In the world of laser welding, shielding gas plays a crucial role in ensuring weld quality, preventing oxidation, and improving the overall strength and appearance of the weld seam. Among various gas options, nitrogen has become increasingly popular for its effectiveness and affordability—especially for stainless steel and carbon steel applications.
However, many manufacturers still rely on bottled nitrogen, which comes with recurring costs, supply limitations, and logistical inconvenience. At Rayno Laser, we understand these challenges. That’s why we’ve introduced our latest innovation: a compact, efficient, and cost-effective nitrogen generator, specifically designed to work with our air-cooled and water-cooled handheld laser welding machines.
Why Nitrogen Matters in Laser Welding
Before diving into the solution, it’s important to understand the role of nitrogen in the welding process:
- Protects the weld seam from oxidation
- Improves bead appearance by reducing discoloration
- Prevents porosity and stabilizes the molten pool
- Reduces costs compared to argon or helium
While bottled nitrogen offers these benefits, its use becomes less practical as production scales. Frequent tank replacements, transportation costs, and pressure inconsistencies can lead to downtime and inefficiencies.
The Problem with Bottled Nitrogen
Many welding shops and factories using laser welding machines rely on cylinder-based nitrogen supply. However, this approach comes with a range of issues:
- ❌ High ongoing cost: Cylinder rentals and refills add up quickly.
- ❌ Limited supply: A sudden shortage of gas can interrupt production.
- ❌ Handling risks: Moving and replacing heavy cylinders is labor-intensive and can be hazardous.
- ❌ Pressure inconsistency: As tanks empty, flow rate and gas purity can fluctuate, affecting welding quality.
In industries where efficiency and consistency are key, bottled nitrogen becomes a bottleneck.
Introducing the Rayno Laser Nitrogen Generator – A Smarter Alternative
To solve these challenges, Rayno Laser now offers a portable nitrogen generator, engineered to deliver stable, on-demand nitrogen specifically for laser welding.
