Fiber laser cutters are widely used in modern manufacturing and are favored for their high efficiency and precise cutting capabilities. However, in actual operation, laser cutting machines sometimes have abnormal reset problems. This not only affects production efficiency, but may also cause equipment damage. This blog will analyze the reasons for abnormal laser cutting machine reset from the aspects of hardware failure, software problems, and improper operation.
Ⅰ.The X-axis and Y-axis Move in Opposite Directions
The X-axis and Y-axis of the fiber laser cutter move in opposite directions and hit the side end. In this case, check whether the motherboard parameters are wrong and stop the machine to check whether there is a problem with the parameter settings of the motherboard.
Ⅱ.X-axis and Y-axis Do Not Move
The laser cutting machine control panel displays normally, and the X-axis and Y-axis do not move. You can try to unplug the sensor terminal of the motherboard to see if the machine moves. In this case, consider replacing the sensor.
Ⅲ. X-axis Resets and Does Not Move
The beam resets normally, and the fiber laser cutter X-axis resets and does not move. The motor wire may be broken or the motor shaft may be broken. In this case, the motor wire or small motor should be replaced. 4. The direction is correct when resetting, but when it reaches the top, the X-axis or Y-axis cannot stop (check the motherboard parameters first). If it is correct, this phenomenon requires checking the motherboard or sensor and replacing it.
Ⅳ.Hardware Failure
1.Limit switch damage:
The limit switch plays a key role in the reset process of the laser cutting machine. If the limit switch is damaged or incorrectly positioned, the machine may not be able to correctly identify the reset position, and thus fail to complete the reset operation.
2.Driver failure:
The driver of the laser cutting machine is responsible for controlling the operation of the motor. If the driver fails, the motor will not be able to operate normally, causing the reset process to freeze or be interrupted. Unstable power supply to the driver or damage to the internal components of the driver may be the root cause of the problem.
3.Motor problem:
The stepper motor or servo motor is the main actuator of the laser cutting machine. If the motor itself fails, such as overheating, wear or poor contact of the brush, it will affect the normal reset operation.
4.Mechanical parts wear or jamming:
The transmission parts of the laser cutting machine, such as belts, gears, and guide rails, may wear or accumulate dust and impurities after long-term use, resulting in mechanical jamming, affecting the accuracy and smoothness of the reset.
Ⅴ.Software Problem
1.Parameter setting error:
In the software system of the laser cutting machine, the reset-related parameters are improperly set, such as reset speed, acceleration and other parameter configuration errors, which may cause abnormal reset action. In addition, different models of machines have different requirements for parameter settings, and incorrect parameter settings will cause the machine to fail to reset normally.
2.Software failure or version problem:
Failure of the control software or incompatible versions can also cause abnormal reset of the laser cutting machine. Software errors, vulnerabilities or incompatibility with hardware may cause the reset program to fail. Regularly updating the software and checking version compatibility are important measures to avoid such problems.
Ⅵ.Improper Operation
1.Improper reset operation:
If the operator does not follow the correct steps when performing the reset operation, the reset may fail. For example, failure to clean the work surface or check the limit switch status before resetting may affect the smooth progress of the reset operation.
2.Lack of maintenance:
Laser cutting machines require regular maintenance, including cleaning, lubrication and inspection of key components. If the operator fails to perform these tasks regularly, the reset performance of the machine may be affected. Regular maintenance can not only extend the service life of the equipment, but also ensure the stability and reliability of its operation.
Ⅶ.Environmental Factors
1.Impact of working environment temperature and humidity:
The working environment temperature and humidity of the laser cutting machine have a great impact on its normal operation. Excessive temperature may cause the equipment to overheat and affect the reset operation; excessive humidity may cause electrical components to become damp and cause short circuits.
2.Unstable power supply:
Laser cutting machines have high requirements for the stability of power supply. If the power supply voltage is unstable or there are frequent voltage fluctuations, it will affect the normal operation of key components such as drivers and motors, resulting in abnormal reset operations.
Final Thoughts:
There are many reasons for abnormal laser cutting machine reset, which may involve hardware failure, software problems, improper operation, and environmental factors. To ensure the normal operation of the laser cutting machine, the equipment should be checked and maintained regularly to ensure the normal state of each component. At the same time, the operator should strictly follow the operating procedures and keep the working environment clean and stable. Only by doing these things well can we effectively avoid the problem of abnormal laser cutting machine reset, improve production efficiency, and ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
