Why should the laser cutting machine add antifreeze when the cold wave strikes? If don't add antifreeze? The following small series to popular science: laser cutting machine does not add antifreeze will produce what hazards and consequences.
For example:
1. Cold water pump.
2. The metal head is frozen and cracked.
3. The cutting head is frozen and cracked.
4. The optical fiber output head is frozen and cracked.
5. The internal waterway of the laser is frozen and cracked.
Why the laser freeze?
Anti freezing measures for laser are the most important in the maintenance of laser cutting equipment in winter. When the temperature is lower than 0 degree , the liquid water condenses into solid, and the volume of ice will be larger than that of water, which will "crack" the pipelines, joints and components in the laser water cooling system. Including water cooler, cutting head, etc.
If left unchecked, the severe cold climate will cause irreparable damage to the equipment. Especially for the last two parts, the maintenance cost is 20000-50000 at the beginning, and the most important one is directly scrapped, which has no maintenance value.
Every winter, major manufacturers will receive a lot of lasers and cutting heads repaired due to freezing. The biggest headache is that the damage caused by freezing crack is not within the scope of the manufacturer's service warranty.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary losses and troubles, remind all "good machine friends" to add antifreeze according to the manufacturer's requirements and take protective measures.
