Hello,

To offer you some help, some information is necessary on the make and power of the laser.  Also do you have the possibility to cut with high pressure nitrogen or not?

Regards,

We are using a Hankwang Koba 3015. It is a 2000 watt system. We are capable of running high pressure nitrogen.
The operator says he also uses a 2in tip. We need cutting conditions for 1/4in stainless. Operator says if all you have is conditions for a 3000 or 4000 system, he may be able to modify it for our use. Beyond this, I really don't know a whole lot about this machine. Any help you can give us would be sincerely appreciated.

Thank you,
Kimberly

Kimberly,

A Hankwang uses a Panasonic Resonator which you could cut the 1/4" SS using Full Power:  2000 Watts, 2000 Hertz, 100% Duty.  Use a gas pressure of 13 to 15 kg (200-250 psi) with a nozzle diameter of about 3 mm.  Focus should be 1/2 to 2/3 into the material (-.100" to -.200").  As far as feedrate start slow with about 20"/min and work your way up to 30".

Hope this helps
