How do you maintain a fiber laser engraver?

July 25, 2022

Maintenance is an important way to maintain, improve performance and precision, save money, improve work efficiency and create more economic benefits. And it can also effectively extend the life of the fiber laser engraver if they maintain the machine well.

The specific maintenance methods of the fiber laser engraving machines are summarized below.

1. When the machine is not working, the operators should turn off the power of the engraving machine and computer.

2. When the machine is not working, cover the lens cap to prevent dust or dirt from contaminating the optical lens.

3. While the machine is working, it is under a high voltage state. The non-specialized personnel should not operate or repair the device in order to avoid electric shock.

4. If the machine fails, the operators must immediately disconnect the power supply.

When the laser engraver is used for a long time, the dust will be adsorbed on the focus lens. It reduces the power of the laser and affects the engraving effect. More seriously, it will cause the optical lens to absorb heat and overheat or cause an explosion.

If the focus lens surface is not clean, remove the focus lens to clean the surface. The cleaning method is to use long fiber cotton swabs or lens paper to dip with the ethanol. And then it should gently scrub the surface of the focus lens. The swab or lens paper should be replaced once after cleaning one piece of lens.

Tips for maintenance:
Do not move the machine during the working process of the laser engraving machine to avoid damage.

1. Do not cover or place other objects on the fiber laser engraving machine to avoid affecting the heat dissipation effect of the machine.

2. Pay attention to cleaning up the dust every day. Keep the inside of the machine dry and clean and remove the dust from the inside. Note the dust on the laser and computer air outlets. And do not remove dust in the laser and computer case.

3. Keep the laser engraver's working environment dry and well ventilated.

Laser engraving is a popular option that provides a permanent and legible marking on an object through etching, ablation, or deep laser engraving. It is similar to laser marking, but the resulting appearance differs due to the depth of laser penetration.
Laser engraving is commonly used to create permanent serial markings on substrates made of: Metal, Wood, Plastic, Leather.
Benefits Of Laser Engraving Over Traditional Processes
Compared to manual engraving:
Minimally Invasive: Laser engraving can be performed at a range of depths without any direct contact at all. Surface marks can even be done on stainless steel with no depth. Overall, lasers are less damaging than manual engraving and keep the substrate material’s physical integrity intact.
Precise: Lasers provide a level of control that’s impossible to achieve manually. Compared to hand-engraving, the process is swift, clean, and highly repeatable, with little room for human error.
Versatile: A single laser engraving machine can be used to create a host of different designs with only minimal calibration. They can also produce exceptionally complex patterns. Affordable: On average, laser devices last longer than other engraving machines and require less maintenance, resulting in savings that can be passed along to the consumer.
Fast: Lasers can be programmed to render virtually any design in a matter of moments. Because the process is automated, it’s easy to scale production runs as needed according to demand.
Long-Lasting: Laser-engraved designs are permanent but can wear over time, depending on the substrate material that’s used. Soft metals, for example, may experience more signs of wear than hardwood. In general, however, laser-engraved designs tend to have a longer lifespan compared to other engraving methods.
