GAS ON LASER
DATE : 21-10-16
1.OBJECTIVE
i. To determine the rate of nitrogen consumption against the number of sheets processed
ii. To determine the time it takes to finish a 11 kg cylinder of nitrogen.
iii. To determine cost effectiveness of cutting galvanised sheets on the laser.
4.RESULTS
The trial run used an average of one cylinder per hour to cut 25 galvanised sheets. This rate of usage can have a significant impact on the cost
of production as it is high. The impact will be determined by the price of nitrogen. Based on the data acquired from trial ,the table below
summarizes nitrogen requirements to cut Std Splashback covers and Std Backcovers for 250 cookers.
