Summer Safety Guide for Laser Equipment

In the summer's hot environment, it is especially important to cool and maintain laser equipment.They share the principles of laser cooling, cleaning techniques and high-temperature protection measures, helping users avoid equipment overheating and extending its useful life.These tips should help keep your equipment running smoothly in the heat.

Why is it so important to cool the body in summer?

In the summer, laser equipment can overheat just like a person suffering from a fever.Not only does the heat slow down the equipment, it can also burn out key components, costing thousands to repair.For machines that work continuously, dust can build up on the heat dissipation fan, and the coolant can evaporate quickly. If you add all these problems together, the failure rate doubles.We have to get ready ahead of time to protect the equipment from the heat.

The three steps to heat dissipation.

Clearing the lungs: Fans for dust removal.

Cooling fans are the "lungs" of the equipment, but after a while they fill up with cotton lint and dust.It is recommended that the blades be cleaned once a week with a soft brush, and stubborn stains can be removed with a cotton swab dipped in alcohol.Be careful not to blow too hard, or you might blow the dust into the inner workings.

Cooling system "watering" strategies.

The coolant in the water cooling system is like blood to the human body, and evaporates particularly fast in summer.When you open the tank cover to check, the water level should be at least at the level of the pipe.If the solution becomes cloudy or changes color, replace it immediately.A little secret trick: adding some industrial antifreeze will slow the evaporation rate.

Cooling down the environment.

Don't think that just because you've put the equipment in a climate-controlled room everything is okay. The air outlet can't be pointed directly at the machine, and sudden changes in temperature can cause condensation to form on the metal parts.It is best to place an industrial fan around the equipment to promote air circulation.Placing a bowl of water in a corner of the room can increase the humidity and prevent static interference.

What do you do if the equipment gets too hot?

The correct posture for emergency cooling.

If the equipment is hot to the touch, turn it off and let it rest for 20 minutes.Never pour water or place a wet towel on it. Instead, wrap an icebag in a thick towel and use it to cool down the machine from a distance of half a meter.After the temperature has dropped, check to see if the ventilation holes are blocked.

These are warning signals.

Frequent automatic shutdowns, a decline in processing accuracy, and noisy cooling fans are all signs of "computer heat stroke.If you encounter such a situation, first carry out basic maintenance. If the problem still exists, contact the after-sales engineer as soon as possible.Don ’ t attempt to disassemble the machine yourself. The laser head is much more fragile than a cell phone screen!

A long-term maintenance plan.

I suggest that everyone set up a reminder on their mobile phone calendar: clean your air conditioner filter on the first of every month, change the cooling liquid every quarter, and get a professional cleaning once a year.During times of extreme heat, the midday break is extended by one hour, to give the equipment and the workers a chance to catch their breath.Remember, it's always cheaper to prevent than to repair!
