How to Operate Machine When It Is Cold

Because of the unique structure of fiber laser source, when people operate the machine in cold weather. Some improper operation will cause the machine and laser source get hurt. Sometimes it may lead the laser source be damaged very bad. Therefore, the user need to pay more attention on taking care of the machine in winter.

For extension the machine’s lifetime, we provide some tips you can have a look.

1 At first, please follow the rules to use the fiber laser cutting machine. The working condition of the temperature is from 15°C to 40°C.

2 Sometimes, the temperature is getting real low. The water inside of laser source is getting freeze. So we suggest you to add glycol to the water cooling system. The brand we suggest you AntifrogenN. The limit of capacity is 10%-20%. For example, if the water chiller could add 100L purifying water. The gloycol you add can not over than 20L.  More important is : Never Add propylene glycol.
