7 important fiber laser cutting machine maintenance programs that are easy to ignore

Maintenance and upkeep of fiber laser cutting machines are crucial for their performance and longevity. However, many people do not fully understand how to properly maintain a fiber laser cutting machine. In this article, we will focus on 7 commonly overlooked but crucial maintenance practices for fiber laser cutting machines.


1. Increase lubrication system maintenance


Lubrication is a key factor in keeping a fiber laser cutting machine running smoothly. Therefore, we need to maintain the lubrication system by replacing lubricating oil regularly and ensuring that any problems with the lubrication system are immediately checked and repaired.

2. Adjust air pressure correctly


Correct air pressure ensures cutting quality and efficiency. The gases used in fiber laser cutting machines include oxygen, nitrogen, and air.Overly high or low air pressure may lead to decreased cutting quality or damage to the cutting head. Therefore, we need to check and adjust the air pressure regularly according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

3. Replace consumables regularly


Examples of consumables include ink wires, lenses, fiber optic assemblies, and more. These components are all consumables and have relatively short lifespans. Therefore, regular replacement of these components can ensure cutting quality and efficiency.

4. Clean the fiber optic port regularly


The fiber optic port of a fiber laser cutting machine needs to be cleaned regularly, otherwise dust and dirt will reduce cutting quality and efficiency. Using compressed air or a cleaning rod can easily clean the fiber optic port.


5. Regularly inspect the cutting head and fiber optic assembly


The cutting head and fiber optic assembly are crucial components that require regular inspection to ensure proper operation. During use, we need to check for damage, wear and tear, and perform maintenance and replacement in a timely manner.

6. Keep the optical path clean


The optical path is the path from the laser to the fiber optic assembly and on to the cutting head. Therefore, we need to regularly clean the optical path to maintain cutting quality. Using appropriate cleaning solution and equipment can effectively remove dirt and debris from the optical path.
