How to maintain the guide rail of a laser engraving machine

There are two steps to pay attention to when maintaining the guide rail of a laser engraving machine:

1. Firstly, it is necessary to turn off the power of the laser engraving machine and use an Allen wrench to remove the lenses on the slider. When removing the lenses, be careful and protect them. After removing the lens, expose the four hexagons and remove them separately. At this time, the slider and the belt are separated. Then, fold the fixed nails on the linear guide rail and place them in reverse direction to expose the connection between the slider and the guide rail. If the slider is short of oil, you will see that the ball is shiny at this point. When applying oil, squeeze out a bit of lubricating oil from the needle tube, use a wooden toothpick to add oil to the gap, and then add oil in sequence with the rolling slider, Try to keep the lubricating oil on every ball as much as possible;

2. After oiling, do not rush to fix it. First, let the slider roll back and forth on the guide rail. At this time, it is necessary to install the guide rail first. Pay attention not to fix it first when installing the guide rail, but to install all the fixing nails and keep them level. Then, fix the belt and slider. Finally, install the laser engraving machine lens and adjust the direction of X.

By following the above two steps, it is easy to apply lubricating oil to the slider of the laser engraving machine.
