Nozzle types
Nozzle | Image | Required gas pressure | Usage scenario | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Double-layer nozzle |
| 0.06 MPa |
|
|
Ordinary nozzle |
| > 1.2 MPa |
| Higher gas pressure for thicker material: Ordinary nozzle requires higher gas pressure (typically 1 MPa / 1.2 MPa) to cut through steel plates thicker than 2 mm |
SaveGas™ nozzle |
| > 0.6 MPa |
|
|
CNC cleaning nozzle |
| 0.5– 0.6 MPa |
