Laser power supply technicians are important members of the operation of laser equipment, but in the operation of laser power supply, will also encounter all kinds of difficulties, today we summarized some of the first-line manufacturers of technical personnel to provide common problems to discuss with you:



▲ Power failure:


Problems occur: Because the laser power supply system, especially the high-power laser power supply system requires a large amount of voltage, if the voltage is not stable, it will produce inconsistent output power, resulting in catastrophic damage.


Solution: If you do not have a stable power supply, there is no stable laser power supply power, you can use the laser power power meter and monitoring tools to check whether the electrical stability, which can also verify the output power of the laser power supply is stable.



▲ Low cooling efficiency:


Problems arise: Your laser power system consists of many high-tech components, most of which require effective cooling to produce a steady output of power, and a water recycling system is usually used to keep the system temperature constant. Therefore, problems related to water, filters, or power supply cycles can reduce the output power of the laser power supply.


The fix: Checking and controlling the thermometer on your cooling system regularly may save you time and money.



▲ Pulse instability:


Problems arise: Procedures such as cutting and welding require laser power pulse operations due to the additional peak power required. Most of the time, any loss of performance in cutting and welding operations is not caused by a drop in average power, but by power levels that are not up to standard.


Solution: Laser power supply energy meter can be used to monitor single pulse energy changes.



▲ Component misalignment:


Some laser power supply technologies (such as CO2 laser power supply) require correct lens alignment, which can lead to power reduction and catastrophic failure of the entire laser power supply.


The lens alignment should be checked regularly.
