Flaming occurs at the point where the laser exits the nozzle during processing.
Category 1: New or Recently Used Machine Issues
| Causes | Symptoms | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Insufficient Air Assist Flow | Flaming, charred edges, and excessive smoke in the cut line. |
|
| Incorrect Focus | Charring, wide cut line, and flaming. |
|
| Material Flammability | Occurs when processing inherently flammable materials (e.g., MDF, bamboo, wood, density board). |
|
| Poor Exhaust System Efficiency | Excessive smoke generation, or even the appearance of flames. Check the exhaust pipes and fan/blower for clear passage. |
|
Category 2: Issues Due to Machine/Component Aging
| Causes | Symptoms | Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Exhaust Fan Deterioration | Hot smoke cannot be extracted in time, leading to secondary combustion (flare-ups). |
|
| Air Pump or Compressor Aging | Insufficient Air Assist pressure, resulting in flames not being blown away. |
