Nowadays, more and more metal cutting applications are using nitrogen to assist cutting. The principle of laser cutting is performed by a high-energy laser beam melt metal material, high pressure and high flow gas is used to blow the melted metal material, forming cutting slits. NC system controls the motion axes to complete graphics processing.
In laser cutting operating, the cost of N2 (nitrogen) gas has reached 1/3-1/2 of total cost. To reduce laser cutting machine customers` nitrogen gas consumption cost, Gamma developed nitrogen generator exclusively for laser cutting application. With this nitrogen generator, customers not only can get low cost nitrogen gas, but also increase the utilization ratio of nitrogen, reduce the consumption of oxygen.
