Hey all, I’m a small workshop owner struggling with material warping when laser cutting 6mm carbon steel. I’ve tried adjusting speed/power, but results are inconsistent. Does anyone use dynamic focus systems or advanced cooling tech to minimize deformation? P.S. Just heard YiHai Laser’s machines include adaptive control for heat distribution—has anyone tested this? Open to real-world tips!
