Cutting Residue Cutting residue refers to the residual material waste, particles, and debris generated during the laser cutting or engraving process as the laser beam interacts with the material surface. Cutting residue may include dust, smoke, fumes, and leftover material fragments that accumulate on the cutting bed, surrounding workspace, and laser system components.
Effective removal and management of cutting residue are essential for maintaining cutting quality, preventing re-deposition of debris onto the material surface, and ensuring clean, precise cutting edges. Various methods, such as extraction systems, filtration units, and exhaust ventilation, help capture and remove cutting residue, minimizing environmental impact and ensuring operator safety. |
