The Function, Composition and Replacement Method of Laser Ceramic Ring

In the field of laser cutting, the presence of ceramic rings is essential. Plays a key role in maintaining operational accuracy and efficiency. This blog will discuss the functions, composition, replacement methods and other information of laser ceramic rings.

1. Ceramic ring composition

Laser ceramic rings usually consist of ceramic bodies, stainless steel sheets, and copper pillars:

1.1.Ceramic ring:

The main body of the ceramic ring is usually made of zirconia or alumina. Zirconia has high cost and has the advantages of high temperature resistance, wear resistance and fall resistance, as well as high resistivity. In comparison, alumina has poor comprehensive advantages, so the replacement cycle may be more frequent.

The ceramic ring is located above the nozzle and below the sensor. It provides thermal and electrical insulation to protect the internal components of the laser system. Additionally, it helps focus and stabilize the laser beam as it passes through.

1.2.Stainless steel sheet:

The stainless steel sheet mainly plays a transmission role. The large area of the stainless steel sheet is in full contact with the nozzle, which can accurately and quickly transmit electrical signals to the copper needle.

1.3.Copper Pillars:

Copper has excellent thermal conductivity and electrical properties. It is the ideal medium for dissipating heat within the ceramic ring and providing electrical connections. It relays the electrical signals collected by the stainless steel piece to the internal transmission line of the laser head to ensure that the controller can adapt to changes.

1.4.Conductive silver glue:

Conductive silver glue is an adhesive. The function of this glue is to adhere three parts. Effective adhesion ensures the stability of the ceramic ring and overall conductivity, ensuring the safe operation of the laser head.

The combination of laser ceramic rings combines three materials: ceramic, stainless steel and copper. Optimum performance of ceramic rings is achieved by utilizing a combination of each material's unique properties.

2.Replacement and Maintenance Methods

Replacing the laser ceramic ring requires caution to avoid damage:

2.1. Power off:

Before starting the replacement, make sure the machine is turned off and completely powered off.

2.2. Remove the old ring:

First unscrew the nozzle, and then unscrew the ceramic ring lock nut. Be careful to hold your fingers against the old ceramic ring during rotation to prevent it from falling vertically.

2.3. Clean the area:

Clean before installing the new ring to remove any residue that may affect the function of the new ring.

2.4. Install the new ring:

Align the copper pillar with the sensing hole at the bottom of the cutting head. A normally aligned ceramic ring is horizontal and somewhat elastic, and cannot rotate left or right. Then press your fingers against the ceramic ring sleeve to tighten the locking nut, and finally

Then screw on the nozzle to complete the installation.

2.5. Debugging:

After the installation is completed, debug the beam path to prevent light deviation.

Check the ceramic ring regularly for any signs of wear or damage. Clean gently with a soft, lint-free cloth, avoiding materials that may scratch the surface.

3.Buying Tips

When purchasing a laser ceramic ring, you need to consider the following factors:

3.1.Compatibility:

Make sure the ring fits your specific laser machine model and configuration.

3.2.Material quality:

Choose ceramic rings in aluminum oxide material for better durability and performance.

3.3.Suppliers:

Choose reputable suppliers to avoid counterfeit or substandard products.

3.4.Specifications:

Check whether specifications such as size and resistance characteristics of the ceramic ring meet the requirements of your machine.
