Laser Machine Maintenance in the Winter

With the arrival of winter, the temperature will gradually drop, and the ambient humidity will also drop. In such an environment, the Atomstack laser engraving machine needs more protective measures to ensure that it can operate in the correct working state. This article will introduce you to the winter protection measures for laser engraving machines.

1. Keep the indoor temperature stable
The low temperature in winter will cause the internal temperature of the Atomstack S20 Pro laser engraving machine to be too low, which will affect the normal operation of the equipment. Therefore, measures must be taken to keep the indoor temperature stable. When using the laser engraving machine in winter, it is recommended to install electric heaters or air conditioners to adjust the indoor temperature, which is best between 8-30°C.

2. Strengthen equipment maintenance
The air is dry in winter, and dust and static electricity are easy to accumulate, which poses a threat to the normal operation of the laser engraving machine. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the maintenance of equipment in winter. The equipment can be cleaned regularly to remove dust and debris and prevent dust from entering the interior of the equipment. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly check whether the protective cover and wiring of the equipment are complete, and solve any problems in time.

3. Choose the right material
Due to the dry air in winter, the moisture content of most materials will also be reduced. When using the Atomstack S30 Pro laser engraving machine, you need to pay attention to choosing the right material to avoid poor processing results due to drying of the material. Water can be sprayed on the surface of the material to increase the water content of the material, thereby improving the cutting effect of the material.

4. Avoid laser exposure to the skin
In winter, the air is dry, and human skin is more vulnerable to laser beam damage. Therefore, when using a laser engraving machine, it is necessary to avoid direct irradiation of the laser beam on the human skin, so as not to cause skin damage. At the same time, it is necessary to avoid eye damage caused by diffuse reflection, and it is necessary to wear protective glasses and other personal protective equipment.

5. Regularly check the optical path of the machine
The optical path is one of the most important components in the LaserPecker 3 laser engraving machine. In winter, the light loss rate of the optical path of the laser engraving machine will increase, and problems such as optical path pollution and optical path offset may also occur. Therefore, when using a laser engraving machine in winter, it is necessary to regularly check whether the optical path is clean and correct to ensure that the laser output is normal.

6. Avoid electrical problems
In winter, due to the influence of the weather, aging lines and other reasons, electrical problems will increase. The electrical system of the laser engraver needs to be warmed up for a certain period of time in advance to avoid damage to electrical components or reduce life. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly check whether the electrical contacts and connections are firm to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.

7. Avoid water freezing
In winter, the temperature is low, and the problem of water freezing is prone to occur. When using a laser engraving machine, it is necessary to ensure that the water does not freeze to avoid damage to the equipment. A heater or insulation material can be placed in the water tank to ensure a constant water temperature and ensure the normal operation of the laser engraving machine.

In short, when using the Ortur Laser Master 3 laser engraving machine in winter, a series of protective measures need to be taken to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and the safety of personnel. Only by strengthening maintenance and paying attention to operating procedures can laser engraving machines have problems in winter use.
