How to operate a laser cutter machine

Introduction

Laser cutting machine is a non-contact subtractive cutter that uses laser beam to cut materials for hobbyists and industrial manufacturing applications. The working principle of laser cutting is to guide the output of a high-power focused laser beam to melt the material so that the edge has a high-quality surface finish. The industrial-grade maintenance-free laser cutting system series has outstanding technical advantages, ultra-low power consumption, reduced operating costs and repeatable and accurate laser positioning performance, setting a new benchmark for the cutting of complex patterns, and at the same time, setting a new benchmark and the inspection standards of the quality of the workmanship.

Ready To Work

Before use, check whether all connections of the laser cutting machine (including power supply, PC and exhaust system) are correct and plugged in correctly. Visually check the condition of the laser machine. Ensure that all mechanisms move freely, and check that there is no material under the processing table.

3. Wear good labor protection supplies, in the vicinity of the laser beam must be worn in accordance with the provisions of the protective glasses.

4. Do not have to know whether a material can be used for laser irradiation or heating, not to its processing, so as to avoid the potential dangers of smoke and steam.

9. The use of gas cylinders, should avoid crushing welding wire, so as to avoid leakage accident.

9.1. The use of gas cylinders, transport should comply with the rules of gas cylinders.

9.2. The ban of gas cylinders in the sun or near the heat of the sun.

9.3. When the valve is opened, the operator must stand on the side of the bottle mouth.

11. Maintain 40 hours per week or 1000 hours per week, and follow the procedures.

12. Boot should be manual low speed X, Y direction starting machine, check to confirm whether the abnormal situation.

13. The new work program should input after the trial run, and check the operation.

14. During the work, observe the operation of the laser cutting machine, so as to avoid the cutting machine out of the effective range or two sets of collision caused the accident.
