Tips for prolonging the service life of laser cutting machine

The price of laser cutting machine is not low, ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions. Therefore, it is very important to prolong the service life of the laser cutting machine as much as possible to save production costs. So how to prolong the service life of laser cutting machine?
First of all, when the cutting machine is required for work, we should first push the beam before starting the machine, and try to move it forward and backward. Only when it moves left and right without abnormal noise, can it be powered on. After finishing the work of the day, clean the materials and waste residue produced in the machine on the day. This can protect the machine motion system from being damaged by foreign objects. Clean its moving parts to keep the machine in good working condition. The specific methods are as follows:
1. Inject a little lubricating oil on the screws, including the screws on the laser tube support and the first reflector, to facilitate the disassembly and assembly during maintenance. Note: Do not add lubricating oil to synchronous belt, drag chain, air pipe, motor, sensor, lens and wire.
2. No articles can be placed in the machine to avoid unnecessary damage to the machine.
3. Clean the dust and foreign matters on the metal oil tanker, metal shaft, sliding block and linear guide rail with cotton cloth, then add lubricating oil, and carry out idling reciprocating movement.
Daily maintenance of laser cutting machine:
1. Replacement of circulating water and cleaning of water tank: Make sure that the laser tube is full of circulating water before the machine works. The quality and temperature of the circulating water directly affect the service life of the laser tube. Therefore, the circulating water shall be replaced regularly and the water tank shall be cleaned. It is better to have it once a week.
2. Fan cleaning: The fan in the machine will accumulate a lot of solid dust in the fan after being used for a long time, which will make the fan produce a lot of noise and is not conducive to exhaust and deodorization. When the suction of the fan is insufficient and the smoke is not smooth, the fan should be cleaned.
3. Lens cleaning: there will be some reflectors and focusing mirrors on the machine. The laser is reflected and focused by these lenses and then emitted from the laser hair. The lens is easy to be stained with dust or other pollutants, causing laser loss or lens damage. So clean the lenses every day. Pay attention to:
a. The lens shall be wiped gently without damaging the surface coating;
b. The wiping process shall be handled with care to prevent falling;
c. When installing the focusing mirror, be sure to keep the concave side downward.
Although the laser cutting machine is widely used, its main direction is metal cutting, and it can cut quickly. Therefore, the cutting pattern is very accurate. It not only improves the artistic taste and technical content of sheet metal processing, but also improves the profit margin. Therefore, workers must carry out some training before operation, cherish and standardize the operation when using, so that the equipment can better serve everyone.
