Pro-series includes 3 nozzle tips, with different diameter holes to provide flexibility for cut depth penetration and quality. These color coded tips are easily screwed on and off for different material laser cutting needs.
Improved cut quality on nonmetals, especially woods. Reduces charring by pushing smoke and debris down and away from the cut area.
Reduces cut width with focused air stream that pushes smoke and debris away so cutting process performs faster, thus reducing the heat affected area of the cut.
Saves time on cut parts clean-up. With less smoke and debris settling on the face, side, and bottom of the cut, clean-up time is reduced or eliminated.
The Pro-Series works well with autofocus. Simply unscrew the nozzle tip and back to engraving.
The Mahoney brand focus nozzle assembly fits the Epilog Laser Radius laser machine. Product package includes (1) Focus nozzle set; (2) Air hose

Click here for article on Laser cutting of different polymeric plastics (PE, PP and PC) by a CO 2 laser beam. The authors say, "In the nozzle employed for cutting plastics, the gas jet orifice has a 0.8 mm diameter. Its function is to discharge gas coaxially to the laser beam. The extremely small size of the orifice ensures a thin, punctiform and efficacious jet of gas that makes it possible to obtain the narrowest possible kerf width and, simultaneously, high operating speed thanks to the rapid removal of the molten material. The nozzle–sample distance was fixed at 1 mm, because at this distance it is possible to obtain an optimum gas jet convergence and pressure in the cutting channel."
Impractical for smaller machine laser engraving and cutting, however, the physics of laser cutting flow dynamics can be carried over from metals to plastics. In other words, failures in nice cuts on plastics can turn in to successes with the right nozzle and air pressure. See these metal cutter industry leaders with their automatic nozzle changers.
