Cleaning and maintenance tips for laser cutting heads


With its excellent cutting performance, the fibre laser cutting machine is popular in the sheet metal industry as it far surpasses traditional processing methods in terms of efficiency and stability. As one of the core components of a fibre laser cutting machine, the laser cutting head is a laser output device consisting of a nozzle, a focusing lens and a focusing and tracking system. In order to ensure the proper functioning of the fibre laser cutting machine, cleaning and maintenance of the laser head is an indispensable step in the use and maintenance. Follow Gold Mark to learn about the daily cleaning and maintenance steps of the cutting head of a fibre laser cutting machine.

Cleaning and maintenance tips for laser cutting heads

1.centring screw

The laser can be adjusted at the centre point of the nozzle. For the adjustment method, a transparent adhesive can be applied to the light coming out of the nozzle and then the transparent adhesive can be removed by pressing on that point. (If the light is not in the centre, the cut will not be stable and the cut will have burrs.)

2.Z-axis dust cover

After loosening the lower screw, the Z-axis can be oiled and lubricated.

3.Z-axis upper limit action

With the drive open, the cutting head limit block will return to the upper limit.

4.Z-axis lower limit

As the cutting head limit block approaches the lower limit, it will quickly return to the upper limit and return to the set position.

5.Focus screw

Select the appropriate focus position depending on the thickness of the material and the type of cutting gas.

6.Protective goggle drawer

Contains goggles and seals. Check the goggles and wipe them clean every day before switching on the machine. The seals must be replaced every three months.

Maintenance instructions.

Clean the lens with isopropyl alcohol or analytical alcohol. Take care to wear finger covers when holding the lens. Hold both sides of the lens and wipe from side to side with a cotton swab.

Tip.

Loss of the cutting head seal will cause erratic cutting and large variations in the capacitance value of the cutting head when cutting, and in severe cases it will not work.

These random errors cannot be avoided and can only be reduced by online inspection and control, thus improving the accuracy of the fibre laser cutting machine.
