Hoerbiger LASGAM gas mixer mixes oxygen and nitrogen together during laser cutting, normally used alone. At its best, gas mixing can increase productivity by 50% and reduce gas consumption by 55%! Gas mixing improves the cut edge and significantly reduces burrs, so the time spent on post-processing decreases considerably or post-processing is even completely unnecessary before painting or welding. The mixer control is equipped with a convenient touchscreen interface and can be integrated directly into the control systems of lasers. When should GasMixer (mixed with 2…5% O2 into N2) be used?

• when cutting primarily carbon steel, i.e. “black steel”
• when the laser is more powerful than 8 kw
• when the sheet thickness is more than 8 mm

What is achieved with carbon steel

• gas consumption can be reduced by up to 50%
• cutting speed can increase by about 30%
• gas pressure can decrease by about 20%

Mixing gas works best with carbon steel, stainless steel increases slightly, and the pressure drops 20…30%, in aluminum the effect is smallest, the speed doesn’t change much, but the pressure drops 20…30% and the cut edge is quite good. Horbiger LASGAM is known for German quality, compact and functional solution for both new and existing lasers.
