Laser Pre-mix Gas

Laser gas quality is critical to the performance and reliability of the laser. Based on our experi- ence, we recommend BOC’s LASERSHIELD F or AGA’s LaserMix 21.

Call either of these national 800 numbers to locate the supplier closest to you.

A two stage regulator and twenty-five feet of hose with 3/8" fittings is provided to connect the gas bottle to the laser. If the installation requires a longer length, use Teflon/polyethylene hose only.

IMPORTANT - The installation of your machine can not be completed without the correct laser gas. Be sure to obtain at least two bottles prior to scheduling installation. The typical gas bot- tle will hold 220 ft3 of usable gas. For the 2000W laser, a single bottle of gas should last one to two months on a single shift basis. However, during installation, more gas is used than in normal operation.
