Help with laser cutting conditions

[SGU44]

I was just wondering if anyone could help me out with some laser cutting conditions.
I am running a 1500watt 6 axis laser.
Rotary chuck is being used for tube cutting.

Material: 4"dia 0.068 wall aluminized tube.

Thank you in advance.

HI There SGU44, from your name I'm thinking your operating a Mazak so you may wish to try these cut conditions:

1500 watts - 500 freq - 100 duty - gas pressure should be around 10.

I'd suggest a fee rate of 105 IPM for a start and see where that leads you. As I'm not sure exactly what problems your having it is rather hard to know what to tell you.

Good luck.
