2.3 Plumbing – Water Cooling /
Assist Gas / Purge Gas
All lines must be suitable for robotic
applications and are supplied by the
integrator.
See Figure 6 for line locations.
 The water cooling lines require 6mm
OD hoses. Cooling specifications are in
Appendix A.
 Assist gas recommendations:
o A proportional gas valve placed
within 8 feet (2.5 meters) of the
FiberCUT
®
head.
o 8mm OD hose between the
proportional valve and the
FiberCUT
®
head. The cutting head
includes a short flexible hose. Do
not remove the hose unless you
replace it with an equivalent unit.
o When the gas source is less than
25 feet (7.5 meters) away from the
FiberCUT
®
head, route 8 mm OD
hose between the gas source and
the proportional vale.
o When the gas source is over 25
feet (7.5 meters) away from the
FiberCUT
®
head, route 3/8 inch OD
(minimum) hose between the gas
source and the proportional valve.
o Specifications for assist gas are in
Appendix B.
o The assist gas line must be rated
higher than the maximum expected
pressure.
o For systems that use oxygen (O
2
),
verify that valves, fittings, and
hoses are compatible.
 The purge gas line requires 6mm OD
hose. The cutting head includes a
particle filter and two short flexible
hoses. Do not remove the filter and
hoses unless you replace them with
equivalent units. Specifications for
purge gas are in Appendix C.
