Laser Cutter Service near Northampton, Thinklaser Lightblade 6090 DS 80 watt CO2 & 30 watt Fibre – Mansfield Board Machinery Ltd
A visit to a long running customer, Mansfield Board Machinery was required as the customer had requested their annual service, which we would recommend for all our customers. The laser cutter service was conducted by our highly experienced laser machine service engineer ‘Gavin Edwards’. The laser service visit included: –
Thinklaser Lightblade 6090 DS (Dual Source)
Upon arrival at Mansfield Board Machinery, the machine was visually inspected. On a service with no known prior issues, it is normal practice to check the laser power from the nozzle, this was done on the Lightblade Dual Source on both laser nozzles. The following powers were measured. From the CO2 nozzle was 71w @25mA 91% and from the fibre nozzle was 25w @ 99%.
The mirror and both lens were checked and cleaned. There was a few scratches on the CO2 lens in the nozzle, this was not affecting either the power of the laser, or the cut quality, so the customer was happy for it not to be replaced.
The lens tube assembly that was holding this lens was replaced as the internal thread had been damaged due to overtightening of the auto focus bracket. Whilst checking the laser head it was also noted that the autofocus pen had an intermittent fault with it’s connection, so was replaced with the spare that the customer had in their spares kit.
The laser service was continued with the following items were carried out: –
- Water Cooling Chiller Inspection, Clean, Drain & Refill
- Inspect, Clean and Lubricate all Linear/Guide Rails
- Auto Focus Pen Inspection & Clean
- Checked all Belts and Pulleys
- Check the Bed Level – Slightly adjusted the front left and right side as it was 1mm down
- Electronics Inspection & Test
- Safety Interlocks Inspection & Test
The laser powers were remeasured at the exit aperture of the laser head nozzles after the beam alignment was checked and both nozzles were producing better results. The CO2 was measuring 81.3w @25mA 91% and the fibre was measuring 29.9w @99%.
After the laser machine service was concluded, the machine was tested by running some of the customer jobs. The customer was happy with the results of the service
