1 OVERVIEW

In this manual, we have tried as for as possible to address all issues. However, space restrictions prevent us from describing everything that must not be done, or which cannot be done, because there are so many possibilities. Therefore, all matters which are not specifically described as being possible should be regarded as being "impossible".

1.5 NOTES ON READING THIS MANUAL

The functions of a laser machining system depend not only on the laser oscillator, but also on the machine, power magnetics cabinet, servo system, CNC, and operator's panel. This manual describes only the laser oscillator. For a description of the other components, refer to the corresponding manuals, supplied by the machine tool builder.

Read this manual thoroughly and store it in a safe place.

C1000-E, C2000-E, and C4000-E produce the rated output laser power of 1000W, 2000W, and 4000W. The CO wavelength of 10.6 µm, far infrared, and is invisible to human eyes. The adequate care must be taken when CO therefore. When removing the panel, always turn the power source off and confirm no power is applied to the laser machine.

This oscillator fulfills the requirements of the relevant product safety standard of EN60825-1:1994.

2.1 LASER BEAM

1) Potential hazards Laser oscillator emits CO power and invisible.

• Being directly exposed to the CO

• The CO

beam could bource off your workpiece and burn

your eyes or skin. LASER oscillator have a guide laser. The guide laser beam is visible (red color) and low power. It is used to ensure that the CO

beam is correctly positioned on your workpiece.

2

• The diode laser beam is not considered harmful to your skin.

But if you stared head on into the guide laser beam, it could harm your eyes.

2) Safety recommendations Never expose the eyes and skin to the laser beam. Be careful of the laser beam when performing the inspection and maintenance. Do not turn on the power supply to the oscillator when the panel open and do not drive. It is bleached to radiation of the laser beam and high voltage. Do the countermeasure (For instance, installs safety glasses and the protection gloves) to danger in case of stopped no finish and nor opening the panel while it energizes the oscillator. Install beam safety cover after mirror cleaning or replacement. And if not beam safety cover installation, do not operation and alignment. Confirm when it does alignment, the protection pipe (Safety cover) is installed. If it dose not install the protection pipe, it will put the finger in the laser beam and there is possibility to do the burn. When entering the area exposed to the scattered beam, wear the safety glasses. Mount the stand made of acrylic resin or any material which can absorb the CO personnel from the scattered beam. Avoid exposure of any part of your body to the CO When testing the beam output, any personnel other than the maintenance personnel should be out of the working environment. In designing a material processing machine utilizing laser oscillator, be sure that the CO workpiece only through the enclosed beam delivery system. This prevents the exposure to laser beam by the operator switch could otherwise take place. It is absolutely necessary to include the instructions given here in the manuals of the laser materialprocessing machine as a whole, which are to be read.

2.2 HIGH VOLTAGE

1) Potential hazards There is RF voltage of 3 to 4kVo-p in the cabinet of the laser oscillator. There is 200 VAC power in the relay panel, be careful not to touch the high voltage.

2) Safety recommendations When it checks the oscillator and exchange the unit, intercept a main breaker of the oscillator and the power supply. Lock the breaker to prevent misconnection and display the sign while working. Install safety cover after unit replacement or cable connection. Unless safety cover is installed, never perform operation. Follow standard industrial safety practices for working with high voltage. EXAMPLES

• Do not work on the laser oscillator if you are tired or have

taken medicine.

• Do not wear anything metal, like a ring, bracelet, watch,

belt buckle, earrings, or keys.

• They might contact high voltage.

• Never stand on a wet surface.

• Do not touch electrical components in the cabinets with

both hands at once. Keep one hand in a pocket.
