Laser cutting common problems and solutions
Laser cutting machine has achieved great success in the field of carbon steel processing due to its excellent performance such as high speed, high efficiency, high quality, high profit and quantitative application. However, due to the lack of understanding of laser cutting machine, many users may encounter various problems in the process of using it, which affect the normal operation and cutting quality of laser cutting machine. Here we will analyse the following three common problems and the corresponding solutions.
Burrs on the processed parts when laser cutting carbon steel
- Generally speaking, burrs may appear on the processed parts, and the possible reasons include:
(1) Deviation in the laser focus position, the focus position should be tested and adjusted according to the displacement of the laser focus;
(2) Insufficient laser output power. It is necessary to check if the laser generator is working properly. If normal, please observe whether the output value of the laser control button is correct? If incorrect, adjust accordingly;
(3) Cutting line speed is too slow, it is necessary to increase the line speed during operation control;
(4) Cutting gas purity is not enough, need to provide high quality cutting working gas;
(5) The machine has been running for a long time, resulting in instability, need to stop and restart.
- Laser incomplete cutting
Reasons for incomplete laser cutting:
(1) The selection of laser nozzle does not match the thickness of the processing plate, replace the nozzle or processing plate;
(2) The laser cutting line speed is too fast, and operation control is needed to reduce the line speed.
- Abnormal sparks occur when cutting low-carbon steel
When cutting low-carbon steel normally, the spark beam is long, flat, and has fewer forks. The occurrence of abnormal sparks can affect the machining of the workpiece
The smoothness and processing quality of the cutting section.
In the case where all other parameters are normal, the following situations should be considered:
(1) The laser head nozzle is severely damaged and should be replaced in a timely manner;
(2) In the absence of new nozzle replacement, the cutting working gas pressure should be increased;
(3) If the thread at the connection between the nozzle and the laser head is loose, cutting should be stopped immediately to check the connection status of the laser head,Re thread
