1.2 Designated Use

The Trotec Speedy 100 fiber is used for marking on metals and plastics. Many metals and
most plastics will show interaction with the laser beam. However, very clean metallic
surfaces which are highly polished and pure could show NO reaction. This is due to too
high reflectivity at 1064nm wavelength which is given especially for silver and copper. In
general, the FP model will react with more materials compared to the FC model.

The marking process must only be performed with a perfectly adjusted machine
(see also chapter 4 OPERATION).

Use of the system in other areas is against the designated use. The
manufacturer does not admit liability for damage to personal and/or equipment
resulting from such use.

The system must only be operated, maintained and repaired, by personnel that
are familiar with the designated field of use and the possible dangers of the
machine!

Non-observance of the instructions for operation, maintenance and repair
described in this Operation Manual excludes any liability of the manufacturer if
a defect occurs.

Caution when processing conductive materials (carbon fibers,…)! Conductive
dust or particles in the ambient air might damage electrical components and
lead to short circuits. Bear in mind that those defects are NOT warranted.

1.3 Disposal remarks

Do not dispose the machine with domestic waste!

Elektronic devices have to be disposed according to the regional directives
on electronic and electric waste disposal.
In case of further questions, please ask your supplier. He might take care of
proper disposal.

2 SAFETY

Please read this chapter before operating or servicing a Trotec Speedy 100 fiber laser
system!

2.1 General Safety Information

All personnel involved in installation, set-up, operation maintenance and repair of the machine, must
have read and understood the Operation Manual and in particular the "SAFETY" section. The user
is recommended to generate company-internal instructions considering the professional
qualifications of the personnel employed in each case, and the receipt of the instruction/Operation
Manual or the participation at introduction/training should be acknowledged in writing in each case.

Safety-conscious Working

The machine must only be operated by trained and authorized personnel.
The scopes of competence for the different activities in the scope of operating the machine must be
clearly defined and observed, so that under the aspect of safety no unclear questions of
competence occur. This applies in particular to activities on the electric equipment, which must only
be performed by special experts.
For all activities concerning installation, set-up, start-up, operation, modifications of conditions and
methods of operation, maintenance, inspection and repair, the switch-off procedures that may be
provided in the Operation Manual must be observed.

27/10/2015 Trotec Laser GmbH 10 / 57

Safety Information for the User and/or Operating Personnel

 No work methods are permitted that affect the safety of the machine.

 The operator must also ensure that no unauthorized persons work with the machine (e.g. by

activating equipment without authorization).

 It is the duty of the operator, to check the machine before start of work for externally visible

damage and defects, and to immediately report changes that appear (including behavior
during operation) that affect the safety.

 The user is responsible that the machine is only operated in perfect condition.

 The user must guarantee the cleanness and accessibility at and around the machine by

corresponding instructions and controls.

 Principally, no safety components may be removed or disabled (already here we emphasize

the imminent dangers, for example severe burns, loss of eye-sight). If the removal of safety
components is required during repair and service, the replacement of the safety components
must be performed immediately after completion of the service and repair activities.

 Preparation, retooling, change of work piece, maintenance and repair activities must only

performed by trained personnel while the equipment is switched off.

 It is forbidden to perform unauthorized modifications and changes to the machine. It is

emphasized, that any unauthorized modifications to the machine are not permitted for safety
reasons.

2.2 Laser Safety Information

To assess the potential dangers laser systems pose, they are classified into 5 safety
classes: 1, 2, 3a, 3b and 4. Trotec Speedy 100 fiber is a machine of class 2 (USA:
Class II). This is guaranteed by the protective housing and the safety installations.
Please note that improper operation of the machine can override the status of safety
class 2 and can cause the emission of harmful laser radiation.

Class IIM laser products

Designation “M” indicates the use of magnification optics. The magnification collects
additional laser radiation into the eye. Designed for benefit of expanded beams.
Class 2M is for visible wavelengths safe for momentary viewing (up to 0.25 seconds)
without optical aids and emission levels up to Class 3B AEL.

This laser marking system contains an YTTERBIUM FIBER LASER of class 4, that
emits intensive and invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions the direct
radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous!

Without safety precautions, the following risks exist with exposure to laser radiation:
Eyes: Burns to the retina for NIR (Near Infra Red) LASER lasers
Skin: Burns
Clothing: Danger of fire

Never try to modify or disassemble the laser and do not try to start up a system that

had been modified or disassembled!

Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of operation or

adjustment equipment other than that described here, and if different

operational methods are performed.

Service technicians are required to wear standard laser safety glasses for NIR (Near

Infra Red) LASER lasers (wavelength 1060 nm) whenever working on open laser

beam.

27/10/2015 Trotec Laser GmbH 12 / 57

Dangerous radiation exposure can result from the use of materials other than

described in Section 1.2 Designated Use:

In case of using highly reflecting materials like

 blank or polished metals
 metals with very high reflectivity like copper, brass, gold, silver
 any materials with highly reflecting coatings
 other highly reflecting materials,

especially in combination with high laser power, low processing speed and/or work pieces
with curved or inclined surfaces, laser radiation might be reflected towards the protection
cover. With a very low probability this protection cover could be damaged if the reflected
radiation is FOCUSSED onto the surface of the protection cover.

Therefore visual inspection for point-like defects on the protection cover should be done if
the aforementioned conditions are given.

The loss of yellow color on the protection cover indicates a damage of the protecting layer. If
you detect such effects, immediately turn off the laser machine and take care to get a new
protection cover.

Also other components inside the machine may be damaged if the aforementioned conditions are
given. To improve laser safety an optional “Laser Protection Cover” is available on request.

27/10/2015 Trotec Laser GmbH 13 / 57

2.3 Safety Precautions when Operating the Machine

In your Trotec Speedy 100 fiber, a closed safety system is integrated which immediately
switches off the power to the laser tube when the protection cover is opened. Consequently
an incomplete marking can occur if the cover is opened during operation. Therefore, first
press the "PAUSE" button, if you want to interrupt a marking process.

Please remember the following safety precautions when working with this machine:
A fire extinguisher must always be at hand as the laser beam can ignite flammable

materials. Do not store any flammable materials in the inside of the machine or in the
immediate vicinity of the machine.

Unsupervised operation of the system is not permitted.

Adjustment of the beam path must be performed only by especially trained personnel. An
improper setting can lead to uncontrolled emission of the laser radiation.

Before processing materials the user must verify, whether harmful materials can be
generated and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the
harmful materials. We emphasize that it is the responsibility of the user, to consider the
national and regional threshold values for dust, fogs and gases when selecting the filters
and the exhaust system. (The values for the maximum workplace concentration must not
be exceeded.)

Please refer to the manual of the exhaust system on how and in what intervals you need to
replace filters.

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) must under no circumstances be processed with the laser.

Should you have further questions before starting work, please contact your local Trotec
dealer or Trotec.
