Recommended Shutdown Procedure for Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

To ensure long-term stability and prevent equipment damage or safety hazards, it is essential to follow the correct shutdown procedure for a fiber laser cutting machine. Below are the recommended steps and important precautions:

Turn Off the Gas Supply and Release Residual Gas

After completing all cutting tasks, first turn off the gas supply system. Then, click the “Blow” button again to discharge any remaining gas from the pipeline to prevent pressure buildup or contamination.

Protect the Cutting Head Nozzle

Attach adhesive tape under the nozzle of the cutting head to prevent dust and particles in the air from entering. This helps keep the optical path clean and prolongs the service life of the cutting head.

Move the Axes to the Center Position

Move both the X-axis and Y-axis to the center of the machine bed. This prevents the transmission shafts from deforming under gravity over time, ensuring cutting precision and mechanical stability.

Turn Off the Power in Order

As shown in the diagram, turn off the following devices in sequence:

Laser source

Chiller

Drive switch

Following the proper shutdown order protects the electrical system and laser components from power surges or abrupt shutdowns.

Close the Control Software and Computer

After powering down the equipment, close the control software and then shut down the computer. This ensures all operational data is saved properly and prevents software or system errors.

Inspect the Surrounding Area

Finally, check the area around the machine. Make sure there are no flammable materials or heat sources nearby to prevent fire hazards and ensure a safe working environment.

Conclusion:

By following the correct shutdown procedure, you can effectively protect the critical components of your fiber laser cutting machine, enhance its operational stability, and ensure safe and efficient performance for future use.
