Daily maintenance of laser cutting machines is essential to ensure equipment performance and extend service life. Here are some basic daily maintenance steps:
1. Replacement of circulating water and cleaning of water tank:
- Make sure the laser tube is full of circulating water, because water quality and water temperature directly affect the service life of the laser tube.
- Regularly replace the circulating water and clean the water tank, it is recommended to do it once a week.
2. Protect the cleaning of the lens:
- The reflector and focusing lens on the machine need to be kept clean, because dust or other contaminants will affect the reflection and focusing of the laser, causing loss or damage.
- Clean the lens every day, be careful to handle it with care to prevent it from falling, and keep the coating from being damaged.
3. Cleaning of guide rails:
- Guide rails and linear axes are the core components of the equipment, responsible for guiding and supporting.
- Clean the guide rails regularly to remove corrosive dust and smoke, it is recommended to clean it once every half a month.
4. Tightening of screws and couplings:
- After the motion system has been working for a period of time, the screws and couplings may loosen, affecting the smoothness of the mechanical movement.
- Check the transmission parts regularly for abnormal noise or abnormal phenomena, and tighten and maintain them in time.
5. Check the optical path:
- The optical path system is completed by the reflection of the reflector and the focusing of the focusing mirror. Check whether the optical path is normal before each work.
- Regularly check the lubrication of the X, Y, and Z axis guide rails and lead screws to keep the moving parts lubricated.
6. Cleaning of optical lenses:
- Check the contamination of the reflector and focusing mirror surfaces irregularly (at least once a month) depending on the workshop environment, and clean them in time.
7. Maintenance of the exhaust system:
- Regularly clean the debris at the exhaust port to ensure the exhaust effect.
8. Gas path inspection:
- Regularly check the filter in the gas path and remove the accumulated water and debris in the filter in time.
9. Check the screws of the travel switch bracket and the bumper bracket:
- Regularly check whether they are loose and tighten them in time.
10. Electrical cabinet maintenance:
- Clean the dust on the ventilation fan filter of the electrical cabinet in time to ensure good ventilation to facilitate the heat dissipation of internal electrical components.
Following these daily maintenance steps can help maintain the optimal performance of the laser cutting machine and prevent possible failures.
