Product Description
DuriAuxiliary gas for Fiber Laser Cutting, did you get the right one?
The schematic diagram of laser cutting is shown in the following.
During the process, auxiliary gas is necessary to blow off the slag/dross in the kerf and cool down the cutting surface, also it protects lens and nozzle of laser. Basically there are 3 kinds of gas: Oxygen, Nitrogen and Air, any of them affects directly to the cutting performance, speed, thickness etc. So we really need to think better before action.
1.Oxygen
Oxygen is commonly used to cut thick carbon steel because the chemical reaction between iron element and oxygen helps the metal absorb heat and promotes it melt, which can greatly improve the cutting efficiency.
However, oxygen will cause a marked oxide film on the cut surface and it will have a quenching effect around, increases the hardness which impact on subsequent processing. It also turns kerf to black or dark yellow.
Generally, Oxygen assists carbon steel plates cut, low-pressure punching, and low-pressure cutting. Oxygen is generally vaporized from liquid oxygen which provided by the local supplier, so the quality of the gas source is clean and no need special treatment.
2. Nitrogen
Nitrogen will form around the molten metal as protective atmosphere while it’s assisting the cut, prevent oxidation of the material, avoid the formation of oxide film. However, the cutting speed is not as fast as oxygen, and the nitrogen consumption of the nitrogen is large which means the cost will be higher.
The non-oxidized surface has the characteristics of direct welding, strong corrosion resistance and the kerf turns white.
Generally, nitrogen is used to cut stainless steel, galvanized sheet, aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass and other materials, by low-pressure perforation and high-pressure cutting. When cutting with nitrogen, the change of the gas flow has a great impact on the cutting performance, in this case, make sure the gas flow is sufficient and constant. Nitrogen is usually vaporized from liquid nitrogen provided by supplier, so the quality should be clean.
3. Air
Air, as it’s the most economic medium because it’s much easier to obtain than oxygen and nitrogen, nobody can charge you for air!
Every 1 knows the air contains about 20% oxygen and about 78% nitrogen, so it can make up for both shortage and cutting speed is slower than oxygen but faster than nitrogen. Since the oxygen is involved, the kerf turns a little bit yellow. It’s the most economic option for you as long as you are okay with the color change.
Generally compressed air can be used for cutting sheet-metal parts, aluminum sheet, nonmetal and galvanized sheet etc., air assist can certainly reduce the oxide film and absolutely save your cost, therefore, air assist is more and more equipped in fiber laser cut industry.
Compressed air can be obtained easily with an air compressor, but not any air compressor can be equipped for Fiber Laser Cutter as the Air itself is not clean, especially after compressing, there are plenty of water, oil and particles and any of them sprayed on the lens, the transmission of laser beam will be seriously affected and focus scattered, resulting bad cutting effect such as bottom burrs or rough kerf, even obsolescence.
Situation could be much worse if it is high-power fiber laser, even a tiny particle or a little spray will very possibly burn your entire lens cone.
In order to make the most economic (Air assist) way workable, ensure cutting quality and avoid any damage for your fiber laser, the compressed air must be pure and constant, 100% meet ISO 8573-1-2571 standard.
Dehaha 4-in-1 (Compressor + receiver tank+ dryer + filters) high pressure air compressor is special compressor for Fiber Laser Cutting industry, custom built to provide filtered, dried, continuous reliable supply of high pressure compressed air at 2~10ºCdew point to assist laser cutting. Produce your own assist air at a fraction of the cost of cylinder.

How is air pressure measured in air compressors?
Air pressure in air compressors is typically measured using one of two common units: pounds per square inch (PSI) or bar. Here’s a brief explanation of how air pressure is measured in air compressors:
1. Pounds per Square Inch (PSI): PSI is the most widely used unit of pressure measurement in air compressors, especially in North America. It represents the force exerted by one pound of force over an area of one square inch. Air pressure gauges on air compressors often display pressure readings in PSI, allowing users to monitor and adjust the pressure accordingly.
2. Bar: Bar is another unit of pressure commonly used in air compressors, particularly in Europe and many other parts of the world. It is a metric unit of pressure equal to 100,000 pascals (Pa). Air compressors may have pressure gauges that display readings in bar, providing an alternative measurement option for users in those regions.
To measure air pressure in an air compressor, a pressure gauge is typically installed on the compressor’s outlet or receiver tank. The gauge is designed to measure the force exerted by the compressed air and display the reading in the specified unit, such as PSI or bar.
It’s important to note that the air pressure indicated on the gauge represents the pressure at a specific point in the air compressor system, typically at the outlet or tank. The actual pressure experienced at the point of use may vary due to factors such as pressure drop in the air lines or restrictions caused by fittings and tools.
When using an air compressor, it is essential to set the pressure to the appropriate level required for the specific application. Different tools and equipment have different pressure requirements, and exceeding the recommended pressure can lead to damage or unsafe operation. Most air compressors allow users to adjust the pressure output using a pressure regulator or similar control mechanism.
Regular monitoring of the air pressure in an air compressor is crucial to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and safe operation. By understanding the units of measurement and using pressure gauges appropriately, users can maintain the desired air pressure levels in their air compressor systems.

What is the difference between a piston and rotary screw compressor?
Piston compressors and rotary screw compressors are two common types of air compressors with distinct differences in their design and operation. Here’s a detailed explanation of the differences between these two compressor types:
1. Operating Principle:
- Piston Compressors: Piston compressors, also known as reciprocating compressors, use one or more pistons driven by a crankshaft to compress air. The piston moves up and down within a cylinder, creating a vacuum during the intake stroke and compressing the air during the compression stroke.
- Rotary Screw Compressors: Rotary screw compressors utilize two intermeshing screws (rotors) to compress air. As the male and female screws rotate, the air is trapped between them and gradually compressed as it moves along the screw threads.
2. Compression Method:
- Piston Compressors: Piston compressors achieve compression through a positive displacement process. The air is drawn into the cylinder and compressed as the piston moves back and forth. The compression is intermittent, occurring in discrete cycles.
- Rotary Screw Compressors: Rotary screw compressors also employ a positive displacement method. The compression is continuous as the rotating screws create a continuous flow of air and compress it gradually as it moves along the screw threads.
3. Efficiency:
- Piston Compressors: Piston compressors are known for their high efficiency at lower flow rates and higher pressures. They are well-suited for applications that require intermittent or variable air demand.
- Rotary Screw Compressors: Rotary screw compressors are highly efficient for continuous operation and are designed to handle higher flow rates. They are often used in applications with a constant or steady air demand.
4. Noise Level:
- Piston Compressors: Piston compressors tend to generate more noise during operation due to the reciprocating motion of the pistons and valves.
- Rotary Screw Compressors: Rotary screw compressors are generally quieter in operation compared to piston compressors. The smooth rotation of the screws contributes to reduced noise levels.
5. Maintenance:
- Piston Compressors: Piston compressors typically require more frequent maintenance due to the higher number of moving parts, such as pistons, valves, and rings.
- Rotary Screw Compressors: Rotary screw compressors have fewer moving parts, resulting in lower maintenance requirements. They often have longer service intervals and can operate continuously for extended periods without significant maintenance.
6. Size and Portability:
- Piston Compressors: Piston compressors are available in both smaller portable models and larger stationary units. Portable piston compressors are commonly used in construction, automotive, and DIY applications.
- Rotary Screw Compressors: Rotary screw compressors are typically larger and more suitable for stationary installations in industrial and commercial settings. They are less commonly used in portable applications.
These are some of the key differences between piston compressors and rotary screw compressors. The choice between the two depends on factors such as required flow rate, pressure, duty cycle, efficiency, noise level, maintenance needs, and specific application requirements.
