For equipment as large and expensive as laser cutting machines, of course, it is no exception. The first thing users can do is to carefully read the user manual. In addition to the technical engineers from the equipment manufacturer who will conduct laser cutting machine operation training at the customer's site, users also need to practice the operation and use time accumulation to digest the content of the manual.
After long-term experience accumulation, senior technical personnel in the laser cutting industry have summarized the following basic operation guidelines for beginner users to refer to:
1、 Fixed cutting material. Fix the material to be cut on the working surface of the laser cutting machine;
2、 Adjust equipment parameters accordingly based on the material and thickness of the metal plate;
3、 Select appropriate lenses and nozzles, and check them for completeness and cleanliness before starting the machine;
4、 Adjust the focal length. Adjust the cutting head to the appropriate focus position;
5、 Check and adjust the nozzle center;
6、 Calibration of cutting head sensors;
7、 Select suitable cutting gas and check its integrity;
8、 Try cutting the material. After cutting the material, check whether the cutting end face is smooth and check the cutting accuracy. If there are any errors, please adjust the equipment parameters accordingly until it is proven that they meet the requirements;
9、 Prepare workpiece drawings and create corresponding layouts, and import them into the equipment cutting system;
10、 Adjust the position of the cutting head and start cutting;
11、 During the operation, the staff must be present throughout the entire site and carefully observe the cutting situation. If an emergency occurs and a quick response is required, press the emergency stop button;
12、 Check the cutting quality and accuracy of the first sample;
Pay attention to checking the size of auxiliary gas and gas pressure. If the gas is insufficient, it needs to be replaced in a timely manner.
The above laser cutting machine operation steps may have significant reference value for new users, but the specific operation of the laser cutting machine should be adjusted according to the actual situation. I hope that most users purchase machines, operate them, and use them to create more and greater value for their businesses.
