Introduction of factors affecting the service life of laser pipe cutting machine

The equipment will inevitably wear out during use. Equipment of the same brand and model will have different service life in the hands of different customers. The root cause is that the operator did not use the laser pipe cutting machine in accordance with the specifications, or did not regularly maintain the laser pipe cutting machine. If things go on like this, it will inevitably affect the service life of the laser pipe cutting machine, and the after-sales cost in use will also increase.

So how should the laser pipe cutting machine be maintained? During normal work, how should the laser pipe cutting machine be used correctly?

First, let's take a look at what is the laser pipe cutting machine? What are the main components?

The laser pipe cutting machine is mainly composed of a pipe cutting machine tool, a numerically controlled pipe cutting system, a laser, a laser power supply, and a water cooling system. The cutting machine tool is the core of the equipment.

Tube laser cutting is achieved by the relative movement of the laser beam and the workpiece. The overall rotation of the tube is the X axis, the horizontal movement of the laser head is the Y axis, and the laser head follows the Z axis. The three-dimensional structure design is controlled by the numerical control system to perform segmented reciprocating processing of the workpiece. The process parameters can be changed to adapt to the processing of various types of pipes.

Three main factors affect the life of laser pipe cutting machine

1. When the laser pipe cutting machine is in use, the wear between mechanical bearings will also affect the service life. During use, lubricant can be applied to each gear bearing at regular intervals, which can reduce mechanical wear and keep the machine running normally.

2. The working environment of the laser pipe cutting machine should be cleaned frequently. When the equipment is processing the workpiece, a lot of processing waste dust will be generated.

Unscheduled cleaning will cause dust accumulation and affect normal equipment operation. In addition, it is necessary to check the track straightness of the laser pipe cutting machine and the flatness of the machine tool. If it is found to be abnormal, it needs to be adjusted in time. Otherwise it will increase the cutting error value of the workpiece, seriously affect the cutting quality and reduce the cutting speed.

3. The cutting head of the laser pipe cutting machine needs meticulous protection, and the main component is the cutting head. The cutting head is a very fragile and easily damaged part of the laser pipe cutting machine. It is necessary to prevent the cutting head from colliding during use, and clean and maintain it regularly.
