The decision to invest in a laser cutter is not one to be taken lightly.
Laser manufacturers do an excellent job of explaining the advantages
of using laser cutters for fabrication – but there are many other factors
to consider before making such a large capital expenditure.1
At Air Products, we’re experts in all things gas-related. As a result, we’ve
been working with new laser installations for years, servicing a range
of industries that make use of laser equipment. We’ve observed that as
the capability of lasers improves and their availability increases, many
small- and medium-sized fabricators are investing in laser cutting
equipment to augment their manufacturing capabilities.
All too often in these cases, considerations regarding gas supply
for lasers are overlooked or forgotten completely! This is where Air
Products is typically called in to provide advice and supply the optimal
gases for a given application.
It’s important to think about gas as early as possible, but a number
of additional costs and considerations such as training, logistics and
futureproofing can make adoption of laser cutting a confusing process.
We’ve written this comprehensive guide so that manufacturers can
make the best decision possible when considering purchasing their
first laser machine
