Metal material is an important product in the manufacturing industry. If you want to make full use of this material, it should be cut and formed with metal forming equipment, and a metal laser cutting machine is an important mechanical equipment in metal fabrication and processing industries. Compared with other types of cutting machines, metal laser cutting machines have a high degree of automation, a wider range of applications, and higher cutting efficiency and cutting accuracy, so they are widely used in the manufacturing industry.
Metal laser cutting machine is a powerful tool for metal cutting. If you want to make it work efficiently, you need to master its working principle and operation steps. Let's learn how to operate a metal laser-cutting machine.
The working principle of the metal laser cutting machine is not difficult to understand. The laser cutting machine uses a focused high-power and high-energy density laser beam to irradiate the workpiece, so that the irradiated material quickly melts, vaporizes, ablates, or reaches the ignition point. The coaxial high-pressure high-speed airflow blows away the molten material to realize the cutting of the workpiece.
To operate a metal laser cutting machine, you generally need to follow these steps.
1. Turn on the working circuits of each part, including the main power switch, voltage stabilizer, fiber laser power switch, air compressor, air valve, air dryer, etc. to ensure that the power supply system of each part is normal.
2. Trial operation of the machine to confirm that the machine runs smoothly, and the limit and emergency buttons are reliable.
3. Place the metal material to be cut smoothly on the cutting table of the machine tool, operate the console computer screen at the same time, input parameters such as the thickness of the product material, and import the graphic pattern into the machine.
4. Control the movement of each axis through the functions in the menu, and adjust the cutting position to the appropriate part of the plate.
5. Adjust the cutting head to the appropriate cutting focus position through the direction keys on the panel.
6. Start the laser and machine tool, and then the equipment automatically starts cutting according to the input parameters and graphic patterns.
7. During the cutting process, there must be staff (users) present. If there is an emergency that requires a quick response, press the emergency switch.
8. After finishing the cutting work, pay attention to checking the cutting accuracy and quality of the first sample.
Boot sequence
1. Turn on the main power switch.(the computer will run automatically)
2. Turn on the key switch.
3. Turn on the chiller, and turn on the laser source when the temperature is above 20℃.
4. Turn on the laser source about 30 seconds later, press the enable button on the laser source panel, and the button will turn red.
5.Turn on the main valve of the O2 and N2,let the O2 output pressure about 0.5MPa,N2 output pressure about 1.8Mpa.
6. Turn on cutting software, follow the prompts go to origin first, then import the file and the cutting parameters.
Shutdown sequence
1.Turn off the O2 and N2 main valve, press the blow button output pressure remain in tube.
2.Shut down the computer.
3.Turn off the laser source key switch.
4.Turn off machine key switch.
5.Turn off chiller.
6.Turn off machine main power switch.
Precautions for the use of chiller
Please fill the chiller with purified water.
Every 2-3 months change water.
Summer chiller temp setting:Low temperature 25-26℃,high 28-30℃.
Winter chiller setting:Low temperature 22-24℃,high 24-26℃.
In areas where the temperature may be lower than 0°C in winter, please note that before the water freezes, the purified water inside the water chiller must be replaced with the antifreeze recommended by the company. DO not use car antifreeze to prevent corrosion of the chiller.
After the temperature rises in spring, change the antifreeze to purified water in time to prevent high temperature alarm in summer.
Please keep the chiller clean,at least clean once every week.
Please keep the chiller good ventilation and heat dissipation,avoid direct sunlight.
Software basic operation process
1. Follow the prompts to return origin first when start the software.
2. Open the file（.dxf） going to cut ,select it and sort.
3. Import the right cutting paramater ,according to the paramater note change the nozzle.
4. Move the laser head to the plate,then frame ,make sure red light do not go out of plate.
5. Press shutter .
6. Press start to cut,do not leave away machine when machine is cutting ,anything goes wrong should stop immediately.
It is worth noting that when operating the metal laser cutting machine, in addition to strictly following the operating procedures, personal protection should also be done. For example, when near the laser beam, wear protective glasses that meet the requirements to avoid unnecessary risks. . If you are a novice, you must refer to all relevant manuals, or take up the job after professional training, and remember to use and operate it arbitrarily.
Laser cutting has now become the preferred processing method in the processing industry. Laser cutting can be used to process various metal pipes or metal materials in various industries, for example, we often see some beautiful stainless steel screens in architectural hardware decoration, Stainless steel fonts, stainless steel escalators, stainless steel doors, and windows, etc., are all made by laser cutting. Today's optical cutting system is constantly improving in high-tech and information technology. Compared with another revolution in traditional machinery manufacturing technology, it has played a huge role in promoting the metal stainless steel decoration engineering industry.
