1.4-in-1 Screw Air Compressors for Laser Cutting: Selection Guide & Benefits

In laser cutting applications, a reliable 16-20 bar air compressor is critical for achieving clean cuts and optimal efficiency. Unlike standard compressors, these specialized systems use a more reliable airend and other components to deliver more stable, continuous compressed air, safeguarding sensitive laser optics.


Key Selection Criteria

  1. Pressure & Flow: Laser cutting usually requires 16 or 20 bar pressure with flow rates 1500-4000 L/min, depending on the laser machine’s power, nozzle size and cutting material.

  2. Air Quality: We use ATS Air Treatment Solutions to help minimize contamination, and a refrigerated air dryer is standard to help reduce moisture, with optional desiccant air dryer for more humid work sites.

  3. Integrated 4-in-1 Compressor are compact units combining air compressor, air dryer, filters, and storage tank in one frame, it’s designed for limited space areas like maintenance workshops.

  4. Energy Efficiency: VSD (Variable Speed Drive) air compressors adjust output to demand, they draw lower current during startup and automatically reduces speed during idle, thus reducing energy consumption by up to 30%.



Advantages

Enhanced Cut Quality: Stable pressure ensures smooth edges and reduces burrs.

Cost Savings: Compressed air can replace nitrogen for mild steel cutting, slashing gas costs.

Durability: Rocky selects reliable, high-spec brands and models to minimize potential downtime due to malfunctions.

Smart Integration: 7 inch colour touch panel PLC control enables real time monitoring, alarms & interlocks, data logging, PID control, remote control, etc.



Why Choose a Dedicated System?

16 and 20 bar compressors designed for laser cutting enhance productivity, protect laser optics and cutting nozzles, and reduce operational costs. For optimal results, choose a system with high energy efficiency, precise pressure regulation, and IoT enabled remote monitoring and diagnostics.
