The speed of the laser cutting machine is an important parameter of the equipment. The speed of laser cutting machine is divided into processing speed and dry running speed. The processing speed of the laser cutting machine can be adjusted. So, if the speed of the laser cutting machine slows down, what is the general cause?

1. Laser power decreases: As the core component of the equipment, the power of the laser will gradually decay over time, resulting in reduced cutting efficiency. Cutting speed can be restored by regular maintenance and testing of laser power, replacing aging parts or upgrading the laser if necessary.

2. Contamination or damage to the optical lens: If the lens or reflector on the laser path is dusty or damaged, it will reduce the output efficiency of the laser and affect the cutting speed. Optical lenses should be cleaned or replaced regularly.

3. Focus problem: Improper focus position or spot diameter will lead to reduced cutting efficiency. Focus parameters need to be adjusted to ensure optimal beam quality and cutting results.

4. Improper distance between the nozzle and the workpiece: An appropriate distance should be maintained between the nozzle and the workpiece (usually 0.8 mm is recommended). Too far or too close will affect the cutting efficiency.

5. Improper auxiliary gas setting: The type, pressure and flow of auxiliary gas have a great impact on the cutting process. Gas settings should be adjusted based on the material and thickness being cut.

6. Cutting material characteristics: Changes in the density, thickness, reflectivity and other characteristics of the cutting material will also cause the cutting speed to slow down. Cutting parameters need to be adjusted to suit different materials.

7. Excessive use of equipment: Continuous operation for a long time will cause the equipment to overheat and affect performance. Arrange work time reasonably and perform necessary cooling and maintenance.

8. Control system and software settings: Wrong or outdated control software settings can also affect cutting efficiency. Check and update control system software to optimize cutting parameters.
