Laser & Plasma Cutting

N₂ or O₂ assist gas for precision cutting. O₂ enables exothermic reaction for faster carbon steel cutting. N₂ produces bright, dross-free stainless edges — no secondary finishing needed.

N₂ / O₂

Why On-Side Gas for Cutting?

Dross-Free Cuts

High-pressure N₂ (10–20 bar) blows molten material away, producing bright, oxide-free edges on stainless steel. No secondary deburring or grinding required.

Faster Speeds

O₂ assist gas adds exothermic energy, enabling 20–40% faster cutting speeds on carbon steel up to 25mm. Higher throughput per machine hour.

Eliminate Cylinder Logistics

On-site generation eliminates cylinder rental, delivery surcharges, and changeover downtime. Continuous 24/7 gas supply for production lines.

Dual Gas Flexibility

Single on-site system can supply both N₂ and O₂. Switch between gases instantly for different materials and thicknesses.

Common Applications

Automotive

Frame rails, body panels, chassis components. High-volume production with consistent gas.

Structural Steel

Beam cutting, plate profiling, pipe coping. O₂ for speed on carbon steel sections.

Shipbuilding

Large-format plate cutting. On-site supply eliminates cylinder logistics in yards.
