Gas requirements
The customer must furnish all gases and gas-supply regulators for the system. Use a high-quality, 2-stage pressure
regulator located within 30 m (100 ft). of the gas console. See gas regulators in this section for recommendations. See
the Specification section for gas and flow specifications.
Note: Oxygen, air and nitrogen are required for all systems. Air is used as a purge gas.
Caution: Gas supply pressures not within the specifications in Section 2 can cause poor cut
quality, poor consumable life and operational problems.
If the purity level of the gas is too low or if there are leaks in the supply hoses or
connections:
• Cut speeds can decrease
• Cut quality can deteriorate
• Cutting thickness capability can decrease
• Parts life can shorten
