Daily Maintenance Guidelines for Tor Laser Cutting Machines
1. Lubricating Linear Guide Rails
Smoke and dust generated during laser cutting machine operation can corrode guide rails, necessitating regular maintenance. Turn off the laser cutting machine's power supply. Clean the guide rails thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Apply lubricating oil to the rails. After oiling, roll the slider back and forth along the rails to ensure the lubricant penetrates the slider mechanism. After lubricating, roll the slider back and forth along the guide rails. At this stage, first install the guide rails. When installing, do not secure them initially. Instead, insert all fixing pins to maintain levelness. Then secure the belt and slider, followed by installing the lens. Adjust the X-axis alignment to complete the setup.
2. Cleaning Reflectors and Focusing Lenses
After prolonged use, smoke and dust accumulate on mirror surfaces, compromising engraving/cutting depth and precision. Clean all three reflectors and one focusing lens thoroughly with anhydrous alcohol approximately weekly (based on usage frequency).
3. Lubricating Bearings
Laser cutting machines utilize numerous bearings. To ensure optimal cutting and engraving performance, certain bearings require periodic lubrication (excluding oil-impregnated bearings). Use a clean soft cloth to remove surface dust from the bearings. Draw machine oil into a syringe, then slowly inject it into the bearing using the needle tip while gently rotating the bearing.
4. Adjusting Belt Tension
The drive system contains multiple synchronous belts. If too loose, engraved text may appear blurred; if too tight, the belts will wear excessively. After extended use, adjust the tension screws to achieve optimal belt tension. The engraved text should be clear without blurring, and the laser cutting machine should operate with minimal noise. Alternatively, consult the manufacturer's technical support.
5. Laser Tube Maintenance
The laser tube in the cutting machine uses circulating water for cooling. Over time, white scale deposits may form inside the tube. To remove these deposits, add a small amount of vinegar to the circulating water. Afterward, flush the interior thoroughly with clean water. This process restores the laser tube to optimal working condition and extends its service life.
