Common knowledge for the Maintenence of Laser engraving machine

1.Put lubricating oil GUIDE RAIL .
As we know that while we are using the laser engraving machines ,there must some smoke and dust which will harm the guide rail after a period of usage.so we have to do the daily maintenance by the following: The steps:

1)Turn off the laser engraving machine and cut the power.
2)Clean the guide rail throughtly,drop the lubricating oil there;
3)Try to move the slide rod and make sure thathe oil comes into it.
4) Do not fix the guide slide firstly.Install the screws in the right positions and keep the slide ray on the even level. And then adjust the X light.

2.Clean the Reflector and focusing mirror
The laser engraver need Cleaning and we should clean the relector and focusing mirror with the PURE alcohol weekly.

3.Oil-filling for the bearing.
In order to keep the good engraving result for the laser engraving machine,we should clean the or lubricant all the bearings. Take a piece of soft cloth and move the dust on the bearing firstly(except the oily bearings); Take a piece of injector and suck some oil inside it,then fill the bearings with the needle and move the bearing at the same time.

4.Adjustment of synchronous belt.
There are some of synchronous belts on one laser engraving machines.If all the belts are not in the same speed during working,the engraving result will be not that accurate ie.there would be fold-over on the engraved materials.

There is one standard for adjusting them well: The less noise the engraver makes,the better situation the machine is in.

5. The maintenance of the CO2 tube.
All the CO2 laser engravers are using WATER as cooling system. And as the time goes on,there will be some furrings inside the laser engraving machine’s tube. In order to make the machine works well,we can put some vinegar into the water.The vinegar will melt the furring.After that,we shall use some clean water to clean the tube.By this way,we can make the tube on the laser engraver longer.
