  • Patent number: 9486749
    Abstract: This gas mixing device includes a main gas flow path, an additive gas flow path, a mixing section, and a flow rate control unit. A pilot type pressure regulating unit configured to regulate pressure of a main gas based on a pressure in the additive gas flow path and a mass flow meter configured to detect the flow rate of the main gas flow path are provided on the main gas flow path. An additive gas flow rate regulator configured to regulate a flow rate of an additive gas is provided on the additive gas flow path. The flow rate control unit controls the flow rate of the additive gas using the additive gas flow rate regulator based on a flow rate of the main gas detected by the mass flow meter.

  • Patent number: 9434024
    Abstract: A laser cutting device includes a control unit which sets a steady oxygen concentration, a moving speed of a laser nozzle and laser beam steady control conditions based on a material and a plate thickness of the workpiece, decreases the moving speed of the laser nozzle to a first setting speed when the laser nozzle arrives a first setting position in front of an end point of a cutting trajectory, and decreases a relative moving speed of the laser nozzle to a second setting speed by varying the oxygen concentration of the cutting gas and the control condition of the laser beam when the laser nozzle arrives at a second setting position.

  • Patent number: 9126288
    Abstract: A laser cutting nozzle configured such that a laser beam is irradiated through a nozzle hole formed in a nozzle main body from an opening of the nozzle hole, and an assist gas surrounding the laser beam is emitted. The nozzle hole includes a first control flow path, a second control flow path, and a third control flow path formed in a coaxial cylindrical shape, in sequence from upstream toward downstream in a flow direction of the assist gas. If a diameter of the first control flow path is ?A, a diameter of the second control flow path is ?B, and a diameter of the third control flow path is ?C, an equation ?A<?C<?B is satisfied.

  • Patent number: 8183499
    Abstract: A processing apparatus is provided in which a laser beam L2 is irradiated onto a processing portion of a workpiece W, and at the same time as the laser irradiation, an assist gas G is injected toward the processing portion from a nozzle 3 arranged concentric to the laser beam L2 so that the processing portion is covered with the assist gas G, thereby processing a piercing hole H on the processing portion. The apparatus includes control means 10 for processing a piercing hole H while moving the nozzle 3 within the range of 5 mm from a processing start point after the irradiation of the laser beam L2 is started.
