C Mounting the gas console
The gas console is usually mounted on the gantry to allow visibility to the operator. Additionally, the cutting gas supply
line between the console and laser head should be kept as short as possible to reduce pressure loss with a maximum
hose length of 10 m (30 ft). The supply lines to the gas console must be sized appropriately to support the required
pressures and flow rates for each gas.
The gas console for the laser cutting process is designed to cover the normal operating parameters for the assist
gas needed for laser cutting of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Additional outputs from the gas console are
provided for cooling of the laser head and a side jet for piercing of thicker materials. A supply of oxygen, nitrogen, and air
is required for proper operation, and the requirements are outlined in the Specifications section. To achieve the required
dynamic assist gas pressure performance for laser cutting, the maximum length of hose between the gas console and
the laser head is 10 m (30 ft). Use the 10 m (30 ft) hose (024874) supplied with this system.
