With the popularization of fiber laser cutting machines, a large number of enterprises have joined the ranks of laser cutting machines. But as time went by, some companies gradually reported that the cutting performance and cutting ability of fiber laser cutting machines were not as good as before. What is the reason for this situation? The following analysis is hoped to be helpful to you.
Reasons for the decline in cutting performance of fiber laser cutting machines:
1. The focus position will affect the cutting speed. When cutting different materials and thicknesses, it is necessary to adjust the appropriate focus position.
2. The distance between the nozzle and the workpiece also affects the cutting effect. Distance too far can lead to energy waste, while distance too close can affect the dispersion of splashing cutting products. Generally, the appropriate distance is 0.8mm.
3. The laser of the fiber laser cutting machine will also experience certain power attenuation over time. When cutting, it is necessary to choose the appropriate power.
In addition, factors that affect the performance of laser cutting machines also include operational errors, long-term load production, lack of maintenance, and so on. So, how should we try to slow down the performance degradation of laser cutting machines?
1. Regular maintenance of equipment
The fiber laser cutting machine takes a long processing time, and many components will be damaged, which will inevitably affect the performance of the processing equipment. Therefore, maintenance is very important. For example, if the nozzle, protective lens, Filter (aquarium)#Materials suitable for aquarium filtration and other vulnerable and consumable parts have problems, they need to be replaced in time. Regular cleaning and maintenance are required for the bed, laser, chiller, fuel tank, etc. to maintain driving flexibility and dimensional accuracy.
2. Standardize the operation of fiber laser cutting machines.
The fiber laser cutting machine should be operated by a dedicated person. Before starting work, professional personnel should provide training, as proficient operation is crucial. Operators need to be familiar with the sequence and process of equipment startup, familiar with each switch panel button, and correctly operate fiber laser cutting machines. Specialized operation is not only beneficial for the normal operation of the fiber laser cutting machine, but also reduces the probability of safety accidents.
