RE: Cutting trouble
With that image it seems a problem with unstable cutting (sometimes cuts clean other times just doesnt). This can happen because of your protective window or because of the laser centering. Did you check those?
Hope it helped.

RE: Cutting trouble
In my case (PRECITEC HEAD FIBER LASER) I have a protective window above 200mm of the nozzle, and sometimes, it gets points of "dirt" and it makes the cut unstable or it makes impossible to cut.
If it is possible I clean it, if not, I have to replace it for a new one.
Hope it helped,

Does this happen after a certain amount of cutting time? Or is it completely random?
What laser are you using?
RE: Cutting trouble
Look through the film with the lens in front of the monitor, stress will show up as rainbow colors.
You may have to rotate the film or your head for the best effect.

RE: Cutting trouble
Would this be an issue for a service tech to address? Also, what size nozzle would you recommend for 1/2" HRS? A good set of cut conditions would be greatly appreciated.
