Laser Cutting Parts

CONSUMABLES 

Replacing your laser machine consumables when they show wear and tear is extremely important. It will greatly reduce working hours lost and improve how efficiently your laser cutting machine can produce a quality product. 

Make sure your laser machine operator knows how to replace laser consumables and recognise when they need to be replaced. You’ll also want to purchase consumables only from a trustworthy, reliable source. 

NOZZLES 

Nozzles play a very important role in the sheet metal cutting process. The laser beam and high-pressure air are emitted through the nozzle and the nozzle assists with the rapid ejection of gas. 

The nozzle can control the area and amount of gas diffusion which affects the quality of cutting. Located at the tip of the laser head and very close to the sheet metal, the nozzle experiences heavy wear and should be replaced regularly.


                                  


Ceramics and Protective lenses

CERAMICS

The ceramic ring on the cutting head of a laser machine transmits electrical signals collected by the laser head nozzle. The electrical signal that runs through the ceramic keeps the nozzle at a set distance from the sheet metal for optimal cutting, making this a crucial component of a laser cutting machine.

We suggest regularly checking the ceramic ring for signs of damage and replacing when needed.

PROTECTIVE LENS 

As the name suggests, a protective lens is the part of a laser cutting machine that prevents damage to the focal lens, including dust and slag splash. The protection lens should be checked regularly to ensure it is clean and dust-free.

J Tech Lasers now stocks a wide range of laser machine consumables and parts for cutting heads, including nozzles, nozzle adaptors, ceramics, protective lenses, and focal and collimating lenses in a range of sizes.
