Unmatched Quality for Elite Demands
During the laser cutting process, an air compressor is used to provide auxiliary gas (such as oxygen, nitrogen or compressed air) to remove slag, increase cutting speed and improve cutting edge quality.
Using gas supplied by an air compressor can help cool the cut area quickly, reducing the size of the heat-affected zone, thereby reducing material deformation and stress concentration.

Laser cutting machines use laser sources of different powers to cut metals of different thicknesses.
Air compressors provide compressed air instead of nitrogen and oxygen to save gas costs.
1. Choose a low-noise air compressor: When buying an air compressor, choose a model with a lower noise level. Many manufacturers provide technical parameters for noise levels, usually expressed in decibels.
Oil-free compressors are generally quieter than oil-lubricated compressors and are suitable for environments with strict noise requirements.
2. Install a soundproof cover
Install a soundproof cover on the laser cutting machine air compressor and use sound-absorbing materials (such as foam, sound insulation cotton, etc.) to reduce noise transmission. Ensure that the cover is designed reasonably to facilitate heat dissipation and maintenance.
Design vents on the soundproof cover to ensure that the air compressor will not be damaged by overheating during operation.
3. Optimize pipe design
Use smooth pipes and avoid sharp turns and unnecessary resistance to reduce airflow noise.
Consider using soundproof pipes or wrapping sound insulation materials to further reduce the noise generated when airflow passes through.
4. Noise monitoring
Use noise monitoring equipment to regularly detect the noise level in the working environment to ensure that it is within a safe range.
1. Use appropriate auxiliary gas: Using nitrogen as auxiliary gas can effectively prevent oxidation. Nitrogen can remove oxygen during the cutting process and reduce the occurrence of oxidation reactions; if oxygen is used as an auxiliary gas, ensure that the cutting parameters (such as power and speed) are appropriate to control the degree of oxidation.
2. Adjust laser cutting parameters: Properly reducing the laser power can reduce the temperature of the material surface, thereby reducing the risk of oxidation. Excessive power can cause the material to overheat and increase the possibility of oxidation. Increasing the cutting speed can reduce the contact time between the laser and the material, thereby reducing the chance of oxidation. It needs to be adjusted according to the material type and thickness.
3. Control the cutting environment: Cutting in a humid environment may increase the risk of oxidation. Make sure the cutting area is dry to avoid moisture affecting the cutting quality. Maintaining good ventilation can help exhaust the smoke and gas generated during the cutting process and reduce the possibility of oxidation.
1. Determine the purpose
Application type: First, determine the specific purpose for which you will use the air compressor, such as spraying, air tools, cleaning, laser cutting, etc. Different applications have different requirements for compressors.
2. Calculate gas requirements
Gas flow: Understand the gas flow you need (usually expressed in cubic meters per minute or liters per minute). This can be determined by calculating the gas consumption of the air tools or equipment used.
Peak demand: Consider the gas demand during peak use and make sure the compressor can meet the maximum demand.
3. Choose the right pressure
Working pressure: Choose the right working pressure (usually expressed in bars or pounds per square inch) based on your application requirements. Make sure the maximum pressure of the compressor can meet the requirements of your equipment.
4. Consider the type of compressor
Piston compressor: Suitable for intermittent use, usually used in small applications, and relatively low price.
Screw compressor: Suitable for continuous use, high efficiency, suitable for large-scale industrial applications, but with a higher price.
Oil-free compressor: Suitable for applications with high air quality requirements, such as food, pharmaceutical and other industries.
