EN 60825-1 Safety of Laser Products - Part 1: Equipment Classification and Requirements

EN 60950 Information Technology Equipment – Safety

EN 61010-1 Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measurement, Control and

Laboratory Use; General Requirements

BGV B2 (VBG93) Laser Radiation

UL 60950 Standard for Safety for Information Technology Equipment

UL 31011-1 Electrical Equipment for Laboratory Use – Part 1: General

21 CFR 1040.10 Performance Standard for Light-Emitting Products – Specific Laser Products

21 CFR 1040.11 Performance Standard for Light-Emitting Products – Specific-Purpose Laser

Products

BA 8030_2.0_EN (01/2016) 12 / 84

Speedy 360

www.troteclaser.com

WARNING
Laser radiation of Class 2 (US: Class II)

Lasers of Class 2 (US: Class II) are safe, but can cause irritation of the eyes if the natural
avoidance reaction (staring into the beam deliberately) or eyelid closure reflex is suppressed.

- Do not suppress the eyelid closure reflex.

- Do not stare directly into the beam.

- Close eyes, turn away.

- Never look at the laser beam directly with an optical instrument, e.g. a lens.

WARNING
Laser radiation of Class 4 (US: class IV)

Exposure to laser radiation of Class 4 (US: Class IV) can cause injury to the eyes and skin.

- The skin and eyes must not be exposed to direct or reflected or scattered radiation.

- Wear suitable laser safety protection glasses.

2.2 Laser safety

The laser safety class indicates the risk potential from accessible laser radiation.
The Speedy 360 is a Class 2 (US: Class II) laser marking system as per DIN EN 60825-1 “Safety of
Laser Products”.
The integrated laser source of the Speedy 360 is a Class 4 (US: Class IV) laser marking system
according to DIN EN 60825-1 and identified as such.

2.2.1 Laser classes

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
sec) also poses 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 beam for
a time long enough for the eyes to get injured.

 In case of fire: Use only CO2 extinguisher to quench the fire, insofar as this is possible without

endangering yourself.

2.8.2 In case of accident; First Aid

 If due to laser irradiation eye injury has occurred (upon exceedance of the maximum allowable

irradiation rate), the accident victim must immediately be presented to an ophthalmologist.

 Assumption of eye injury is justified whenever laser irradiation has occurred and the maximum

allowable irradiation rate may have been exceeded.

 First Aider must pay attention to self-protection.
 Power off the device.
 Remove injured person from the danger zone and provide First Aid. Call emergency physician!

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 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 so as to avoid defects
caused by overheating.

2.9 Specific hazards

2.9.1 Fire hazard

2.9.2 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, short-circuiting 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.

WARNING

Zinc selenide lens, telescope and laser exit window

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

- Special care is required when handling, attaching and cleaning these elements.

- Do not exert non-uniform pressure.

- The metal passive reflectors and optics in the area of the beam guidance should be
cleaned regularly.

- Do not use tools or hard objects to clean the surface.

- Never touch the optics with your bare fingers.

- Never use cleaning tissues twice.

- Lenses with scratches or penetrations must not be used anymore!

2.9.3 Optical components

2.9.3.1 Scratched or destroyed lens surface

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

2.9.3.2 Thermal decomposition

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

2.9.3.3 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.

For first aid measures and handling of scratched or broken ZnSe lenses, see the material safety data
sheets by the manufacturer of the lenses.

2.9.3.4 Protective measures

 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.

- Wait for at least 30 min until the reaction has abated.

- Wear proper protective clothing (respiratory protection, protective goggles, protective suit,
rubber or plastic gloves).

- Provide ventilation.

- When approaching the system again, pay attention to odors.

- Remove all lens fragments.

- Avoid raising or dispersing dust.

2.9.3.5 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.

Do not dispose of optical components as domestic waste, and do not let them
enter the sewer or water bodies.

Inadequate or inappropriate power sources can lead to machine damage and are not
covered by any liability.
Verify that the electrical outlet is capable of providing the proper voltage, frequency and
amperage required by the laser machine described in this manual.

Electrical noise, unstable power supply as well as voltage spikes in power supply can
cause interference and possible damage to the electronics of the laser machine.

Use an individual circuit for the laser machine and the PC and an individual circuit for the
exhaust system. Install your computer on the same circuit as the laser machine to
prevent electromagnetic interactions.

Furthermore it is highly recommended that you use a surge suppression plug to protect
your computer equipment.

If electrical power fluctuations, brownouts or power outages are a problem in your area,
an electrical line stabilizer, UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or backup generator are
required. When installing any of these devices, ensure that they meet the electrical
requirements of the laser machine.

The machine may be operated only with properly installed and operating exhaust
system. Damage to the system caused by the use of no or improper extraction
equipment will not be covered by any liability.

DANGER

Physical damage through toxic aerosols

During laser operation, toxic aerosols can be produced, which can lead to breathing
difficulties, choking, poisoning and subsequently to cancer.

The exhaust power available for the application will be reduced by e.g. bends, small
hose diameters and long hoses. Therefore, avoid bends, keep hoses as short as
possible and use hoses with 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 absolutely necessary to consult your distributor.

4.4 Exhaust system requirements

Depending on the type of table installed in the machine, the exhaust requirements and recommended
Trotec exhaust systems for standard applications are:

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 life time 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.

mounting frame, which is attached to the Z axis.

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

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.

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.

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

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 grid 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.

The honeycomb table top 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.

8.8 Tips and tricks

8.8.1 Tips and tricks for laser engraving

The engraving depth can be varied by varying laser power or engraving speed. To increase the
engraving depth, reduce the speed or increase the power setting; thereby you increase the energy
input per area unit. Too deep engraving, however, reduces the quality of the details. For coated
materials, the required power depends on the kind and thickness of the coating. If the power setting is
too high, the individual lines become too thick, and a sharp picture cannot be achieved. The resolution
of the graphics should usually be 500 dpi. The dpi setting (number of laser dots per inch) depends on
the material. The lower this setting is, the lower the resolution of the engraved picture will be. This,
however, reduces flaming and increases the energy of a pulse, which can improve the overall result,
e.g. when engraving some sorts of plastic materials.

Protection foil:

Generally, remove the protection foil from the engraving area. However, leave the protection foil on
the area that is not to be engraved, to avoid scratching of the material. Protection foil can be useful to
protect adjacent material from debris during cutting.

Plastics:

The majority of available plastics can be easily engraved and cut with the laser. As most plastic
materials have a low melting point, a low PPI setting should be selected to reduce the danger of
melting.

Acrylic:

There are two different types of acrylic – cast and extruded. The cast acrylic becomes white or mat
after engraving, the extruded acrylic remains clear. Use extruded acrylic for engravings that are filled
with paint and cast acrylic for normal engravings. Cast acrylic can be best engraved without protection
foil. It is better to engrave the entire surface with a low energy setting.

Photo Engraving:
Scan the desired picture with a resolution of 300 dpi. Adjust brightness and contrast so that lighter
colors become lighter and darker colors become darker. The photo may look better if you use a filter to
sharpen the contours. Select a raster from the software. Use a raster with 20 to 100 lines per inch.
Increasing the number of lines per inch decreases the size of the points. With increasing number of
lines per inch, the size of the points decreases. If you cannot select a raster in your software, the
printer driver will select the raster automatically.

Speedy 360

www.troteclaser.com

8.8.2 Tips and tricks for laser cutting

Distance to the surface of the workpiece

To achieve very good results when laser-cutting acrylic or wood, we recommend that the plate be
attached at least some millimeters above the engraving table. By doing this, the smoke and the molten
residues underneath the plate can escape unhindered. Slight moistening of the plate will reduce the
area of heat influence. Generally the protection foil should be removed, except when there is
considerable development of fumes. During laser cutting the Hz setting (pulses per second) should be
set to a low value, in particular for flammable materials.
Activate the air assist for cutting in order to protect the lens from being soiled by material parts being
blasted off.

Multiple cutting

Often a clearer contour can be achieved by cutting twice rather than cutting only once.

8.8.3 Tips and tricks for the production of rubber dies

The various mixtures and densities of rubber plates cause a slightly varying engraving depth. The
settings in the overview table give a good indication. Since engraving a standard rubber material
requires relatively high laser power, the laser power is principally set to 100%, and only the speed is
varied.
Due to their lower density, so-called micro-porous rubber materials allow significantly higher engraving
speeds. Test the rubber first, to find out the correct speed setting.
The JobControl® software simplifies the creation of a stamp significantly. Mirroring as well as
converting is performed automatically, and a cone-shaped shoulder is generated around each letter.
Due to the wider base, the letters are stabilized during stamping, and therefore the imprint becomes
clearer. If you engrave rubber dies without using this option, the letters will have no shoulders, making
them very thin and unstable.

To avoid flaming, we recommend a low Hz setting near 1000 Hz for cutting the rubber die. The laser
pulses are thus set apart from each other so far that their edges just touch. This results in a
perforation. The rubber die stays connected to the rubber plate, but can be torn off easily. The
advantage of this method is that there is practically no further risk of deformation or melting of the
material. Furthermore, the entire plate can be removed from the laser at one time instead of having to
collect all dies individually.

Engraving rubber produces a considerable amount of dust. Therefore a well-dimensioned exhaust
system and its regular maintenance are very important. An appropriate Trotec exhaust system is
recommended.

9.4.1 Cleaning the lens

Step 1: Preparation

1. Blow away loose particles and dust by means of a bellows or compressed air (according to ISO
8573:2010 class 1).

2. Get the cleaning liquid and cleaning tissues ready.

3. Move the table up and put a cloth under the lens holder (so that the lens will not be damaged if it
falls out of holder by accident).

4. Loosen the lens by screwing the clamping ring inward.

5. Now remove the lens and check the surface.

Step 2: Cleaning with cleaning liquid and cleaning tissues

1. Remove the lens and rinse it with cleaning liquid to wash away coarse soiling.

2. Put some cleaning liquid onto the lens and leave the liquid for 1 minute to take effect.

3. Soak a cleaning tissue with cleaning liquid and carefully wipe off the surface.

4. Now carefully insert the lens with the lens holder into the laser head and fixate the clamping ring.

Lenses are very sensitive, therefore handle them with great care. Do not
touch the lens with your fingers or with tools, and never use a cleaning
tissue twice, as the surface can easily be scratched.

We recommend to use the cleaning set enclosed. Alternatively, use
high-quality cotton swabs together with the provided cleaning liquid.
