SAFETY

Introduction

The Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser consists of 4 assemblies.

1. HFL015 Fiber Laser Supply, part number 051023

Note: The HFL015 fiber laser supply, part number 051023, was certified to IEC 61010-1 Safety requirements

for electrical equipment for measurement, control, and laboratory use which covers electrical safety.

2. Fiber Laser Gas Console, part number 051024

3. Fiber Laser Head Controller, part number 051026

4. Fiber Laser Head LF150, part number 051025

“Machine builder” in this context is meant to include any person that integrates the Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser into their final laser cutting system.

The Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser is designed as COMPONENTS FOR INCORPORATION into a laser cutting system for industrial and manufacturing environments. The machine builder is responsible for proper adherence to any and all laser and machine safety regulations and certifications for the laser cutting system designed and manufactured by the machine builder. If required by local code, the machine builder or customer shall make arrangements for the final laser cutting system to be inspected and approved for compliance with local codes and standards by an accredited testing laboratory or third party expert acceptable to the regulatory authority having jurisdiction for the final installation.

Laser beam cutting is a thermal cutting process that uses heat from a laser beam with high-pressure assist gas to augment the removal of metal material. There are general hazards associated with metal cutting and specific hazards using lasers for metal cutting that need to be evaluated and mitigated. The following information provided with the Hypertherm HFL015 fiber laser is intended to inform the machine builder and the body responsible for the implementation of workplace and laser safety at the installed site of their responsibilities for safe design, installation and use. The appropriate local codes and standards for the final installation shall be consulted. Should any information in this document be in contravention to local codes and standards, the local codes and standards shall take precedence.

HFL015 fiber laser intended for use in laser cutting systems

The Fiber Laser as sold by Hypertherm is a component intended for sale to machine builders designing and installing the final laser cutting systems. The machine builder has to mount the laser head and enclose the beam and fiber laser cable in a manner that satisfies all applicable standards and regulations. The machine builder has responsibility for the safe design, safe installation, safe use and safe maintenance of the final laser cutting system including but not limited to the provisions to prevent access to the fiber laser beam in the final laser cutting system.

All equipment shall be installed in compliance with the local regulations ( electrical safety, laser safety, workplace safety, etc.) and any verification required by local regulatory authorities having jurisdiction for the site(s) where the final laser cutting system with Hypertherm Fiber Laser components are installed and operated. Voltages inside the Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser Supply enclosure are sufficient to cause fatal injury. The equipment shall be installed by competent and qualified personnel in accordance with the final laser cutting system instructions. In addition to these instructions, ANSI Z136.1 and IEC EN 60825-1 are the recommended primary sources for laser safety information.

Operating instructions, guidelines, and rules

Protection of personnel

Good housekeeping with areas free from trip and fall hazards shall be maintained in the workplace so that the final laser cutting system, automated and semi-automated material transport machines, fiber laser and electrical cables, and other apparatus do not create a hazard to operators, service and other personnel including visitors. Appropriate safeguards and warning signs shall be provided to prevent slips, falls, electric shock, burns, inhalation of gases and fumes, and exposure to noise, vibration and heat. Refer to the Safety and Compliance Manual published by Hypertherm for Plasma Cutting Systems which covers many of the same hazards for metal cutting and protection of personnel in the workplace except for Laser Safety aspects which are covered in ANSI Z136.1 and IEC EN 60825-al.

Note: The employer should conduct a physical demands analysis to ensure that any personal protective equipment does not

create a health hazard (e.g., neck , back and wrist problems associated with prolonged or repetitive use)

Laser safety officer

A Laser Safety Officer (LSO) shall be appointed at each facility using a fiber laser for welding or cutting. The duties and responsibilities of the LSO should be as outlined in ANSI Z136.1, Section 1.3 in the US or other laser safety regulations applicable to the OEM laser cutting systems at the final installation site.

Note: The LSO is responsible for ensuring that all operators are properly trained and fully aware of the safe

operation and hazards of operating a laser welding or cutting system. The LSO is also responsible for communicating and enforcing safety procedures to ensure all personnel (operator, service and visitors) understand the theory of operation for the OEM laser cutting end product and site safety instructions before entering a restricted area or room where a laser can be operating.

The Laser Safety Officer (LSO) shall with support from the final laser cutting system manufacturer conduct a hazard evaluation at the site that takes at least the following into consideration:

A. the potential hazards produced by the operation of the laser equipment;

B. the inherent hazards in the environment in which the equipment is to be operated;

C. the hazards that may occur with operation of the equipment in that environment; and

D. the individuals who may be affected by the hazards.

After completion of this hazard evaluation, the Laser Safety Officer (LSO) shall define the specific laser safety personal protective equipment requirements and procedures.

Condition of laser beam equipment

All laser beam equipment shall be maintained in good mechanical and electrical condition by competent or qualified maintenance personnel as specified by the machine builder. The operator shall report any equipment malfunction, defect, or safety hazard to the laser safety officer, and the use of the equipment shall be discontinued until its safeness has been ensured by the laser safety officer. Repairs shall be made only by competent or qualified maintenance personnel.

Laser safety

This product is a Class 4 laser capable of cutting metal. The Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser is specifically designed for incorporation or integration into other equipment. As such, it DOES NOT MEET the full requirements for a standalone laser system as defined by 21 CFR 1040.10 and IEC/EN 60825-1. Within the EU, the equipment is supplied with a Certificate of Incorporation indicating harmonized standards considered in the design.

“Machine builder” in this context is meant to include any person that integrates the Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser into their final laser cutting system, or any person who uses the Hypertherm HFL015 Fiber Laser in the form as supplied by Hypertherm.

The label shown below has been affixed to the HFL015 Fiber Laser Supply, part number 051023 to satisfy the US Code of Federal Regulations which indicates equipment does not need to comply with the requirements of 21CFR1040.10 and 21CFR1040.11 for a complete laser product, provided the equipment is labeled with a statement that it is designated for use solely as a component.

safety

During installation it is vital that the laser hazard is fully managed. In particular, the machine builder is required to implement the engineering requirements detailed in IEC/EN 60825-1. Based on the evaluation or certification of the final laser cutting system, additional laser safety warnings may be provided by the machine builder or by the laser safety officer at the installed site.

Health concerns

Personnel assigned to operate or maintain laser beam cutting equipment shall have been properly trained by the machine builders representative or by a qualified instructor and shall understand the safety requirements of metal cutting using lasers.

Laser safety eyewear (LSE)

Laser safety eyewear (LSE) is designed to reduce the amount of incident light of specific wavelengths to a safe level, while transmitting sufficient light for good vision. As LSE often looks alike in style and color, it is important to specifically check both the wavelength and optical density imprinted on all LSE prior to laser use, especially in multi-wavelength facilities where more than one laser may be located. In the USA reference to ANSI Z136.1 is recommended for the selection of appropriate eye wear to protect against reflections of laser radiation.

Acoustical noise

The noise generated by laser beam welding, cutting, or gouging may impair hearing. Hearing protection shall be worn where the noise level exceeds limits as specified by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction Since operators and nearby personnel can be exposed to noise levels in excess of 85 dB(A), it is important that their hearing be protected. The most direct way to control excessive noise is to reduce the intensity at the source or install barriers in the final laser cutting system between the source and the operator station(s). When engineering or administrative control methods fail to bring noise exposure within levels established by the appropriate regulatory authority having jurisdiction, personal protective devices such as earmuffs or earplugs shall be used. It is the responsibility of the machine builder and the body responsible for the implementation of workplace / laser safety at the installed site to measure the acoustical noise in application and ensure personnel are protected from noise levels that exceed limits.

Warning signs

Warning signs shall be posted in conspicuous areas to indicate laser and cutting hazards. The signs shall indicate the need for the appropriate types of protective equipment.

Gas, fumes and air quality

Fumes and gases are generated by removal of metal from the workpiece being cut during laser beam cutting. The body responsible for workplace / laser safety at the installed site needs to control the materials being cut. Before cutting any unfamiliar materials or using any unfamiliar cleaning materials, the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) shall be read to determine whether any hazards may exist when the material removed will be converted to a gas by laser cutting.

Personnel shall not be exposed to concentrations of airborne contaminants above acceptable limits as established by the authority having jurisdiction. The most direct way to control fumes and gases is by ventilation. Air Quality permits may be needed to release fumes outside the building. Consult a local expert for information on local air quality permits, ventilation and fume extraction. Where ventilation alone cannot protect personnel, appropriate personal respiratory protection shall be used as required by the authority having jurisdiction. Where respirators are employed, requirements for the selection and use of respirators shall include, as a minimum, the following:

A. Written procedures for the proper care, use, maintenance, and storage of respirators shall be provided, and the

employer shall ensure that these procedures are followed. These procedures shall be developed and set down in writing in consultation with the joint health and safety committee or the health and safety representative, as applicable; and made readily accessible, along with related schedules, to the welder andwelding personnel.

Hypertherm Fiber Laser Instruction Manual – 807090 Revision 3 S-9

safety

B. The OEM laser cutting end product recommended maintenance and cleaning schedules and procedures shall

be followed.

C. Adequate and suitable storage facilities for respirators shall be provided.

D. A person with the appropriate skills and knowledge shall be assigned to examine respirators and carry out the

tests or procedures necessary to ensure that they serve their intended purpose; and ensure that the respirators ﬁt the individual workers correctly and are appropriate for their intended purpose.

E. The employer shall provide training and instruction for workers and supervisors on the proper use, care,

maintenance, and storage of respirators.

For fume and gases air sampling, where concentrations of airborne fume contaminants are to be determined by sampling of the atmosphere, sampling shall be tested using the NIOSH methodology, other recognized methods, or the guidelines of the authority having jurisdiction. When a helmet is worn, the samples shall be collected inside the helmet in the operator’s breathing zone. The occupational exposure limits shall comply with the regulatory authority having jurisdiction. Contaminant and fume analysis in the lab is covered under two areas:

A. Total welding fume particulate (mg/m3).

B. An elemental analysis of each contaminant (mg/m3). The contaminant particulate and fume testing is important

to determine the exposure risk to personnel.

Confined spaces

Confined spaces are defined specifically in the codes and regulations that apply to each work project. Confined spaces need to be considered when the access or egress of personnel is restricted and there is a potential for the accumulation of a hazardous gas, fume, vapor, and dust, or the development of an oxygen-deficient or oxygen-enriched atmosphere that is likely to affect the health and safety of a worker.

If needed, the body responsible for the implementation of workplace / laser safety at the installed site shall have written rescue procedures for confined space emergencies. Before the operator or service personnel enters a confined space to undertake any welding, cutting, or allied process, the personnel shall be informed of and understand the hazards of the confined space and receive instruction on safe procedures for entering, working in, and exiting from theconfinedspace.

Before a person enters a confined space, a leak test should be done on all joints of any hose or pipelines that have the potential to introduce gases into the confined space. This leak test is done in order to eliminate the possibility of gases being introduced into the confined space.

Oxygen gas distribution for laser cutting

Oxygen distribution system including connections and valves shall be approved by the regulatory authority having jurisdiction.

• Each outlet on the service piping from which oxygen is withdrawn to supply a portable outlet header shall be equipped with a readily accessible shutoff valve.

• Each service outlet on portable outlet headers shall be provided with a check valve, a readily accessible shutoff valve, and a detachable outlet seal cap that is chained or otherwise attached to the body of the valve.

• Master shutoff valves for oxygen shall be provided at the entry end of the portable outlet header.

• Portable outlet headers for fuel gas service shall be provided with an approved hydraulic backpressure valve

installed at the inlet and preceding the service outlets, unless an approved pressure-reducing regulator, an approved backﬂow check valve, or an approved hydraulic backpressure valve is installed at each outlet. Outlets provided on headers for oxygen service may be ﬁtted for use with pressure-reducing regulators or for direct hoseconnection.

• Hose for oxygen-fuel gas service shall meet the requirements of RMA IP-7 and CGA E-1.

• Cylinder manifolds, shutoff valves, pressure-reducing regulators, backpressure valves, hoses and connections

shall be installed under the supervision of someone properly trained in their assembly and use.

In North America, hose diameters of 19 mm (3/4 in) or smaller are color-coded green for oxygen and red for fuel gases (acetylene, liquefied petroleum gases (LPG), natural gas, hydrogen, etc.). Black hose is used for inert gases, compressed air, and water services.

Note: ISO standard colors are blue for oxygen hose and orange for LPG hose.

Public exhibitions and demonstrations

Safety precautions specific to welding and cutting performed at public demonstrations and exhibits shall protect viewers, demonstrators, and the public. Installation and operation of welding, cutting, and related equipment shall be under the supervision of a competent person designated to ensure the safety of the public. The site shall be so constructed, equipped, and operated as to minimize the possibility of injury to viewers at the site. Materials and equipment on-site shall be located so as not to interfere with evacuation of people during an emergency. Sites shall be provided with an appropriate type of portable fire extinguisher. Combustible materials at the site shall be shielded from flames, sparks, and molten metal or moved to a safe distance, i.e., 15 m (50 ft). The fire department shall be notified in advance of the public exhibition and demonstration. The public shall be shielded from flames, flying sparks, molten metal, harmful laser radiation, inhalation of hazardous concentrations of fumes and gases and contact with live electrical arts.

Large area viewing

For large area viewing, such as training, demonstrations, shows, and certain automatic laser welding and cutting operations, a large filter window or curtain may be used rather than individual helmets, hand shields, or goggles. It is important to specifically check both the wavelength and optical density for a large filter window or curtain. Acombination of windows or curtains and laser safety eye wear (LSE) may be used.

PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP

Introduction

Hypertherm maintains a global Regulatory Management System to ensure that products comply with regulatory and environmental requirements.

National and local safety regulations

National and Local safety regulations shall take precedence over any instructions provided with the product. The product shall be imported, installed, operated and disposed of in accordance with national and local regulations applicable to the installed site.

Certification test marks

Certified products are identified by one or more certification test marks from accredited testing laboratories. The certification test marks are located onornear the data plate.

Each certification test mark means that the product and its safety-critical components conform to the relevant national safety standards as reviewed and determined by that testing laboratory. Hypertherm places a certification test mark on its products only after that product is manufactured with safety-critical components that have been authorized by the accredited testing laboratory.

Once the product has left the Hypertherm factory, the certification test marks are invalidated if any of the following occurs:

• Theproductismodifiedinamannerthatcreates

a hazard or non-conformance with the applicable standards.

• Safety-criticalcomponentsarereplacedwith

unauthorized spare parts.

• Anyunauthorizedassembly,oraccessorythatusesor

generates a hazardous voltage is added.

• Thereisanytamperingwithasafetycircuitorother

feature that is designed into the product as part of the certification, or otherwise.

CE marking constitutes a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity to applicable European directives and standards. Only those versions of Hypertherm products with a CE Marking located on or near the data plate have been tested for compliance with the European Low Voltage Directive and the European EMC Directive. EMC filters needed to comply with the European EMC Directive

are incorporated within versions of the power supply with a CE Marking.

Certificates of compliance for Hypertherm products are available fromthe Downloads Library on the Hypertherm web site at

https://www.hypertherm.com.

Differences in national standards

Nations may apply different performance, safety or other standards. National differences in standards include, but are not limited to:

• Voltages

• Plugandcordratings

• Languagerequirements

• Electromagneticcompatibilityrequirements

These differences in national or other standards may make it impossible or impractical for all certification test marks to be placed on the same version of a product. For example, the CSA versions of Hypertherm’s products do not comply with European EMC requirements, and therefore do not have a CE marking on the data plate.

Countries that require CE marking or have compulsory EMC regulations must use CE versions of Hypertherm products with the CE marking on the data plate. These include, but are not limited to:

• Australia

• NewZealand

• CountriesintheEuropeanUnion

• Russia

It is important that the product and its certification test mark be suitable for the end-use installation site. When Hypertherm products are shipped to one country for export to another country; the product must be configured and certified properly for the end-use site.

Safe installation and use of shape cutting equipment

IEC 60974-9, titled Arc Welding Equipment – Installation and use, provides guidance in the safe installation and use of shape cutting equipment and the safe performance of cutting operations. The requirements of national and local regulations shall be taken into consideration during installation, including, but not limited to, grounding or

Hypertherm Fiber Laser Instruction Manual – 807090 Revision 3 PS-1

product stewardship

protective earth connections, fuses, supply disconnecting device, and type of supply circuit. Read these instructions before installing the equipment. The first and most important step is the safety assessment of the installation.

The safety assessment must be performed by an expert, and determines what steps are necessary to create a safe environment, and what precautions should be adopted during the actual installation and operation.

Procedures for periodic inspection and testing

Where required by local national regulations, IEC60974-4 specifies test procedures for periodic inspection and after repair or maintenance, to ensure electrical safety for plasma cutting power sources built in conformity with IEC 60974-1. Hypertherm performs the continuity of the protective circuit and insulation resistance tests in the factory as non-operating tests. The tests are performed with the power and ground connections removed.

Hypertherm also removes some protective devices that would cause false test results. Where required by local national regulations, a label shall be attached to the equipment to indicate that it has passed the tests prescribed by IEC60974-4. The repair report shall indicate the results of all tests unless an indication is made that a particular test has not been performed.

Qualification of test personnel

Electrical safety tests for shape cutting equipment can be hazardous and shall be carried out by an expert in the field of electrical repair, preferably someone also familiar with welding, cutting, and allied processes. The safety risks to personnel and equipment, when unqualified personnel are performing these tests, may be much greater than the benefit of periodic inspection and testing.

Hypertherm recommends that only visual inspection be performed unless the electrical safety tests are specifically required by local national regulations in the country where the equipment is installed.

Residual current devices (RCDs)

In Australia and some other countries, local codes may require the use of a Residual Current Devices (RCD) when portable electrical equipment is used in the workplace or at construction sites to protect operators from electrical faults in the equipment. RCDs are designed to safely disconnect the mains electrical supply when an imbalance is detected between the supply and return current (there is a leakage current to earth). RCDs are available with both fixed and adjustable trip currents between 6to 40 milliamperes and a range of trip times up to 300milliseconds selected for the equipment installation, application and intended use. Where RCDs are used, the trip current and trip time on RCDs should be selected or adjusted high enough to avoid nuisance tripping during normal operation of the plasma cutting equipment and low enough in the extremely unlikely event of an electrical fault in the equipment to disconnect the supply before the leakage current under a fault condition can pose a life threatening electrical hazard to operators.

To verify that the RCDs continue to function properly over time, both the trip current and the trip time should be tested periodically. Portable electrical equipment and RCDs used in commercial and industrial areas in Australia and New Zealand are tested to the Australian standard AS/ NZS3760. When you test the insulation of plasma cutting equipment to AS/ NZS 3760, measure the insulation resistance according to Appendix B of the standard, at 250VDC with the power switch in the ON position to verify proper testing and to avoid the false failure of the leakage current test. False failures are possible because the metal oxide varistors (MOVs) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) filters, used to reduce emissions and protect the equipment from power surges, may conduct up to 10milliamperes leakage current to earth under normal conditions.

If you have any questions regarding the application or interpretation of any IEC standards described here, you are required to consult with an appropriate legal or other advisor familiar with the International Electrotechnical standards, and shall not rely on Hypertherm in any respect regarding the interpretation or application of such standards.

PS-2 Hypertherm Fiber Laser Instruction Manual – 807090 Revision 3

Higher-level systems

When a system integrator adds additional equipment; such as cutting tables, motor drives, motion controllers or robots; to a Hypertherm plasma cutting system, the combined system may be considered a higher-level system. A higher-level system with hazardous moving parts may constitute industrial machinery or robotic equipment, in which case the OEM or end-use customer may be subject to additional regulations and standards than those relevant to the plasma cutting system as manufactured by Hypertherm.

It is the responsibility of the end-use customer and the OEM to perform a risk assessment for the higher-level system, and to provide protection against hazardous moving parts. Unless the higher-level system is certified when the OEM incorporates Hypertherm products into it, the installation also may be subject to approval by local authorities. Seek advice from legal counsel and local regulatory experts if you are uncertain about compliance.

External interconnecting cables between component parts of the higher level system must be suitable for contaminants and movement as required by the final end use installation site. When the external interconnecting cables are subject to oil, dust, water, or other contaminants, hard usage ratings may be required.

Product stewardshiP

When external interconnecting cables are subject to continuous movement, constant flexing ratings may be required. It is the responsibility of the end-use customer or the OEM to ensure the cables are suitable for the application. Since there are differences in the ratings and costs that can be required by local regulations for higher level systems, it is necessary to verify that any external interconnecting cables are suitable for the end-use installation site.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

Introduction

The Hypertherm Environmental Specification requires RoHS, WEEE and REACH substance information to be provided by Hypertherm’s suppliers.

Product environmental compliance does not address the indoor air quality or environmental release of fumes by the end user. Any materials that are cut by the end user are not provided by Hypertherm with the product. The end user is responsible for the materials being cut as well as for safety and air quality in the workplace. The end user must be aware of the potential health risks of the fumes released from the materials being cut and comply with all local regulations.

National and local environmental regulations

National and local environmental regulations shall take precedence over any instructions contained in this manual.

The product shall be imported, installed, operated and disposed of in accordance with all national and local environmental regulations applicable to the installed site.

The European Environmental regulations are discussed later in TheWEEE Directive.

The RoHS directive

Hypertherm is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations, including the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive that restricts the use of hazardous materials in electronics products. Hypertherm exceeds RoHS Directive compliance obligations on a global basis.

Hypertherm continues to work toward the reduction of RoHS materials in our products, which are subject to the RoHS Directive, except where it is widely recognized that there is no feasible alternative.

Declarations of RoHS Conformity have been prepared for the current CE versions of Powermax plasma cutting systems manufactured by Hypertherm. There is also a “RoHS mark” on the Powermax CE versions below the “CE Marking” on the data plate of CE versions of Powermax series units shipped since 2006. Parts used in CSA versions of Powermax and other products manufactured by Hypertherm that are either out of scope or exempt from RoHS are continuously being converted to RoHS compliance in anticipation of future requirements.

Proper disposal of Hypertherm products

Hypertherm plasma cutting systems, like all electronic products, may contain materials or components, such as printed circuit boards, that cannot be discarded with ordinary waste. It is your responsibility to dispose of any Hypertherm product or component part in an environmentally acceptable manner according to national and localcodes.

The WEEE directive

On January 27, 2003, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union authorized Directive 2002/96/EC or WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment).

As required by the legislation, any Hypertherm product covered by the directive and sold in the EU after August 13, 2005 is marked with the WEEE symbol. This directive encourages and sets specific criteria for the collection, handling, and recycling of EEE waste. Consumer and business-to-business wastes are treated differently (all Hypertherm products are considered business-tobusiness). Disposal instructions for the CE versions of Powermax plasma systems can be found at www.hypertherm.com/weee.

The URL is printed on the symbol-only warning label for each of these CE version Powermax series units shipped since 2006. The CSA versions of Powermax and other products manufactured by Hypertherm are either out of scope or exempt from WEEE.

The REACH regulation

The REACH regulation (1907/2006), in force since June1, 2007, has an impact on chemicals available to the European market. The REACH regulation requirements for component manufacturers states that the component shall not contain more than 0.1% by weight of the Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC).

Component manufacturers and other downstream users, such as Hypertherm, are obligated to obtain assurances from its suppliers that all chemicals used in or on Hypertherm products will have a European Chemical Agency (ECHA) registration number. To provide chemical information as required by the REACH regulation, Hypertherm requires suppliers to provide REACH declarations and identify any known use of REACH SVHC. Any use of SVHC in amounts exceeding 0.1% w/w of the parts has been eliminated. The MSDS contains a full disclosure of all substances in the chemical and can be used to verify REACH SVHC compliance.

The lubricants, sealants, coolants, adhesives, solvents, coatings and other preparations or mixtures used by Hypertherm in, on, for, or with its shape cutting equipment are used in very small quantities (except the coolant) and are commercially available with multiple sources that can and will be replaced in the event of a supplier problem associated with REACH Registration or REACH Authorization (SVHCs).

Proper handling and safe use of chemicals

Chemical Regulations in the USA, Europe, and other locations require that Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) be made available for all chemicals. The list of chemicals is provided by Hypertherm. The MSDS are for chemicals provided with the product and other chemicals used in or on the product. MSDS can be downloaded from the Downloads Library on the Hypertherm web site at https:// www.hypertherm.com. On the Search screen, insert MSDS in the document title and click on Search.

Fumes emission and air quality

Note: The following information on air quality is

intended for general information only and should not be used as a substitute for reviewing and implementing applicable government regulations or legal standards in the country where the cutting equipment will be installed and operated.

In the USA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM) is a collection of methods for sampling and analyzing contaminants in workplace air. Methods published by others, such as OSHA, MSHA, EPA, ASTM, ISO or commercial suppliers of sampling and analytical equipment, may have advantages over NIOSH methods.

For example, ASTM Practice D 4185 is a standard practice for the collection, dissolution, and determination of trace metals in workplace atmospheres. The sensitivity, detection limit, and optimum working concentrations for 23 metals are listed in ASTMD4185. An industrial hygienist should be used to determine the optimum sampling protocol, considering analytical accuracy, cost, and optimum sample number. Hypertherm uses a third party industrial hygienist to perform and interpret air quality testing results taken by air sampling equipment positioned at operator stations in Hypertherm buildings where plasma cutting tables are installed and operated.

Where applicable, Hypertherm also uses a third party industrial hygienist to obtain air and water permits.

If you are not fully aware and up to date on all applicable government regulations and legal standards for the installation site, you should consult a local expert prior to purchasing, installing, and operating theequipment.

In the USA, OSHA does not require Material Safety Data Sheets for articles such as electrodes, swirl rings, retaining caps, nozzles, shields, deflectors and other solid parts of the torch.

Hypertherm does not manufacture or provide the materials that are cut and has no knowledge whether the fumes released from materials that are cut will pose a physical hazard or health risk. Please consult with your supplier or other technical advisor if you need guidance concerning the properties of the material you will cut using a Hypertherm product.

ES-2 Hypertherm Fiber Laser Instruction Manual – 807090 Revision 3

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

Introduction

Hypertherm’s CE-marked equipment is built in compliance with standard EN60974-10. The equipment should be installed and used in accordance with the information below to achieve electromagnetic compatibility.

The limits required by EN60974-10 may not be adequate to completely eliminate interference when the affected equipment is in close proximity or has a high degree of sensitivity. In such cases it may be necessary to use other measures to further reduce interference.

This cutting equipment is designed for use only in an industrial environment.

Installation and use

The user is responsible for installing and using the cutting equipment according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user to resolve the situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the cutting circuit, see Earthing of the workpiece. In other cases, it could involve constructing an electromagnetic screen enclosing the power source and the work complete with associated input filters. In all cases, electromagnetic disturbances must be reduced to the point where they are no longer troublesome.

Assessment of area

Before installing the equipment, the user shall make an assessment of potential electromagnetic problems in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into account:

a. Other supply cables, control cables, signaling and

telephone cables; above, below and adjacent to the cutting equipment.

Methods of reducing emissions

Mains supply

Cutting equipment must be connected to the mains supply according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains supply.

Compliance Information EMC-1

1/12

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed cutting equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should be connected to the cutting mains supply so that good electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the cutting power source enclosure.

Maintenance of cutting equipment

The cutting equipment must be routinely maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. All access and service doors and covers should be closed and properly fastened when the cutting equipment is in operation. The cutting equipment should not be modified in any way, except as set forth in and in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions.

Cutting cables

The cutting cables should be kept as short as possible and should be positioned close together, running at or close to the floor level.

Equipotential bonding

Bonding of all metallic components in the cutting installation and adjacent to it should be considered.

However, metallic components bonded to the workpiece will increase the risk that the operator could receive a shock by touching these metallic components and the electrode (nozzle for laser heads) at the same time.

Earthing of the workpiece

Where the workpiece is not bonded to earth for electrical safety, nor connected to earth because of its size and position, for example, ship’s hull or building steel work, a connection bonding the workpiece to earth may reduce emissions in some, but not all instances. Care should be taken to prevent the earthing of the workpiece increasing the risk of injury to users, or damage to other electrical equipment. Where necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made by a direct connection to the workpiece, but in some countries where direct connection is not permitted, the bonding should be achieved by suitable capacitances selected according to national regulations.

Note: The cutting circuit may or may not be earthed for safety reasons. Changing the earthing arrangements should only be authorized by a person who is competent to assess whether the changes will in crease the risk of injury, for example, by allowing parallel cutting current return paths which may damage the earth circuits of other equipment. Further guidance is provided in IEC 60974-9, Arc Welding Equip ment, Part 9: Installation and Use.

Screening and shielding

Selective screening and shielding of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may alleviate problems of interference. Screening of the entire cutting system may be considered for special applications.

The operator should be insulated from all such bonded metallic components.

Fiber laser supply

Overview

The HyIntensity Fiber Laser (HFL) is a laser system based on all solid state components. The fiber laser supply contains two to six laser engines and a beam combiner unit. Incoming electricity is converted to optical power by single emitter based pump laser diodes in each engine, which is converted to a high brightness infrared (non-visible) laser beam. Light from each of the laser engines enters the beam combiner unit which funnels the light into a single output fiber. This configuration has a wall plug electrical to optical output power efficiency greater than 28%. All of the optical components are water cooled to provide stable operation. A dehumidifier in the fiber laser supply maintains the humidity level inside the cabinet enclosure.

Recommended grounding and shielding practices

DANGER

ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL

Disconnect electrical power before performing any maintenance. All work requiring the removal of the power supply cover must be performed by a qualified technician. See Section 1 of the laser/plasma system instruction manual for more safety precautions.

Introduction

This document describes the grounding and shielding necessary to protect a laser/plasma cutting system installation against radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise. It addresses the three grounding systems described below. There is a diagram on page 3-10 for reference.

Note: These procedures and practices are not known to succeed in every case to eliminate RFI/EMI noise

issues. The practices listed here have been used on many installations with excellent results, and we recommend that these practices be a routine part of the installation process. Theactual methods used to implement these practices may vary from system to system, but should remain as consistent as possible across the product line.

Types of grounding

A. The safety (PE) or service ground. This is the grounding system that applies to the incoming line voltage. It

prevents a shock hazard to any personnel from any of the equipment, or the work table. It includes the service ground coming into the laser/plasma power supply and other systems such as the CNC controller and the motor drivers, as well as the supplemental ground rod connected to the work table. In the laser/plasma circuits, the ground is carried from the laser/plasma power supply chassis to the chassis of each separate console through the interconnecting cables.

B. RFI and EMI grounding and shielding. This is the grounding system that limits the amount of electrical “noise”

emitted by the laser/plasma and motor drive systems. It also limits the amount of noise that is received by the CNC and other control and measurement circuits. This grounding/shielding process is the main target of this document.

InstallatIon

Steps to take

1. Unless noted, use only 6 AWG (16 mm2) welding cable (Hypertherm part no. 047040) for the EMI ground cables shown on the diagram.

2. The cutting table is used for the common, or star, EMI ground point and should have threaded studs welded to the table with a copper bus bar mounted on them. A separate bus bar should be mounted on the gantry as close to each drive motor as possible. If there are drive motors at each end of the gantry, run a separate EMI ground cable from the far drive motor to the gantry bus bar. The gantry bus bar should have a separate, heavy EMI ground cable (4 AWG [21.2 mm2] part no. 047031) to the table bus bar. The EMI ground cables for the torch lifter and the RHF console must each run separately to the table ground bus.

3. A ground rod that meets all applicable local and national electrical codes must be installed within 6 m (20 ft) of thetable. This is a PE ground and should be connected to the ground bus on the cutting table with 6 AWG (16mm2) green/yellow grounding cable (Hypertherm part number 047121) or equivalent. All PE grounds are shown on the diagram in green.

4. For the most effective shielding, use the Hypertherm CNC interface cables for I/O signals, serial communication signals, power supply-to-power supply multi-drop connections, and interconnections between all parts of the Hypertherm system.

5. All hardware used in the ground system must be brass or copper. The only exception is that the studs welded to the table for mounting the ground bus can be steel. Under no circumstances should aluminum or steel hardware be used.

6. AC power, PE, and service grounds must be connected to all equipment according to local and nationalcodes.

7. Each Hypertherm component, as well as any other CNC or motor-drive cabinet or enclosure, must have a separate ground cable to the common (star) point on the table. This includes the ignition console, even if it is bolted to the power supply or to the cutting machine.

8. The laser head holder and the breakaway mechanism – the part mounted to the lifter, not the part mounted on thetorch – must be connected to the stationary part of the lifter with copper braid at least 12.7 mm (1/2 in) wide. Aseparate cable must run from the lifter to the bus bar on the gantry. The valve assembly should also have a separate ground connection to the gantry bus bar.

9. If the gantry runs on rails that are not welded to the table, then the rails need to be connected with a ground cable from each end of both rails to the table. These need not go to the common (star) point, but could take the shortest path to the table.

10. All other signals (analog, digital, serial, encoder) should run in twisted pairs inside a shielded cable. Connectors on these cables should have a metal housing and the shield, not the drain, should be connected to the metal housing of the connectors at each end of the cable. Never run the shield or the drain through the connector on any of the pins.

Lifting the fiber laser supply

DANGER

The fiber laser supply weighs between 185 kg and 283.5 kg (410 lbs and 625 lbs). 1 or 2 person manual lifting could cause injury. Use appropriate lifting aids and techniques when moving a fiber laser supply.

The customer understands and assumes exclusive responsibility for supplying personnel trained and qualified to operate forklifts, cranes, hoists and other lifting devices to lift or move the fiber laser. All movement of the fiber laser supply must be done in compliance with applicable local laws and regulations. All handling equipment must be evaluated for each application and inspected and tested before each use. The fiber laser supply can be moved by forklift, but the forks must be long enough to extend the entire length of the base. Take care when lifting so that the underside of the fiber laser supply is not damaged. The customer agrees to observe and ensure compliance with the following:

• The straps and other handling equipment must comply with applicable local standards, laws and regulations.

• The rated capacity, design factor, and efﬁciency rating of the lifting system, including straps sold by Hypertherm,

may be affected by wear, misuse, overloading, corrosion, deformation, intentional alteration, age, and other use conditions.

• An inspection of the straps by qualiﬁed personnel should be conducted before each use. Worn or damaged straps may not be used, nor may they be altered or modiﬁed in any way.

• All 4 loops at the ends of the straps must be securely and properly attached to the lifting mechanism.

• The ﬁber laser supply is a nonsymmetrical load; make sure that an analysis by a qualiﬁed person is performed

properly to balance the load to prevent tipping and overloading of any one strap.

• All enclosure panels must be securely fastened before lifting the ﬁber laser supply.

• The lifting mechanism must be rated for the appropriate weight and be suitable for the strap size.

• Each strap should pass through all 4 lifting eyelets in the top of the ﬁber laser supply and should not be twisted,

constricted, bunched or pinched.

• Straps shall not be shortened or lengthened by knotting, twisting, choker hitching, or other means.

• The ﬁber laser supply should be lifted slowly, not more than 203 mm (8 in) above the ﬂoor, to insure that the

weight is evenly distributed.

• The ﬁber laser supply should be moved slowly to prevent sudden acceleration and deceleration when moving.

• Access to the area should be restricted when moving or lifting to prevent injury of personnel if the ﬁber laser

supply shifts or tips.

• Personnel should never be allowed to place themselves or any part of the body under the equipment, or between the equipment and walls or other solid objects.

Mounting the gas console

The gas console is usually mounted on the gantry to allow visibility to the operator. Additionally, the cutting gas supply line between the console and laser head should be kept as short as possible to reduce pressure loss with a maximum hose length of 10 m (30 ft). The supply lines to the gas console must be sized appropriately to support the required pressures and flow rates for each gas.

The gas console for the laser cutting process is designed to cover the normal operating parameters for the assist gas needed for laser cutting of mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Additional outputs from the gas console are provided for cooling of the laser head and a side jet for piercing of thicker materials. A supply of oxygen, nitrogen, and air is required for proper operation, and the requirements are outlined in the Specifications section. To achieve the required dynamic assist gas pressure performance for laser cutting, the maximum length of hose between the gas console and the laser head is 10 m (30 ft). Use the 10 m (30 ft) hose (024874) supplied with this system.

Beam delivery optical cable connection

The optical power from the fiber laser supply is delivered through the beam delivery optical cable/optics. Because of the small surface area and the high power levels, cleanliness of the input and output optical surfaces is critical to component lifetime and proper operation. The optical surface at the bayonet end of the Beam delivery optical cable should be inspected, with the magnifier that was supplied with the system, before installation and whenever it is removed from the collimator. To prevent contamination and chipping, the optical surface should not be touched. See page 4-4 for details of the inspection and cleaning procedure.

Caution: The minimum bend radius of the Beam delivery optical cable is 100mm

(4 in). The fiber can be damaged if the radius is anysmaller.

General Precautions

The Beam delivery optical cable is placed in a protective foam tray on top of the fiber laser supply enclosure for shipping. This cable is rugged and flexible, but it must be unpacked and handled carefully to prevent damage to the delicate optical fiber inside.

The following precautions are recommended at all times:

• Do not remove the black protective cap from the end of the Beam delivery optical cable until instructed to do so later in these instructions

• At least two people should be involved in handling the Beam delivery optical cable.

• The cable exits the ﬁber laser supply enclosure at the top through a strain relief block; do not attempt to push or

pull the cable at this point.

• The end of the beam delivery optical cable that attaches to the laser head is the “ﬁber bayonet”; when not attached to the laser head, this end should have the protective cap installed and be supported by hand at all times. Do not allow it to swing freely while handling the beam delivery optical cable as this component is heavy and can cause the ﬂexible cable to bend sharply and damage the optical ﬁber.

• Do not exceed the minimum short-term bend radius of the cable, 100 mm (4 in).

Unpacking Instructions

1. Carefully lift the entire coil of the beam delivery optical cable out of and above the foam tray and slide the tray out from under the beam delivery optical cable. If the beam delivery optical cable enters the tray through a hole instead of a slot, it will be necessary to carefully uncoil the entire length of the beam delivery optical cable in order to remove the foam tray. See instructions in steps 3 and 4 for uncoiling the beam delivery optical cable.

2. Place the beam delivery optical cable back on top of the ﬁber laser supply enclosure inside the four retaining brackets as shown in the picture to the right.

3. Uncoil the desired length of beam delivery optical cable one loop at a time.

4. As each loop is uncoiled, make sure to relieve torsion in the beam delivery optical cable; if residual torsion is allowed to build up, the beam delivery optical cable may twist unexpectedly. Usually, torsion can be relieved by twisting the free end ofthe beam delivery optical cable 360 degrees for each loop uncoiled from the bundle.

5. For temporary, overhead installation of the beam delivery optical cable, support it every 1-2 m (3.3-6.6 feet)

6. Attach the beam delivery optical cable to the collimator at the laser head according to the beam delivery optical cable installation instructions in this section.

7. Carefully inspect the entire beam delivery optical cable to ensure that all bends are maintained at a radius greater than 100mm (4 in).

1. Carefully route the beam delivery optical cable from the ﬁber laser supply enclosure through the protective cable trays of the machine frame to the laser head.

Note 1: Sometimes it is not possible to rotate the bayonet on the beam delivery optical cable to align the red

dots on thecollimator and the bayonet, after it has been routed to the laser head, without creating excessive torsional tension on the cable. In this case remove the 3 Allen head cap screws that attach the laser head adaptor to the laser head mounting bracket. Then rotate the collimator so that the red dots can be aligned without putting excessive twist to the delivery fiber and reinstall the 3 Allen head cap screws. The laser head adaptor can be rotated in 120 degree increments to relieve excess torsion on the beam delivery optical cable.

2. Inspect the entire path of the beam delivery optical cable and verify that the minimum bend radius speciﬁcation of 100 mm (4 in). is not violated and that there are no pinch points that could damage the Beam delivery optical cable during machine motion.

3. Verify that there is enough length in the beam delivery optical cable at the Laser Head to allow for the motion of the lifter axis while raising and lowering the laser cutting head

4. Temporarily secure the end of the beam delivery optical cable near the laser head until it is time to connect it to the collimator.

Coolant hose connections

The color coded water cooling hoses need to run from the back of the fiber laser supply enclosure to the laser head manifold. Excessive bends or kinks need to be avoided to allow proper cooling water flow. The manifold fittings are push-to-connect fittings to allow easy installation of the hoses. Make sure the ends of the hoses are cut cleanly to avoid damaging the o-ring seals inside the fittings. To install the hoses, push them firmly into the fittings and test the installation with a gentle pull on the hose to make sure it is secured.

Note: The connectors for the gas and coolant lines are push-to-connect fittings.

To make a connection, push the hose fitting into the appropriate connector until itstops, 12 mm (0.472 in).

Gas requirements

The customer must furnish all gases and gas-supply regulators for the system. Use a high-quality, 2-stage pressure regulator located within 30 m (100 ft). of the gas console. See gas regulators in this section for recommendations. See the Specification section for gas and flow specifications.

Note: Oxygen, air and nitrogen are required for all systems. Air is used as a purge gas.

Caution: Gas supply pressures not within the specifications in Section 2 can cause poorcut

quality, poor consumable life and operational problems. If the purity level of the gas is too low or if there are leaks in the supply hoses or connections:

• Cut speeds can decrease

• Cut quality can deteriorate

• Cutting thickness capability can decrease

• Parts life can shorten

HyIntensity Fiber Laser Instruction Manual – 807090 Revision 3 2-49

Gas regulators

Low-quality gas regulators do not provide consistent supply pressures and can result in poor cut quality and system operation problems. Use a high-quality, 1-stage, gas regulator to maintain consistent gas supply pressure, if using liquid cryogenic or bulk storage. Use a high-quality, 2-stage, gas regulator to maintain consistent gas supply pressure from high pressure gas cylinders.

The high-quality gas regulators listed below are available from Hypertherm and meet U.S. Compressed Gas Association (CGA) specifications. In other countries, select gas regulators that conform to national or local codes.

Supply gas plumbing

Rigid copper plumbing or suitable flexible hose may be used for all gas supplies, but they must meet the pressure requirements (see section 1, Specifications). Do not use steel or aluminum pipe. After installation, pressurize the entire system and check for leaks. Recommended hose diameters are 10 mm (3/8 in) for lengths <25 m (82 ft) and 12 mm (1/2 in) for lengths > 25 m (82 ft).

For flexible-hose systems, use a hose designed for inert gas to carry air, nitrogen.

Caution: When connecting the gas console to the supply gases, make sure that all hoses, hose

connections and fittings are acceptable for use with oxygen. Installation must be made in accordance with national and local codes.

WARNING

CUTTING WITH OXYGEN CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION

Cutting with oxygen as the assist gas can cause a potential fire hazard due to the oxygen-enriched atmosphere that it creates. As a precaution, Hypertherm recommends that an exhaust ventilation system be installed when cutting with oxygen. Flashback arrestors are required (unless not available for specific gases or required pressures) to prevent fire from propagating to supply gas.
