In the South region, cold air retreats every year in March. Although the temperature rises in April, it is also a rainy season. Coupled with the rainy season in May and June, the first half of the year can be quite wet.
As the temperature rises, the humidity in the air increases and even drops of water can be seen on the surface of walls and floors, making everything wet.
In the northern regions, most areas enter the flood season in July and August. The increase in rainwater raises air humidity levels.
Under such weather conditions, if the moisture-proof protection of the laser cutting machine is neglected, it may result in problems such as black screen on the console computer, failure to initialize the industrial control computer, laser alarms, tripped switches and other issues that may affect production.
Therefore, ensuring adequate moisture-proof protection for the laser cutting machine is essential to ensure the smooth and normal operation of the machine.
Reduce indoor humidity
(1) Moisture-proof and dehumidification activated carbon
Activated charcoal has a wide range of uses. It is not only effective in dehumidifying, but also purifies the air and eliminates odors.
The dehumidification box sold in supermarkets is mainly composed of calcium fluoride and activated carbon.
This product is effective for dehumidifying small spaces, such as cutting machine control panels and electrical panels. It can efficiently absorb moisture and eliminate odors.
Using activated carbon for moisture protection in humid climates can reduce environmental humidity in electrical and control cabinets, thereby decreasing the likelihood of equipment failure due to moisture.
(2) Open the window in good weather
It is advisable to avoid opening windows, especially those facing south, when it rains or when the weather is cloudy to prevent hot, humid air from entering the house.
However, when the weather is nice, you can open windows facing other directions for ventilation and reduce indoor humidity.
(3) Quicklime dehumidification
Based on data, quicklime has the ability to absorb approximately 0.3 kg of water from the air for every 1 kg of its weight.
Quicklime is highly effective at absorbing moisture.
If the room is damp and the floor is damp, quicklime can be placed in cloth bags and positioned in the corners of the workshop to quickly remove moisture and dry the area.
(4) Air conditioning dehumidification
The impact of air conditioning dehumidification is particularly noticeable in humid climates.
To reduce indoor humidity, turn on the air conditioning and select the dehumidification function. Then operate the air conditioner normally.
In this mode, the air conditioning works like a dryer and effectively reduces the indoor humidity level. This helps maintain stable equipment performance and ensures that indoor air humidity is at an optimal level.
(5) Regularly clean the dust in the electrical cabinet, so as to achieve the purpose of dedusting and dehumidification.
Dust is highly susceptible to absorbing moisture from the air. Regularly dusting the electrical cabinet can effectively reduce the environmental humidity of the cabinet.
If water vapor appears outside the electrical panel, do not turn on the machine immediately
If there is water vapor on the outside of the electrical cabinet, first wipe the surface of the cabinet to remove any moisture. Then turn on the air conditioner and let it dehumidify for half an hour. After that, turn on the equipment's power and observe its operation to ensure stability.
Regular inspection
Be sure to routinely inspect the drainage system of your air compressor, filter element, cold dryer and other components to prevent contamination of the cutting head lens and machine tool gas piping caused by a malfunction of the drainage function.
During wet weather conditions, it is essential to pay extra attention to anti-static and lightning protection. Employees should avoid wearing flip-flops and should always check the grounding of the ground wire.
