Today’s laser-cutting machines at fabrication shops run a pretty penny, costing upwards to $1m. No small investment but well worth the price for precision cutting everything from mild to stainless steel, aluminum, titanium and more.
Despite that investment, many shops that utilize lasers in their manufacturing processes still use general-purpose regulators, which are spring-loaded, to supply gas to their laser cutting machines. These traditional regulators simply aren’t up to the task in providing consistent, reliable gas pressure to get the job done. As such, laser applications require a better regulator option – servo dome-loaded.
Gas distributors can better service their fabrication customers who operate lasers by understanding and explaining the significant difference between general-purpose and dome-loaded regulators.
