This matrix has 35 rows transcribed from one Demark-published 14 April 2022 Raycus RFL-C3000S chart: carbon steel at 1, 2 (two different gas setups), 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20 mm; stainless steel at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10 mm; aluminum alloy at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 mm; and brass at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 mm. Thickness, focus and height are mm; power is W; feed is m/min; assist pressure is bar. For example, the two carbon-steel 2 mm rows show 3,000 W/air/20 m/min/10 bar and 1,200 W/oxygen/4 m/min/1.6 bar; these are separate historical examples, not equivalent choices. Filter exact material, thickness and gas, and do not interpolate. The chart does not identify material grade, assembled head, gas purity, or focus datum. The cited publisher page returned HTTP 403 on 2026-11-05, so the transcription still needs source/OEM confirmation. None of these rows is an approved production setting or universal gas recommendation.
Transcription reviewed 2026-11-02. Historical document examples only. The publisher does not identify material grades, the assembled machine/head, gas purity, focus datum, or the meaning of nozzle suffixes. Do not treat these rows as approved settings.
Input
Choose material and thickness, thickness, gas, power context, and required edge quality. A grade-specific recommendation is unavailable because the source does not identify grade.
Lookup
Filter source-labeled rows and keep the machine or shop record attached to the assumption.
Output
Carry the selected material and gas assumptions into a quote, time estimate, or test-cut record.
Sources and scope
Content reviewed 2026-11-02. A documentation reference supports the stated method or data only; it does not approve settings on another machine.
- Demark: Raycus RFL-C3000S laser cutting parameters (14 April 2022)
Historical chart published by Demark and attributed to Raycus RFL-C3000S. The stated source is single-module RFL-C3000S, 50 µm core, 100 mm collimation and 150 mm focus. Material grade, assembled machine/head model, gas purity, nozzle S/D definitions and focus sign datum are not provided. These are document examples, not validated production settings.
How to use this reference
- Match the drawing material and thickness to the closest row; preserve the exact grade in the quote record.
- Confirm gas, nozzle, focus, and feed against the current machine chart or a timed sample cut.
- Record the approved source and confidence, then move the assumption into the calculator below.
