Precautions for Mid-Process Shutdown

During customer operations, if there's no cutting task or an extended break of more than 1 hour, it is recommended to follow these steps to protect the fiber laser:

1. Step 1: Turn Off High Voltage

Switch off the high voltage of the fiber laser while keeping the laser's power switch and cooling system on standby.

2. Step 2: Turn Off Cooling System

Turn off the cooling system during the break or idle time.

3. Step 3: Restart for Cutting

When you need to resume cutting, restart the cooling system. Wait until the cooling system reaches the set temperature range ±1°C. After that, turn on the high voltage of the fiber laser, and you are ready for laser cutting.

Note: Make sure not to keep the cooling system running if the fiber laser's power switch is already turned off. Always synchronize the operation of the cooling system with the fiber laser's status to avoid any issues.

By following these precautions, you can ensure the optimal performance and longevity of your fiber laser during mid-process shutdowns.
