Many users who have purchased laser cutting machine metal only pay attention to the maintenance of the laser and the laser head of the fiber laser metal cutter. People should pay more attention to the care of the guide rail.
What is linear guide rails
Linear guides are also called line rails, linear guide rails, and linear slide rails. They are used in linear reciprocating motion applications. They have a higher-rated load than linear bearings. At the same time, they can bear a sure torque and can achieve high Precision linear motion.
How linear rails work
The linear guide is a mechanical transmission device composed of a slider and a guide rail. Its working principle is based on the rolling contact between bearings and balls. By arranging ball bearings inside the slider and setting raceways on the guide rail, the slider can move linearly along the guide rail.
During operation, the ball bearings reduce frictional resistance through rolling contact and achieve smooth movement of the slider on the guide rail. The contact area between the balls and the raceway is small, which reduces energy loss and improves the efficiency of the system. The linear guide can also control the movement resistance and stability of the slider by adjusting the preload force to meet different work needs.
Functions of laser cutting machine linear rail guide
Plays a guiding and supporting role. In order to ensure that the machine has high processing accuracy, its guide rails and straight lines are required to have high guiding accuracy and good motion stability.
The guide rail is the guarantee of cutting accuracy. The linear guide rail plays a guiding and supporting role in the laser cutting machine. The smoother the movement of the guide rail, the higher the processing accuracy of the laser cutting machine.
The quality of the guide rail is the guarantee of the life of the equipment. The guide rail installation and adjustment of the laser cutting machine is a very important thing. The installation and adjustment of the guide rail of the cutting machine will help improve the service life and cutting accuracy of the laser cutting machine.
To make the machine work normally and stably, and to ensure the processing quality of the laser cutting machine metal, the daily maintenance of the guide rail and linear axis must be done carefully.
Step 1: Turn off the power of the fiber laser cutter
Step 2: Remove the linear guide rail and wipe the dirt on the surface of the guide rail with a dry cloth.
Step 3: Apply a little grease to the groove of the linear guide rail
Step 4: Drop a few drops of lubricating oil on the linear guide rail, and reciprocate the linear guide rail several times to ensure that lubricating oil is everywhere on the guide rail.
Step 5: Install the linear guide rail. Then turn on the main power of the sheet metal laser cutting equipment and press the switch of the CNC laser cutter for metal.
