Pre-Startup Checks for Laser Cutting Machine

Laser cutting machines are widely used in metal processing, electronics manufacturing, aerospace, and other fields. Their high efficiency and precision greatly enhance production efficiency. However, stable operation of the equipment relies on daily maintenance and inspection. Before each startup, operators must follow standard procedures to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the machine. Below are the key pre-startup inspection steps for laser cutting machines.

Power Supply and Circuit Check

Before starting the machine, check whether the power supply is properly connected, ensure stable voltage, and confirm that the power cables and terminals are secure and undamaged. This prevents equipment damage or safety accidents caused by power failures.

Gas Supply and Cooling System Check

Verify that the gas supply pressure meets the equipment requirements and inspect the gas lines for leaks. Additionally, check whether the cooling system is functioning properly and ensure that water temperature and flow are within the specified range to prevent laser damage due to overheating.

Laser and Optical Path Check

Inspect the laser to ensure it starts normally and maintains stable output power. Also, check optical components such as mirrors and focus lenses for cleanliness and dust-free conditions. Adjust the optical path to ensure accurate laser beam transmission.

Machine Bed and Transmission Components Check

Examine the guide rails, ball screws, and gears of the cutting machine to ensure proper lubrication and smooth operation without abnormal noise. Additionally, confirm that the worktable is clean and level to prevent material issues during cutting.

Operating System and Software Check

After powering on, verify that the control system is functioning properly, the software is correctly loaded, and the parameters meet processing requirements. Ensure that cutting files are error-free to maintain cutting quality.

Safety Protection Measures Check

Confirm that safety doors, emergency stop buttons, and protective covers are functioning correctly to prevent accidents caused by improper operation. Operators should also wear appropriate protective equipment, such as safety goggles and gloves.

Huawei Laser reminds you: Strictly following these inspection steps can significantly reduce equipment failure rates, improve cutting accuracy and production efficiency, and ensure operator safety. Enterprises should regularly train operators to enhance equipment maintenance and safety awareness, achieving stable and efficient production goals.
