How to Choose the Best Fiber Laser Cutting Machine in Detail

Part 1: What Is A Siber Laser Cutting Machine?

A fiber laser cutting machine is a laser emitted from the laser, through the optical path system, focused on a high power density laser beam. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the workpiece, causing the piece to reach its melting or boiling point, while a high-pressure gas coaxial to the beam blows the molten or vaporized metal away. With the relative position of the beam and the workpiece moving, the material is eventually cut to form a slit, thus achieving the purpose of cutting.

Part 8: The maintenance of fiber laser cutting machine

To ensure the normal use of laser cutting machines, the equipment needs routine care and maintenance. By mastering the operating essentials of the equipment, you can easily cut the workpiece effect you want and extend the life of the fiber laser cutting machine. Here are some tips for daily use and maintenance.

Firstly, the laser is the core equipment in the laser cutting machine, which provides the cutting light source for the laser cutting machine. For your laser cutting machine to work properly and with high quality, to ensure the reliable operation of your laser, and to extend the life of the laser, you are reminded to regularly check and maintain your laser. The fiber laser can basically do maintenance-free, besides, to ensure that the surrounding clean, the main daily observation of the cooling water is normal, the voltage is normal

Secondly, pay attention to the maintenance and care of the lenses. Focusing mirror, protective mirror, QBH head, and other optical surfaces, do not touch directly with your hands to prevent scratching or corrosion of the mirror surface. The optical lens surface is strictly prohibited to use water, detergent, and another cleaning. The surface of the lens is coated with a special film, and using these to clean the lens will damage the surface of the lens. Do not leave the lenses in a dark and humid place, as this will deteriorate the surface of the lenses. Do not use too much pressure when installing or replacing reflectors, focusing mirrors, and protective mirrors, as this may cause deformation of the lenses and affect the quality of the light beam.

Thirdly, we must pay attention to the maintenance of the machine tool. Before putting the machine into operation, the machine must be carefully lubricated according to the lubrication instructions. Professional lubrication with the most suitable lubricant is a prerequisite for maintaining the quality of the machine tool so that operational failures and their consequences can be avoided. If the machine has not been used for a long period of time (e.g. for ocean transportation), the lubrication of the entire machine must be checked. Also, when the machine is parked for a long time without use, please grease the moving parts of the machine, wrapped in anti-embroidery paper, for other parts to regularly check whether there is rust, and rusty parts for rust removal, anti-rust treatment (such as the conditions can be in addition to the dust cover), and to regularly clean the machine, check.

 

FAQs

1. How do you clean a fiber laser cutting machine?

For equipment that requires very high cutting accuracy like metal laser cutting machines, every small factor may lead to undesirable results. In the long-term daily use, we not only need to maintain the metal laser cutting machine but also do a good job of dust removal. So how can we remove dust quickly and efficiently? You must master these dust removal methods!

There are three parts which need to be cleaned.

1. Condenser cleaning

For the metal laser cutting machine system, the best state of cooling capacity is to use a condenser for cooling, which can instantly cool down the temperature of the processed material and equipment. The method of cleaning the dust on it is to remove the filters on both sides, clean it with detergent, then dry it again and rinse it.

2. Filter cleaning

Listening to the name of the filter, you know that it is used to filter the waste generated by the metal laser cutting machine equipment. To clean it, you need to remove it, and then clean and replace the filter element.

3. Cleaning of the dust screen

Dust filter, in terms of metal laser cutting machine equipment processing, there will be a device to prevent dust, that is, dust filter. For its cleaning plan, an air spray gun is used to perform a preliminary cleaning of the dust on the dust screen, and then a neutral detergent is used to clean it. Remember that it must be neutral, otherwise, it will easily chemically react and cause corrosion.

The above are the three methods for high-efficiency dust removal of metal laser cutting machines. Only by doing a good job of dust removal can the metal laser cutting machine run smoothly, so we should pay attention to it!

2. How to judge whether the operation of a fiber laser cutting machine?

Smooth cutting, no streaks, no brittle fracture

When the fiber laser cutting machine cuts the steel template at high speed, a pattern is formed on the cutting edge.

The slit has good verticality and a small heat-affected zone

No material burning, no melting layer formation, no slag

The slag on the fiber laser cutting machine is mainly reflected in the deposition and section burrs. The deposition of the material is because the laser cutting encounters a special oily liquid on the surface of the workpiece before melting and perforating. Vaporization and various materials do not require customers to blow out the incision, but upward or downward will also form deposits on the surface. The formation of burrs determines the quality of laser cutting because removing burrs requires extra work, so the severity and quantity of burrs can intuitively judge the cutting quality.

Coarse plating of the cutting surface, surface roughness is the key to measuring the quality of laser cutting surface

In fact, for fiber laser cutting machines, the shape of the cutting section is directly related to the roughness, and the poor cutting performance of the section will directly lead to high roughness. However, considering the different reasons for these two different effects, generally, the fiber laser. The processing quality of the cutting machine is analyzed. The laser-cut section will form a vertical pattern. The depth of the grain determines the roughness of the cut surface. The shallower the grain, the smoother the cut section. Roughness affects not only the appearance of the edges but also the friction characteristics. In most cases, the roughness must be reduced as much as possible, so the shallower the grain, the higher the cut quality.

 

3. What is an optical fiber laser cutting machine?

An optical fiber laser cutting machine is a laser cutting machine that uses a fiber laser generator as the light source.

Optical fiber laser cutting machine is a new international development of a new fiber laser output high energy density laser beam and gathered on the surface of the workpiece so that the area on the workpiece irradiated by the ultra-fine focus spot instantly melted and vaporized, which through the CNC mechanical system to move the spot irradiation position and achieve automatic cutting. It has obvious advantages compared with bulky gas lasers and solid-state lasers and has gradually developed into an important candidate in high-precision laser processing, LIDAR systems, space technology, laser medicine, and other fields.
