How To Use A Laser Cutter Machine for Beginners?
Laser cutting is a non-contact subtractive manufacturing technology to cut materials in small business and industrial manufacturing applications. The working principle is to guide the output of a high-power focused pro laser beam to melt the material so that the edge has a high-quality surface finish. The industrial-grade maintenance-free laser beam cutting system has outstanding technical advantages, ultra-low power consumption, reduced operating costs, and repeatable and accurate positioning performance, which sets a new benchmark for the cutting of complex patterns and establishes a new standard for process quality inspection.
Before starting, you should do the following preparations:
First, we should check all the connections of the machine (including power supply, PC and exhaust system) are correct and inserted correctly. Visually check the condition of the machine. Ensure that all mechanisms move freely, and check that there is no material under the processing table. Ensure that the work area and optical components are clean, and clean if necessary. For more information on this issue, please read the "General Maintenance" section of the operation manual. Check the exhaust system and start the cooling system if necessary. Check whether the filter and activated carbon of the exhaust system are installed in accordance with the instructions. After checking, close the protective cover.
Next, press the main switch to turn on the main power of the machine. Turn the key switch on the control panel. This is machine-specific and not relevant to all lasers. If all the covers fixed with safety circuit breakers are closed, the system will start to quote after startup. After turning on the machine, the table will move all the way down while the pro cutting head moves to the zero position (located in the upper left corner). When there is a sound and the LED light flashes slowly and steadily, the reference process has been completed correctly and the machine is ready to start operation.
After all preparations are finished, do as the easy-to-follow operation steps:
Step 1. Place the raw material to be cut steadily on the table;
Step 2. According to the material and thickness of the raw material to be cut, adjust the system cutting parameters of the equipment correspondingly;
Step 3. Choose suitable nozzles and lenses, and inspect them to make sure their appearance and cleanliness are intact;
Step 4. Repeatedly debug the equipment and adjust the focus point of the cutting head to a suitable position;
Step 5. Check and adjust the nozzle of the equipment and adjust it to the center;
Step 6. Adjust and calibrate the sensor of the cutting head;
Step 7. According to your own working needs, select a suitable gas, and check whether the jet is in good condition;
Step 8. Try cutting the raw material to be cut, and observe whether the section is smooth and the cutting accuracy is accurate. If there is a deviation, adjust the equipment parameters accordingly until the proofing meets the requirements;
Step 9. Draw and typeset the graphics to be cut, and import them into the cutting system;
Step 10. Adjust the position of the cutting head. You can start working after all preparations are done;
Step 11. During the operation, the staff needs to be present at the scene to observe the working condition of the equipment, and if there is an emergency, they need to quickly press the brake button;
Step 12. When the equipment is stopped, always clean the guide rails, wipe the rack of the equipment, and often apply lubricating oil on the guide rails to ensure that there is no debris;
Step 13. The motor ring should be cleaned frequently to ensure the normal operation of the machine and accurate cutting, so as to ensure the quality;
Step 14. The staff must use a vacuum cleaner to suck away the dust and debris from the machine every week to ensure the cleanliness of the equipment;
Step 15. To ensure the service life of the machine, it is necessary to check the straightness and verticality of its track every six months, and if any abnormality is found, it must be maintained and debugged in time.
