How to avoid summer heat with sheet metal fiber laser cutting machines
The high temperature in summer is unbearable, so is the laser cutting machine. Long term exposure to high temperatures not only causes inconvenience in the operation of sheet metal fiber laser cutting machines, but also affects their service life due to improper maintenance. In order to extend the service life of sheet metal fiber laser cutting machines, machine owners must do a good job of summer heat protection.
- Before the onset of high temperature, the internal pressure of the cooling machine should be checked and maintained. (Note: Different manufacturers have different equipment pressures. It is recommended to consult the manufacturer for specific parameters before maintenance.)
- Regularly clean the dust inside the gas cabinet of the laser cutting machine and check the working condition of the cooling fan.
- Distilled or pure water should be used as the coolant, and scale should be cleaned regularly to prevent scale from adhering to the laser and pipeline, which may affect the laser power. (Note: Different types of sheet metal fiber laser cutting machineshave different methods for cleaning scale. Please operate under the guidance of the equipment manufacturer.)
- Be careful not to have a significant difference between the cooling water temperature and the air temperature. It is generally recommended to set the water temperature to 30-32 degrees and control the temperature difference between the cooling water and room temperature to be greater than 7 degrees. The laser and optical lenses of the laser cutting machine both use water cooling method. Due to the condensation of water in the air when it encounters cold, it will form ice. When the temperature of the cooling water is too low, there will be water condensation on the surface of the laser and optical lenses, greatly affecting the output efficiency of the laser and the service life of the laser energy and optical accessories.
Regular maintenance of fiber sheet metal fiber laser cutting machines can not only save economic costs, but also increase their service life. Therefore, paying attention to the maintenance of fiber sheet metal fiber laser cutting machines in daily life can provide a good foundation for future use. With the arrival of summer, let’s prepare the laser cutting machine in advance to avoid the heat.
