Understanding routine maintenance and winterisation of laser cutting machines
With the progress of the times, the development of society. More and more customers around the world use laser cutting machines. Next, let's discuss how the laser cutting machine should be maintained in daily use. Especially the maintenance in winter. Winter maintenance of laser cutting machine mainly includes anti-freezing, cooling system maintenance, dust removal system maintenance, transmission system maintenance and environmental temperature control.
Anti-freezing
Winter temperatures are low, in order to prevent damage to the laser cutting machine caused by freezing, need to take anti-freezing measures. Specific methods include: when the laser cutting machine stops working, keep the water cooler running, so that the coolant has been in a circulating flow state, and adjust the conventional temperature to about 10 ℃; through the laser cutting machine's drain to empty the coolant in the various parts of the equipment, to ensure that there is no coolant in the entire water circulation cooling system; add antifreeze, but you need to choose a large brand of antifreeze, and in the end of the winter in a timely manner after the replacemen
Cooling system maintenance
Cooling water quality and water temperature directly affects the service life of the laser tube, it is recommended to use pure water or distilled water, and control the water temperature below 35 ℃. It is easy to form scale if the water is not changed for a long time, thus blocking the water circuit, so be sure to change the water regularly. It is also necessary to keep the water flowing freely at all times to carry away the heat generated by the laser tube.
Dust removal system maintenance
After a long time of use, the fan will accumulate a lot of dust inside, thus affecting the exhaust and odour removal effect, and also generating noise. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the fan regularly. After the machine has been working for some time, the surface of the lens will stick a layer of dust due to the working environment, which will reduce the reflectivity of the reflector lens and the transmittance of the lens, and affect the working power of the laser. This time to use degreasing cotton dipped in ethanol carefully along the middle of the lens to the edge of the rotary wipe, pay attention not to damage the surface coating .
Transmission system maintenance
Equipment for long-term cutting process will produce soot, fine soot will enter the equipment through the dust cover, thus attached to the top of the guide rail rack, long-term accumulation will increase the wear and tear of the guide rail rack. Therefore, we should do a good job of the guide rail, linear axis of the daily maintenance, regular dust cleaning, and in the rack on the grease, the guide rail lubrication with oil. Each bearing should also be oiled regularly to keep the drive flexible, accurate machining and prolong the service life of the machine tool.
Environmental temperature control
Ensure that the temperature of the working environment is suitable, and it is generally recommended that the temperature be controlled between 4-33℃. Attention should be paid to the prevention of equipment condensation in summer, and in winter, we should do a good job of anti-freezing of laser equipment.
The above is our laser cutting machine winter maintenance and daily use of some of the recommendations, I hope to help you.
