How to Maintain the Laser Cutting Machine in the Summer?

Summer brings with it high temperatures and increased humidity, which can have a significant impact on the performance and longevity of your laser cutting machine. To ensure optimal functionality and prevent any potential issues, it is crucial to implement proper maintenance during the summer months.

The summer temperature is very high, generally we need to be very careful no matter what kind of equipment you use, because summer is a high incidence of accidents. Especially in the use of laser cutting machine there are many things to pay attention to, and in the maintenance of the time, and not as simple as you think, so in the summer in the end should be how to use the laser cutting machine maintenance it? Today IGOLDEN laser cutting machine manufacturers to share with you.

In May, most Chinese cities began to heat up and enter the summer. The rise in residential electricity consumption is bound to have an impact on industrial electricity consumption. In many areas, the frequency of power outages is also gradually increasing. And how to ensure that industrial and mining enterprises laser cutting machine in the summer power switch during the high temperature period can be normal use and maintenance work? The following technical department will answer your questions:

First of all, the focus is on the user to buy a laser cutting machine and understand the function of the CNC system. Now on the market, many so-called independent research and development system of the company, its CNC system function is very imperfect. My company produces CNC system after decades of market testing, the system is constantly upgraded. The performance in all aspects is excellent, and all aspects of the design are from the interest of users! One of the power protection function is a very practical feature of the system. When a factory encounters a power failure while using our laser cutting machine, the laser cutting machine can save the cutting graphics intact and can cut directly at the cut when power is applied. This effectively saves the plate and energy, eliminates the need for repeated cutting, and improves efficiency and reduces costs for business users.

As the laser cutting machine is mainly used for thin plate cutting process, the cutting method mainly uses plasma cutting. In the previous relevant documents, we have some description of the conditions of plasma cutting methods according to various pollution hazards, for the use of laser cutting machine, the operator’s point of view, to reduce pollution caused by the use of equipment and harm to human health, should be from the following aspects of the operational details.

The laser cutting machine arc burns

Although the cutting thickness of the desktop CNC cutting machine is not very large, and the relative plasma power supply is mainly small and medium-sized power supply, but in the actual processing and production, there is still an inevitable arc burning injury, improper protection can also lead to electro-optic ophthalmia. Therefore, it is important to take appropriate protective measures according to the different operating methods.

To prevent high temperature metal or arc burns in normal operation

The skin should not be directly exposed to the arc light to prevent arc light burns. In addition, when performing air plasma cutting, high temperature slag or molten metal sputtering may be formed within a certain cutting range. These high-temperature substances not only burn the skin, but also may cause accidents such as burns. Therefore, when operating fiber laser cutting machine, pay attention to the distance between the operator and the equipment, it is recommended that non-operators do not enter the equipment operating area. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to touch the slit, strip or wire in the high temperature condition during operation.

Maintain a Suitable Environment: Ensure that the room where your laser cutting machine is located is properly ventilated and air-conditioned. High temperatures can negatively affect the performance of the machine and its components. Keep the temperature within the recommended range specified by the manufacturer.

Monitor the Cooling System: Check the cooling system of your laser cutting machine regularly. Clean the filters and ensure that the coolant levels are adequate. In hot weather, the cooling system may need to work harder to maintain optimal temperatures, so it’s essential to keep it in good condition.

Regular Cleaning: Clean the exterior of your laser cutting machine regularly to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and mild cleaning agents recommended by the manufacturer. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the machine. Inspect and Clean Optics: Inspect and clean the optics of your laser cutting machine frequently. Dust and debris on the optics can affect the quality of the laser beam and compromise the accuracy of the cuts. Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning the optics and use appropriate cleaning solutions and tools.

Check and Lubricate Moving Parts: Check the moving parts of your laser cutting machine, such as rails and bearings, for any signs of wear or damage. Lubricate them as recommended by the manufacturer to ensure smooth operation. Be cautious not to over-lubricate, as excess lubrication can attract dust and debris. Inspect Belts and Pulleys: Examine the belts and pulleys of your laser cutting machine for any signs of wear or misalignment. Replace any worn-out belts and adjust the pulleys if necessary. Properly tensioned belts and aligned pulleys are essential for accurate and consistent cuts.

Conclusion

Proper maintenance of your laser cutting machine during the summer is crucial for its optimal performance and longevity. By controlling the temperature and humidity, regularly cleaning and inspecting the machine, ensuring a stable power supply, and prioritizing operator training and safety, you can minimize the risk of issues and maximize the efficiency of your laser cutting operations. Remember to always refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines and consult with professionals if needed. With proper care, your laser cutting machine will continue to deliver exceptional results even during the hottest summer months.
