THREE KEY FACTORS FOR GOOD QUALITY LASER CUTTING

Regular maintenance is the key to  XT laser cutting quality.  To the cut as good as possible, the laser cutter requires regular service and cleaning. However many companies forget about the importance of regular maintenance.

the prescribed manner is cleaned the laser cutter lenses

Cutting lenses are one of the most important parameters that affect the quality of the cut. Since during the cutting, processes that can lead to the formation of layers on the lens, which reduces the quality of the cut occur, the operator has to clean the lens after a certain number of cutting cycles.  By improper cleaning the cutting lens may be damaged or not cleaned entirely. Leaving a thin layer of dirt on it.

 

the laser jet centered

The jet in  a laser cutting process has a very important and irreplaceable role. In addition to conducting the laser beam and directing it to the metal. An auxiliary gas used for cutting passes through it as well. For this reason, after a certain number of cutting cycles, the operator must check the centering of the jet by directing the laser beam on the tape for about 1 second. After this one make sure the hole created in the tape is well centered.

The laser cutter optic focused o not

In addition to regular and duly maintenance of the cutting optics. It is necessary to focus it after a certain number of cutting cycles. Modern laser cutting machines have a system that focuses it automatically without the need for any kind of intervention done by the operator. However, in older laser cutters, the operator must be the one to complete the focusing process.

In addition to conducting the laser beam and directing it to the metal. An auxiliary gas used for cutting passes through it as well. For this reason, after a certain number of cutting cycles, the operator must check the centering of the jet by directing the laser beam on the tape for about 1 second.
