Daily Maintenance of Monport Laser Engraver

 

The stable working of the laser engraving machine is inseparable with normal daily operation and maintenance.

Here is some common daily maintenance for your Monport engraver:

·         Replacement of the Cooling Water

Quality and temperature of the cooling water of your engraver can affect the lifetime of laser tube directly, suggest use purified water or distilled water, and water temperature should be below than 35 ℃.When higher than 35 ℃,please replace cooling water, or add ice cubes to lower the water temperature,(cooling device is recommended, or use two water tanks).

Note: To ensure that the laser tube full filled with cooling water before machine working. Cleaning water tank and replacing recycled water once a week are recommended.

·         Cleaning of Water Tank

First of all, turn off power of the laser engraver, disconnect the water inlet pipe, let the inside water of the laser tube flow into the water tank automatically, open water tank, take out the water pump, clean water pump and water tank, put the pump back to water tank, insert the water pipe which connect water pump to water inlet mouth of the machine, finish all joints, then replace cooling water. Turn on the water pump power supply is lately and let the pump run 2-3 minutes (make laser tube full filled with water).

·         Cleaning of Exhaust Fan

After long time using, inside of fan of the Monport machine will accumulate much solid dust, so the exhaust fan will make a great noise, and it is not conducive to the exhaust .When the exhaust effect become poor, we have to clean the fan and smoke pipe. Firstly turn off the power supply of your Monport, remove the two pipes from the fan, clean dust inside of the pipes, and then clean the dust inside of the fan.

·         Cleaning of Lens

As we have talked before, our engraving machine has three reflector mirrors and one focus lens. The laser is send out by the mirror reflecting and focuses lens focusing. Mirror is easy to be dirty; resulting in laser loss and mirror damage. You needn’t remove mirrors when cleaning them. Just use a cotton bar to dip some cleaning solution (acetone or alcohol) and swab carefully by rotating from central to edge of the lens. Take out the focus lens from the laser head, using the same method to clean it. Put it back after cleaning. You should wipe the lens carefully, can not damage the surface coating. Please do that lightly to prevent falling. You keep concave side downward when install the focus lens.

Note: Daily cleaning is recommended before work and your Monport must be in shutdown state.

·         Cleaning of Guide way

First of all, move the laser head of the laser engraver to the far right (or left), then wipe with a dry cloth until shiny clean, together with a little oil (sewing machine oil is recommended), and push the laser head several times slowly along the guide, so that lubricant can be evenly distributed.

Note: Please prepare for cleaning guide - dry cotton cloth and lubricating oil. We suggest clean it every two weeks and your Monport engraving machine must be in shutdown state.

·         Optical Path Inspection

Optical path system of the laser engraving machine is completed by the mirror reflection and focus lens focusing, and there is optical path bias with the focus lens, but the three mirrors is fixed by the mechanical part. Optical path bias is very possible for them. There is no optical bias normally, we still suggest you check optical path before working.
