How to Maintain a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine During Cold Conditions?
All year long, fiber laser cutting machines are used in a variety of applications, and to maintain them operating at their best, routine maintenance is necessary. This is especially apparent during the winter or in regions with extreme cold. Make sure to use the proper anti-freezing methods to prevent downtime and unnecessary costs. Here are some maintenance guidelines for fiber laser cutting machines in colder areas.
Operating the fiber laser cutting machine at a temperature much below 0°C is certain to cause issues because the temperature drops fast in cold conditions. The internal pipes of the laser or water cooling system can rupture or deform as a result of the cooling water’s volume expanding when it freezes. This will ultimately result in serious losses and further damage to other essential components.
Maintain a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine During Cold Conditions
How to Maintain a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine During Cold Conditions? Please follow the following guidelines to properly keep the fiber laser cutting machine in a cold environment:
1. Keep the working temperature above 0℃
It is best to improve the workshop’s heating facilities and make sure that the ambient temperature is kept above 0°C so that the fiber laser cutting machine can operate normally in the winter.
The ambient temperature in the workshop could be below 5°C if there is no heating equipment. For a full day, keep the cooler running.
To guarantee that the cooling water circulates and the temperature is not below the freezing point, the temperature of both normal-temperature and low-temperature water should be changed to 5–10°C in order to save energy.
Please remember to clean the screw if you add grease to it. Make sure the workshop temperature reaches the minimum lubrication temperature before adding grease to avoid freezing motion.
