 Chapter III. Profile of Mechanical Components
3.1 Features of mechanical structure

3.1.1 Lathe bed part

Lathe bed
The lathe bed is welded and made of high-quality carbon structural steel and formed through aging
heat treatment, eliminating the residual stress of welding, steadying the size and guaranteeing the
long-term precision. The lathe bed is equipped with high-precision linear guide rail and gear rack
transmission mechanism on its two sides that drive cross beam for back and forword movement;
both two ends of travel are equipped with switches and buffer stopper, endowing the motion with
double safety protection.

3.1.2 Cross beam part

Cross Beam

14

WWW.bodor.com/86-531-88690051
The cross beam is integrally casted and made of heat-treatable hardening aluminium alloy. Since the
laser cutting is non-contact, the cross beam is designed in a lightweight manner; moreover, the
low-density and high-strength aluminium alloy could meet the needs of high-speed and
high-precision laser cutting.
The cross beam is equipped with high-precision linear guide rail and gear rack transmission
mechanism, allowing the Z axis device to reciprocate along the direction of X axis; both two ends of
travel are equipped with switches and buffer stopper, endowing the motion with double safety
protection.

3.1.3Worktable

Worktable
The structure of the worktable is integrally welded with high strength and stability. Three rollers
driven by cylinder are installed on the worktableand can be lifted by the cylinder in the loading
process, allowing sliding of work piece on the rollers and avoiding sliding of work piece on the
support blades which may cause scratch; once the work piece is positioned, the roller will go down
under the drive of cylinder after the pneumatic switch is on, thus avoiding the roller from injury
during cutting. The worktableis also equipped with universal balls on which the work piece rolls
when fed or unloaded, avoiding the work piece from scratch, reducing the strength of labor and
achieving the fast feeding and unloading of work piece.

20

WWW.bodor.com/86-531-88690051
3.1.4 Z axis device

Z axis device
The Z axis device is applied in the lifting motion of cutting head,whichis achieved by up-down
reciprocating motion of Z axis slider driven by the numerical control system controlling servo motor
and the motor driving ball screw. The travel of both up and down ends is controlled by proximity
switch. Both ball screw and linear guide rail are high quality products, ensuring the driving
precision.
The Z axis can interpolate independently as a numerical control axis, move together with the X and
Y axes and switch to follow-up motion mode through the electrically-controlled part of the cutting
head to meet the requirements of different situations. The follow-up motion of Z axis is controlled
by the numerical control system, which is relatively high-precision and stable, thus ensuring the
quality of cutting.
The capacitance sensor (mounted on the cutting head) in Z axis device will feed the signals that the
distance from nozzle to the surface of profile back to the control system which would then control
the motor of Z axis to drive the up-down motion of cutting head, therefore keeping a constant
distance between the nozzle and materials and effectively ensuring the cutting quality. The cutting
head is equipped with nut that adjusts the focal length, and the position of focus could be adjusted
based on the texture and thickness of cutting material, thus good cutting section is available. Since
the nozzle is one of quick-wear parts during processing, users may reserve some nozzles with
different hole diameters for convenient replacement.
Z axis is equipped with linear guide rail seat nozzle and lead screw seat nozzle respectively for
filling lubricating grease on a regular basis.

3.1.5 Dust extraction system

As a mode of thermal cutting process, laser cutting is conducted by taking advantage of high-energy

20

WWW.bodor.com/86-531-88690051
density laser beam gathered on the surface of work piece to instantly fuse and gasify the work piece
exposed to ultrafine focus spot, and then automatically cut is available by moving the exposure
location controlled by the numerical control system; dust is unavoidable during the processing,
which would impair the operating personnel and working environment.
The laser cutting machine is equipped with a dust extraction system consisting of built-in dedusting
duct in lathe bed body, large-diameter pipe and high-power fan, which is able to obviously inhale
dust generated during laser cutting, thus guaranteeing the health of operating personnel.

3.1.6Lubricating system
The centralized lubricating system automatically supplies lubricating oil for the sliding block,
ensuring the precision of drive system and improving the service life of linear guide rail.

3.1.7 Gas circuit system

The gas circuit system of the laser cutting machine consists of two parts: one part is the cutting gas
supplied to the cutting head like high purity oxygen and nitrogen. The other part is the auxiliary gas,
specifically clean and dry compressed air mainly supplied to the auxiliary feeding cylinder of the
worktable. When cut with oxygen,electric proportional valve should be mounted; gas pressure could
be adjusted through the software.
Oxygen is mainly applied in cutting of general carbon steel; Nitrogen is mainly used to cut stainless
steel and alloy steel. Different cutting gas shall be used for variant materials.

3.1.8 Cooling system

The water circuit of the laser cutting machine adopts water chiller which can supply high and low
temperature, one for cooling the laser source and the other for cooling the cutting head.
Remark: To ensure the normal operation of the lathe bed and laser source ,as well as guarantee
the steady power of laser source and good laser mode,the above auxiliary equipment and
measures are extremely importance. It is beyond the warranty coverage including low laser power,
poor laser mode and other parts impaired due to a user's using undesirable water, electricity and
gas without permission.

with high energy density is adopted as "cutting tool" to conduct thermal cutting process on the
materials. Laser cutting technology is adopted to cut various metals, non-metal sheet and composite
materials, which is widely used in various fields.
Laser cutting refers to using the focused laser beam radiating the work piece to melt, carburate and
ablate the materials or enable the materials to reach fire point, and meanwhile, high-speed stream
with same axis as the light beam is adopted to remove the molten material and achieve the cutting
works. Laser cutting is one of heat cutting methods.

10.2 Main mode of laser processing

1. Laser-melting cutting
Laser-melting cutting refers to using the laser heating to melt the metal materials, and puffing the
non-oxidizing gas (N2, Air, etc.) through the nozzle with same axis as the light beam and
eliminating the liquid metal depending on the strong laser pressure to form a kerf.
Laser-melting cutting is mainly used for the cutting of materials that are difficult to cut or reactive
metal, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum and their alloys.
2. Laser oxygen cutting
The principles of laser oxygen cutting are similar to oxyacetylene cutting, for which, the laser is
used as the preheated heating source, and oxygen and other active gases can be used as auxiliary gas.
On one hand, the ejected gas will oxidize with metal, releasing abundant oxidation heat; on the other
hand, the melted oxide and the melt will be blown out from the reaction area, and the kerf will be
formed in the metal.
Laser oxygen cutting is mainly used for metal materials easily oxidized, such as carbon steel. It can
also be used for processing such materials as stainless steel, but it will result in a black and rough
cross section, and the cost of which is lower than that of inert gas.

10.3 Focal position

After the focusing of laser beam, the position where a focus lies, compared with the surface of
processing material, is called as the focal position. The focal position determines the beam diameter
and power density on the work piece surface, and the shape of the cut. During the laser cutting, the
relative location of beam focus and cutting sheet metal surface has a large effect on cutting quality,
and it is very important to adjust the focus position. This laser cutting machine is equipped with
automatic following adjustment device with high precision; the numerical control system will
automatically adjust the distance of the section under the nozzle from the sheet metal when changing
the plate height to ensure the constant height from the nozzle to the plate surface and constant
position of the focus.
The precise screw lift focus box will be adopted for focusing mechanism of focus lens to realize the
focus adjustment, featuring self-locking capability and fine focusing function.

20

WWW.bodor.com/86-531-88690051
Focusing hand wheel is equipped with focusing module, 20 halving tick marks are made along the
peripheral direction (as shown in the Figure), the focus lens will lift or decline for 0.05mm for one
tick mark rotation, and the focusing lens will lift or decline 1mm vertically when rotate one circle. 0
scale is located near the nozzle, -5 means that the focus will stick 5mm out from the nozzle, and +5
means that the focus retracted 5mm at the focus.

Focusing Device of Laser Head

The relation between focus position and cutting materials and sections is listed in the following
table

Name and location of focus Cutting material and section features

Zero focus: laser focus is located
on the upper surface of the sheet
metal
Positive focus: laser focus is
located above the upper surface of
the sheet metal
Negative focus: laser focus is
located below the upper surface of
the sheet metal
It is used in thin sheet cutting. At this
moment, the maximum density of capacity
and the smallest diameter of beam are
available on the material surface, the
narrowest kerf will be attainable.
Usage mode of laser oxygen cutting. If the
focus lies above the surface, as the focal
position enlarges, the kerf width will
increase accordingly.
Usage mode of laser-melting cutting. If the
focus lies in the inner part of material, with
the decrease of focal position, the kerf
width will increase accordingly.

10.4 Nozzle

10.4.1Nozzle function

The air flow condition will be different based on different nozzle design, which will affect the
cutting quality directly. The main functions of nozzle include:
1. Avoiding such sundries as cutting slags bouncing upwards and entering the cutting head to
damage the lens.
2. The nozzle can ensure that the ejected gas is more concentrated, and can control the area and size
of gas diffusion to make a higher quality.

10.4.2 Influence from nozzle on cutting quality and nozzle selection

1. Relations between nozzle and cutting quality: the cutting quality will be affected when the nozzle
has any deformation or residue. Therefore, the nozzle shall be placed carefully without bumping; the
residue on nozzle shall be timely cleaned. A higher precision requirement is necessary for nozzle
manufacturing, and the nozzle shall be replaced timely due to poor quality resulted from the nozzle
quality in itself.
2. Selection of nozzle
In general, when the nozzle diameter is small, the gas velocity is high, and the molten materials
eliminating ability is strong, suitable for thin plate cutting, by which, the fine cutting section can be
achieved. When the nozzle diameter is large, the gas velocity is low and the molten materials
eliminating ability is poor, suitable for cutting thick plate with a low speed. If a nozzle with a larger
diameter is used to cut the thin sheet rapidly, the slags produced may be spattered upwards,
damaging the protection lens.
In addition, the nozzle can be divided into composite and single-layer nozzles (as shown in the
figure below), and the composite nozzle is generally used to cut the carbon steel and the single-layer
nozzle is used to cut the stainless steel.

10.5 Dimming (concentric laser)

The procedures for adjusting the laser passing through the nozzle center:
Open the software, move the cross beam and laser cutting head to proper position.

20

WWW.bodor.com/86-531-88690051
Paste the cellulose tape evenly to the section of the nozzle with your thumb (as shown in following
figure).
Set proper power in the software (80-100W), click "Laser" (or "Laser" button on the handle), the
icon "⊙" will be displayed on the tape, take off the cellulose tape and note not to rotate its relative
position. If the light spot is not in the nozzle center, it is necessary to adjust the knob on top of the
cutting head to ensure the light spot is at the nozzle center. Repeat the above action until the hole in
cellophane tape shotted by laser overlaps with the nozzle center.
When the nozzle center is not concentric with the center of the laser, the impacts on cutting quality
include: 1. Affecting the cutting section, the ejecting auxiliary gas will cause uneven gas, and
inconformity qualities around the cutting section, even irregular cutting. 2. Affecting sharp angle
quality, partial over-melted phenomenon will occur when cutting small work pieces with sharp angle
or small angle, cutting plate; sharp corners may not be achieved when cutting the thick plate. 3. the
perforation is not stable, over-melted phenomenon may occur when perforating the thick plate and
the perforation time is hard to control. The concentricity of nozzle center and the laser is one of the
important factors of cutting quality, especially cutting the thicker work pieces, its effect is even
greater. Thus the concentricity of nozzle center and laser shall be adjusted to achieve better cutting
section.

10.9 Factors influencing cutting principles

1. Cutting height
The distance from nozzle to work piece is as shown in following figure; too short distance will result
in collision of sheet metal and nozzle, and too long distance will result in gas diffusion, causing
many slags at the cutting bottom surface.

piece

Distance Diagram of Nozzle and Work Piece

The distance from the nozzle to the work piece can be set in layer
interface, and distance between 0.5-1.5mm is recommended.

2. Cutting speed
The feed speed can be judged from the cutting sparks, the sparks will diffuse from top to the bottom
in normal cutting, and when the speed is too high, the sparks will be banked; if the sparks are not
diffused, but gathered together, it indicates that the feeding speed is too low. As shown in following
figure, the cutting surface of a proper cutting speed will present stable lines, and no slags will be
generated at bottom half.

If there is poor cutting quality, it is recommended to conduct general inspection, whose contents and
sequence include:
1. Cutting height (recommended actual cutting height is 0.5-1.5mm). If there is inaccurate height of
actual cutting height, it is required to be calibrated.
2. Nozzle inspection. Check whether the model and size of nozzle are proper; whether the nozzle is
damaged and its roundness is normal.
3 Optic center. It is recommended to conduct the optic center inspection through 1.0-dia. nozzle,
with the focus ranging from -1 to 1. In such way, the spot shotted is small and easy to be observed.
4. Protection lens. Check whether the lens are clean; no water, oil or dirt should be found on the lens.
Protection lens may be misted due to too cool weather or auxiliary gas.
5. Focus. Check whether the focus is set properly.
6. Modify the cutting parameters

After the five items above are all right, some parameters may be modified for a specific purpose
according to the phenomenon.

2. Maintenance and service of laser source and fiber pigtail

As the key equipment of laser cutting machine, laser source provides laser cutting machine with
light sources for cutting. In order to keep your laser cutting machine working normally in a high
quality, ensure the reliable operation of your laser source and prolong its service life, you are
reminded of checking and maintaining your laser source.
Laser source can be free from maintenance basically. Besides to keep the surroundings clean, the
daily work is to observe whether the cooling water and voltage are normal, and please contact us if
there is any abnormity.

11.3 Maintenance of lens

As at the lower of the centering module, the protection lens is easy to be polluted by smoke and dust,
so it is suggested cleaning once every day before starting to work. The first is to loosen the screws of
the drawer of protection lens completely, hold the both sides of the drawer of protection lens box
with thumb and forefinger to pull out the drawer slowly and be careful not to lose the seal rings at
the top and bottom sides of the drawer; the next is to seal the drawer mouth with gummed paper to
prevent focus lens from dust pollution. The protection lens is a plane mirror, and the seal rings and
protection lens can be pulled away through pressing the lens. During installation, the lens shall be
placed before seal rings are pressed.
The collimating lens and focus lens are inside of the fiber cutting head, the disassembly sequence
shall be recorded to ensure the veracity of reinstallation.
1. Notes for the use of lenses
Don't touch the optical surfaces of focus lens, protection lens and QBH head directly with hand in
order to prevent the lens surfaces from scratch or corrosion. Please clean the lenses if there is any
grease or dust on the surfaces as it can affect the use of lenses seriously. It is strictly prohibited to
wash the optical lens surfaces with water or cleanser essence, as the surfaces of lenses are plated
with a special layer of membrane, which will be damaged if the lenses are washed with them. Please
don't place the lenses in the damp place, otherwise, the lens surfaces will be aged. Don't use too
much pressure when installing or replacing the reflector, focus lens and protection lens, otherwise,
the lenses may be deformed, which will influence the quality of light beam.
2. Methods to install or replace optical lenses
It's necessary to wear clean clothes, clean hands with soap or cleanser essence and wear light, thin
and clean white gloves before installing or replacing optical lenses. It is strictly prohibited to touch
the lenses with any part of the hand. Hold the lenses from the side and don't touch the coating
surfaces of lenses directly when taking them.
Don't blow with mouth facing the lenses when assembling them. Please place the lenses on a clean

20

WWW.bodor.com/86-531-88690051
table steadily with several pieces of lens professional paper lying under them. Try to be careful when
taking lenses to avoid bruise and fall, and never exert any force on their coating surfaces. The bases
where the lenses are installed shall be clean and the dust and dirt inside the bases shall be cleared
with clean air gun before the lenses are placed into the supporting socket gently.
When installing lenses onto supporting socket, it is forbidden to fix the lenses with too strong force
in order to avoid lens deformation and the further influenceon the quality of light beam.
3. Lens cleaning steps
The cleaning method varies from lens to lens. Lens with plane surface and without supporting
socket shall be cleaned with lens paper; lens with curved surface or with supporting socket shall be
cleaned with cotton swab. The specific steps are as follows:
Steps to clean the lens with lens paper: blow off the dust on the surface of lens with clean air gun;
clean the surface of lens with alcohol or lens paper, during which, it's necessary to place the bright
and clean side of the lens paper on the surface of lens, drop 2-3 drops of high pure alcohol or
acetone and then draw out the lens paper horizontally towards the direction of the operating
personnel. The above actions shall be repeated for several times until the lens surface is clean. No
pressure may be exerted on the lens paper in order to avoid scratch. If the lens surface is very dirty,
the lens paper can be folded for 2-3 times and the above steps shall be repeated until the lens surface
is clean. It is prohibited to drag dry lens paper on the lens surface.
Steps to clean the lens with cotton swabs: blow off the dust on the surface of lens with air gun firstly,
then remove the dirt with a clean cotton swab; use a new cotton swab stained with high pure alcohol
or acetone to make movement along the circumference from the center of the lens to wash the lens
and replace to use another clean cotton swab when the circumference washing is finished every time.
Repeat the above operation until the lens is clean. Observe the washed lens until there is no dirt or
spot on its surface. Install the washed lens into the lens supporting socket according to the above
method. Second-hand cotton swabs are prohibited to be used for the operation.
If there are chippings difficult to remove on the lens surface, the surface can be blown with rubber
air blower. Both sides need to be cleaned, after which, another confirmation shall be made to ensure
there is no of the following residual: detergent, pledget, foreign matter and impurities. The lens may
not be exposed to air after cleaning, which shall be installed soonest or stored in a clean sealed
container temporarily.
4. Storage of optical lens
The proper storage of optical lens could maintain the good quality of the lens. The temperature of
storage environment is between 10-30℃, and the lens can not be placed in the freezing chamber or
similar environment, otherwise, condensation and frost would be caused when it is taken out, which
would damage the lens easily. The temperature of storage environment can not exceed 30℃,
otherwise, the coating film on the lens surface may be impacted. The lens shall be stored in a box in
a non-vibrating environment, otherwise, the lens could be easily deformed, thus influencing its use
performance.
5. Replacement of quick-wear components
The nozzle at the lower of the cutting head is easy to break down due to the worst service conditions,
which can be contrarotated to screw off in order to be replaced with a new one. After replacement,
it's necessary to screw it off and make another capacitance calibration. when replacing a new
ceramic body, the two gauge piles must be aligned with the locating holes of the inductive seat, the

20

WWW.bodor.com/86-531-88690051
ceramic body shall be laid flat and righted before tightening the clamping rings, and the nozzle will
be screwed when the ceramic body is compressed. Failing to meet the above installation
requirements may damage the parts of inductive seat module and result in the normal operation of
the system.

11.4 Maintenance for long-parked equipment

If the lathe bed is to be parked and not to be used for a long time, please smear all the moving
components of the lathe bed with grease and package them with anti-embroidered paper. For other
parts, it's necessary to check whether there is rust formation, exercise rust removing and rust-proof
treatment for rusty parts (dust-proof covers can be added if possible), and clean and check the lathe
bed regularly.
The lubrication of gear rack: use antirust agent (such as WD-40) to clear the gear rack and use hand
spraying grease (such as dinosaur 192) to lubricate gear rack evenly.
The lubrication of linear slide rail: use grease gun (such as R-301) to inject the lithium base grease
(such as MP-3) into the centralized lubrication seat.
If the linear slide rail fails to be lubricated properly, the friction in the rolling parts will increase, and
the long-term use in the above condition will become the main reason for lifespan shortening.
The lubricating grease for linear slide rail and sprocket chain is lithium base grease, and Jinguan
Lithium Base Grease MP-3 is recommended. And grease gun will be used to inject the lithium base
grease into the sliding block. Beside, due to structure requirements, the linear guide rail is sealed in
the bellow of dust-proof cover secondarily, when the grease gun is used for lubrication, it's
necessary to open the bellow of the dust-proof cover before injecting grease.
