How to prevent the laser cutting machine from freezing in winter?

The harsh winter is coming. As the national temperature gradually decreases, your laser cutting equipment needs to be kept warm and antifreeze added to prevent freezing to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. The winter weather is cold, so we need to master the antifreeze operation of the optical fiber laser cutting machine. This is everyone’s introduction.
If the laser cutting machine is not used for a long time, as long as the cooling water is poured into the place, especially the cooling water in the laser cavity and pipe, it must be thoroughly cleaned. It is recommended to open the laser cutting machine 24 hours a day to ensure the internal circulation of cooling water.
We must pay attention to the following three aspects:
1. Since the laser cutting machine uses water as the cooling medium, the working temperature of the laser should be higher than 5 ° C.
2. In winter, if there is no heating in the workshop, or the ambient temperature may be lower than 5 ℃. If the laser does not work at night or on weekends, the machine can still be turned on. In this way, the cooling water is still circulating and will not freeze.
3. If your factory or workshop is on vacation for a long time and the machine cannot run. Please pay attention to the winter heat treatment of the machine. Please ensure that all water in the cooler, laser, cutting head, lens and water is drained to prevent icing and damaging the machine.
Liquids have “freezing points”. When the liquid temperature is lower than this “freezing point” temperature, it will solidify to form a solid, while deionized water or purified water will solidify during solidification, which will “destroy” the pipe seal of the water cooling system.
The above is related to the antifreeze technical operation of the metal fiber laser cutting machine in winter. We must pay attention to relevant common sense. Only when we are familiar with the operation of antifreeze technology can we better maintain our laser cutting equipment. If you want to know more about the machine, please contact us.
