Laser Cutting Machine Lens Protection And Water Mist Problem Treatment

In the working process of a laser cutting machine, a protective lens plays a very important role. It protects the safety of the components inside the laser head. Yet, some users reported that water mist appeared on the lens during the use of the laser machine. What is going on? Let's analyze this problem next!

Analysis Of The Cause Of The Water Mist Problem

When using a laser cutting machine, auxiliary gas is often needed. Auxiliary gas can usually help us achieve a better cutting effect. Also using auxiliary gas in the gas tank, air can also be used to assist in cutting. There is a small amount of water and oil in the air. If it is not treated, it will cause lens contamination or water mist on the protective lens.

The Role And Importance Of Protective Gas

In the laser-cutting process, the role of protective gas cannot be ignored:

• It can blow away the smoke and waste generated by cutting and keep the cutting area clean.
• It can effectively achieve the effect of a smooth cutting surface, no burrs and no slag, and achieve precision cutting
• It can react with the material to increase the cutting speed. For example, using oxygen can achieve the effect of combustion.

How To Avoid Lens Mist

• Control the humidity of the working environment: Equip a dryer to reduce the humidity in the air.
• Clean the lens regularly: Use professional cleaners and tools to clean the lens surface regularly to remove pollutants and dust.
• Use high-quality protective gas: Select appropriate protective gas to ensure the cleanliness of the cutting area and the cooling of the lens.

How To Solve The Problem Of Water Mist

When the lens of the laser cutting machine has water mist, the following measures can be taken to solve it:

• Suspend work: First, the work of the laser cutting machine should be suspended and wait for the water mist on the lens surface to dissipate naturally.
• Check the cooling system: Check whether the cooling system is working properly. If there is a fault, it should be repaired in time.
• Clean the lens: Use professional cleaners and tools to clean the lens surface to remove pollutants and dust.
• Adjust the working environment: If the humidity in the working environment is too high, measures should be taken to reduce the indoor humidity.

The above measures can effectively solve the problem of water mist on the laser cutting machine lens and ensure the normal operation and cutting quality of the equipment.
