4 Important Tips to Protect the Laser Cutting Machine in Winter

What can I do to protect my fiber laser in the winter?

Why do we need to protect the laser (water cooler) against freezing?

As we all know, the density of ice is less than water. Once the cooling water was flowing through the core components of the laser freezes, the volume will expand, which may cause severe damage to the pipeline. It will seriously affect the safety of the core components and cause major losses.

Fiber Laser Antifreeze Tips:

1. Guaranteed ambient temperature

Use heating equipment to keep the ambient temperature of the working area where the laser is located above 0°C. Generally, it is more appropriate to set the temperature above 5°C.

2. Keep the laser and water cooler in operation

Keep the laser and water cooler always on, and the water flow can prevent freezing. (If you need to shut down during holidays, this plan is not applicable)

3. Drain the liquid in the laser and water chiller

Empty the water in the water tank and pipeline of the laser and water chiller as much as possible

4. Use antifreeze

Add antifreeze to the water cooler; please consult the water cooler manufacturer for specific methods
