Hey drossfree. do you have any experience settingu piercing on aluminium? my parameters work but arent very nice and my laser "stalls" sometimes on the mound at the pierce.
Thats what I've found too. Been cutting some 0.04" and 0.05" sheets that have plastic and they turn out pretty good. Just the occasional section where there was a tooth under the cut or if the edge flexes away from the gas preassure.
I am fairly new to laser cutting and feel I have done fairly well adapting to a new machine. Previously ran 2.5 and 5 axis cnc mills.
However, I have a potential customer that is adament about dross-free aluminium.
3/16" Aluminium
1mm Single tip
1 in/s cut speed
300-350 psi N2
-0.188" focus...
