As an important equipment in modern industry, the laser cutting machine plays a key role in production and manufacturing with its efficient and precise cutting ability. However, as the use time increases, the laser cutting machine often experiences a power drop, which not only affects production efficiency but may also have an adverse effect on product quality. So, what are the reasons for the power drop of the laser cutting machine after long-term use?
Laser tube aging
The laser tube is the core component of the laser cutting machine. After long-term use, the internal gas will gradually be exhausted and decayed, resulting in a natural drop in laser power. In addition, improper optical path adjustment is also a common factor in power drop. If the optical path is not adjusted accurately, the quality of the laser beam will be affected, which in turn affects the stability of the laser power and the cutting effect.
Damage to optical components
If the optical components such as lenses and lenses in the laser cutting machine are contaminated or damaged, the laser energy will be dissipated, thereby affecting the stability of the laser power and the life of the equipment. Therefore, it is essential to regularly check and clean the optical components.
Cooling system failure
The cooling system is responsible for consuming the heat generated by the laser to ensure the normal operation of the equipment. If the cooling system fails or is improperly maintained, it will cause the laser tube and laser head to overheat, which will affect the stability of the laser power and the life of the equipment.
Fiber aging
Laser cutting machines use optical fibers for laser transmission. Aging or damage to the optical fibers will cause the laser power to drop. Therefore, regularly checking the status of the optical fibers and replacing damaged optical fibers in time are important measures to maintain the stability of the laser cutting machine power.
In summary, there are many reasons for the power drop of the laser cutting machine after long-term use. In order to maintain the stable performance of the laser cutting machine, users should regularly check and maintain the equipment to ensure that all components are in good condition.
