    skewed holes and shapes on pulsar 2415

    Hi, Check your cutting speeds, if they are to fast the drives can over run slightly causing oval holes and wobbles at corners. Also check to see if the parts aren't moving in the sheet as they are being cut, as parts are cut from the sheet it will loose it's structure and can move as the bed...

    New Laser- Your Opinion Counts!!!

    Hi Gary, We run a 2kw Mazak Laser, and I for one think it is a very good machine. The software sucks, but I have replaced that with SigmaNest software which I highly recommend and other than that we have had very little trouble with it. It is now close to 12000 hrs and we are just looking now...

    Mazak Laser Cutter Seeking partner???????

    Hi Buckley, My name is not caren, its Dale. Bit of a slip up when I joined. All my 3D programming is done on the machine, by mapping 2D programs onto the 3D surface using the teachbox supplied. We looked at the Mazak software but the price was over the top. I once looked at Surfcam, but the...

    bevel cutting, would like help

    We have a SpaceGear48, that I have been running for approx 3 years. I havn't found many solutions to the problem you mentioned. As you start cutting bevels, your material thickness increases so your cutting conditions have to compensate for that(ie more power,slower feed rate.)but as the angle...

    pressings, shiny patch problems on mild steel

    Hi Jammie, What is the assist gas you are using for cuttin. You mention Oxy for piercing, are you using it for cutting as well? You may be able to set a offset when piercing to lift the tip higher, I would recommend 2mm. If you still have problems you could try step piercing, I use this on...

    Anyone Using Mitsubishi Lasers

    Hi Ben, I think the Mazak machines use a Mitsubishi resonator for the laser generation, but I wasn't aware that Mitsubishi do a Laser Cutter. I use Sigmanest software from SigmaTek, for all my nesting and programing. It's great. Has a lot of features for common line cutting and bridging of...

    5 Axis Laser Offline Programming

    Hi there, we have a Mazak 5 axis Laser, and I have had the same problem with finding programing solutions. Mazak sell a 3D programe suite, but it is very expensive and knowing their other software products, it's more than likely very compilcated. I purchased some 2D and Rotary programing...

    laser cutting 11ga stainless with pvc coating

    hello, Laser cutting PE coated sheet is very common, and so is this problem. There is , unfortunitly, not much you can do, if the P.E has a low grip adhevsive. The gas pressure will get under it and blow it up. You can try to do a pre burn at the pierce point. This can seal the film around the...
