having problems cutting on second half of sheet !!!!
(OP)
We have an Amada F0 3015 Laser and we have issues with the second half of the sheet, with Aluminum the cut starts to blister up and wont cut at all, with steel it appears to cut but the bottom welds its self together. we have had Amada techs tell us it was a problem coming from the resinator so they messed with that and the problem is still there . they have come out to clean our mirrors and nothing changes finally we have replaced all internal mirrors and external mirrors and the problem is still there but it comes and goes sometimes we cut great and other times we cant cut anything, has any body had this problem with any laser? if so how did you fix it??? Thanks Alot we have no one to turn to not even Amada!!

Things that may be in question.
Beam alignment
Adaptive optic settings / function,
Tracking of the z-sensor (nozzle gap)
and the hoses or maybe cables you mentioned.
Is it night and day? Once you cross 60" it goes to heck or is there a transition zone? Is it the side of the sheet closest to the oscillator or shuttle table?

If it's the same, then the problem is time related. If it's cutting bad right away, then the problem is location based.
If it's time related, could be a cooling issue, or maybe a power sensor issue (you can disable the sensor as a test).
It it's location based, could be a cable as mentioned in other posts.
What chemical are you using in your chiller water?
What purge system do you have for the optical path? Could you try to use nitrogen in bellows as a test?
