There are many types of lenses used in fiber laser cutting machines, such as focusing lenses and protective lenses. During their operation, they may inevitably be contaminated, such as water pollution or dust pollution. Therefore, in daily maintenance, it is necessary to clean the laser lenses to ensure the stability of the laser cutting machine. Of course, cleaning lenses is not like cleaning glasses in our daily lives, and special attention needs to be paid. This article explains the correct cleaning method for laser lenses in fiber laser cutting machines.
The only purpose of cleaning lenses is to remove contaminants from the lenses and not cause further contamination or damage to them. During the installation and cleaning process of the lens, any sticking material will increase the absorption rate of the lens and reduce its service life. Therefore, specific preventive measures must be taken.
Preventive measures:
1. Never install lenses with bare fingers. Fingertips or rubber gloves should be worn.
2. Do not use sharp instruments to avoid scratching the surface of the lens.
3. When removing the lens, do not touch the film layer, but hold the edge of the lens.
4. The lenses of the fiber laser cutting machine should be placed in a dry and clean place for inspection and cleaning. A good workbench surface should have several layers of cleaning tissues and several sheets of cleaning lens cotton paper.
5. Users should avoid speaking above the lenses and keep food, beverages, and other potential pollutants away from the work environment.
