Highlights

  1. Why
    Cutting with compressed air is bringing very impressive results especially in terms of running costs.
  2. Affordability
    Cutting with compressed air is cheaper than with nitrogen, and this is all the truer when the cost per m3 of nitrogen increases.
  3. Potential 
    Depending on the source power, Salvagnini ACUT can now cut thicknesses of up to 20 mm. 
  4. Trends
    A summary of the current state of cutting with compressed air, according to the Salvagnini's experience.

Salvagnini has had a change of…air

Nitrogen, oxygen or compressed air? The choice of the best assist gas for laser cutting depends on the material to be cut, its thickness, the required cutting speed, but especially on the final application of the component, which brings with it some specific requirements in terms of cost and quality.
