Laser cutting machines serve a variety of industries, for the accurate cutting of materials. Commonly laser cut materials are metals, woods, acrylics, and fabrics. There are 4 major steps to operate a laser cutting machine; preparation, setup, cutting, and post process. Each phase is important for good cutting and good operation
1. Starting the Cutting Process
When you have verified that everything is correct, you can begin to cut.
1.1 Final ChecksFinal checks for your workpiece location, cutting path and safety devices are important. Always clear the work area of any people including bystanders, you should not be cutting when there are people in the area. Check for any combustible materials in the work area, none should be present when beginning a cutting operation.
1.2 Initiating the CutTo begin the cut press the 'start' button on the control panel or press 'start' in the software as applicable.Watch for unusual noises, sparks, or smoke as these may indicate issues like misalignment or parameter errors. Use the emergency stop button immediately if a problem occurs, such as material movement or fire.
2. Post-Cutting Steps
After the cutting process is complete, several steps finalize the work.
2.1 Machine ShutdownOnce cutting finishes wait for the laser head to return to its home position. Turn off the laser generator first then auxiliary systems like cooling and exhaust and finally the main power supply.
2.2 Removing the WorkpieceCarefully remove the cut workpiece using gloves as it may be hot. Clean the worktable of debris, leftover material, or fumes.
