To ensure stable operation of the fiber laser cutting machine and a clean working environment, exhaust system maintenance is crucial. Regular cleaning of the exhaust duct is a crucial step that cannot be ignored. As cutting operations continue, metal dust, smoke particles, and other residues gradually accumulate inside the ducts, seriously affecting exhaust efficiency.
Ⅰ. Why Clean the Exhaust Duct?
When exhaust ducts are clogged or partially clogged with dust, the following problems may occur:
Fume cannot be effectively exhausted from the cutting area, affecting operator visibility.
Internal component temperatures rise, increasing equipment wear.
Dust accumulation can pose a fire hazard.
Laser lens contamination reduces cutting quality.
Exhaust system load increases, increasing energy consumption.
Ⅱ. Recommended Cleaning Methods
1. Regular Inspection: Inspect the exhaust duct weekly for obvious blockages or dust accumulation.
2. Scheduled Cleaning: Thoroughly clean the duct at least monthly, depending on frequency of use.
3. Use Appropriate Tools: Use an industrial vacuum cleaner or air compressor to blow out and clean dust from the ducts.
4. Perform filter maintenance simultaneously: While cleaning the ducts, inspect and clean or replace the filters to ensure optimal ventilation.
5. Check the exhaust fan: Regularly check the fan for proper operation and clean the blades as necessary to prevent malfunctions caused by increased resistance.
Maintaining a clean exhaust system not only extends the life of the equipment but also improves cutting efficiency and operational safety.
