LASER CUTTING SOLUTIONS

LaserStarTM Gases and Blends

Praxair provides end-to-end support for your laser cutting installation.

For optimum laser performance Praxair’s Praxair’s solutions include;
LaserStar gases are produced to meet the
stringent requirements of the laser processing ?? High pressure cylinders to bulk and everything
industry. Available as pure gases or pre-blended in between
mixtures of helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, ?? LaserStar 5.0 and 5.5 resonator gases
and occasionally, carbon monoxide, Praxair’s ?? Gas regulation and distribution system design
LaserStar gases are used to generate the laser ?? Membranes and generators
beam in a wide variety of CO2 lasers. ?? Laser regulator gas start up kits
?? OEM quality laser optics
Carbon dioxide lasers must be protected
from the problems created by moisture,
hydrocarbons and other contaminants which can
be introduced through the gas supply system.
These impurities may reduce laser power, create
unstable operating characteristics, damage
expensive optics and cause costly downtime.
With a properly designed delivery system, the
use of LaserStar gases can help ensure peak
performance for longer periods of time between
maintenance cycles and reduce maintenance
costs.

With the advances in CO2 lasers technology
and the introduction of fiber lasers for cutting
flat sheet metal cutting, Praxair’s team of
automation experts will work together with laser
manufacturers to bring you the best solutions
for your cutting applications. We look at your
entire manufacturing process to help identify
possible bottlenecks and process improvements
to reduce operating costs and improve
productivity with the right gases, equipment
and consumables.
