Common problems encountered in the use of laser cutting machines?

Laser cutting machines are widely used in metal processing, electronic manufacturing, advertising decoration and other industries due to their high efficiency, precision and flexibility. However, in actual operation, laser cutting machines may encounter some problems that affect their normal working efficiency and cutting quality. 

This article will introduce in detail the common problems that may be encountered during the use of laser cutting machines and their solutions to help users better maintain and operate the equipment.

1. Cutting speed is too fast or too slow;

This may result in poor cutting quality, uneven edges or incomplete cutting. The laser cutting speed needs to be adjusted to obtain the best cutting effect.

2. Contamination of focusing mirror or reflector;

Contamination of focusing mirror or reflector may affect the focusing and reflection of the laser beam, resulting in a decrease in cutting effect. Therefore, users need to clean the focusing mirror and reflector regularly to ensure that their surfaces are clean and pollution-free.

3. The laser power decreases or is unstable;

This may result in incomplete cutting or uneven edges. It is necessary to check whether the power of the laser source is stable and ensure that the laser tube and cooling system are operating normally.

4. Nozzle blockage or insufficient air pressure;

Nozzle blockage or insufficient air pressure may affect the laser cutting effect. It is necessary to regularly check whether the nozzle is blocked and adjust the air pressure to ensure the normal operation of the laser cutting machine.

5. Loose or worn mechanical structure;

Loose or worn mechanical structure may affect the accuracy and stability of laser cutting. Users need to regularly check whether the mechanical structure is loose or worn, and tighten or replace it in time.

6. Control software failure;

Control software failure may affect the normal operation of the laser cutting machine. The control software needs to be upgraded regularly and checked for faults in the control software.

7. Poor quality of compressed air;

The quality of compressed air affects the quality of laser cutting products and the health of workers. The quality of compressed air needs to be controlled, including the content of water and oil, the content of particles, pressure and flow in the compressed air.
