Special antifreeze knowledge for laser cutting machines

The winter climate is cold, and we need to master more anti freezing techniques for fiber laser cutting machines. Here is an introduction for everyone.
If the laser cutting machine is not used for a long time, as long as the cooling water has entered the area, especially the cooling water in the laser cavity and pipeline, it must be thoroughly drained.
It is recommended to turn on the laser cutting machine in use 24 hours a day to ensure internal circulation of cooling water.
Attention: The function of antifreeze is to assist in antifreeze, and it cannot be used for heating or insulation. In areas with low temperatures, attention should be paid to equipment protection to avoid unnecessary losses.
1： Why does the winter laser cutting machine add antifreeze instead of water
92% to 98% of the components in antifreeze are ethylene glycol (ethylene glycol and ethanol are two completely different components). Currently, more than 95% of water-based antifreeze solutions using ethylene glycol are used domestically and internationally. Compared with tap water, ethylene glycol is more prominent in terms of antifreeze, and water cannot prevent it from freezing. Secondly, ethylene glycol has a high boiling point, low volatility, moderate viscosity, and little temperature variation, resulting in good thermal stability. Therefore, ethylene glycol type antifreeze is an ideal coolant.
2： Can antifreeze be mixed with water?
Antifreeze solution needs to be diluted before use, and deionized water can be added for dilution. The freezing point varies depending on the concentration. During the preparation process, the actual temperature should be taken into account to meet the requirements of frost resistance and economy
3： Can car antifreeze be used?
Because the two antifreeze functions target different liquids, laser cutting machines and automotive antifreeze are also different. Automotive antifreeze is a directly prepared mixture, and its components are also complex compared to cutting machine antifreeze. The antifreeze required for laser cutting machines requires the use of deionized water to mix according to the local temperature. Direct use of automotive antifreeze can cause certain damage to the equipment.

With the acceleration of modern industrialization, the application of laser technology has gradually matured, and fiber laser cutting machines are one of the laser products. For new users who may have some doubts, Baiwei Laser will provide you with an answer below.

The purpose and application range of laser cutting machines

Laser cutting uses a beam of light instead of traditional mechanical knives for processing. It has the characteristics of high accuracy, fast cutting, not limited to cutting pattern limitations, automatic layout saving materials, smooth cuts, and low processing costs.

Why is it not recommended to purchase a second-hand laser cutting machine?

The lifespan of the fiber laser is lost, the laser power decreases, and the cutting efficiency decreases. Laser, as one of the core components of laser cutting machines, is very expensive. The laser power of a laser cutting machine that has been used for a long time will gradually decay. If this laser cutting machine is used for a long time, the laser power may weaken significantly. If the laser power decreases, the cutting thickness decreases, and the cutting speed will also decrease accordingly. The cost of replacing the laser is significant.

How to choose auxiliary gas for fiber laser cutting machines?

Laser cutting machines have broken traditional processing methods and are widely used in various industries with new cutting methods. Users who understand fiber laser cutting machines should know that they often use auxiliary gas during the cutting process, which is why many people are more concerned about the issue of "gas".

How to choose a laser cutting machine

Before deciding to purchase equipment, it is important to clarify one's own processing needs, processing materials, thickness, format, and other issues. Laser cutting machines mainly have low power, medium power, high power, and newly developed ultra-high power in recent years. The size of the cutting width of the board also determines the differences in the processing table of the laser equipment. In short, it is better to choose based on one's own processing requirements.

How to maintain a laser cutting machine?

For users who have already purchased laser cutting machines, the maintenance of laser cutting machines is a matter of concern. Due to the fact that the price of a laser cutting machine ranges from tens of thousands to millions, it is truly valuable. Therefore, using a good laser cutting machine can achieve twice the result with half the effort. Maintaining a good laser cutting machine can greatly save users' usage costs.
