OVERVIEW

The Fiber Laser marking system developed and manufactured by Datalogic employs the most advanced technologies with regards to the mechanical-optical part, the electronic control of laser beam power, communication and the overall safety of the entire system.

OPERATION OF A LASER SYSTEM WITH GALVANOMETRIC SCANNING

In pulsed or continuous operation mode, the laser generates an invisible, high-energy infrared beam. In order t o obtain a mor e accur ate focus, t he laser beam is fir st enlarged using a n optica l expansi on s ystem and then deflected by a scanning system consisting of two mirrors mounted on galvanometric motors. These mirrors deflect the beam in a controlled beam along the X and Y axes; processing of the product surface occurs by coordinating the movement of the two motors with the turning on/off of the laser beam. The deflected laser beam is focused by an F-Theta scan lens before it hits the surface of the product. Generally speaking, the marking is carried out within the focus of the beam.

LASER SOURCE

On ArexTM marking system it is used a sealed fiber laser source. This source is based on the new fiber solid state technology. It guaranties high stability, lower sensi ti vit y on optical misalignment and a longer product lif etime.

GALVANOMETRIC SCANNING HEAD

The scanning head feat ures two def lection m irrors that deflec t the beam in an X and Y d irection, dep ending on the graphics/pattern to be reproduced.

MARKING SOFTWARE

The marking software Lighter is preinstalled on the system.

NOTE:

Consult Lighter software user’s manual for a proper use of the same.

NOTE:

Consult the proper Appendix to upgrade the preinstalled software if necessary.

WARNING!

Marking system installation in secure environment is responsibility of the system integrator!

vii

The ArexTM marking system features a po wer supply unit whose size is compatible with the standard 19” 2,5U in varnished steel, a n d a s c an head whose compact dimensions m ake it eas y to integrate into a system that comprises saf ety systems required by applicable regulations , the management of mark ing signals and the customer’s complementary modules, if any.

All marking system connections are found on the rear of the rack: mains power supply, safety, electrical signals, communication ports, patch cord to the scanner head, while the front features key and enable command devices, status LED i n ad dit ion t o a USB connector for c om munication with the internal embedded controller.

Figure 1: Control Rack and Scan Head.

WARNING!

Laser marking m ay strongly inter act with m aterials through a ther mal carboniza tion process with t he emission of fumes and vapours.

Adequate fume extractor and fume treatment must be provided for, especially when working on plastic materials such PVC.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

Access to the interna l part s of the marking system is al lo wed o nly to authorized pe rs onnel, du ly qualified and trained with regards to risks of optical and electrical nature. Datalogic d eclines any and al l responsibility for work carried out on live parts by untrained or unauthorized personnel.

WARNING!

It is forbidden to change the intended use for which the system was designed and developed. Datalogic declines any and all responsibility for improper use of its marking system.

WARNING!

These marking system actuation is demanded to the system integrator.

APPENDIX D: NOTE ABOUT LASER

LASER SAFETY

The following inform ation is provided in compliance with regulat ions set by International Authorities, and it refers to proper use of the marking system.

WARNING!

It is crucial that you protect yourself against beams of reflected or direct light as they cause permanent damage to your skin

WARNING!

Staring directly at a laser beam may cause irreversible damage to your eyes.

WARNING!

Wear safety goggles while using the marking system!

NOTE:

BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING THE LASER, READ CAREFULLY THE APPENDIX CONCERNING LASER SAFETY.

LASER RADIATION

Laser radiation is an electromagnetic emission with a micrometric wa velength which ranges from the long infrared (CO (excimer laser). It should be considered non-Ionizing Radiation. In Arex stimulated by “optical pum ping” generat ed by a Diode Las er. The continuous ref lection of Photons , between a front mirror and rear mirror, c reates a positive reaction so that their number continues to incre ase, until reaching the concentr at ion nec ess ary to produce a beam which projects f rom t he semi-reflecting front mirror. The radiation (whic h we can imagine as a “Beam of in visible light”) is then Collimated a nd Focalized with Lenses at a point where the intensity becomes high enough to be able to react with various materials producing an alteration in them due to thermal effect. The radiation of Arex the natural defense pro vided b y pupil ref lex! Added to t his is the f act that it is generally very intense , with t he result that it can be very harmful to the eye and present vision problems.

To prevent permanent damage to vision, a few precautions must be taken. All individuals who m ay be exposed to da ngero us l evels of laser rad iation , m ust k now that th e laser is ac tive and wear protective goggles if necessary.

marking system, the emission of a light is

marking system is invisible and the Eye receives it alm os t in its e nt ir et y wi tho ut us ing

WARNING!

Directly viewing a las er bea m can cause irreversible damage to vision.

Due to its high power, the laser integrated in the Datalogic system provokes reflected laser light from flat surfaces. Reflected light is potentially dangerous for the eyes and skin. Electromagnetic emission with a micrometric wavelength is placed in long infrared, and is therefore invisible, thus it is not clear where reflected beams are aimed.

WARNING!

It is indispensable to protect yourself from reflected light beams, because they can be

sufficiently intense to create permanent injury to the eyes or skin

In addition to possible injur y to the e yes or sk in, direc t laser em ission can c ause flam m able materials to burn like organic solvents (alcohol, acetone) or gasoline and cause fabric and clothing to burn.

WARNING!

This marking system is classified as Class 4. Class 4 includes lasers which can produce r isks, not only from direct or reflected radiation, but also fr om scattered radiat ion! T he laser sour ces m ay be a significant risk for the skin and risk of burning flammable materials

ABSORPTION OF LASER RADIATION

Human skin absorbs electromagnetic radiation in different ways depending on the wave length of the radiation. Both the e ye and skin have a “predisposition” f or accepting certain wave lengths, and are more unresponsive to absorbin g others. In the spec ific case of the E ye, the Cornea and Cr ystalline lens let al l the wave lengths from 400 to 1 400 nm pass and reach t he Retin a, even with vari ous atte nuations. T hey inc lude the range from visible light to IRA infrared. T hus Arex this range and leads to direct Retina exposure! In terms of the Skin, the “biological window” has different absorption percentages but is not dissimilar in terms of wave length. The maximum exposure values for Skin are much different compared to those tolerated by the Eye.

laser radiation (1070 nm wavelength) is included i n

Figure 46: Eyeball section.

In terms of the damage m echanism that absorbed ra diation can cause, it also depends on the wave length. Short lengths (ultraviolet: UV-C 18 0-280nm; UV-B 280-315 nm , UV-A 315-400 nm) generall y cause photochemical effects:

• cataract, or opacification of the crystalline lens

• melanic coloring, or reddening of the skin

Greater wavelengths (inf rared: I R-A 780-1 400 nm ; I R-B 1400 3000 nm; IR-C 300 0-10 thermal effects:

• detachment or photocoagulation of the retina

• burning of the skin

The degree of injury obviously depends on the amount of absorbed radiation and the instantaneous power of the radiation source.

nm) gener all y cause

CLASSIFICATION AND DANGER LEVEL

Regulations have esta blished different classes of Las er danger based on the ability to injur e people, from Laser Class 1 (basically safe in all conditions) to Laser Class 4 dangerous in various conditions .

Lasers which can produce risks, not only for direct or reflected radiation, but also for scattered radiation belong to Class 4. These Laser sources can also have a significant risk for the Skin and fire risk for flammable material. For these reasons, the User m ust put into effect all measures aim ed at containing the radiation to make sur e that it is term inated at the end of its useful path. The oper ator mus t also be inform ed of the risks from exposure to Laser radiation and mus t wear specific I.P.D. (individual pr otection devices) including goggles that protect against radiation and are certified as suitable for this use.

WARNING!

The ArexTM marking system contains a Class 4 invisible laser source.

RADIATION VIEWING CONDITIONS

The Laser output by the Sc an Head is to be considered as a hig hly collimated and intense m onochromatic light source. Due to these char acteristics it can be seen as a “point source” of high lum inosity. This means that its image is then focal ized on the Retina in a v ery small spot with a dang erously high power dens ity! If the beam becom es divergent and scatters to a no n-reflecting screen, then there is an “extended visi on” of the image, with a decisivel y less dangerous power de nsity. So there are different types of radiation viewing based on the access to the radiation and consequently different degrees of dangerousness.

DIRECT VIEWING OF THE LASER BEAM

This type of viewing is t he most dangerous and can occur at the outlet of the laser aperture after ha ving removed the lens. It is to be avoided at all costs ! No protective goggles repre sent a valid means against direct viewing of the beam.

DIRECT VIEWING OF THE BEAM AFTER MIRROR REFLECTION

This may occur by directing the beam on a reflecting surface. Viewing of a mirror reflected beam from a flat surface is very dangerous and equal to direct viewing.

DIRECT VIEWING OF THE BEAM OUTPUT BY AN OPTICAL FIBER

This happens if an Optical Fiber d isconnec ts f rom t he Scan Head. Viewi ng of the beam is danger ous up to a significant distance. Filters and Goggles do not ensure safety.

DIRECT VIEWING OF THE BEAM AFTER FOCUSING

This occurs if the Laser beam is not extinguished with an opportun e absorber at the end of its us eful path. Looking at the beam is dangerous up to a co nsiderable distance. Filters and goggl es can ensure safet y for brief exposure, as long as they are the right size and certified.

SCATTERED VIEWING OF THE BEAM AFTER FOCUSING

This is the most frequent vi ewing, but opportun e Filters and Goggles can ensure safet y, even for prolonged exposure.

N.O.H.D. DETERMINATION AND O.D. OF PROTECTION GOGGLES

In order to determinate the characteristics of the protection goggles, it is essential to determine the characteristics of the radiation, knowing its optical path, the dimensions of the beam and its divergence.

It is very import ant to know the real divergence of the beam in output from the focali zation scan lens (FTheta). With all these optical data it is possible to calculate the Nominal Ocu lar Ha zard Distance (N.O.H.D.) and the optical density (O.D.) requested to the protection filters of the laser radiation.

Calculations have been done following the CEI EN 60825-1 (2014) Normative regarding nominal distance and optical risk in the worst condition and in case of accident exposure of 10 seconds for direct radiation and 100 seconds for diffused radiation.

Assuming a direct exposure of 10 seconds at a nominal distanc e of 0,5 m (worst c ase considered), with F Theta Scan Lens 160 mm model installed, it is poss ible to calculate the suitable optical density (O.D.) for safety goggles.

The O.D. (Optical Density) in last column assures the reduction of laser radiation below max acceptable exposure.

SCALE INDEX OF THE PROTECTION GOGGLES FILTER

The scale index L of the filters indicates the sta bility to the radiation, that m eans the ability of the filter to maintain its characteristics unchanged.

adequate over dimensioned in order to make sure that it could last longer than the accidental exposure period.

In case of exposure at 0,5 m for 10 seconds, the suggested optical density for safety goggles is CLASS L4.

O.D. (Optical Density)

EYES AND SKIN RISKS

If exposed to intense Laser radiation, even of a short duration, or a less intense but lon ger lasting durat ion, both the Cornea and the Retina can burn and be damaged irreparably forever. This consequence is completely realistic in the event of direct viewing of a Class 4 Laser beam.

If subject to direct focalized radiation, even the skin can burn. In addition, it is necessary to bear in mind that a collateral ultraviolet radiation may exist with the main

radiation: long exposure may cause skin cancer.

GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

The User must comply with the regulations and work in the best possible safety conditions to prevent decreasing the degree of the marking system safety. Therefore it is necessary to develop a Standard Operating Procedure ( S.O. P.) relate d to m aneuvers to effec t for turning on and of f the marking system. This procedure, which shall be prepared around the time of installation, shall serve as a reference for the Operator and shall be written in his/her language.

Training is essential and must include:

• Familiarization with system operating procedures.

• Knowledge of the biological effects of radiation on the Eyes and Skin.

• Understanding of the necessity for Individual Protection Devices (I.P.D.)

COLLATERAL RISK

If the intended use of the marking system is changed, for example for material processing applications, collateral risks m ay arise repr esented b y the pro ductio n of fum es and vapors w hich m a y be irritating or tox ic, if not removed and adequately filtered before being released into the air again.

WARNING!

It is advisable not to change the intended use without previously contacting the Manufacturer.

An additional risk may be represented by fire c aused by processing m aterials other than those t he marking system was designed for.

WARNING!

When processing flammab le material, since ther e is a fire danger, it is indispensable to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer when the system is commissioned

WARNING!

Do not subject materials other than those the marking system was designed for to radiation.

The most serious collateral risk associated with laser marking system, which may be fatal, is electricity. This may occur when the manufacturer’s warning and procedures are not followed. Unauthorized and untrained personnel must never do any work on the electrical part. The safety devices must never be removed and their operation must be periodically checked.

WARNING!

Do not work on the electrical part if you are not trained to do so. Do not remove protection

devices

For example, during the intended use of the marking system, if a material being processed undergoes alterations and produces irritating and/or toxic fumes, it may be necessary to remove the fumes from processing before releasing them into the air.

An additional risk may be represented by fire caused b y processing materials other than those the system was designed for.

WARNING!

Do not subject materials other than those the marking system was designed for to radiation.
