Laser cutting machine

When it is recommend to use pure water and keep the water temperature below 35°C. So if it exceeds 35°C, the circulating water needs to replace, or ice cubes are add to the water to lower the water temperature. Clean the water tank: first turn off the power, unplug the water inlet pipe, let the water in the laser tube automatically flow into the water tank, open the water tank, take out the water pump, and remove the dirt on the water pump.

Lens cleaning: there will be some reflectors and focusing lenses on the machine. The laser light is emitt from the laser head after being reflecte and focus by these lenses. The lens is easy to be stained with dust or other contaminants, causing laser loss or lens damage. Clean the lenses every day is better to your machine.

At the same time of cleaning:
1. The lens is wipedgently, and the surface coating should not be damage;
2. The wiping process should be handle gently to prevent falling;
3. When installing the focusing lens, be sure to keep the concave side down

During the operation of the equipment, due to the large amount of corrosive dust and smoke generat during the processing of the process parts, these smoke and dust will be deposite on the surface of the guide rail and linear shaft for a long time.  Clean the machine guide every half a month. Turn off the machine before cleaning.

Every other week, you must check the X-axis guide rail and lead screw, Y-axis guide rail and lead screw, Z-axis guide rail and lead screw lubricating oil filling condition, keep the lubrication of all moving parts, and extend the X, Y, Z axis guide rail and lead screw.
