Using a Mitsubishi 3015 no conditions in the machine for 10 gauge go everything else. been playing with the focus or gap and doesn't seem to be getting any ware THX

I am talking about Galvanized ! If you have conditions for 10 gauge mild steel that would help? I can change my nozzle size but only have 7.5 lens thx any help would be grate ??

you are running my exact set up. i will post a pic of what re run with N2. Sit tight.
 
Thx hookie I will try that on Monday this will defiantly help .All I cut is galv. So just using mild steel setting then adjusting as I go. Right know cutting 14 gauge .at 2800 power 2000 FreQ 90 duty 200 in/min 12 gas pressure N2 gas -0.04 focuse 0.04 nozzle gap .will send you pic of screen on Monday Your screen little bit different thx again for the help .
 
good deal, yeah your screen is different for sure lol. i was going to tell you that you might have to tweak the focus a little but otherwise it should be close
 
Hookie and or Meps,

Do you guys have setting for 16 GA Galvanized? For some reason every time I go back to my settings, that were near perfect a week ago, I cannot cut without major burrs on the thru side. If you could post your cut conditions for 16 GA it would be appreciated. I cut both Galvanized and Galvanneal. Also i am using an Amada FO-3015 Laser. 4000 W

Thank you much.
 
Fabprohelp : I cut 16 GA Galvanized All the time with a 3015 Mitsubishi I will get you some pic of my screen tomarrow and I will get both with air and N2. Also galvanized will leave some dross underneath try to raise your focal point.
 
Fabpro: I have to settings for you .This one is for N2 . 2700 watts 2500 frequency 99 duty 220 feed rate 0 offset 10 gas psi -0.04 focus 0.04 nzl gap. This for AIR 2700 watts 2500 frequency 99 duty 220feed rate 0 offset 6.5 gas psi 0.02 focus 0.04 nzlgap . This is using 7.5 lens with 1.7 nozzle.Two pics. Hope this helps.
 
Meps11, when you are saying gas pressure. Do you mean 10 PSI or 1.0 MPa? Because I cannot see how .06 MPa could possibly get through your material especially at 220 in/min
 
if you use mitsubishi then just take tehnology for ss and lens 5,little bit more freq for galvanized steel....thats all

sry you must tell me ticknes in mm
 
FABPRO: Sorry that was 10 MPa you can also use mild steel conditions. I run Mitsubishi 3015 EX-S series. SS conditions work but not good piercing time to long .But I still only use a 7.5 lens
 
Sorry I was away from my computer. I use the same setting for both 16ga ss and galv. But I run everything with a 7.5 lens. I can get a pic of the settings Monday. It's an fo 3015 so it should get a good reference point. If you want to email me just shoot it to andy@americanrampcompany.com
