How To Cool Laser Cutter Lens

In recent years, there are many manufacturers of laser cutting machines in the market. Each has its own advantages and characteristics. There are also some differences in technology and models, especially in terms of lenses. same.

The lens mainly depends on the laser energy. The beam penetrates from here. If the lens cannot withstand such a strong high temperature, it will cause breakdown. Therefore, when each manufacturer chooses a laser head, it will also be based on the power and the heat the lens bears. , and install the cooling device accordingly.

Water cooling

A water-cooling device is installed on the lens head. During the operation of the equipment, the water flows back along the cutting head, forming a continuous circulation effect, which cools the lens, the equipment continues to cut, and the water also circulates continuously, thus playing a role of constant circulation. With intermittent cooling, the lens will not be deformed due to high temperature, and it is better protected.

Air cooling

It is similar to water cooling, and there is not much difference between the two, except that one is cooled by water, and the other is cooled by air, both of which have a cooling effect. In terms of effect, air cooling may be slightly worse. some.

Of course, in the field of small laser cutting machines, the cooling requirements are not so high, because its heat is not so strong, these cooling devices are only suitable for some high-power cutting; whether it is air cooling or water cooling, the role of the two methods is to reduce the lens. The heat it is subjected to, thus playing the role of a protective lens, making the power work in a stable state and ensuring the stability of the cutting speed.
