The purchase of a laser cutting or welding equipment represents
a substantial financial commitment by a metal fabricator.
To help maximize the return on investment, special consideration
must be given when selecting the lasing gases (He, N2, CO2
and CO), the assist gases (N2 and O2) and the supply system.
Minneapolis Oxygen Company and Gas Apparatus vendors work
with customers to choose the right gas type (gas purity and
mixture accuracy), supply mode (flow capacity, delivery pressure
requirements, etc.), and gas regulation and distribution equipment
for their individual application.
