How to debug a laser cutting machine to make the most of its capabilities? In fact, just like humans, machines require frequent maintenance. Only with this can the equipment maintain a relatively good operating condition. There are many components in laser cutting equipment, and some parts have relatively short maintenance cycles. Therefore, regular maintenance is often needed.

How to debug a laser cutting machine to make the most of it? In fact, like humans, machines require frequent maintenance. Only with this can the equipment maintain a relatively good operating state. There are many components in laser cutting equipment, and some components have relatively short maintenance cycles. Therefore, frequent maintenance is often needed.

1. Adjust the machine assembly to improve the cutting effect of the machine.
1. Guide rail installation:
When installing the guide rails, they should be kept parallel. When the laser equipment leaves the factory, it needs to be repeatedly debugged to ensure that the cutting effect of each machine is guaranteed. If the guide rails are not parallel, there will be resistance during the machine operation, and most cuts will have jagged edges, so the Y-axis guide rail needs to be kept parallel.
2. Poor installation position of the beam and coupling:
During the installation of the machine's beam and coupling, if the locking screws are not tightened, or if the locking parts are tilted or loose, it will affect the cutting effect of the laser cutting machine.
Installation testing:
2. Adjust the parameters of the laser machine to increase the cutting speed of the machine.
During the cutting process, the machine parameters need to be gradually adjusted. Generally speaking, if the machine is not adjusted properly, the cutting speed will be affected, either the speed or the effect. How to achieve a state of both speed and effect is our responsibility. Adjustments need to be made based on the customer's material. When leaving the factory, every parameter of the laser cutting machine is preset, but adjustments can be made later according to user needs. When setting parameters, the following points should be noted.
1. Initial speed:
As the name suggests, this setting is the speed at which the machine starts. First of all, the initial speed is not better the faster it is. In fact, if the speed is too fast, the machine may shake violently at the beginning.
2. Acceleration:
Acceleration is the process of the machine accelerating from the initial speed to normal cutting speed during production. Similarly, when the machine is about to finish cutting, there will also be a deceleration process. If the acceleration is too low, the cutting speed of the machine will change.
3. Methods for debugging the precision of the laser cutting machine
1. When the focus of the laser is adjusted to the smallest point, establish the effect through point shooting, and judge the focal length position based on the size of the spot effect. We only need to confirm that the laser spot is at its minimum value, then this position is suitable for processing focal length, and processing can begin.
2. In the first part of debugging the laser cutting machine, we can use some debugging paper and workpiece waste to determine the accuracy of the focal length position through point shooting, and adjust the height position of the laser head up and down. The size of the laser spot will vary during point shooting. By adjusting different positions multiple times, find the position of the smallest spot to determine the focal length and appropriate position of the laser head. The workpieces processed by the laser cutting machine have no burrs or wrinkles, high precision, and are superior to plasma cutting. For many mechanical and electrical manufacturing industries, the CNC laser cutting system is often preferred over stamping and forming processes because it can easily cut workpieces of different shapes and sizes. There is no need to repair molds, and it also saves time for changing molds, thus reducing processing costs and lowering product costs, making it overall more economical.
