Fiber laser cutting machines require frequent maintenance in summer
The fiber laser cutting machine cannot avoid daily maintenance, especially in the summer when the weather is dry and the equipment is prone to problems. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in heat dissipation and maintenance during summer work. Otherwise, the service life of the machine will be greatly shortened, which not only delays the work progress but also increases maintenance costs. As the temperature increases in summer, the working pressure of the cooling system of the laser cutting machine increases. It is recommended to check and maintain the internal snow pressure of the cooling machine before the high temperature arrives. The pressure of equipment from different manufacturers also varies. It is recommended to consult the equipment manufacturer for specific parameters before maintenance. Next, we will learn what measures should be taken for summer maintenance of the fiber laser cutting machine.
Maintenance Measures for Fiber Laser Cutting Machine in Summer
Measure 1: Change water frequently
Before operating the machine, ensure that the laser tube is filled with circulating water. The quality and temperature of the circulating water directly affect the service life of the laser tube. So it is necessary to regularly replace the circulating water and clean the water tank. Note: It is best to do it once a week.
Measure 2: Timely cleaning of lenses
There will be some mirrors and focusing mirrors on the machine. Laser is reflected and focused through these lenses before being emitted from the laser hair. Lenses are easily contaminated with dust or other pollutants, causing laser loss or lens damage. So clean the lenses every day.
When cleaning the lenses of the laser cutting machine, attention should be paid to:
1. The lens should be gently wiped to prevent damage to the surface coating;
2. The wiping process should be handled gently to prevent falling;
3. When installing the focusing mirror, please make sure to keep the concave side downwards.
Measure 3: Clean up scale
Due to the high temperature in summer, the deterioration rate of cooling water will also accelerate. It is recommended that laser cutting machine users use distilled water or pure water and regularly clean the scale to avoid adhering scale to the laser pipeline and affecting laser power. The methods for cleaning scale on different types of laser cutting machines are also different and require operation under the guidance of the manufacturer.
As the dust of the laser cutting machine is mainly metal powder, it is recommended to regularly clean the dust inside the control cabinet of the laser cutting machine and check the working condition of the cooling fan.
The climate characteristics of each season vary greatly. Laser cutting machines are processing and equipment that require high precision and are relatively expensive. Scientific and orderly maintenance based on climate characteristics can effectively avoid small problems in the laser cutting process and improve the service life of laser cutting machines. In addition to maintaining the laser cutting machine during the summer, we should also regularly carry out daily maintenance on the laser cutting machine.
