Common Faults And Troubleshooting Of Fiber Laser Cutting Machines

Fiber Laser Cutting Machines have revolutionized the ways in which different types of materials can be cut. The cutting machines are capable of cutting metals with high precision and speed using a fiber laser source. However, as with any pieces of equipment, they experience malfunctions that require maintenance, repair or replacement.

General problems experienced in Fiber Laser Cutting Machines：

Variation in Laser Power

Inconsistent cuts are one of the common problems with fiber laser cutting machines. Variations in laser power are arguably the biggest cause of inconsistent cuts. Such variations could be due to the laser source being damaged, misalignment of the focusing lens, or dust build up in the optical path. Proper maintenance and cleaning of the optical components on the machine should help deal with this problem.

Problems with Cutting Speed

Many times, there are issues with the cutting speed promised by the machine and the expected speed. This could be due to software problems, mechanical wear, or incorrect gas flow. To solve the problem, it’s recommended to inspect the devices and ensure appropriate gas flow settings.

Poor Beam Quality

Poor beam quality can be said to stem from damaged cutting edges or loose cutting tools. In many cases, poor beam quality results in excessive kerf width and wastage of material. This issue is typically caused by incorrectly calibrated fiber optic cables or mirrors or unreliable electrical supply. Regular inspections of the tools and electrical supply can contribute to poor beam quality.

There are a number of headaches that you are to resolve in overhauling parts, or upgrading firmware inside a machine ： 

Updating Software and Firmware

Updating a certain device’s software oftentimes resolves many bugs and ensures that the part operates smoothly.

Operating A Certain Device

It starts by changing any unasked variables inside it, such as changing the cabling bolt and looking inside it.
