3.2 Laser safety

3.2.1 Laser classification

The laser safety class indicates the risk potential based on the level of accessible laser radiation.

The ProMarker is a laser class 4 product and complies to the latest safety norms and regulations (IEC
60825-1).

Class 4 (US: class IV)

Class 4 (US: class IV) high powered lasers (visible or invisible) considered to present potential acute hazard
to the eye and skin for both direct and scatter (diffused) conditions.

Also have potential hazard considerations for fire (ignition) and byproduct emissions from target or process
materials. It is the responsibility of the operator of the machine to take appropriate measurements to
eliminate any dangers such as fire or explosions through the laser beam.

Warning Laser

Obligations of the operator for the operation of class 4 lasers (US: class IV):

– Observe official regulations for the business location in accordance with the applicable local

legal regulations (on accident prevention regulations or employee protection), e. g. DGUV
regulation 11 for Germany.

– According to DGUV regulation 11 "Laser radiation", as well as national regulations:

Written appointment of a competent laser safety officer for compliance with the relevant
regulations.

– Mark the danger zone as such by attaching warning lights and warning signs on the outside.

– Protect the danger zone against unauthorized access.

– Wear appropriate laser safety glasses within the danger zone that are matched to the

wavelength and power of the laser.

– Install an additional and well visible warning light to warn the operator of the presence of

laser radiation.

Compliance with the points above does not absolve the operator from meeting the relevant standards and
guidelines for the operation of a Class 4 laser system.

20 ENGLISH (Translation)

Safety

Class 1

The accessible laser radiation of Class 1 laser systems does not pose any hazard for the skin or eyes.

In order to operate the Promarker as a Class 1 laser system, the following points must be observed:

Notice

– The entire course of the laser beam should be shielded to prevent radiation.

– Any covers providing access to laser areas which may be removed without using a tool

should be fitted with suitable safety latches.

– Inspection windows in the housing should be fitted with safety glass suitable for the laser

output and the shaft length of the laser (DIN EN 207).

Class 2 (US: class II)

The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: Class II) laser systems does not pose any hazard for the skin.
Diffuse reflections as well as any short-term irradiation of the eyes (exposure time max. 0.25 seconds) also
pose no risk due to the low output power.

However, it is possible to suppress the natural eyelid closure reflex and stare into the class-2 laser beam for
a time long enough for the eyes to get injured.

The ProMarker uses a Class 2 pilot laser. In order to prevent irritation of the eyes during operation, the
operator should not look directly at the laser source. Diffuse reflections of the pilot laser are entirely
harmless.

Safety

3.6 Secondary (indirect) hazards

3.6.1 Fire hazard

Warning

Fire hazard

Fire hazard from gas and processing of inflammable materials.

– Do not operate the device without supervision.

– Keep CO2 fire extinguisher ready at hand in the immediate vicinity of the device.

If a main laser beam comes into contact with inflammable material, e.g. paper, the latter may ignite, quickly
leading to fire. Therefore, before switching on the laser and after deactivating the Standby-mode you must
make sure that there is no inflammable material in the path of the laser beam.

Furthermore, gases formed beneath the material being processed may ignite, especially if the extraction
requirements are not met.

The risk of flaming is increased in case of insufficient care and cleaning as well.

Additionally, regularly control the air cooling system on your laser. In particular, the filters and ventilators
should be checked regularly for proper function to avoid defects caused by overheating.

3.6.2 Gases, fumes and dust

Depending on the materials being marked and the parameters selected, laser marking may generate gases,
fumes, aerosols or dust. The toxicity of such by-products depends on the material.

The operator is responsible for ensuring a suitable extraction system is in place and for compliance with the
relevant guidelines in order to protect individuals and the environment. Instructions may be found in, among
others, the guidelines of the Association of German Engineers VDI 2262 1...3 "Workplace air; reduction of
exposure to air pollutants".

The operator must also ensure that gases, fumes or dust do not settle on the processing lens. Any dirt

Setup and installation

7.4 Mechanical installation

7.4.1 Installation of the marking head

The correct, stable and reproducible alignment of the working head in relation to the workpiece to be
marked is a prerequisite for faultless marking results. The marking head should therefore be installed with
appropriate care.

Mounting

The working head may be mounted either from the top using the supplied feet or from below using the hole
pattern on the base plate. The feet may be assembled in various positions on the working head base plate.
The feet may be disassembled if they are not required and the working head should be secured tightly. Also
the support bracket should not be subject to any vibrations during operation. In order to avoid damaging the
lens, keep the protective cap on the lens during installation.

The following diagram illustrates the hole pattern for the feet. The working head is secured using the two
mounting feet through holes 6.6 mm in diameter (designed for M6 screws).

The following diagram illustrates the working head hole pattern when used for direct installation without the
feet.

ENGLISH (Translation) 35

Setup and installation

Alignment

The focal plane lies parallel to the working head base plate. When installing the marking head it is therefore
important to ensure that the marking head base plate is aligned as parallel as possible to the intended
processing plane. Otherwise uneven results will be produced on the marking field as a result of the changing
focal position. In order to adjust the focal position, the distance between the object to be marked and the
working head may be altered. Clearance holes 6 mm in diameter are located adjacent to the M6 threaded
holes in the working head base place in order to aid the precise alignment of the working head.

Motorized Z-axis

For mounting the marking head on the motorized Z-axis you have to remove the two mounting feet and fix it
on the axis plate.

Fiber Optic Cable

The working head is connected to the actual laser source in the laser rack via an approx. 2.1 m long fiber
optic cable. The fiber optic cable is enclosed with the jumper cables in a black protective tube for protection.
In order not to damage the filaments, do not bend the cable by a radius of more than 66 mm. The tube
should also not be subject to any mechanical stresses.

Caution

If necessary, the cable and the fiber optic cable may be disconnected from the marking head.
As this will expose sensitive optical surfaces, this may only be performed by trained service
personnel.

36 ENGLISH (Translation)

Setup and installation

Laser rack and PC

The laser rack and the PC should be located next to or directly above one another if possible in order for the
modules to be connected to one another with the cables provided.

When installing in a control cabinet or rack, ensure there is sufficient ventilation. Both the laser rack and the
PC require a sufficient supply of air. The air should be sucked in from the front and blown out at the rear.
When installing the laser rack, also ensure the minimum radius of curvature of the fiber optic cable (black
tube) is not exceeded on the rear side.

Galvanometer scanner controller card

The enclosed galvanometer scanner controller card needs to be installed in a computer. The installation
guide is enclosed in the accessory.

Software installation

The software will be installed by starting the SETUP.exe from the software-CD. Please follow the steps on
the screen. The correct configurations files must be installed after the software setup is finished.

The installation guide is enclosed in the accessory.

7.5 Electrical installation

Following the mechanical installation of the marking head, laser rack and PC, the components must be
connected to one another electrically. (The laser rack and marking head are already connected to one
another on delivery.) The peripherals (power supply, external control and safety signals, etc.) are then
connected via the laser rack and PC interfaces.

All connectors are clearly identified in order to facilitate the electrical installation. The connector marked X43
belongs to the socket with the same denotation.

The connector denotations are also coded. The last digit of the connector denotation identifies the respective
hardware components.

7.5.4 Overview laser rack interface (back side)

Notice

Before the laser marker can be put into operation, the external safety circuits and the external
start and stop signals must be connected.

Caution

When making these connections, the operator must ensure that all safety circuits comply with
the respective valid national standards and guidelines for the use of laser devices. Otherwise
the device may cause personal injury or material damage.

The following connectors are available on the laser rack:

X11 – Safety circuit (Emergency stop button / interlock safety switch / external messages)

The X11 connector enables the connection of external safety circuits, additional emergency stop circuits and
external warning lamps.

Warning

The digital 24V inputs should only be controlled by isolated contacts with the 24V pin 13 on X11.
The input of signals with any other reference potential could result in damage to the respective
inputs.

X31 – External panel

The connector X31 may be used to connect an external control panel such as that located on the front of the
laser rack.

If no external panel is connected, the supplied connector must be used with the bridging devices.

40 ENGLISH (Translation)

Setup and installation

X61 – Exhaust system

This connector is used to control, start and stop a Trotec extraction unit. Only use the original cable supplied.

X71 – Start / Stop

The X71 connector may be used to send start and stop signals via an external controller or receive a signal
from the laser. The pin configuration is provided in "Interface Pin Configurations"

"Busy" is a laser output which can be set as required using a script.

"Stop" is an external input used to interrupt all running laser programs immediately. It is not necessary to
monitor these inputs in a script.

"Start" is an external input which may be monitored in the software in order to trigger a marking process.
If the monitoring of the signal is not active within a script, the input will have no effect on the program
sequence.

For the "Start" and “Stop” Signal external 24VDC are needed.

Notice

If no external emergency stop circuit is connected, the supplied connector must be used with
the bridging devices. In this case, only the emergency stop button on the front of the laser rack
is active. The precise pin configuration of the plug is provided in "Interface Pin Configurations".

Warning

The maximum load of each of the digital 24V outputs on the interface is 100mA. A short circuit
of the outputs must be avoided as it will damage the respective inputs.

Operation

8.5 Emission indicator

The laser system is fitted with an emission indicator. If the system is switched on or the safety lock is open,
there is usually a possibility that laser radiation will be emitted. This is signalled by a separate indicator and/
or an illuminated "Shutter" switch.

The emission lamps or illuminated shutter switch ❸ signal that:

Emission indicator off – device without power.

Emission indicator yellow – shutter closed, no laser output.

Emission indicator red – shutter open, discharge of laser output possible.

ENGLISH (Translation) 47

Operation

8.6 Focusing

Notice

It is absolutely essential to maintain the correct focal distance for every laser marking process.
Only when in focus will the laser beam achieve the power density necessary for permanent and
clearly legible marking.

Prior to any marking it is therefore necessary to set the correct focal distance between the marking head
and the workpiece. An incorrect focal distance is the most common cause of poor or even indistinguishable
markings.

The focal distance (A) is measured between the lower edge of the working galvo head (B) and the upper
surface of the workpiece (C). The correct focal distance depends on the lens used (focal length).

10.1 Safety notes

Caution

Before any maintenance work takes place, ensure that the power supply has been switched off
and the system is de-energised.

Notice

All maintenance work must be carried out according to the safety regulations.

In order to ensure the maximum availability and lifetime of the system, we recommend you regularly check
the filter system and ventilation and keep the surrounding area clean. Before switching on the system, make
a visual inspection of the lenses.

10.2 Changing of the laser source filter mat

This laser system is fitted with a ventilation system. A filter pad is used to protect the electronic components
from dust and dirt in the ambient air. This filter pad should be checked and replaced at regular intervals in
order to ensure optimum cooling.

The filter pad is located behind the ventilation slots on the front of the laser rack.

Laser rack filter pad:

ENGLISH (Translation) 51

Maintenance

10.3 Cleaning the optics

This system is fitted with high quality optical components, which under normal operating conditions are
maintenance free for their lifetime. However, it may be necessary to clean output lenses, e.g. the scanner flat
field lens (f-theta objective) if it becomes covered in dust or fumes.

Notice

Never touch the optical components with your fingers! Oily or dirty hands may damage the lens
surfaces.

Do not use any tools or hard objects to clean the surfaces. Scratches cannot be repaired.

Laser optics are highly sensitive and their surfaces are not as hard as traditional glass. They
can also be easily damaged by cleaning. It is therefore necessary to ensure that any dirt is
removed using a suitable suction device and that the surrounding area is cleaned regularly.

Small bellows should be used to remove dust.

Notice

Do not use compressed air as it contains small quantities of oil and water.

To remove larger pieces of dirt, only use a lens cleaning cloth with high proof (at least 98%) alcohol.

Notice

Do not dip the cleaning tissue in the cleaning solution. This contaminates the solution and
makes it unusable. Place drops of the solution on the cloth!

Apply the cleaning solution carefully in order to avoid scratching the surface of the lens.

Do not wipe the lens with a dry cloth. Do not touch the reverse side of the cloth. Dirt and sebum
on the fingers can be transferred to the lens by the cloth and cause damage.

Distribute the cleaning fluid carefully using small circular motions. Start at the center of the lens and move
outwards to the edge. Keep moving the cloth until the entire surface is clean.

Do not exert any pressure on the lens.

Working distances for ProMarker

The working distance is measured between the lower edge of the marking head and the work piece as shown in
Figure 3.
Because the actual values for two lenses of the same focal length may vary slightly, it is recommended to check
the working distance after the lens has been changed. To do so, continuously mark a circle and adjust the work­ing distance for optimum results.
