In daily life, handicrafts and products with unique appearances and patterns can be seen everywhere, using materials such as steel, wood, plastic, glass, etc. These pleasing spoons do not require laser cutting. Laser cutting has the advantages of fast speed, narrow incision, and smooth edges. Due to the high price of cutting heads, companies often add laser protective lenses. On the other hand, while protecting the cutting head, there are also hidden dangers in protecting the lens. In the production process of laser cutting machine, the laser energy is very high and the temperature is also relatively high. If there is moisture on the protective lens, the protective lens with very high temperature will immediately explode when it encounters water. The reason for the formation of water mist is that auxiliary gases are essential in the cutting process of laser cutting machine, among which oxygen and nitrogen are commonly used. Many customers also want to save costs by using air cutting. However, there is always water mist on the protective lens during the cutting process, and the cutting quality is the worst. Why is this?

Firstly, we should promote the role of auxiliary gases:
1. To achieve the best cutting effect.
2. Metal slag is blown away by gas while protecting the lens from sticking to it.
3. It can effectively achieve the effect of smooth cutting surface, no burrs, and no slag hanging. It belongs to fine cutting.
4. Can react with materials to increase cutting speed, such as using oxygen to achieve combustion effect.

Therefore, in order to achieve better cutting results, the demand for gas is relatively high! A water cooler can force compressed air to cool below a specified dew point temperature, condensing a large amount of water vapor and oil mist into liquid droplets through gas-liquid separation to dry the compressed air.

Next, we will analyze the reasons for the rupture of the protective lens of the laser cutting machine.
1. Consider whether the auxiliary gas we blow out is pure. Is the pressure up to standard? If it is air, we must check the quality of the compressed air.
2. During the laser emission process, it is necessary to check whether the optical path is offset and whether other lenses are damaged.
3. Check if the diameter of the cutting nozzle used is too large.
4. It is necessary to check whether the time structure of all perforation and blowing cutting is reasonable.

The explosion of the protective lens of the laser cutting machine is mainly due to the above reasons. When abnormalities are found, the fault must be promptly eliminated to avoid excessive consumption of consumables. There is currently an industrial water cooler that can simultaneously cool the laser body and cutting head, effectively avoiding the formation of condensed water and better protecting the laser.

Daily maintenance is the key to extending the service life of laser cutting machine lenses. With the help of water coolers, it also helps to improve the efficiency of laser cutting machines. Analyzed the reasons for cracks in the protective lens of laser cutting machines. If you have any questions about the protection of the laser cutting machine lens cooler and need more professional operation and guidance, it is recommended that users directly contact Ruicheng Optoelectronics Technology.
