Safety

2.2 Laser safety

2.2.1 Laser classification

The laser safety class indicates the risk potential from accessible laser radiation.

The laser system is a Class 2 (US: Class II) laser marking system as per IEC 60825-1 "Safety of Laser
Products".

Warning Laser

Laser radiation of Class 2 (US: class II)

For Class 2 (US: class II) laser is short term exposure (up to 0.25 seconds) harmless to
the eyes and can therefore be operated without additional protective measures. However it
can cause irritation of the eyes if the natural avoidance reaction (staring into the laser beam
deliberately) or eyelid closure reflex is suppressed.

– Do not suppress the eyelid closure reflex.
– Do not stare directly into the laser beam.
– Close eyes, turn away.
– Never look at the laser beam directly with an optical instrument, e.g. a lens.

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.

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.

25

Safety

2.8.2 Gases, fumes and dust

Depending on the materials being processed and the parameters selected, laser processing may generate
gases, fumes, aerosols or dust. Depending on the material, such by-products may be toxic. In individual
cases, the reaction products may be electrically conductive dusts. If these enter electric systems, short­circuiting with personal injury and property damage may occur.

The operator is responsible for ensuring presence of a suitable extraction system and compliance with the
relevant guidelines in order to protect persons and the environment. The guideline VDI 2262 1-3 "Workplace
air" provides, among other things, additional remarks.

The operator must also ensure that gases, fumes or dust do not settle on the processing lens. Any dirt
accumulating on the processing lens can lead to loss of performance, poor processing results and damage
to the device.

Safety

2.8.4 Information about damaged optics

Warning

Damage to optics.

Soiled optics absorb laser radiation and can thus be destroyed. Broken or damaged lenses as
well as thermal decomposition of lenses release particles which cause serious damage to the
health.

– The passive reflectors and optics in the area of the laser beam guidance should be cleaned

regularly.
– Special care is required when handling, attaching and cleaning these elements.
– Do not exert non-uniform pressure.
– Do not use tools or hard objects to clean the surface.
– Never touch the optics with your bare fingers.
– Never use cleaning tissues twice.
– When lenses get broken, damaged or thermal decomposed follow the protective measures.
– Disposal according to regulations and laws valid in the user's country.
– Lenses with scratches or lenses with penetrations must not be used anymore!

Scratched or destroyed lens surface

Be aware that scratches in the coating may release small quantities of thorium, which may be harmful upon
inhalation or swallowing.

Thermal decomposition

Upon thermal decompositions, vapors of selenium oxide and zinc oxide are formed. Upon inhalation or
swallowing there is danger of poisoning. Indicators for thermal decomposition of ZnSe include deposits in the
form of red or white powder and an unpleasant odor.

Broken lenses

When optical components of zinc selenide (ZnSe) are destroyed, toxic dusts and vapors are formed which
must not be inhaled. The dust can additionally cause irritations of the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. If a
lens has been destroyed during operations, care is to be taken during removal and cleaning.

28

2.8.5 Protective measures for damaged optics

Protective measures in case of thermal decomposition and scratched or broken lenses

•

For disposal use a protective mask or respiratory filter to prevent inhalation or ingestion of thorium.

•

Wash hands thoroughly after contact with a scratched coating.

Protective measures in case of a broken lens

•

Upon perception of an unpleasant odor, switch off the machine.

•

Hold your breath.

•

Leave the area of the machine.

•

Before approaching the system again, wait for at least 30 min until the reaction has abated.

•

plastic gloves).

•

Provide ventilation.

•

When approaching the system again, pay attention to odors.

•

Remove all lens fragments.

•

Avoid raising or dispersing dust.

Safety

Disposal

The ZnSe dust and the lens are to be collected drily and disposed of with fragments, broom,
shovel and protective clothing into hermetically sealable containers or plastics bags as
hazardous waste.

The monitoring point for flow rate and pressure is at the exhaust port at the laser machine. Pressure loss
by hoses / pipes or filter parts of the exhaust system has to be determined and additionally calculated when
selecting a proper exhaust system.

A powerful exhaust system keeps the lifetime of optics and mechanical components, the cutting quality and
the laser power interacting with the workpiece from being impaired by fumes and dust accumulating in the
machine.

34

Notice

The exhaust power available for the application will be reduced by e. g. bends, small hose
diameters and long hoses.

You should therefore note the following:

– Avoid bends.
– Keep hose as short as possible.
– Use hose diameters as large as possible.

Applications generating large amounts of dust or fumes may require a stronger exhaust system.
Use of separate exhaust systems for head and table exhaust may also be necessary.

In this case it is absolute necessary to consult your distributor.

4.3 Tables (multifunctional table concept)

Multifunctional base frame

The multifunctional base frame is bolted to the mounting
frame, which is attached to the Z-axis.

Notice

All table variants rest on the base frame. With exception of the ferromagnetic engraving table
which may also be placed directly on the mounting frame if there is no base frame present.

Ferromagnetic engraving table

The ferromagnetic construction allows mounting thin
materials such as paper, films or foils with magnets to
ensure an even and flat surface. An even working area is
essential for achieving optimal results for laser engraving
and marking applications.

41

Machine overview

Vacuum table

Aluminum slat cutting table

The vacuum table fixates various materials to the working
table using vacuum. This ensures correct focusing over
the entire surface, leading to better engraving results. In
addition, it reduces the handling effort associated with
mechanical mounting.
The vacuum table is the ideal table for thin and lightweight
materials, such as paper, foils and films, that generally do
not rest flatly on the surface.

The cutting table with aluminum slats is ideal for cutting
thicker materials (8 mm thickness and above) and for parts
wider than 100 mm.
The slats can be arranged individually, consequently the
table can be adjusted to each individual application.

Acrylic slat cutting table

The cutting table with acrylic slats prevents reflection during
cutting. This table is used in particular for cutting thicker
materials (8 mm thickness and above) and for parts wider
than 100 mm.
The slats can be arranged individually, consequently the
table can be adjusted to each individual application.

42

Aluminum cutting grid table

Acrylic cutting grid table

Machine overview

This robust cutting table offers excellent stability and is
particularly suitable for cutting tasks with parts smaller than
100 mm, as these remain in a flat position after the cutting

The special acrylic cutting grid table prevents reflection
during cutting. It is therefore ideal for cutting acrylics,
laminates or plastic films with parts smaller than 100 mm,
as these remain in a flat position after the cutting.

Notice

The equipment of the machine may vary depending on the model.

4.3.1 Additional tabletops

Honeycomb tabletop

The honeycomb tabletop is especially suitable for
applications that require minimal reflection and optimum
flatness of the material, e.g. cutting of membrane
keyboards.
The honeycomb tabletop is an additional option for the
vacuum and ferromagnetic engraving tables.

Available in following sizes:

0.5 inch nominal comb size

0.25 inch nominal comb size

43

Machine overview

4.3.2 Table placement

1. Place a suitable table on the multifunctional base frame.

2. Fixate the table by pressing the push buttons.

Notice

All table variants rest on the base frame. However the ferromagnetic engraving table may also
be placed directly on the mounting frame without the base frame.

Maximum material load is:

– For static loads up to 220 lbs (100 kg).
– For dynamic loads up to 66 lbs (30 kg).

Caution

Damage of the multifunctional base frame or impairment of the exhaust function.

When workpieces are processed directly in the multifunctional base frame without a table, the

Precise laser engraving depends on several factors. Apart from the right choice of lens, working tables and a
corresponding exhaust system, correct focusing plays a key role.

The correct setting of the focus, which means the right distance between the laser head and the material to
be engraved, is crucial for a perfect application result.

Notice

The machine described in these manuals is equipped either with light barrier focus or Sonar
TechnologyTM.

Manual focus mode

•

Focus tool

Automatic focus modes

•

Sonar TechnologyTM (automatic focusing with ultrasonic sensor)

•

Software focus (JobControl®)

•

Light bar focus

Caution

If workpieces with more than 66.14 lbs (30 kg) have been placed on the table, the table must
not be moved up or down anymore as this might damage the mechanics of the machine.

It is mandatory to focus on the height of the material before loading material of 66.14 lbs (30 kg)
and above.

Notice

Defects from head crashes (working head hits material or working table) are excluded from
warranty.

Notice

The machine described in these manuals is equipped either with light barrier focus or Sonar
TechnologyTM.

Notice

The equipment of the machine may vary depending on the model.

69

Operation

7.7.1 Focus tool

1. Move the processing head over the material to be
engraved by means of the Laser head control button X/
Y (2) on the keypad.

2. Hang the focus tool (3) on the allocated space on the
laser head so that the focus tool can move unhindered.

3. Move the X-axis downwards by pressing the Working
table control button Z (1).

4. Before the focus tool reaches the workpiece, move the
working table upwards very slowly and step by step by
briefly tapping the working table control button Z (1)
until the focus tool tilts to the side or falls off its position.

Now the lens is focused onto the surface of the
material.

Notice

Using a flexx lens the focus point differs depending on the laser source.

70

Operation

Note when focusing using a focus tool, the standard focus tool supplied with a flexx lens is always adjusted
for a fiber laser source. Therefore it must only be used in conjunction with a fiber laser source.

Having a machine with a CO2 laser source use the software focus via JobControl®. A manual focusing via

focus tool is not necessary. See chapter "Software focus (flexx lens)".

71

Operation

7.7.2 Sonar Technology

Caution

If the ultrasonic sensor is heavily soiled, the laser head may be damaged if it therefore hits the
material or the worktable.

TM

1. Make sure that the ultrasonic sensor is clean.

2. Select the lens type in the menu bar of JobControl®.

3. Press the two keys from the Working table control button
Z simultaneously for the laser beam to get automatically
focused on the workpiece.

Focusing is then complete, and you can start the laser
processing.

72

Notice

This focusing mode is especially well-suited for all sound-relective materials.

7.7.3 Software focus

The following values must be entered in JobControl®:

•

Table type

•

Lens type

•

Material thickness (exact measurement)

•

Material process type

Caution

The values entered must match the material, table and lens in the machine in order to avoid a
head crash.

When using spacer the total material thickness is determined by the thickness of the spacer and
the material.

Operation

1. Click on the icon "Options" or go to Settings/
Options in the menu.

2. Select "Accessories".

3. When you are using a cutting table enter the
table type and the thickness of the table.

position (moves in Z direction).

73

Operation

Notice

Using a flexx lens the focus point differs depending on the laser source.

When carrying out a software focus, JobControl® is going to switch to the right laser source and adjusts the
focus point difference automatically as soon the lens type and processing type per laser source get entered
into the material database in JobControl®. Manually switching the laser source is therefore not necessary.

Whenever the flexx lens and a CO2 laser source processing type gets selected, the table will drive down
automatically ("standard" focus procedure).

7.7.4 Light barrier focus

1. Select the lens type in the menu bar of JobControl®.

2. Make sure that the lens that is installed in the laser head is
selected.

3. At the same time, press the Away key + Down key to adjust
the height of the machining table so that it moves upwards.

4. Press the Up-button + Down-button simultaneously for the
table to move up.

barriers, the upward movement of the table stops, and the
table moves to the correct focus position.

Focusing is then complete, and you can start the laser
processing.

74

Notice

The light barrier autofocus is ideal for flat opaque materials of unknown thickness.

This autofocus option will not wok on transparent, rough or very thin material, which is thinner
as the ruler itself.
