Four Points to Remember When Maintaining a Laser Engraver

Regular maintenance of the inner wall of the laser marking machine directly affects the machine's lifespan and the quality of the markings.These four points cover cleaning, inspection, calibration, and replacement of consumables, and help customers reduce the frequency of machine failure and ensure that their equipment operates stably and efficiently.

Daily cleaning can't be taken lightly.

The lenses of laser markers and the insides of deep holes easily collect dust or oil, which can affect the precision of the marking over time.I suggest that everyone should use a special, dust-free cloth to wipe the lens clean after each use. Don't use a regular paper towel to wipe it, or you'll scratch the glass.If you encounter a particularly stubborn stain, you can use some rubbing alcohol, but remember to wait until it dries completely before turning the machine back on.

Regularly check these key areas.

Don't neglect the cooling system.

A laser machine's number one killer is poor heat dissipation. Every week you have to check the level of water in the cooling tank and see if the pipes have aged and are leaking.In summer, you should clean the dust off the cooling fans every two weeks or so; otherwise, the computer may overheat and stop working.

Transmission parts should be of the highest quality.

The rails and screws need to be oiled at least once per month.If you hear a squeak when the machine is running, it's probably due to lack of oil.Check to see if any screws have become loose, especially on moving parts.

The parameters must be adjusted to keep up.

Many people think that once the parameters have been set, they can be left alone. In fact, temperature changes and wear and tear to the parts can all affect the marking results.It is suggested that you check the focal distance and energy parameters with a test plate after about 500 marks have been made.If your lines get thicker or lighter, don't rush to replace the ink cartridge. Try calibrating the device first.

Changing supplies at the right time is the key.

He has a good idea of the lifespan of his lasers.

There are great differences in the lifespans of different brands of lasers. Some can last for 20,000 hours, while others degrade after less than 10,000.Keep records of how long your body parts have been working. When you see that a part is close to its limit, prepare a replacement in advance, rather than waiting until it breaks.

Replace the consumables on time.

The filter cotton must be changed every three months, and especially when working on metals, the metal chips can easily clog the filter.If the coolant becomes cloudy or develops sediment, don't be stingy and just change the liquid. Change the whole system, or you may end up with a corroded radiator.
