A BOCI laser bevel cutting nozzle is a consumable fitted to a compatible laser cutting head while the machine cuts an angled edge, or bevel, rather than a straight 90-degree edge. The nozzle helps direct assist gas toward the cutting area and supports the cutting process; it does not create the bevel by itself. The machine’s cutting head, motion system, and programmed cutting path produce the required angle. A bevel nozzle is therefore relevant when a part needs an angled edge for joining, assembly, or a specified profile, provided the nozzle matches the laser head and process.
In a laser cutting system, the nozzle sits at the end of the cutting head, around the beam path. It helps guide assist gas toward the kerf—the narrow cut made through the workpiece—and helps maintain a controlled cutting zone. During bevel cutting, the head is tilted or otherwise follows an angled cutting path, so the nozzle must be suitable for that setup and maintain the required clearance from the workpiece.
The term “BOCI” identifies the laser head or equipment compatibility being considered; it does not by itself define one universal nozzle specification. BOCI-compatible heads and nozzle configurations can differ, so buyers should verify the exact head model, connection, nozzle form, and dimensions before purchase. A part that looks similar may not fit or perform as required.
A bevel changes the edge geometry of a part. In metal fabrication, an angled edge can help prepare components for a weld joint or meet a drawing’s specified profile. The required geometry varies by design: for instance, 30° and 45° are two possible bevel-angle examples, not guaranteed settings or product specifications for every BOCI system.
Bevel cutting may also be used for shaped edges in fabricated assemblies. Whether it is suitable depends on the material, thickness, machine capability, and required edge quality. If a drawing calls for a precise bevel, treat the drawing and the machine maker’s process guidance—not a general nozzle description—as the controlling specifications.
The nozzle helps direct assist gas toward the cutting zone. Depending on the process, gas can help remove molten material from the kerf and influence the cut. The appropriate gas, pressure, nozzle, and laser parameters depend on the material and machine setup, so there is no single setting that should be assumed for all bevel work.
When the cutting head is inclined, the nozzle’s position relative to the workpiece changes. The operator or programmer must account for this geometry so the nozzle can follow the path without unwanted contact and the gas can reach the cutting area. The nozzle is one part of a wider system that includes the cutting head, motion control, focusing optics, gas supply, and cutting program.
The bevel angle and edge profile are determined by the programmed head orientation and cutting path. A nozzle cannot compensate for an unsuitable machine, incorrect setup, or a mismatch between the job and the cutting head’s capabilities. For this reason, buyers should discuss the intended bevel geometry with their equipment supplier before selecting a consumable.
Typical use is in laser cutting operations that require angled edges rather than only square cuts. A fabrication shop may consider bevel cutting when preparing metal parts for joining or when a component drawing specifies a sloped edge. It can also be relevant to custom metal parts used in product housings, frames, brackets, or decorative panels.

For businesses making other pet products, the need depends on the product and its construction. A bevel-cut metal bracket, frame, or enclosure component may be relevant to a particular design, but many pet products do not require laser bevel cutting at all. Confirm that the part material, production method, and edge requirement justify bevel processing before sourcing a specialized nozzle.
Do not select a nozzle based only on the words “BOCI bevel nozzle.” Ask the supplier to confirm compatibility with the exact cutting-head model and application. If you have an existing nozzle, sharing its identification details and clear photos can help the supplier compare the required form and dimensions.
| Specification or detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Laser head model and nozzle connection | Confirms whether the nozzle can be fitted to the intended equipment. |
| Nozzle shape and opening | Affects fit and the delivery of assist gas to the cutting zone. |
| Material and workpiece thickness | Helps the supplier understand the process and operating requirements. |
| Bevel angle and edge profile | Connects the nozzle inquiry to the actual geometry required by the drawing. |
| Material, finish, and replacement needs | Supports a practical comparison of consumable options and purchasing plans. |
Dimensions should be confirmed against the machine or a verified drawing. For example, a 1.5 mm opening may appear on a particular nozzle specification, but that figure is only an illustration of how an aperture could be stated; it is not a universal BOCI bevel-nozzle size or a recommendation. Likewise, do not assume that a nozzle intended for straight cutting is suitable for an angled setup without checking with the equipment supplier.
Record the laser head model, nozzle interface, and any identifying marks on the existing consumable. Confirm whether the head and machine support the desired bevel operation, including the required movement and clearance. If the head model is unclear, provide the supplier with equipment details and photographs rather than relying on appearance alone.
Share the material, thickness, assist gas, expected production conditions, and the bevel geometry shown on the drawing. A supplier can use this information to check whether the requested nozzle form is appropriate for the setup. Where the cutting parameters are not established, request guidance from the machine or process provider instead of applying assumed values.
For repeat purchasing, confirm the part identification method, packaging, order quantity, availability, and lead time before placing an order. If you are comparing suppliers, ask how they verify fit and what information they need to identify a compatible replacement. These checks can reduce the risk of receiving a nozzle that cannot be used with the intended head.
A BOCI laser bevel cutting nozzle is used as a compatible cutting-head consumable to support assist-gas delivery when a laser machine produces angled edges. It does not independently generate the bevel; the machine’s head movement and cutting program determine the edge geometry. The nozzle is worth considering when your part drawing calls for an angled cut and your equipment supports the required process.
Before requesting a quotation, prepare the laser head model, existing nozzle details, material and thickness, and the required bevel profile. QIRUI LASER can help buyers identify suitable nozzle options and discuss supply requirements based on those details. Contact our team with your application and compatibility information so we can review the appropriate next step.
