AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The Z-axis module of existing laser cutting machines is directly exposed to the air because the guide rails of the screw structure are easily attached to dust, which affects the flexibility of the slider sliding. At the same time, the cutting head is installed on the front of the slider, resulting in the Z-axis module being longer in the Y-axis direction, and the cutting head is far away from the X-axis, causing the X-axis to bear a larger weight.

Method used

A laser cutting head side-mounted Z-axis structure is designed. By providing a motor, screw, nut, slider and fixing board on the guide rail seat, the cutting head shield on the slide is connected to the laser cutting head body, and dust shields are provided at both ends of the slide to isolate the dust.

Benefits of technology

Effectively prevent dust from entering the guide rail body and improve the flexibility of slider sliding; by installing the laser cutting head body on the side of the slider to get it close to the X-axis, thereby reducing the weight bearing on the X-axis and ensuring the stability of the device operation.
