Laser Cutting Specifications Dashboard
Physical cut boundaries, geometric limits, and precision parameters of our fiber laser cutting infrastructure.
Sheet Bed Capacity
Large-format processing bed accommodating full-size titanium plates up to 3,000 x 1,500 mm — enabling single-setup cutting of large structural components.
Tube Processing Range
Versatile rotary chuck system handling titanium tubes from 20 mm to 220 mm diameter in lengths up to 6,000 mm — including round, square, and rectangular profiles.
Positioning Accuracy
High-precision linear drives and glass-scale feedback achieve micron-level positioning accuracy — ensuring tight-tolerance cut profiles and repeatable edge quality across the full work envelope.
Kerf Width & Edge Quality
Ultra-fine kerf width of 0.1 mm minimizes material waste while nitrogen-assist cutting delivers clean, oxide-free edges with surface roughness Ra 1.6-3.2 µm — ready for welding or forming without secondary processing.
Specifications based on our fiber laser cutting systems. Actual achievable kerf and edge quality depend on material grade, thickness, and assist gas selection.
Oxide & Slag Mitigation Protocols
Titanium's reactive laser cutting behavior demands precise gas dynamics and focal control. Here's how we eliminate oxide discoloration, dross, and deliver weld-ready edges.
High-Pressure Pure Nitrogen Purge
During fiber laser cutting of titanium, the intense localized heat (above 1,600°C) causes rapid oxidation along the cut edge — producing a brittle blue/gray oxide layer (alpha-case) that must be mechanically removed before welding or forming. Additionally, molten titanium slag re-solidifies on the bottom edge, creating dross that requires secondary grinding operations.
15-25 Bar Ultra-Pure 99.999% Nitrogen Gas Assist Lines
- High-pressure nitrogen assist gas at 15-25 bar (218-363 psi) is delivered coaxially through the cutting nozzle — ejecting molten titanium slurry from the kerf within milliseconds before it can oxidize or re-solidify on the cut edge
- Ultra-pure nitrogen (99.999% grade, O₂ < 3 ppm) eliminates oxygen from the cut zone entirely — preventing the formation of alpha-case embrittlement layers and keeping cut edges bright silver with zero oxide discoloration
- Dynamic gas pressure modulation: thin gauges (0.5-3 mm) use 15-18 bar for clean dross-free bottom edges; thick plates (3-12 mm) use 20-25 bar to ensure complete molten material evacuation from the full plate thickness
- Result: weld-ready cut edges with no oxide layer, no dross, and surface roughness Ra 1.6-3.2 µm — eliminating secondary deburring, grinding, or chemical cleaning operations before welding or forming
Dynamic Focal Clearance Control
Titanium's variable surface reflectivity and thickness changes during laser cutting cause inconsistent energy coupling at the cut front — leading to bottom-side dross adherence, striation patterns on cut edges, and incomplete through-cuts that require rework or scrap the component.
Automated German Follow-Up Capacitive Height Control & Adaptive Focal Positioning
- German-manufactured capacitive height sensing system maintains a precise 0.5-1.5 mm standoff distance between the cutting nozzle and the titanium plate surface — compensating for material warp, surface irregularities, and bed level variations in real-time at 1 kHz sampling rate
- Adaptive focal position control automatically shifts the laser beam focal point to the optimal depth within the material — near the top surface for thin gauges, at the lower third of the plate for thick sections — ensuring consistent energy density through the full cut depth
- Dynamic focal dithering: for plate thicknesses above 6 mm, the focal point is oscillated ±0.5 mm around the optimal position, creating a wider, more stable kerf that improves molten material ejection and eliminates bottom-side dross adherence
- Result: 100% dross-free bottom edges with perpendicular cut faces (< 2° taper) across the full thickness range — edges are immediately ready for welding, forming, or assembly without any secondary edge conditioning
