Retro-fitting regulators
Retro-fitting regulators
(OP)
I am looking to replace the regulators for my assist gas system, so the shop can clean cut stainless steel. The current SMC regulators only push out a maximum of 8 bars and i would like to see 20 bars. I can't find anything from SMC besides what I already have and other internet sites offer no help with high pressure. I am running a mazak with a 1500 watt PRC resonator. If possible I would like to clean cut 1/4" stainless. (PRC claims this is possible with 1500W) Any help with the regulators would be appreciated, also please let me know if the 1/4" is a reasonable thought.
Thanks
Thanks

For a while there PRC was doing an up grade to that style laser. They added bigger heat exchangers and a different turbo and got 2000 watts pretty consistently. There is a guy named Mark that works on a ton of PRC's. I believe he is in the MSP area.
When i get a chance, i'll look to see what type of regulators Amada uses. I know they go up to 2 MPa.
RE: Retro-fitting regulators
As for the assist gas, what are you going to use to supply the assist gas? 12 packs, liquid tanks? How many regulators are in the current configuration? Most systems have 2 regulators, one to control pre-pressure and then another, possibly electrically controlled regulator to set the desired pressure for the specific application.
