Hi dxdy,
We do not cut that thick of material, but a description of what problems you are experiencing will be needed. Trumpf is actually very close to your location and their tech support will have the best answers. The machine should have parameters to cut 1" steel built-in from the factory. Some information that will help to know: what is the cutting gas and pressure, focal length of the cutting head/lens, the nozzle size/type, etc. Has the maintenance on the laser been kept up? Have you done a paper shot to see what the beam is looking like?

MY L49 6K 3030 has the same problem. The only way I can cut 3/8 plate well is to step up from a tip size 1.2 to a 1.4 tip and slow the speed to 90% I also lowered the focus a small amount to make it cut cleaner. I have a similar problem cutting 1/2". I have figured out if I program my .5" parts using the .055 tech table and reduce the speed to 90% then it cuts pretty well. Its strange. It cuts 5/8 up to 1" with little to no burr. But it does not like 3/8 and 1/2" My old 2030 CO2 cut 1/2 and 3/8 like butter.
