Fiber Laser Cutting Machine FAQ

Common questions from Canadian fiber laser operators, answered by our technical team.

Rough edges on stainless steel are typically caused by incorrect assist gas pressure (too-low nitrogen), incorrect focal position, or a contaminated protective lens. Check nozzle alignment, increase nitrogen to 12–18 bar, and inspect the protective window for debris or damage.
Dross usually means your cutting speed is too high, assist gas pressure is too low, or focus position is off. On thick mild steel with oxygen, dross often indicates too much power at low speeds. Try reducing speed 10–15% or increasing oxygen pressure slightly and re-test.
Inspect daily and replace every 1–4 weeks depending on material type and hours. Cutting galvanized, coated, or reflective metals degrades lenses faster. Keep 5–10 spares in stock to prevent production downtime.
Start with the safety interlock loop: 1) Check chiller water flow sensor (a stuck magnetic plunger is the #1 cause), 2) Confirm all doors are fully closed, 3) Check E-stop status, 4) Read fault codes on the controller. About 90% of no-fire cases are safety interlocks working correctly, not a laser failure.

We can also service other fabrication machinery — submit a Service Request describing your machine and issue and we will advise on the fastest path.
Nitrogen is the recommended gas for aluminum — it prevents oxidation and delivers clean, bright edges. Use high-purity nitrogen (99.99%+) at 10–18 bar depending on thickness. Avoid compressed air on aluminum as it causes oxidized, rough edges with significant dross.
