Here is a general specification overview for SMC & CNC Laser Gas Manifold Systems, used in laser cutting or welding operations. These systems are critical for delivering assist gases like oxygen, nitrogen, or CO to laser cutting machines in a safe and controlled manner.
Laser gas manifold systems are designed to deliver high-purity assist gases (typically O, N, or CO) to CNC laser machines. The manifold system controls pressure, flow rate, and gas switching while ensuring safety and minimizing contamination.
Component | Description |
---|---|
Inlet Connections | Compatible with high-pressure gas cylinders (typically 200-300 bar) |
Pressure Regulators | Dual-stage or single-stage, depending on application; maintains consistent outlet pressure |
Gas Filters | Removes particulates and ensures gas purity |
Solenoid Valves | For remote or automatic gas switching |
Pressure Gauges | Inlet and outlet pressure indication (usually analog or digital) |
Outlet Connections | Configurable to suit CNC machine input (e.g., ¼", ", or custom fittings) |
Safety Relief Valve | Prevents overpressure scenarios |
Piping Material | Stainless steel (SS316/SS304) or brass (nickel-plated) depending on gas type and purity requirement |
Mounting Options | Wall-mount or rack-mount options available |
Purge Valves | For inert gas purging to prevent contamination |
Oxygen (O): Medical- or industrial-grade; use O2-compatible components (no lubricants that can combust)
Nitrogen (N): Inert; used for high-speed cutting, especially for stainless steel
Carbon Dioxide (CO): For specific laser applications; piping must be CO-compatible
Parameter | Value |
