3.3.2 nozzle function and cental adjustment

3.3.2.1 nozzle function and adjustment


3.3.2.1.1 nozzle function
The design of nozzle and jet flow, directly affect the cutting quality. The
manufacturing precision of the nozzle, is closely related to the cutting quality.
Nozzle's main functions are:
1) To prevent cutting fused stains damaged focus lens and rebound
upwards into the cutting head of debris.
2) Nozzel can change the cutting gas, control the size area of the gas
diffusion and, thus affect the cutting quality. Figure 3-7 is the install nozzle
and not install nozzle, gas jet.

Without nozzle with nozzle


Figure 3-7

3.3.2.1.2 Laser and nozzel adjustment


Adjust nozzel make laser through from nozzle center, details ways as
below:
a)Put nozzle move to cutting height
b)Scrible on the surface of nozzle, then put white no-dry adhesive tape
on the surface.
c)Adjust laser imput power 20w--150w. After laser out of light stop, put
no-dry aedhesive tape off, attention not move its relevent position. If
distence between nozzle postion and laser center has a big different,
no-dry adhesive tape will not open centel hole; due to laser cental is
fixed, then needs adjust bolt on the adjustment mirror cell handle to
change the focus cental, make it coinside with laser cental. Above
action again, until laser on the white no-dry adhesive tape open the

32
G.Weike Laser
Profession Laser Manufactory more than 13 Years. www.wklaser.com

hole with nozzle cental coinside, then confirm coinside laser cental
with nozzle center.
3.3.2.2 Nozzle's influence on the cutting quality and the selection of
nozzle aperture nozzle
a) Connection of nozzle and cutting quality
nozzle center is not concentric with the center of the laser, the effects of
cutting quality:
1) affect the cutting section, when the cutting gas spewing, cause uneven
gas, make the cutting section is prone to side has fused stains, on the
other side of the phenomenon of no, or parts of all round quality is
inconsistent, sometimes resulting in not normal cut.
2) Quality of impact Angle, the cutting Angle or the Angle of minor
artifacts, prone to partial melting phenomenon, cutting plate, may not
be able to cut.
3) When impact perforation, perforation is not stable, time is not easy to
control, penetrates the cause of the thick plate is so fusion, and
penetrates the condition is not easy to master, less influence on the
perforated plate.
To sum up, the center of the nozzle and the concentricity of the laser is one
of the important factors that cause cutting quality, especially when cutting
the workpiece is thicker, its influence is even greater. So we must adjust
the nozzle center and laser concentricity, in order to obtain better cutting
section.
Note: nozzle deformation or the nozzle melt stains, its influence on cutting
quality such as described above, therefore, the nozzle should be carefully
placed, may not be so as not to cause deformation that touch an injury; The
nozzle with some melting stains should be clear in time. The quality of the
nozzle is of high accuracy requirements in the manufacture, installation
method is correct. If due to the poor quality of the nozzle to change the terms,
cutting the nozzle should be timely replacement.

33

b) Selection of nozzle pore diameter

Nozzle diameter has φ1.5mm 、 φ2.0mm 、 φ2.5mm 、


φ3.0mm, .etc.Three-dimensional cutting sheet, commonly used φ1.2mm 、
φ1.5mm. The difference are:
1)Under 2mm plate:use φ1.2mm, cut surface is fine; use φ1.5mm, cut
surface coarser.
2) More than 2 mm thick plate: because of the high cutting power, cooling
time is relatively long, relatively cutting time also increases. Use φ1.2mm.
Gas diffusion area is small, so is not so stable when used. With φ1.5mm, large
gas diffusion area, gas flow velocity is slow, so the cutting is stable.
To sum up, the size of the nozzle aperture has serious effect on cutting
quality, perforation quality, at present, a lot of 3 d laser cutting use from
φ1.2mm、φ1.5mm diameter of nozzle.
Nozzle aperture, the greater, relative protection for the lens is poor, because
when cutting sparks of melt, play up the risk is very big, makes the life of the
lens is shorter.

3.3.3 Adjusting laser beam focus


During laser cutting process, relative location between laser beam focus and
cutting materials surface has big influence on cutting effect. It is very import to
adjust the focus position. This kind laser cutting machine is equipped with
automatic following adjusting device, when material height changes, control
system could adjust automatically to make sure the distance between nozzle
and material is constant, the focus position steady.
Manual adjustment method, adjust the adjusting nut at button of laser head,
make the focus position meet the needs of cutting. On condition that, find the
zero focus position. During cutting process, it is possible to adjust cutting
height slightly according to adjusting operating board height to adjust rotary
knob. It needs the very professional stuff to adjust the height during cutting
process.
Adjust the focus automatically, it is equipped with auto adjusting laser head,

34
G.Weike Laser
Profession Laser Manufactory more than 13 Years. www.wklaser.com

it can adjust focus position automatically according to the setting parameter.


Advantage of it is improving working efficiency, and it could make up the
changes of focus position caused by changes of optical path.
3.3.3.1 Method to find focus position
Use triangular block to find focus (also could sue slant wood board instead)
A) Put one flat plate on working table, and put one fixed block with a hard
board to form the three-legged structure. See picture 3-8

picture 3-8: Adjusting laser focus 1

B) Take down the nozzle, adjusting nut to the lowest place of focus position,
move Z axis and adjust Z axis height, fallen height can not intervene the
triangular block.
C) Input execution find focus program, at this time not change Z axis height
and move Y axis, the output laser will form burning-out trace on triangular
block. The smallest burning-out is the focus of the laser. See picture 3-9:

Picture 3-9: Adjusting laser focus 2

D) Install the nozzle, move Y axis to make cutting nozzle center to the above
position of focus, Available to use red light as auxiliary. Manually adjust the
focus adjusting nut to make cutting month close to the boar. The position that
cutting head scale showed that is the zero focus position. Keep in mind of this.
See picture 3-10:

Picture 3-10: Adjusting laser focus 3


E) Focus setting principle: distance between cutting month and material
surface is A, it is called nozzle cutting height or punch height. Focus position
definition: distance between focus to material above surface, see picture 3-11,

3.4 Laser cutting process principle


Laser cutting is an advanced and widely applied cutting technology in
material processing. It used high energy density of laser beam as “cutting tool”
for hot cutting of the material. Adopting laser cutting technology could achieve
all kinds of metal cutting, non-metal cutting and composite material cutting.
Widely used in every aspect.

3.4.1 Laser cutting principle


Laser cutting is the use of the focus’ high power, high density of laser beam
artifacts, cause the place material rapidly melting, gratification, ablation, or
reach the ignition point, at the same time with the aid of high-speed airflow and
beam coaxial purify molten material, so as to realize start cutting, laser cutting
is one of the hot cutting method.
3.4.1.1 Main mode of laser cutting
laser fusion cutting and laser oxygen cutting
laser fusion cutting
laser fusion cutting is with laser heating melt metal materials, and then through
the nozzle with beam coaxial injection of oxidizing gas (N2, Ar, He, etc.) rely on
the strong pressure of the gas to liquid metal, forming slot. Laser fusion cutting
does not need to make the metal completely vaporized, the laser energy
required is only about ten molecule vaporizing cutting, about107W/cm2.
1), laser beam to the surface, in addition to the reflection loss, the remaining
energy is absorbed and heated evaporation materials into holes;
2), once the holes forming, it as a black body to absorb all the beam energy,
small hole is surrounded by a wall of molten metal, relying on the high speed
air flow, melt wall remained relatively stable;
3), melt isotherm artifacts, rely on the secondary air injection pressure, made
melt materials blow away;
4), with the work-piece or cutting head movement, small transverse and cut

37
G.Weike Laser
Profession Laser Manufactory more than 13 Years. www.wklaser.com

into a seam, continue along the seam at the forefront of laser beam irradiation,
the melt material in continuous or pulse from the seam was blown off.
For sheet material, cutting speed too slow will make the most of the laser
beam directly through incision throw energy, speed increase more beam
material, increase the coupling power and material, to obtain wider parameter
adjustment to ensure the quality of cutting area, to the thick plate material, due
to the laser evaporation or melt products cannot move fast enough, beam on
the material aspect in the slot many reflect, as long as melt producer before
remove were cool air, cutting process will keep.
All laser cutting edges are striped, its reason is:
①、cutting process started in the cause of oxygen combustion power value,
and stop at lower power levels;
②、cutting section is so steep that the power density on it cannot continue
to maintain the melting process, and the cut surface forming steps, make the
cut surface in the process of cutting intermittently forward;
③、cutting reflect or absorb plasma or smoke can cause intermittent effect.
laser oxygen cutting principle is similar to the oxyacetylene cutting, it is to use
laser as a heating source, with oxygen reactive gas as cutting gas. on the one
hand ,out of gas and metal effect, oxidation reaction, release a large amount of
heat oxidation; On the other hand the molten oxide and melt blown out from
the reaction zone, form the incision in the metal. The brief analysis of as
following:
1) Under laser irradiation,the surface of material is heated to the ignition
temperature,then it acted with Oxygen,acting Violent oxidation
reaction,releasing quantity of heat. Under the influence of the heat ,the
inside of the material formed holes with steam. Around the holes is
surround by the melting metal-wall.
2) The flowing of the steam makes the melting metal-wall move forward
and the occur heat and mass transfer.
3) The rate of oxidation about oxygen and metal is controlled by Oxidation
mass transferring into molten slag, and also the speed of the oxygen
through molten slag to reach the ignition front.
4) The speed of flowing oxygen faster ,the speed of the burning reaction
and wipping off material higher. Meanwhile, also contributing the
reaction product of the slit outlet -rapid cooling oxide.
5) Obviously, the two heat source of oxygen to help cut: laser energy and

38
G.Weike Laser
Profession Laser Manufactory more than 13 Years. www.wklaser.com

oxygen-metal exothermic reaction, a rough estimate, cutting carbon


steel, oxidation reaction to provide energy for about 60% of all cutting
energy, obviously, compared with an inert gas, auxiliary gas oxygen do
high speed can be obtained.
6) Oxygen combustion rate is higher than the beam speed when the slot
width and coarse:laser beam speed is greater than the oxygen
combustion rate, narrow kerf width, smooth, faster, mutate to cut.
7) Because of oxidation reaction heat of large role, the purity of oxygen
and the quality of the plate have serious influence on the quality of the
cutting. Laser oxygen cutting mainly uses in easy oxidation of metal
materials such as carbon steel , as well as stainless steel, but the
cutting section is black and coarse, and the cost is lower than inert gas
cutting.
3.4.1.2 The feature of laser cutting
Laser cutting compared with other methods of thermal cutting, the general
feature is faster speed and higher quality. Specific summarized as the
following several aspects:
1) Good cutting quality
Because of the small laser spot, high energy density, fast cutting speed, the
laser cutting can obtained the better gutting quality.
2) The slit of laser cutting is narrow, the surface of the slit parallel and has a
perfect vertical degree, The size of the cutting parts reach high accuracy.
Cutting surface is smooth, clan and beautiful , even can be used as the last
procedure, without mechanical processing, parts can be used directly.
3) After laser cutting, the width of the heat affected zone is small, the material
performance around the kerf is hardly affected, and the work-piece
deformation is small, high cutting accuracy.

The comparison of laser cutting, water cutting, oxyacetylene cutting and


plasma cutting are in the following table. The cutting material is 6mm mild steel
carbon plate.

4) Fast cutting speed, e.g. The cutting speed of 2500w laser cutting 1mm of
thick cold rolled carbon steel plate can be up to 16-19m|min.
5) None-contact cutting , laser cutting nozzle and the work-piece out of contact,
avoiding the tool wear.
3.4.1.3 Laser cutting technology analysis
Laser cutting is the combination of melting and vaporization process. Many
factors can affect the cutting quality,.In addition to the machine parameters,
processing material,there are many other factors briefly as follows:
i) The choice of the perforated inside makes determine the position
according to actual circumstance.
j) The choice of electrodes, angle, length etc.
k) Material utilization and thermal effect of setting the rational space between
parts and plate spacing.
l) Considering the thermal deformation of machining path choice.
m) The reasonable application of the micro arc chamfering.
We should sum up experience according to the actual production, choose the
best according to the parts reasonably.

3.4.2 The selection of laser cutting speed


The selection of laser cutting speed is determined by the cutting plate
material ,the thickness of the plate. Different cutting speed can have great
impact on laser cutting quality. Select the appropriate cutting speed can get a
better cutting quality.

Here are the influence of different cutting speed on cutting quality is


discussed :
3.4.2.1 How to determine the cutting feed speed

40
G.Weike Laser

Judging from cutting sparks can feed rate, screw down on general spark
cutting by diffusion, if a spark, the feed speed is too fast; If the spark present
non-proliferation and less, together, then feed speed is too slow. Appropriate
cutting speed, as shown below figure 3-14, cut surface has a smooth line, and
the second part of generating melt stains.

Figure 3-14:cutting speed and cutting sparks renderings

3.4.2.2 The influence of cutting feed speed on cutting quality


3.4.2.2.1 The influence of cutting feed speed too fast on cutting quality
1) May cause can’t cutting , sparks
2) Some areas can be cut off, but some are not
3) Cause the whole cutting section rougher
4) As shown, cutting feed speed too fast cause cause the plate can’t be
cut off in time, cutting section present article diagonal lines, and the
second part melting stains. As shown in figure 3-15

Figure 3-15:cutting rendering

3.4.2.2.2 The influence of cutting feed speed too slow on cutting quality

41
G.Weike Laser
Profession Laser Manufactory more than 13 Years. www.wklaser.com

1) Cause extreme cutting plate welding, cutting section is coarser


2) Will widen accordingly, kerf width in smaller rounded or pointed position caused
the whole area melted, can’t get the ideal cutting result.
3) The low cutting efficiency affect production capacity.

3.4.3 The choice of laser cutting gas and pressure


According to the different cutting plate material, laser cutting select the different
cutting gas. The choice of cutting gas and pressure have a great influence on
cutting quality.

Cutting gas mainly: combustion and heat dissipation, timely blow molten stains
produced by cutting, and prevent the cutting of molten stains to rebound into
the nozzle, protecting the focusing lens.
A) Influence of cutting gas and pressure on cutting quality
1) Cutting gas helps to heat and melt blown combustion, stains, so as to get
better quality of the cutting section
2) When the pressure of the cutting gas is insufficient, the cutting quality can
be influenced by the following factors: the melt stain, the cutting speed. Could
not meet the impact of production efficiency
3) When the cutting gas pressure is too high, the impact on the quality of
cutting: the cutting surface is rough, and the cutting seam is wide; at the same
time, it can cause the cutting section to melt, which can not form a good cutting
section.
B) Effect of pressure on the perforation of cutting gas
1) When the gas pressure is too low, the laser is not easy to cut through the
42
G.Weike Laser
Profession Laser Manufactory more than 13 Years. www.wklaser.com

cutting board, the drilling time increases, resulting in low productivity


2) When the gas pressure is too high, causing the penetration point melting,
forming a larger melting point, thereby affecting the quality of cutting
3) When the laser is punched, the high gas pressure is generally adopted to
the thin plate piece, and the punching method of the thick plate is adopted,
which can eliminate the adverse factors of the low pressure to protect the lens.
4) Laser cutting machine in cutting ordinary carbon steel, the thickness of the
material is thicker, the pressure of cutting gas is relatively lower, while in
cutting stainless steel, cutting gas pressure is relatively speaking with the
thickness of the material increased.
In a word, laser cutting when the cutting gas and the selection of pressure,
must according to actual condition to adjust during cutting, in specific
applications need to choose different cutting parameters according to the
specific situation.

3.4.4 The influence of laser cutting power in cutting quality


When laser cutting, laser power size selection on cutting quality also affected,
cutting power can be determined according to the thickness of the plate
material and plate cutting. Power is too large or too small are unable to get
good cutting section
A) when laser power is too small, it will could not cut
B) When the laser power is too large, the whole cutting surface melting, too
large, too large, can not get a good cutting quality.
C) When the laser power set is not enough, it will produce cutting and fusing,
cutting the section to produce the tumor scar.
So set the appropriate laser power, with appropriate cutting gas and pressure,
can get a good cutting quality, no melt stains produced
In order to facilitate customers faster and better learning process adjustment,
we have a general summary of the various factors affecting the quality of the
adjustment and improvement method, please refer to Appendix 2

5.3.3 Open the steps of cleaning lenses


Different lenses, cleaning methods are different. When the mirror surface is
flat and no mirror, use the lens cleaning paper, such as clean the mirror; When
the mirror surface is curved or mirror with mirror, should use clean cotton
swabs, such as clean the optics.
 Clean the lens with lens paper steps: with a clean air spray gun blew the
dust off the lens surface; Using alcohol to clean the surface of the lens or
lens paper, avoid by all means use dry lens paper directly drag on the
mirror, and lens paper should be flat on the surface of the lens, 2 ~ 3 drops
of high purity alcohol or high purity acetone, slowly in the direction of the
operator will lens paper horizontally, the movement for several times
repeatedly, until the mirror surface clean; If the mirror is very dirty, lens
paper can be folded in half 2 ~ 3 times, the above steps again and again,
until the mirror clean.
 Cotton swab to clean the lens of the steps: first use spray gun to blow off
the dust on the mirror; Again with a clean cotton swab to remove dirt; With
new stained with high purity alcohol or acetone swabs from the lens center
along the circular motion, scrub lenses, each brush after a week, in
another clean cotton swabs, repeat the above operation, until the lens
clean, don't use have used cotton swabs to operate; With a clean cloth to
clean the lens, remove residual marks on the mirror, be careful not to

cleaning, antirust processes for the rusty parts(if conditions permit. You can
add one dust-cover on the parts). In addition, please check and clean the
machine regularly.

5.5 Machinery Lubrication

5.5.1 Lubrication of gear and rack


 Use rustinibitor(WD-40) to clean up the gear and rack
 Use hand spray type butter(dinosaurs 192) to lubricate the gear and rack

5.5.2 Linear slide rail lubrication


 With the grease gun(R-301),put the lithium base grease(MP-3) into the
centralized lubrication. As you know, without lubrication , there will be
much friction on the linear slide rail , and this will reduce the slide rail’s
lifetime
 The grease for linear slide rail and chain sprocket is lithium grease, we
suggest you to use “Jinguan Lithim grease MP-3”.With grease gun to inject
grease into the slider(In addition, because of the structure--the linear guide
rail is sealed in the dust-cover’s bellows,we need open the dust-cover’s
bellows when you inject the grease)
