As an important equipment in modern industrial production, the stability of the performance and the length of its life span directly affect the production efficiency and cost. How long is the life span of the laser tube cutter? How to extend its service life?
What is a laser pipe cutting machine?
Tube laser cutting is achieved by the relative motion of the laser beam and the workpiece. In the design of the machine, the tube is taken to rotate axially (X-axis). The laser head moves horizontally (y-axis) to synthesize the motion trajectory, i.e. the laser beam flies in a one-way motion. At the same time, the laser head (Z-axis) follows the movement for focal tracking. And the reciprocating processing of the workpiece in segments is controlled by the CNC system. Process parameters can be set according to the processing requirements of the workpiece.
What are the components?
CNC tube laser cutting machine mainly consists of tube cutting machine tool, CNC tube cutting system, laser, laser power supply, water cooling system, and other units. Of which the cutting machine tool is the core of the equipment.
Factors affecting the lifespan of laser tube cutter
Material quality: The material of the laser tube directly determines its durability. High-quality laser tubes are made of high-quality materials, have better high temperature resistance and oxidation resistance, and naturally have a longer lifespan.
Frequency of use: High-intensity and long-term work will accelerate the wear of the laser tube and shorten its service life.
Maintenance: Regular cleaning, replacement of wearing parts, inspection of the cooling system and other maintenance measures can effectively extend the life of the laser tube.
Working environment: High temperature, high humidity and dusty environment will accelerate the aging of the laser tube.
Operation method: Wrong operation methods, such as overload work, frequent switching on and off, will damage the laser tube.
How Long Does Laser tube cutter longevity
The average life of a laser tube cutting machine varies depending on factors such as brand, model, and usage environment. Generally speaking, a high-quality laser tube can last for tens of thousands of hours under normal use and maintenance. However, if used improperly or in a harsh environment, the life may be greatly shortened.
How to extend the life expectancy of laser tube cutter?
Regular cleaning and maintenance: Regularly clean the laser cavity, check the cooling water circulation system, and replace wearing parts such as O-rings, sealing rings, etc.
Reasonable use: Avoid long-term continuous work, pay attention to controlling the cutting speed and power, and prevent the laser tube from overheating.
Good working environment: Keep the working environment clean and dry to avoid dust, oil and other pollution to the laser.
Professional maintenance: Regularly ask professionals to inspect and maintain the laser cutting machine to find and solve potential problems in time.
Choose the right coolant: Use high-quality coolant and replace it regularly.
Avoid frequent switching on and off: Frequent switching on and off can easily cause stress on the laser tube and shorten its life.
Conclusion
Although the life of the laser tube cutting machine is affected by many factors, through reasonable maintenance and correct operation, we can effectively extend its service life and improve production efficiency. Regular inspection and timely maintenance are the key to extending the life of the laser tube cutting machine.
