allows for the cutting speed to increase compared to cutting with nitrogen at the same laser power (as much as 30 percent faster linear feed rate) and at the same time, it reduces burr formation, resulting in a better-quality cut edge in thicker mild (carbon) steels. Additionally, the extra energy of this gas mixture compared to pure fusion cutting with nitrogen allows the range of possible thicknesses we can process with our available laser power to increase. Materials that would once have needed oxygen can now be processed with mixed gas at a higher speed and with excellent quality.
The idealMixer120 is compact, portable, mixes in real-time, and supports cutting pressures up to 30barg.
