Maintenance of Handheld Laser Welding Machine

The application of handheld laser welding machine brings a new welding technology to the field of industrial welding, which is a real revolution. It offers great advantages for metal welding jobs, it can weld metals at high speed and obtain strong welds. Like all machines, laser welding machines require proper maintenance to ensure consistent welding performance and longer machine life.

 

Before starting to use a handheld laser welding machine, we recommend that you do a general review of the machine to ensure that all components are working properly. In the process of using the laser welding machine, if there is an abnormal phenomenon, please do not disassemble the electrical components or the laser at will. At this time, you can contact the laser welding machine supplier, and they will have a professional technical team to provide users with consulting services. You can troubleshoot and solve problems under the correct guidance of a technician. This can help you reduce repair time and repair costs.

 

Fiber laser welding machine is a kind of equipment with few consumables, so its maintenance method is not complicated at all. We can perform some basic maintenance steps on the laser welding machine, from extending the service life of machine components and consumables to saving costs. Here are some common maintenance methods for keeping your handheld laser welding machine in good shape.

1. Maintain a good machine operating environment

When using the laser welding machine in a high temperature and humid environment, it is necessary to pay attention to the state of the cooling water pipeline, and prevent condensation on the pipeline. Once there is a problem with the cooling water pipeline, it may cause the power of the machine to not output normally, and in severe cases, it may not be able to emit light.

2. Regularly check the optical path components of the laser welding machine

After the laser welding system has been working continuously for two weeks or has been stopped for a period of time, first check the components in the optical path such as the YAG rod, the dielectric diaphragm and the protective mirror before starting the machine to ensure that the optical components are not contaminated or mildewed and other abnormal phenomena. If such a problem occurs, it needs to be handled immediately to ensure that the optical components will not be damaged under strong laser irradiation.

3. Check the conductivity of the circulating water

The purity of the cooling water is the key to ensuring the laser output efficiency and the life of the laser concentrating cavity components. It is recommended to check the conductivity of the inner circulating water once a week, and replace the inner circulating deionized water once a month.

4. Regularly check the quality of the laser beam emitted by the laser

The laser welding machine operator can often check the laser output spot with black image paper. If the spot is uneven or the energy drops, the resonator of the laser needs to be adjusted in real time. Fine-tune the spot to ensure the beam quality of the laser output.

5. Other precautions for using laser welding machine

When changing the focus lens, it must be done in a dust-free environment;

The nozzles can be easily replaced by turning them counterclockwise, it is very important to keep them clean and to use them correctly;

The laser welding gun must be clean;

Check the lens protector regularly to make sure it is free of contamination and scratches.

 

When using a handheld laser welding machine, in addition to proper maintenance, we should also pay attention to the safety of operating the machine. This is very simple compared to other welding methods, just wear laser safety goggles to protect your eyes.

 

The above are the precautions on how to carry out daily maintenance of the laser welding machine. The correct maintenance method is the basis for ensuring the normal operation of the machine, not only to maintain stable welding performance, but also to avoid unnecessary economic losses to the enterprise due to damage to the machine. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved by yourself when operating the laser welding machine, be sure to contact the laser welding machine supplier and ask them to provide professional help to avoid undue damage to the machine.
