Slat Care Liquid Reduces Slag Adhesion on Laser Cutting Slats
Slag that builds up on the edges of laser cutting machine support slats can impair the quality and cleanliness of cut parts. Trumpf's Slat Care Liquid is a spray-on treatment for new or cleaned slats that reduces slag formation and prevents it from bonding to the slat edges. The result is less build-up on the cutting bed and faster slat cleaning.
The slat care liquid is designed for use with Trumpf's TruTool TSC 100 and TSC 200 slat cleaners. Trumpf recommends the TSC 100 for standard slag on CO2 and solid-state 2D laser cutting systems below 10 kW. The TSC 200 is intended for medium- to high-power CO2 and solid-state laser cutting systems above 6 kW, and for hard slag on high-power fiber lasers.
To clean the cutting bed, the operator places the selected tool on a slat, switches it on, and guides it across the row with light pressure. The operator then pulls the tool back, moves it to the next row of slats, and repeats the process. The application takes a few minutes and leaves a thin protective film that acts as a barrier between the slat and the slag.
