Small hole processing 20mm thick, Amada X1 (LVplus)
Small hole processing 20mm thick, Amada X1 (LVplus)
(OP)
Hi.
We are cutting 20mm mildsteel with some small holes size about 9mm and they are right size for about 3/4 deep then they get larger.
Cutting with 10Hz , Current control, speed 100mm/min gas 1bar focus +2,5 nozzle D24 1,5mm standoff 1.5mm
What should i do too improve the cut quality?

Using ramp pierce, 2step

We cut 20mm at 800-850mm/min depending on material.
We cut 12mm at around 1450-1600mm/min, is it close to how fast you cut?

There you have d24 nozzle.
Standoff is nozzle gap.
Speed is 31,5-33,5 inch/min for 20mm thick.
4Kw power

When we are cutting 25mm thick we have focus at 2.0 feed 625mm/min nozzle gap 1.0
Gas PR 0,7
So like you recommended lower the pressure and lower the focus as a start.
Getting some tapper with 25mm also.
The X1 use a highspeed powersensor for adjusting average power, so if we set power at 4000w at duty 80% were getting peak power at 5000w. Or 2500w duty 50%= peak 5000w
Is the F1 like this?

Tested with lower focus but got problems when piercing and no better cut.
Lower gas pr with a little better cut.
Hole size at pic is 12mm. Not cutting small holes as good as in 15mm thick.

How much do nozzle distance influence cut quality when using a dubble nozzle?
RE: Small hole processing 20mm thick, Amada X1 (LVplus)
Have cut some more 20mm the last days. Lowerd the nozzle high and reduced gas pr.
Speed 850mm/min gas pr 0,6 focus 2.0
Should i try too increase speed? Or do you think i should be pleased with the cut?

No problem make 1/8"G in it.

So try a longer lead in, and try it with a radius.
