Laser reducer refers to a precision reduction transmission device used in conjunction with the laser system, which is usually used in laser cutting, laser engraving and other laser processing equipment. The main function of this type of reducer is to convert the rapid rotation of the motor into a low-speed, high-torque output to achieve more precise control and stable operation.
Laser reducer usually uses gears, worm gears or belt drives to reduce the speed. Its structure usually includes:
Input shaft: connects to the motor and inputs the motor's rotation to the reducer.
Gear system: reduces the speed and increases the output torque through a combination of gears of different sizes.
Output shaft: transmits the decelerated motion to the laser head or processing platform.
Deceleration effect: The reducer decelerates the input high-speed rotational motion, thereby providing greater torque, allowing the laser to move more stably when cutting or engraving.
Precise control: Through deceleration and increased torque, the movement and positioning of the laser can be more precise, which helps to improve processing quality and reduce errors.
During the laser cutting process, the reducer is used to move the laser head along a complex path to achieve fine cutting.
During the engraving and marking process, the stable and adjustable movement provided by the reducer makes the engraving more precise.
When using lasers for welding, marking and other processing, the reducer helps to achieve continuous and smooth movement.
The normal working state of laser reducer (generally refers to laser in laser cleaning equipment or laser cutting equipment) can be judged by the following steps.
Beam quality: Check whether the laser beam is stable and whether the color and shape of the laser beam are normal. Generally speaking, the laser beam should be a single color and uniform spot.
Laser intensity: If conditions permit, use a power meter to measure the laser output power to ensure that it is within the expected range.
Run test: Start the laser and perform a short-term run test to observe whether it can emit laser correctly, and the laser emission frequency and mode should be consistent with the equipment settings.
Check the cooling system: Ensure that the cooling system is working properly to avoid overheating that causes laser power reduction or equipment damage.
Cutting/cleaning effect: Perform actual operation to check whether the equipment is ideal during cleaning or cutting. For example, whether the depth and quality of surface cleaning or cutting are as expected.
Speed and power settings: Ensure that the speed and power settings of the equipment match the material and process requirements.
Monitor the status indicator on the device dashboard to check for red alarms or fault warnings. If so, refer to the device manual for troubleshooting.
Check the maintenance records of the equipment to ensure that necessary maintenance and inspections are carried out on time to avoid performance degradation due to equipment aging or wear.
Mirrors and lenses: Regularly check whether the optical components of the laser (such as mirrors, lenses, etc.) are clean and have scratches or dirt, which will seriously affect the quality and effect of the laser.
Laser channel: Ensure that the laser channel is free of obstacles and kept clean to prevent reflection distortion or light loss.
Ensure that the laser equipment operates within the recommended temperature and humidity range. Too high or too low environmental conditions may affect the performance of the equipment.
Check whether the running program and parameter settings are correct to ensure that they are consistent with the actual process.
Through the above steps, you can more comprehensively judge the working status of the laser reducer (or laser). If any problems are found during the inspection, it is recommended to contact the equipment supplier or professional technicians for repair and adjustment in time to ensure the safe and effective operation of the equipment. Regular inspection and maintenance are very important to ensure the normal operation of the laser reducer.
