Abstract: An automated laser system with an 8-kW quantum generator with the beam quality not worse than that of a single-mode laser is described. The possibility of using such a system in procurement production for cutting carbon and stainless steel sheets is demonstrated. The quality control of the blank material shows that the properties of the latter satisfy appropriate standards.

Keywords: industrial gas lasers, self-filtered resonators, gas-laser cutting of metal sheets, technological parameters, structure and properties of blanks.
