The Importance of CO2 Laser Optimization

Every laser user, along with their superiors, wants the laser system to operate optimally. When these systems aren’t optimized, time and money is lost through lower cut speeds, increased dross on the edges of the cuts, and more frequent down-time due to maintenance. Contact us

Tech Tip: Minimizing Corrosion in Water-Cooled Sensors

Historically, corrosion in our sensors manifests as pitting corrosion in the anodized aluminum. There are a number of factors that contribute to pitting corrosion including dissolved oxygen, chloride ions, more “noble”/cathodic metallic ions in solution, and excessive pH values (less than 4 or higher than 9). This is why we recommend neutral DI water, which…
