Fiber Laser Stainless Steel Cutting, Air vs nitrogen- Full Demo
Description
Fiber lasers are highly effective in laser cutting of stainless steel sheet. Hindcam is a leading manufactures of high-end CNC laser cutting machines and also provides the live demos whenever required. Here we shall be discussing about the total cost and set-up required for the nitrogen/ air laser cutting procedures.
Time Stamps
(0.1-.35)-Air/Nitrogen Cutting Info: Here, we shall be going through the advantages and disadvantages of nitrogen and air cutting quality over stainless steel sheet.
(0.36–1.57): Nitrogen gas laser cutting set-up It needs a nitrogen cylinder with 20 bar pressure. Its main disadvantages are that its cylinder cost is a little higher (rs. 500–rs. 1000) and it runs only for 20 minutes. And its extra cutting cost is between Rs 20 and 30. In addition, it is not recommended for fabrication work due to its higher cost. However, you can use this machine to design work over the stainless steel sheet, as it does not need final finishing.
(1.58–2.25): Nitrogen laser cutting demo: we have shown here the final cutting samples via the nitrogen laser cutting machine.
(2.26-7.45): Oxygen laser cutting demo: with the reciprocating compressor, 15-20 bar pressure. Direct compressed air can’t be used.
- presence of engine oil in the air tank.
- air moisturizes in compressed air.
- dust particles present in the air.
So, here we need to get an oil filter, an air dryer, and a dust filter. Now, we will be going through the air-cutting advantages:
- Running cost is very low (compressor, filter, and electricity cost)
Disadvantages
- Cutting quality is not finished.
- Moisture in the air can affect the cleanliness of lenses.
Finally, we have taken the demo of air cutting with proper set-up.

Question and Answer on This Video
Q1. Does the 10-bar screw air compressor work with a 1500-watt fiber laser machine? How much does the acier carbon cut, and how much does the stainless cut?
10 bar pressure is on the low side. With air, while cutting MS, it is cut like steel (same speed, same parameter). So if you are using 1.5 kW, it should cut up to 6 mm MS easily. But the recommended is up to 3mm because, after 3 mm, the speed shall be very low. While cutting SS, the cutting speed is the same as nitrogen cutting (if the pressure is the same at the nose). Max thickness is also the same as in the case of nitrogen.
Q2. We have a 1 kW fiber laser cutting machine. We want to cut 4mm carbon steel with compressed air. Kindly tell me the following parameter settings: 1. Focus distance 2. single or double nozzle and its aperture size 3. Cutting speed
It also comes above 3 mm in Air. For air cutting, you need to use the same SS parameter for the same thickness. Recommended to cut with oxygen.
Q3. What is the price of a 1000-watt fiber laser cutting machine?
The machine’s price is Rs. 2650000 GST, with Raycus 1kw source, ray tool cutting head, cone cutting HW, and software.
Q4. What can I do for nitrogen MS cutting?
there is no benefit of nitrogen MS cutting, as there are no nozzles designed for nitrogen cutting. however, you can proceed with oxygen MS cutting, as it will be more cheaper.
Q5. How can I buy raycus cutting head?
