How to select the capacity of air compressor setup for laser?

In modern industry, laser cutting is widely used in material processing in many industries. How to determine the model of air compressor setup for laser cutting machine?

With the emphasis on energy conservation and emission reduction, energy use in industry is a big consumption. How to reduce consumption and improve work efficiency is a problem that every factory must think about. Compared with other energy sources, using air as laser cutting air compressor assist can greatly save production cost. Therefore, air compressor is more and more widely used in industry, and the supporting laser cutting air compressor equipment came into being. Of course, someone will ask here: “what kind of air compressor setup for laser laser cutting machine?”.

INTRODUCTION OF THREE GASES

When the air compressor is used for the laser cutting machine, it also has different air compressor capacity, that is, the size of the air compressor is also different, which is mainly determined according to the technical parameters of the laser cutting machine head, nozzle pressure, plate cutting thickness, etc. after understanding the actual requirements, Technicians can calculate the appropriate air compressor capacity to match the laser cutting machine.

When setup an air compressor for laser machine, users generally choose an laser cutting air compressor with a larger exhaust volume than the actual demand, and some salesman are also willing to sell an compressor with a larger discharge volume. However, if the volume of the air compressor for laser machine is too large, even if the laser air compressor has frequency conversion regulation, it may cause excess air supply when the laser compressor runs at the lowest frequency, and the machine has to enter the shutdown and sleep state. In order to maintain the stability of air supply pressure, once the air consumption continues, the air compressor has to start operation. Such frequent “start ,run, sleep, start ,run ,sleep” will not only shorten the service life of the laser cutting air compressor , but also cause foaming of the lubricating oil in the oil separator, resulting in an increase in the oil content of the exhaust air.

When “the air compressor volume flow is too large” has become a reality, it is necessary to try to reduce the number of automatic start and stop of the laser cutting air compressor by modifying the controller parameters.

Compmax compressor has designed a special permanent magnet variable frequency screw compressor setup for laser. The energy-saving air compressor model can be customized according to the needs of laser cutting machine. Moreover, technicians make plans free of charge according to the use and environmental conditions, and the VSD air compressor can ensure the constant pressure output , sufficient air volume, stable pressure and reduce fluctuations

When choosing the capacity of laser cutting air compressor, it is not that the bigger the better, but that the suitable one is good. If you need supporting equipment, you might as well consult shanghai airmax co.,ltd to help you select the type.
