The application of air compressor in laser cutting is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1.Cutting gas: The compressor provides the laser cutting head with specialized cutting gases that help remove molten or vaporized material and keep the cutting area clean.

2.Power air supply: The power air source provided by the air compressor is used to clamp the cylinder of the workbench to ensure that the workpiece is stable and fixed during the cutting process.

3.Optical path system purging and dust removal: The air compressor provides clean and dry compressed air for purging the optical path system of the laser cutting machine to prevent dust and dirt from affecting the transmission and cutting quality of the laser.

4.Affect the quality of the cut: The quality of the compressed air directly affects the quality of the laser cutting. If the compressed air contains a lot of oil and water, it will pollute the lens of the laser cutting head, and in severe cases, it will reflect the laser light, causing the focusing lens and laser head to burn out.

5.Barometric stability requirements: In the laser cutting process, the air pressure of the auxiliary gas has a significant impact on the cutting result. The assist gas needs to have sufficient pressure to completely remove the sludge from laser cutting.

6.High-pressure supporting requirements: With the requirements of cutting plates, high-pressure compressed air flow needs to be stable and reliable.

7.Drying and purification requirements: The compressed air system of the laser cutting machine is extremely sensitive to the content of oil and water, and requires no oil, no water and no dust. The biggest difficulty in the compressed air system is the drying and purification of the compressed air.

8.Environmental protection and energy saving: Laser cutting technology is gradually replacing the traditional process of high pollution and high consumables, and has the characteristics of green environmental protection. The air compressor needs to be kept clean during operation to avoid impurities and pollutants that affect the quality of the gas.

9.Trend of intelligence, energy saving and environmental protection: In the future, the laser cutting integrated air compressor will pay more attention to intelligence, energy saving and environmental protection to reduce energy consumption and exhaust emissions.

10.Advantages of special air compressor: The use of special supporting air compressor can ensure the quality of laser cutting, obtain good cutting efficiency and very obvious processing cost savings.

Air compressors play an important role in laser cutting, not only affecting cutting efficiency and quality, but also involving the stability and economy of equipment operation. The correct selection and use of an air compressor is essential for the laser cutting process.
