Defining New Processing Parameters in Laser Cutting

In a time when modern production has become exposed to strict market demands, in terms of increasing quality, shortening the processing time and reducing the cost of the final product, laser processing has become a necessity in almost all manufacturing industries. Each laser manufacturer, including the Swiss company Bystronic, gives recommended cutting parameters for certain types of materials. The paper presents the process of defining new parameters for cutting parts made of fireproof steel (steel AISI 314) for which the recommended cutting parameters have not been provided by laser manufacturer. Adequate accuracy of the quality and shape of the cut has been reached. Therefore, the obtained parameters are reliable and are further used in the production process.
