6 Machine Maintenance and Note

The key of normal and stable work for laser equipment is do routine maintenance and maintenance of
equipment. If it has Good maintenance not only can extend the service life of machine, reduce
equipment failure rates, but also can improve product quality. In order to use this equipment better,
please read the following brief introduction for routine maintenance of laser equipment and
precautions for reference.

6.1 Ground wire connection

As the equipment has some sensltive components such as the switching power supply, laser power

supply,filter and other components. However, in the usage of these parts will have a certain static

interference. In order to minimize static interference and reduce a series of failures caused by

static electricity, so should note the following points before installation.

6.1.1The voltage should be 220V, should install the regulator if out of range or unstable.

6.1.2 It should be “Left wire is Zero, right ware is Fire” as the standard wiring for the power plug,

and the ground wire terminal should be reliable, fully grounded. If not, should be adjusted.

6.1.3 If the customer have a reliable earth grounding (or use an iron bar with the length more than

one meter to go into the ground, fully ground). The installation for the device can be done when

the above conditions are met. Dont install too many equipment which is not related to this device

when installation because the current-carrying capacity of power strip is limited. In order to

protect the personal safety of operators and equipment to work properly, the ground wire must be

grounded reliably in any condition.

6.2 Equipment maintenance

6.2.1 Replacement of water and water tank cleaning.( Recommends cleaning the water tank and
replace the recycled water once a week)

14

Redsail Tech Co., Ltd http://www.hflaser.com

Attention: Must ensure the laser tube filled with circulating water before the machine working. The
quality and the temperature of the circulating water will affect the life of the laser tube directly,
recommend to use the pure water, and keep the temperature below 35℃. If more than 35 ℃, then the
recycled water need to be replaced or add the ice into the water to cool down the water (Recommends
that users select the water chiller, or use two water tanks).
Cleaning tank (Changing the water): Firstly turn off the power, unplug the tube inlet, let the water of
the laser tube flow into the tank automatically, unplug the water pipe and signal cable. Open the water
tank, clean out the dirt of the water chiller, replace the circulating water, connect the water pipe and
signal cable, order all joints. Turn on the power, and run for 2-3 minutes (Make sure the laser tube
filled with circulating water).

6.2.2 The cleaning of the exhausted fan

As a long time usage for the exhausted fan, will accumulate a lot of solid dust inside the fan to make
the great noise, and also it is bad for exhaust and clean the smell. When the fan have insufficient
suction and poor smoking, we should turn off the power, unload pipe inlet and outlet on the fan, clean
the dust inside, then invert the fan, and stir the fan blade, until it is cleaned up, then install the fan
well.

6.2.3 Lens cleaning (Recommend cleaning before work every day,the device must be in a shutdown
condition), there are three mirrors and one focus lens on the machine (No.1 mirror is in the exit of
laser tube (Upper left corner of the machine), No.2 mirror is in the left of crossbeam, No.3 mirror is
on the top of the fixed part of laser head, focus lens is inside the adjustable lens cone ) , Laser is
launched from the laser head by reflected through these mirrors, focused. Lens is easy to get the dust
or other contaminants, caused the laser reduction or lens damaged. Dont need to take off the No.1 and
No.2 mirrors when cleaning, just use the paper with the washing liquid to make the rotating cleaning
along with center to the edge of the lens carefully. No.3 mirror and focus lens need to be taken off
from the holder, clean them with the same way, Please put it back after cleaning.

Attention:：
(1)Should wipe the mirrors and lens slightly, dont make any damage for the coating
surface.
(2) Cleaning process should be done carefully to avoid falling.
(3) When installing the focus lens, be sure to keep convex surface downward .

 6.2.4 The cleaning of guide way（Recommend cleaning once every two weeks . Do it under shutdown
condition）Guide, linear axis as one of the core components of equipment, its function is to play the
role of guidance and supporting. In order to ensure the machine has high precision, requiring that their
guide, linear guide with high precision and good stability of the movement. During operation, due to
in the processing the working materials will have a lot of corrosive dust and smoking, these large
quantities of smoking and dust will deposit in the rails, surface of linear axis, not only great influence
for the precision of the equipment , but also the rail line shaft surface will form corrosion point,
shorten the equipment’s life. To make the machine working normally and stably, ensure the processing
quality, Routine maintenance work for the guide and linear axis should be done carefully.

Attention:：
(1) Cleaning guide: please prepare the dry cotton, lubricating oil.
(2) Cleaning of the linear guide: Firstly, move the laser head to the right side (or left side), wipe with a
dry cloth until it is shiny cleaned, plus with a little lubricating oil, push the laser head slowly several
times, let the lubricating oil scatter uniformly.

6.2.5 Tighten screws, the coupler

After working a period of time, the screws and Coupling of the moving joint will loose, it will affect
the stability of the mechanical movement, therefore, should observe if the driving components have
strange sound or abnormal phenomena when the machine runnning, to strong and maintain in time if
find any problems. While the machine is running for some time, should reinforced the screws one by
one with a tool. The first reinforcement should be done after the device running about one month.
6.2.6 Optical inspection
The optical systemfor Laser Engraving is completed by mirror’s reflection and Lens’ focus, focus lens
will not have the offset problem in the laser path , But the three mirrors is fixed by the mechanical
parts, more likely to make the offset, so recommend the user need to check the laser path before
working every time to ensure it is normal.

6.3 Equipment Notes

6.3.1 Fill the water before turnning on the machine, we should observe the circulation of the water at
any time during the machine working, to ensure that the circulating water is normal, and protect the
normal working for laser tube.
6.3.2 Follow the sequence of the machine’s power on/off: when start the machine, firstly open the water
chiller, then open the power switch, open the laser switch at last. When close the machine, firstly close
the laser switch, then close the power switch, close the water chiller at last.
6.3.3 Control the water temperature inside the laser tube, generally should not exceed 35 degrees. In
winter, when we finish working, should let out the water inside the laser tube, to prevent the laser tube
damaged by frost.
6.3.4 Keep the machine clean, especially the lens, dirty lens will affect the reflecting efficiency ,
