In the process of using the laser cutting machine, with the extension of the use time, you may find that the cutting speed of the equipment is not as fast as before, and the cutting quality is not as good as before. This is a common problem with almost all devices, it just varies the length of time to maintain performance.
So why does the cutting speed slow down? First, the requirements of the operation process cannot be met, which basically does not exist among users who have used the laser cutting machine for a few years. Second, the output power of the fiber laser source is attenuated.
If we compare the whole fiber laser cutting machine to the human body, then the fiber laser source is the heart. In the same way, with the increase of age, the function of the human heart will gradually decline. People need a reasonable diet, a positive attitude, and regular exercise to slow down the aging of the heart. And in the process of using the fiber laser cutting machine, it is also necessary to pay attention to the maintenance of the laser source, and try to avoid long-term non-stop operation.
So, how to extend the service life of fiber laser source?
1. If this problem occurs soon after the equipment is in operation, the first consideration is that there is a problem with the fiber laser source, and it is necessary to contact the manufacturer for repair.
2. Maintenance of fiber lasers. The fiber laser source is divided into two parts: the outer optical path and the inner optical path. Generally, the inner optical path is in a sealed state and does not require maintenance, and the main maintenance work is for the outer optical path. The cutting environment greatly affects the operation of the external optical system. In an environment with serious dust pollution, large particles and smog in the air, the external optical path system is easily polluted, so it is very important to ensure the cleanliness of the processing site environment. At the same time, the purity and quality of the auxiliary gas should also be guaranteed. Finally, the circulating water of the chiller needs to be changed and kept clean to avoid contamination.
3. Try to avoid operating the equipment for a long time without stopping. Like the human heart, if the device is in a high-speed operation 24 hours a day, the phenomenon of “overdrawn physical strength” will occur. Therefore, if conditions permit, shut down the equipment every day and let the equipment rest for a few hours to prolong the service life of the fiber laser source and equipment.
