    Post Aluminium cutting

    Just asking question on cutting alum in general on a Amada fo3015 4000 watt laser. We just started cutting more alum and we seem to loose the cut after all the holes are cut out,it starts on the outside cut ,then stops cutting. Usually has a litttle hiccup then stops cutting. If anyone has cut conditions for .25 on down or just .125 material. Cut quality with dross on bottom is not a big deal right now. We have new optics in and mirrors were just cleaned last month. We also have a problem with cutting 1/2” steel . Cut quality is not very good. Just like to get some input.

    thanks,
    rosco89

    Where are you located? Who installed the optics? What optics are you using? Can you cut 1 circle Near and the other far? You say you loose cut, are you monitoring assist gas?
    Email me I have a number you can call. He is former application specialist for Amada laser. It would be worth looking into hiring him for a few days.
    Best regards,
