If you decide to operate the laser die cutting machine in-house, there are many performance conditions and maintenance issues unique to laser machines.Laser die cutting machines use light instead of hard tools and hard steel blades. Therefore, your materials will react differently, and the by-products (smoke, particulate matter) in operation require different installation requirements and ventilation.

1.Temperature Control

A temperature controlled environment with low humidity is most conducive to obtaining the best laser stability. Lasers like to stay at ambient temperature, because unlike metal tools, lasers have some high-tech components in the laser cavity that are more sensitive to heat.

2. Space Requirements

Laser machines usually use an external air-water cooler, which must be placed near the machine. The chiller will radiate heat to the surrounding area, so you need to consider expelling the hot air from the building; laying hard pipes for the equipment; appropriately sized water pipes; and leaving appropriate gaps around the cooler to ensure functional stability.

For waste collection, the laser machine may also require a waste collection roller. You need pipes from the machine to the drum; from the drum to the blower; from the blower to the outside. If the exhaust to the outside is long, an additional auxiliary blower may be required.

3.Preventive maintenance

We talked about the need for an annual preventive maintenance (PM) plan. An effective PM should include at least:


Fluid replacement and filter replacement
Pneumatic filter replacement
Optical path inspection
Clean and align
Laser health check

4.Proficient in CAD

The laser relies on a CAD-based interface to generate and process artwork. You need someone who is proficient in CAD to create the drawing, and then you can program it into the software of the laser die cutting machine.
