How to Deal with the Noise Problem of Air Compressor for Laser Cutter?

In the daily use of laser cutting, the noise problem of air compressor for laser cutter is always inevitable for users, but the noise of laser cutting air compressors is also being solved by R&D personnel and maintenance personnel. With the current technical level, this noise cannot be completely eliminated. TSC uses variable frequency permanent magnet motors, which are small in size and less noisy, and more energy-saving for long-term use.

1. Solution of Noise Problem

1.1 Choose a Low-Noise Air Compressor

Noise Level: When purchasing an air compressor, choose a model with a lower noise level. Many manufacturers will provide technical parameters for noise levels, usually expressed in decibels.
Oil-Free Compressors: Oil-free compressors are usually quieter than oil-lubricated compressors and are suitable for environments with strict noise requirements.

1.2 Install a Soundproof Cover

Soundproof Materials: Install a soundproof cover for the air compressor for laser cutter and use sound-absorbing materials (such as foam, soundproof cotton, etc.) to reduce noise transmission. Ensure that the cover is designed reasonably to facilitate heat dissipation and maintenance.
Ventilation Design: Design vents on the soundproof cover to ensure that the air compressor will not be damaged by overheating during operation.

1.3 Optimize Pipe Design

Smooth Pipes: Use smooth pipes to avoid sharp turns and unnecessary resistance to reduce airflow noise.
Soundproof Pipes: Consider using soundproof pipes or wrapping soundproof materials to further reduce the noise generated when airflow passes through.

1.4 Noise Monitoring

Noise Monitoring Equipment: Use noise monitoring equipment to regularly detect the noise level in the working environment to ensure that it is within a safe range.
Employee Feedback: Regularly collect feedback from operators to understand the impact of noise on the working environment and take improvement measures in a timely manner.

2. Advantages of TSC Air Compressor for Laser Cutter

The product features of laser cutting air compressors produced by TSC can be efficient output, durable, silent and low noise function, low consumption and energy saving, permanent magnet frequency conversion, and easy maintenance in the later stage.
Silencers and silencer pits are generally used to reduce the noise of laser cutting air compressors.

2.1 Choose Appropriate Inlet and Outlet Mufflers

The main noise source of laser cutting air compressors is the inlet and outlet, and appropriate inlet and outlet silencers should be selected in these places.
The air compressor has a low intake noise spectrum, and the intake muffler should adopt an inductive structure or an impedance composite structure with resistance as the main factor. The air compressor for laser cutter has a high exhaust pressure and a fast air flow speed, and a small-hole muffler should be used at the air compressor outlet.

2.2 Set up a Laser-Cut Muffler Channel for the Air Compressor

The air compressor muffler tunnel is laser cut for underground or semi-underground tunnels, and the tunnel wall is made of sound-absorbing bricks. Connect the air compressor intake pipe to the muffler tunnel so that air enters the air compressor through the muffler tunnel. The use of the muffler tunnel can greatly reduce the intake noise of the air compressor, and the service life is longer than that of ordinary mufflers.

3. Daily Maintenance Recommendations

• Observe whether the operating temperature of the air compressor for laser cutter is normal every day and maintain 70℃-95℃. Long-term operation below 70℃ is prone to emulsification of engine oil, and above 95℃ causes high-temperature deterioration of engine oil.
• Drain the air tank and filter every day to see if the automatic drainer is operating normally. Drain the condensed water in the oil drum before starting the machine.
• Check whether the operating voltage, current, and oil level are normal, and check whether the internal joints and oil pipes of the machine are leaking oil.
• Clean the radiator (air compressor and cold dryer) and air filter element every week to avoid high temperature of the machine and air filter blockage. Clean the filter and valve core every month to avoid blockage.
• Precision filters need to be replaced every 2500 hours, and industries such as laser machines need to be replaced every 1500 hours or three months.

Summary

The noise problem of the air compressor for laser cutter can be effectively reduced by selecting low-noise equipment, installing sound insulation facilities, and regular maintenance. Paying attention to noise problems not only helps to improve the comfort of the working environment, but also protects the health of operators.
