Oxygen for laser cutting
High purity gas for cleaner cuts
Oxygen is used for cutting unalloyed or low alloyed mild/carbon steels whereby the material is heated to ignition temperature by the laser beam and burned in an oxygen jet. Pressure, the shape of the cutting jet and gas purity determine cut quality and cutting speed. We offer oxygen in various purities and a full range of supply modes to tailor the supply to your specific requirements.
Oxygen Performance for Laser Cutting
Specific purity for excellent laser cutting
The minimum purity of industrial grade oxygen is typically 99.5%. However, this is sometimes not sufficient for cut quality or cutting speed for laser applications. Oxygen Performance from Air Products is supplied at 99.95% purity and is ideal for mild/carbon steel applications with high cut quality standards. Oxygen Performance increases laser cutting productivity and quality.
Supply modes
CYLINDER PACKS
Oxygen Performance and Oxygen Technical are supplied in cylinder packs – ideal for smaller laser machines, or smaller operations.
LIQUID SUPPLY
For medium sized operations we recommend our unique compact on-site high-pressure CryoEase® service. This service allows your gas to be refilled while you laser is still running meaning no less in vented gas or production time. For larger operations we have a range of bulk tanks in various pressures and flow rates to suit all businesses. Liquid supply modes remove the requirement to handle cylinders so is safer and more efficient plus, we monitor your tank so there is never a risk of running out of gas.
