    Dealer claims "low press N2 is new trend" ??

    In looking at new and used machines we recently had a dealer with a laser background make the following claim. "High press nitrogen is old school, with todays high purity N2 and advanced nozzels its not needed in a machine." Is there some new process/method that this applies to? I think it is...

    -Powering a 4KW laser with a generator ?

    Thanks for replies gents, the gen choice was used as they al ready own it. It should work as the total demand is 91 KVA, vacume cooler res and motion control. That said I have also considered splitting the system up. Res on the generator and cooling and fans etc on the 208Y system.. As if...

    Hillbilly laser cooling ?

    Yes the plan is to use fresh water and dump the hot. It looks like I can get 6 GPM at 60F, sorry I dont know how many BTUhr that will remove. Im curious if the 75 psi rating is to control steaming in a very hot section of the laser. Do most all brands of industrial lasers run at these...

    Hillbilly laser cooling ?

    Yes, yes you got me, 8 GPM is the chiller spec. I think our current well pump runs at 6.0 GPM. So what about these pressures and flow? Is this in fact what is ran in the field for a 2500 watt co2 laser. At any rate what does it take at a minimum to pull off 95ooo BTUhr? Many tanks, as they...
