Air compressors are widely used in the laser cutting industry and are important auxiliary equipment for laser cutting machines. First, let's understand the role of air compressors in laser cutting machines. In addition, what problems should we pay attention to during use? What problems should be paid attention to in the maintenance.
1. The importance of air compressors in laser cutting machines:
When the laser cutting machine is processing, it is necessary to use protective gas. Of course, air is a simple and economical protective gas, and the function of the air compressor is to form a part of the compressed air, high-purity oxygen and high-purity nitrogen to form the cutting gas to the cutting head. As a power source, it is supplied to the cylinder of the clamping table, and the latter part is used to purge and dedust the optical path system. The compressed air discharged from the air enters the air control cabinet through the air storage tank and the dryer, and then passes through a set of precise The processing system becomes clean and dry gas, which is finally divided into three paths, which are used as cutting gas, cylinder power gas source and optical path positive pressure dust removal gas to maintain the normal operation of the laser cutting machine, so the air compressor is a must for every laser cutting equipment. Yes, it is also very important for laser cutting machines.
2. Maintenance of air compressor in laser cutting machine:
The air compressor is an integral part of the laser cutting machine system, and the following is the maintenance and maintenance work of its main components:
1. Air filter element. In general, the dust and impurities on the surface of the air filter element should be removed every 500 hours, and it should be checked every 2000 hours to see if it needs to be replaced. The inspection or replacement cycle can be extended or shortened according to the dust content.
2. Intake valve seals. Check the condition of the sealing ring every 4000 hours of operation of the air compressor of the laser cutting machine, and replace it if necessary.
3. Compressor lubricating oil. Check whether the lubricating oil is sufficient every 1000 hours, and replace the new oil every 4000 hours.
4. Oil filter. A new one should be replaced every 2000 hours.
5. Oil vapor separator. It needs to be replaced with a new one every 4000 hours.
6. Minimum pressure valve. Clean it every 4000 hours and check if the opening pressure is normal.
7. Safety valve. Check its agility every 4000 hours.
8. Drain valve. Moisture and dirt are drained every 2000 hours.
9. Transmission belt. Adjust the tightness every 2000 hours, check the wear every 4000 hours, and decide whether to replace it according to the wear.
10. Motor maintenance. Carry out maintenance according to the motor instruction manual.
