Gas Equipment for Laser Resonator Gases
Impurities in resonator gases can damage optics and reduce laser beam quality. Proper high-purity equipment is essential to maintaining the purity of laser gases.
Nippon Sanso Matheson’s LaserPro regulators and switchover systems have the same high-quality components (stainless-steel diaphragms, high leak integrity, etc.) used for years in critical laboratory and research applications.
LaserPro switchover systems provide continuous supply of resonator gas eliminating the need to shut down for cylinder changeouts, enhancing productivity. Systems are available for CO2/N2/He premix or for individual pure gases (real time mixing). Rack or wall mount.
Gas Equipment for Laser Assist Gases
Assist gases often require high pressures and flow rates. The Nippon Sanso Matheson LPHF Assist Gas Regulators utilize dome-loaded technology to handle this heavy duty application. The advantage of dome-loaded regulators is the stable delivery pressure under varying flow conditions, as well as almost-instantaneous flow when the laser calls for assist gas.
A standard spring-loaded diaphragm regulator experiences some lag time before flows and pressures stabilize. Dome-loaded technology allows for faster piercing times which are especially important if the customer nests many parts on one sheet. The dome-loaded regulators are also very durable, outlasting their spring-loaded counterparts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Industrial laser systems may require resonator gases and assist gases, depending on the laser technology and material being processed. Nippon Sanso Matheson supplies high-purity LaserPro™ gases and related gas-control equipment for resonator gases. Resonator gases are typically used within the laser resonator for beam generation in CO2 lasers, although He:Ne also use gas, but are less common in production. Most new laser technology is called ‘fiber’ lasers. These are a type of solid-state laser where the beam is generated in a fiber doped with Yb atoms, where the active medium is Yb (ytterbium) distributed in a fused silica fiber optic cable. Fiber lasers do not require high purity resonator gases to generate the beam, but they do use nitrogen, oxygen, or a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen to push the molten metal out of the cut.
Nippon Sanso Matheson supplies high-purity resonator gases and assist gases for industrial laser systems. Nippon Sanso Matheson understand the high flow and relatively high pressures use in assist gas supply. Nippon Sanso Matheson builds custom engineered bulk systems, including pressure building systems designed to meet these needs. Nippon Sanso Matheson also provides regulators, switchover systems, gas-control equipment, customized delivery solutions, and complete turnkey gas supply systems.
Impurities in resonator gases can damage optics and reduce laser beam quality. High-purity gases and gas-handling equipment with high leak integrity help preserve gas quality as it moves from the source to the laser.
Resonator gases support operation of applicable laser sources, while assist gases are delivered at the cutting area to support the cutting process. Nippon Sanso Matheson supplies both categories, along with process gases and equipment engineered for their different purity, pressure, and flow requirements.
Laser resonator gases require high-purity equipment designed to avoid introducing leaks or contaminants. Nippon Sanso Matheson’s LaserPro regulators and switchover systems use components such as stainless-steel diaphragms and are designed for high leak integrity.
An automatic switchover system can maintain a continuous resonator gas supply while cylinders are changed. Nippon Sanso Matheson offers LaserPro switchover systems for premixed carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and helium or for individual pure gases used in real-time mixing.
High-flow laser assist applications may benefit from dome-loaded regulator technology, which provides stable delivery pressure under varying flow conditions. Nippon Sanso Matheson’s LPHF assist gas regulators are designed for the high pressures and flow rates associated with these applications.
Yes. Nippon Sanso Matheson provides customized laser gas solutions based on operating requirements, including flow, pressure, gas purity, supply mode, and equipment configuration. The company can also provide a complete turnkey gas supply system for the laser application.
Nippon Sanso Matheson can supply gases for laser applications in bulk, microbulk, pallet mounted tanks with integrated pressure building systems, 6-packs of cylinders, 12-packs of cylinders, 18-packs of cylinders, liquid Dewars, bulk tanks tube trailers, or high-pressure cylinders. Its laser specialists evaluate required usage, flow and pressure parameters to recommend an appropriate supply method.
Nippon Sanso Matheson combines high-purity LaserPro gases, laser-specific gas-control equipment, multiple supply modes, custom engineering, and laser application expertise. This enables manufacturers to source both the gases and the associated delivery system from one industrial gas supplier.
