How to maintain fiber laser cutting machine

Laser cutting machine is an industrial equipment that uses high-energy laser beams to process workpieces. Under high-speed rotation, the laser beams are transmitted to the workpieces through optical fibers to form a thermal effect, which locally heats or melts the workpieces and deforms them, and cuts off excess materials. 

In the process of using the laser cutting machine, special attention should be paid to maintenance, otherwise it will affect the service life of the equipment.

So, how do we maintain a laser cutting machine?

Pay attention to cleanliness

The surface of the laser cutting machine should be kept clean without any stains, dust, oil stains, etc. After the equipment has been running for a period of time, you can gently wipe the dust and oil on the surface with a soft cloth.

Note: Do not wipe the machine with organic solvents (such as acetone, toluene, xylene, etc.) to avoid damage to the surface of the machine; do not clean the device with water or other liquids (such as alcohol) to avoid damage to the machine; try to avoid touching and operating the laser with hands Cutting machine, to prevent the laser short circuit and burning caused by excessive dust accumulation.

Use a suitable laser cutting machine.In the previous article, we have talked about how to choose a fiber laser cutting machine.

Regular maintenance of equipment

a. Check whether the laser cutting machine is faulty, and eliminate it in time;

b. Dedust the machine, dedust the laser and other components;

c. Operators who maintain the machine shall operate in strict accordance with the work instructions;

d. Regularly clean the nozzle of the laser cutting machine, so as not to affect the service life of the nozzle, and at the same time reduce the consumption of the cutting machine;

Timely replacement of consumables

Consumables for laser cutting machines, including laser beams, laser power supplies, lasers and optical lenses, etc. If it is not replaced in time, it will cause serious damage to the equipment.

At the same time, during use, keep the consumables clean to avoid damage to the laser and optical lenses.

Regular maintenance

Laser cutting machine is a precision instrument, its structure is very precise and complex, and it is very difficult to maintain.

There are certain rules to follow in the repair and maintenance of laser cutting machines. After a period of use, the equipment needs to be maintained and repaired accordingly.

Generally, the laser is maintained and maintained every six months to one year, and if any damage is found, it should be replaced or repaired in time;

If the laser cutting machine breaks down, check the cause and repair it in time;
