Raytools FIBER Laser cutting heads

The Raytools head is the central element of the cutting process: it maintains the correct distance from the material, shapes the assist-gas flow and protects the optical path from contamination. The integrated capacitive sensor with autofocus function stabilises piercing and kerf guidance, ensuring efficient beam power use and consistent geometry from the first to the last part. The optimised nozzle chamber and dedicated protective lenses minimise dust buildup and spatter effects, helping maintain constant optical transmission and a smooth, clean edge with minimal rework.

In daily operation, easy service access is crucial. Raytools heads allow quick replacement of protective lenses and nozzles, while clearly marked adjustment points simplify setup for different materials and thicknesses. Correct configuration of height, nozzle type and cutting-gas parameters directly affects optical-arc stability during piercing, reducing burn marks and keeping kerf width under control.

When choosing a cutting head, check compatibility with FIBER source power, nozzle types and protective-glass diameter, as well as machine conditions (fume extraction, cooling, compressed-air cleanliness). Regular inspection of lenses and nozzles, gas-flow channels and mounting sockets extends optical life and maintains process quality. A properly selected and maintained Raytools head allows full utilisation of the machine’s dynamics, ensuring clean edges, consistent parameters and predictable long-term running costs.
