Avelair can now offer 20 bar air compressors as a leading solution for plasma and laser cutting requirements that use compressed air as an assist gas. The laser cutting process includes the injection of an assist gas at the nozzle to assist the cutting process as the introduction of nitrogen, oxygen, or air helps transfer heat more effectively than just the laser.
Cutting gases such as nitrogen and oxygen have historically been the most common assist gases for laser cutting applications, however the cost of producing these gases are expensive. Compressed air offers advantages:
-
- Cost-Effective: Air is readily available and doesn’t require special storage or handling.
- Efficient Cutting: Air reduces reliance on expensive gases.
- Over-Burning Effect: Oxygen in air aids in the cutting process.
- Nitrogen Speed: Air’s nitrogen content ensures high cutting speeds.
Using the Avelair EVO 20 bar laser cutting air compressors not only offers cost effectiveness but also offers long term reliability into the process. The 20 bar air compressors are available with the necessary air treatment to provide oil free and dryer compressed air to ISO 8573-1 class 1.2.1 and are suitable for 18 bar air compressor and 19 bar laser cutting air compressor applications.
