SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-70475EN/01

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON EXPOSURE


WARNING
1 It is extremely dangerous to expose your eyes to direct, scattered, or reflected
CO2 laser light. Always wear protective glasses(over OD7 recommended) while
the laser is operating.
Exposure to laser light can cause blindness. If your eyes are accidentally
exposed, seek medical advice immediately.
2 Do not turn on the laser oscillator while a panel is removed or a door is open.
Operating the laser with a door open or panel removed may result in the
operator being directly exposed to CO2 laser radiation. Exposure to laser light
can cause blindness and/or severe burns. If your eyes are accidentally exposed
to laser light, seek medical advice immediately.
Before turning on the power during maintenance if absolutely necessary, wear
protective glasses and clothing to prevent accidents. If you wear protective
glasses, don’t look at the laser light directly.
3 Surround the laser machining tool with a fence made of a material which absorbs
laser light well (such as acrylic). Place appropriate warning notices on the fence.
The door in the safety fence shall be fitted with an interlock switch such that
opening the door stops the laser.
Failure to provide such a fence exposes persons in the vicinity of the machine
tool to the danger of being exposed to CO2 laser radiation and the associated
risk of blindness. If a person is accidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical
advice immediately.
4 If the laser oscillator is operated with a panel open, ultraviolet radiation is emitted
from the high-frequency discharge section. Gazing the discharge section for a
long time can cause visual disturbances such as impaired eyesight.
Always wear protective glasses during work. If you feel trouble with your eyes,
seek medical advice immediately.
5 Open beam paths should be located above or below eye level where practical.
Enclose the path of the laser beam with covers. Do not leave the end of the
beam path open. Place laser- absorbing material at the end of the beam path to
absorb the beam's energy.
A CO2 laser beam is directional and has a high energy density. Exposure to
laser light can cause blindness. Flammable material may burn or explode if
exposed to the laser beam. If your eyes are accidentally exposed to laser light,
seek medical advice immediately.
6 If there is a possibility of being exposed to CO2 laser radiation exceeding the
maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level for skin, wear protective clothing.
Otherwise, there is a danger of being burnt.
7 The oscillator is fitted with a red semiconductor laser to indicate the approximate
position of invisible CO2 laser beam. Do not look directly at the semiconductor
laser beam. Otherwise, your eyes may be injured.

s-2
B-70475EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NOTE
1 Warning labels are affixed to those parts of the laser oscillator where there is a
danger of exposure to laser radiation. Observe the precautions given on the
labels.
2 During installation or maintenance necessitating the opening of an oscillator door
or the removal of a panel, only persons who have undergone maintenance
training should operate the laser. In such a case, extreme caution must be
exercised.
3 Laser products shall conform to the regulations laid down in the laser safety
standard, including that stipulating control using a key.
The oscillator start signal (RUN ON) shall be controlled with a key switch such
that the oscillator cannot be turned on without a specific key.
Control using a key ensures that other than the authorized personnel cannot
operate the laser oscillator. It is extremely dangerous if a person who is
unfamiliar with the equipment attempts to operate the laser oscillator.
4. The shutter shall be unlocked only while a beam is being output. Otherwise,
keep the shutter locked to provide protection should the laser accidentally be
turned on.
The laser oscillator is equipped with a warning light as an option. The warning
light blinks while discharge is in progress or whenever laser radiation is possible.
While the warning light is blinking, pay careful attention to laser radiation and
high voltages.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON MAINTENANCE


WARNING
1 A high voltage of 3 to 4 kV0-p is applied to some places in the laser oscillator
cabinet. Therefore, do not turn the power to the oscillator on or operate the
oscillator when an oscillator panel is open. Operating the laser oscillator with a
panel open can cause a touch on a high-voltage place, resulting in electric
shock.
2 Before daily inspection, the replacement of a maintenance part or maintenance,
open the main circuit breaker and turn the power supply off (double power-off).
To prevent the power from being inadvertently turned on, lock the circuit breaker
open, and affix an indication of work in progress. Before turning on the power
during maintenance if absolutely necessary, take measures for safety.
3 The gas circulating system in the oscillator becomes very hot.
Do not touch the gas pipes, turbo blower, heat exchanger, or exhaust pump,
until they have cooled down sufficiently after the oscillator has been turned off.
Otherwise, you may be burnt.
4 The oscillator contains cooling fan units. Although the fan units are fitted with a
finger guard, to prevent injury, keep your hands well away from the fans.
5 Laser oscillator is equipped with the warning light, optionally. The warning light is
blinking continuously during the system in the discharging mode. Please make
sure that the blinking function is working properly for the safety purpose, and
change immediately in case of any functional failure.

s-3
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS B-70475EN/01

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON HANDLING


WARNING
1 The oscillator output mirror and focusing lens on the machining head both have
a substrate made of ZnSe (zinc selenide), a toxic substance. Therefore, do not
touch the mirror or lens with your bare hands if it is damaged.
ZnSe is not poison, but inhaling ZnSe dust may cause difficulty in breathing,
completely stopping the breathing of the victim in the worst case.
If you accidentally touch the mirror or lens with your bare hands, wash your
hands well under running water.
If you accidentally inhale ZnSe dust or debris, seek medical advice immediately.
2 If the laser oscillator must be moved, entrust the work to the machine tool builder
whenever possible. If performed by inexperienced personnel, the oscillator may
topple or be dropped, resulting in a potentially fatal accident.
When the machine tool builder is not available to move the oscillator, follow the
procedure described on the hanging method label. While moving the oscillator,
stand well clear and never pass under the oscillator.
3 Do not allow any dangerous or high-pressure gas to get into the oscillator
housing. The oscillator cabinet has a hermetic structure (dustproof and
dripproof), it cannot be ventilated easily.
1) Flammable gases such as oxygen can cause a fire or explosion.
2) Toxic gases can harm operators during maintenance.
3) Organic gases can degrade machining performance.
4) High-pressure gases can damage a panel or the cabinet, resulting in injury
from flying matters.
If such a gas accidentally gets into the oscillator housing, remove a panel for
ventilation. The installation room must be also well ventilated.
To purge the oscillator housing, use purified, low-pressure air or nitrogen.
4 Those who use a cardiac pacemaker must avoid maintenance and inspection
work during the discharge of the oscillator because the electromagnetic waves
generated during the discharge may affect the operation of the pacemaker.
If you feel sick or out of condition, either immediately leave the spot or stop
operation.

CAUTION
1 The oscillator is controlled according to the CNC internal parameter settings. If a
numeric value different from a setting is entered and the oscillator is operated,
the oscillator may malfunction. In the worst case, the oscillator may be damaged.
2 Use laser gas with the specified correct composition ratios.
If you use laser gas with different specifications by mistake, performance
degradation or an alarm will result. In the worst case, the oscillator may be
damaged.
3 If storing the laser oscillator for a long time or leaving it unused for a long time,
drain the inside of the oscillator. Otherwise, corrosion and clogging may result.
Also drain the oscillator if it is likely to freeze in winter. If it freezes, the water
piping and cooling system components will be damaged.

s-4
B-70475EN/01 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

NOTE
Do not discard a used output mirror or focusing lens together with regular waste.
If the output mirror or focusing lens is replaced, return the original to the supplier
or entrust it to a specialized disposal company.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS ON MACHINING


WARNING
1 Do not look at the machining point without eye protection. Otherwise, your eyes
may be exposed to reflected laser light, resulting in blindness.
If your eyes are accidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical advice
immediately.
2 Before attempting to machine any material for the first time, consult with the
manufacturer of the material.
Some materials generate toxic gases when cut or drilled by a laser beam.
Should you accidentally inhale any toxic gas, seek medical advice immediately.
3 The workpiece becomes very hot during machining. Never touch the workpiece
with your bare hands. Otherwise, you may be burnt.
4 During machining, extremely hot chips are likely to be generated.
Unless sufficient caution is exercised, there is a danger of the operator being
burnt, or of a fire being started.
5 Some materials may burn or explode when laser machined. Before attempting to
machine any material for the first time, consult with the manufacturer of the
material.

NOTE
1 Do not place any flammable material (such as paper, cloth, or wood) near the
workpiece table.
2 Keep a fire extinguisher beside the unit.

Fig.1.1 Outline of structure

(1) Part of Laser resonator


The resonator consists of an output coupler, a rear mirror, folding mirrors, discharge tubes, a power
sensor unit etc., has the function to transform the electrical energy to the optical energy which is
single mode laser beam as 10.6μm. Several discharge tubes are connected in series using folding
mirrors, with an output coupler and a rear mirror placed at the open ends of the discharge tubes, thus
sealing the tubes.
The resonator is fitted with a gas pipe connecting port through which laser gas is fed into the
discharge tubes. A discharge from the electrodes of the discharge tubes energizes CO2 molecules,
which emit light. This light is amplified by the stimulated emission that takes place while the light
travels back and forth between the output coupler and the rear mirror. The resonator is capable of
converting electrical energy to optical energy (10.6-μm single-wavelength laser beam).

1.INTERNAL STRUCTURE B-70475EN/01

(10) Turbo blower


This fan circulates the laser gas in the gas circulating system at high speed. It rotates at a high speed
of 60,000 revolutions per minute (min-1).

(11) Inverter
This inverter drives the turbo blower. It is responsible for acceleration/deceleration control and
issuing alarms during start and stop of the blower.

(12) Gas dust collection unit


This unit is a cyclone dust collector that removes dust that gets in the gas circulating system.

(13) Heat exchanger (inlet)


Water-cooled heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated by discharge, before it is
drawn into the turbo blower.

(14) Heat exchanger (outlet)


Water-cooled heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated by compression in the
turbo blower, before being forced into the discharge tubes.

(15) Gas controller


This gas controller constantly monitors the gas pressure in each discharge tube and supplies fresh
laser gas to the part of laser gas circulating to keep the pressure constant while exhausting degraded
laser gas. It also monitors the supply status of the laser gas, purge check for the part of laser gas
circulating and other items and has a function of adjusting the amount of flow of the gas to be
exhausted.

(16) Exhaust pump


This pump is used to vacuum-exhaust laser gas from the gas circulating system such that its pressure
falls to that used for laser oscillation. In addition, it exhausts part of the degraded gas in the gas
circulating system.

(17) Hour meter


The hour meter records the total number of hours that the laser oscillator has operated (how many
hours the exhaust pump has operated) to indicate whether maintenance or inspection is necessary.

(18) Shutter
The shutter is normally closed to keep the laser beam inside, and can be opened and closed with
CNC commands. It is equipped with a position sensor and a temperature sensor and constantly
monitors the open/close status and the shutter mirror temperature.

(19) Beam absorber


To perform laser oscillation without emitting the laser beam to the outside, the laser beam is
reflected on the shutter mirror and guided into the beam absorber. The absorber, which is
water-cooled, absorbs the laser beam. The absorber is equipped with a temperature sensor, which
allows the system to constantly monitor the temperature of the absorber.

(20) Water distribution unit


This unit distributes temperature-regulated external cooling water to each unit inside the laser
oscillator. The unit is equipped with a flow sensor, which allows the system to constantly monitor
the flow rate of the cooling water.

(21) Shutter PCB


This PCB relays signals collected into the shutter section, such as those from the limit switch,
absorber temperature sensor, power sensor, and dew sensor, to the interface PCB.
-6-
B-70475EN/01 1.INTERNAL STRUCTURE

(22) Input unit


This unit distributes the power supplied to the oscillator to each unit in the laser oscillator. It also
protects each unit from overcurrents.

(23) Safety circuit PCB


This PCB has the relays that intercept the source of laser beam by the action of safety circuit
(Emergency stop circuit etc.). This PCB also has the relay to make the contactor and the valve for
AC200V to action by the command from CNC.

(24) Interface PCB (IF PCB)


This PCB communicates with the CNC via the FANUC I/O LINK (serial interface).

(25) 24-V power supply


This unit supplies DC power (24 VDC) to the interface PCB and various units.

(26) Dew sensor


This sensor is mounted to the output mirror holder to monitor the output mirror for condensation. It
prevents faults from occurring due to condensation.

(27) Guide laser (red semiconductor laser)


A diode laser is overlaid on the same optical axis as a guide beam for checking the optical axis
because the CO2 laser beam is invisible to the unaided eye. The guide beam is emitted in
synchronization with the mechanical shutter only when the shutter is closed. The guide laser can be
used for roughly adjusting the optical path of an external optical system and for obtaining a guide for
the machining point.

(28) Beam folding unit (C2000i-C, C4000i-C)


This unit extends the optical path length by folding back the laser beam output from the output
mirror in the oscillator and outputting the beam from the outlet of the oscillator. It consists of one
circular polarization mirror and one zero shift mirror or of two zero shift mirrors. It is provided in an
oscillator of short optical path length type; it is not provided in an oscillator of long optical path
length type.

(29) Low temperature sensor


This sensor measures the temperature of cooling water. When the temperature in the laser oscillator
is 20℃ or less in start-up of the oscillator, warm-up driving is executed by software. Therefore, it
prevents output power decrease.

(30) Oxygen sensor


A sensor for measuring the concentration of oxygen in the oscillator cabinet. This oxygen sensor is
placed near the beam exit to detect an inflow of oxygen from the outside. When the concentration of
oxygen has increased beyond the specified value, an alarm is issued, the oscillator is stopped, and a
purge operation is performed.

(31) Fan unit


Fan motors release the heat that is generated by discharge from the discharge tubes.

(32) Radiator fan unit (resonator)


The atmospheric temperature rises due to the heat generated by discharge from the discharge tubes.
This water-cooled heat exchanger is used to cool the heated air before circulated in the oscillator.

(33) Radiator fan unit (power supply)


The heat by the laser power supply unit is exhausted to outside of the power supply unit. This
water-cooled heat exchanger is used to cool the heated air before circulated in the oscillator.

10 Check all screw terminals in the units.
11 Check the oil level in the turbo blowers. (See Subsection 3.3.1 for details.)
12 Check the oil level in the exhaust pump, and check for oil contamination. (See Subsection 3.3.2 for details.)

(6) Connect the power and signal lines to the oscillator. (See Subsection 2.2.3 for details.)
Check items
1 Oscillator power cable
2 Ground cable of 10Ω or less (Class-A ground: For Japan, Protection Class 1: For foreign country)
3 Communication cable between the CNC and oscillator (I/O Link, FSSB)
4 Signal cables

(7) Check the input power supply voltage, frequency and phase rotation. (See Subsection 2.3.1 for
details.)
Set the frequency of the power supply to the hour meter. (See Subsection 2.3.1 for details.)

CAUTION
In the installing, the moving or the construction of electrical facility, it is possible
that the phase rotation is incorrect. Be sure to check the phase rotation, and
then start the exhaust. If the gas pressure does not fall after one minute, stop the
exhaust, and then check it. Check the gas pressure on PSW2 of gas controller
or DGN No.905.

(8) Connect the laser gas and cooling water pipes. (See Subsections 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.3.2 for details.)
Check items
1 Check the laser gas composition and purity (check whether the specifications are satisfied).
2 Check the laser gas piping status.
3 Check that there is no gas leakage in the external piping between the gas cylinder and oscillator.

- 26 -
B-70475EN/01 2.INSTALLATION

Check items
4 Check the quality of the cooling water (use of tap water passed through an ion exchanger).

(9) Check the supply gas pressure.


Check that the secondary pressure of the gas regulator is 0.175±0.025 MPa.

(10) Check the parameters and setting data.


A parameter table for the laser oscillator is attached to the oscillator. Some machine builders prepare
a parameter table including parameters for the laser oscillator. If data sheets are not found, contact
the machine tool builder.
(a) On the setting screen of the CNC, set the parameter write enable state.
(b) Check the parameters, and enter the same values as specified in the parameter table.
(c) On the setting screen of the CNC, set the parameter write protected state, and press the reset
button.

CAUTION
1 If the oscillator is started with an incorrect parameter value specified, the
oscillator may fail in the worst case. Be particularly careful when entering and
checking parameter values.
2 Some parameters may require modification to, for example, suit the operating
state of the oscillator or enable maintenance. When parameters are modified, it
is recommended that modification history (date, parameters before modification,
parameters after modification, and reason for modification) be recorded so that
old parameters and invalid parameters are not used.
3 Be careful not to lose the attached data sheets, and keep them safely.

(11) Check that cooling water is supplied normally, and that there is no water leakage inside the oscillator
or at any external connection points. (See Subsection 2.3.3 for details.)
Check that the temperature of the cooling water is set to 25 to 30°C.
Normally, it is recommended that the temperature be set to 27°C.

(12) Turn on the power and RUN switch, and then check the operation of the fan motors in the laser
oscillator after SEQ1500. Note, however, that the fan motor installed in the laser power supply does
not start until the oscillator sequence starts the turbo blower operation (SEQ1700).

(13) Conduct an oscillator vacuum leakage test.


Check the oscillator for any internal leakage.
When performing the leakage check, use the automatic leakage check function.
If there is internal leakage, locate the leakage according to the leakage location method described in
Subsection 2.3.5.
(14) Check that the laser gas pressure is controlled normally.
(a) Set all bits of parameter No. 15027 to 0 because only the pressure control operation is to be
checked, without causing discharge.
Check that alarm Nos. 4073 and 4078 are not issued. If one of the alarms is issued, see the
solution in Section 4.2, and take appropriate action.
(b) After completing the checking, reset the changed parameters to their original settings.
(15) Start the laser oscillator to perform discharge aging. See Subsection 2.3.6 to start the aging function.
If the oscillator is left unused for two weeks or more), perform discharge aging for at least 8 hours.
(16) Check the laser beam mode.

- 27 -
2.INSTALLATION B-70475EN/01

CAUTION
A beam mode deviation may occur depending on the transportation method and
storage condition. When installing the oscillator, be sure to perform this step. A
mode deviation does not mean a failure. Perform alignment by following the
procedure described in Subsection 5.24.1.
(a) Record the value of the micrometer of OC, RM and FM.
(b) Take the power max by FM. referring to subsection 5.24.4.

within the factory-set value plus 200 V.
If the correction coefficient or discharge voltage exceeds the maximum, repeat discharge aging.
(c) Discharge margin check : Check that a margin is provided.
(d) Voltage margin check : Check that no alarm is issued.

2.2 OSCILLATOR CONNECTIONS


The oscillator has connections for laser gas piping, cooling water piping, and power and signal cables.
For details of the electrical connections for the CNC and machine, refer to the corresponding connection
manual.

2.2.1 Laser Gas

2.2.1.1 Laser gas specification


Supply the laser oscillator with a mixture of gases that satisfy the conditions listed below.
(1) Composition ratio and accuracy
(For the composition ratio, check the label and specifications of the oscillator.)
CO2 5±0.25% : He 60±3%(He balance) : N2 35±1.75%
(2) Water (H2O) : 5 ppm or less
(3) Hydrocarbon (CnHm) : 1 ppm or less
(4) Gas purity : 99.99% or higher

2.2.1.2 Gas pipe


Observe the following cautions for piping between the laser gas cylinder and laser oscillator.

(1) It is recommended that a polyethylene tube E series (E-64-Y-0100: 3/8 inches, Yellow) having an
inside diameter of 6 mm or larger (manufactured by Parker Hanniffin Corporation) be used. Do not
use a nylon, rubber, or urethane tube.
(2) Use swage-lock vacuum fittings. Do not use a one-touch coupler, quick coupler, or hose-band
fittings.

- 28 -
B-70475EN/01 2.INSTALLATION
(3) Minimize the length of tubing. It should be kept within 5 m. Never exceed 15 m. For a length of 15
m or more, use stainless bright-annealed piping, but do not use a copper piping. In this case, do not
extend piping over 30 m.
(4) Minimize the number of fittings used. Connect pipes, if necessary, using a swage-lock vacuum
fittings or by TIG welding.
Piping should be installed by a vacuum piping specialist.
(5) Always keep the piping materials clean. Do not allow foreign matter to get in the pipe.
(6) Use a regulator that has been degreased and is free from gas leakage.
(7) Please set the exhaust time of external piping (parameter No.15260) long when the piping distance is
5m or more. The standard value of the parameter is two seconds every 5m.
(8) The gas used by the laser oscillator is exhausted from the GAS OUT port. Though the exhausted
amount of gas is very small, do not exhaust the amount of the exhausted gas in the room with
airtight, Lay pipes from the GAS OUT port and exhaust laser gas to outdoors.

2.2.1.3 Leakage in external piping


After installing the piping, see Subsection 2.3.2, and be sure to conduct a clamp test to check for gas
leakage.
If the rate of change in primary pressure over eight hours exceeds 10%, or if the rate of change in
secondary pressure over eight hours exceeds 10% for a polyethylene tube or 6% for a stainless pipe,
leakage that prevents normal oscillator operation is present. Use the helium leakage detector to locate the
leakage and eliminate it.

2.2.1.4 Replacing the laser gas cylinder


(1) If the primary pressure of the regulator installed in the laser gas cylinder is 1 MPa or less, replace the
laser gas cylinder with new one.
(2) When laser gas runs out during oscillator operation, the oscillator stops automatically. In this case,
after the oscillator stops, replace the gas cylinder.
(3) When replacing the gas cylinder, close the main plug of the gas cylinder, completely loosen the
adjustment valve of the regulator, then remove the regulator.
If the adjustment valve of the regulator is left tightened, external air will enter the piping. When the
oscillator is started after the replacement of the cylinder, the external piping exhaust operates to
remove gas inside the piping, and the oscillator starts in the normal sequence.
When laser gas runs out during purging, a stop occurs while the inside of the piping is in the
negative pressure state. If the gas cylinder is replaced in this state, the atmosphere is sucked.
Therefore, be sure to loosen the adjustment valve of the regulator before removing the regulator.
Before the oscillator starts, the external piping exhaust operation takes place then the automatic
aging function operates to perform aging in the oscillator to prevent possible troubles from occurring
if the atmosphere should be sucked.

2.2.2 Cooling Water


CAUTION
To prevent that the cooling water flows in to the oscillator by the irregular driving
of the chiller in the oscillator off, install the valve on the cooling water inlet of the
oscillator.

- 29 -
2.INSTALLATION B-70475EN/01

2.2.2.1 Specification of the cooling water


The quality of cooling water is specified in the table below. Use pure water or tap water passed through
an ion exchanger.

Iron Fe 0.3mg/L or less
Sulfur ion S2- Not to be detected
Reference item
Ammonia ion NH4+ 0.2mg/L or less
Ionic silica SiO2 30mg/L or less
ppm = mg/L

2.2.2.2 Pure water supply unit


Install a pure water supply unit (ion-exchange region) at the water inlet of the chiller. The pure water
supply unit can prevent problems with the oscillator from occurring due to corrosion or a clogged pipe.
Replace the water periodically after every 1,500 hours because the quality of the circulating cooling water
is lowered.
Product name : Pure Water Supply Cartridge
Manufacturer : ORUGANO Co. Ltd.
Use : Refer to the description indicated on the product.

2.2.2.3 Anticorrosive
Add the following anticorrosive to cooling water immediately after installation to prevent problems due
to corroding cooling water and to decrease the frequency of replacement of cooling water.
Consult the chiller manufacturer for use of the anticorrosive.
Product name Manufacturer
1 CONTLIME K-6000 Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.
2 Kurilex L-111 Kurita Water Industries Ltd.

Use : Add the anticorrosive above to cooling water initially so that the concentration is within 1000 to
2000 ppm. (100 to 200 cc/100 liters). Monthly check the concentration of the anticorrosive using
concentration check paper dedicated to anticorrosive and adds the anticorrosive to cooling water
until the concentration reaches about 1000 ppm.
Concentration check paper :
Purchase a concentration check set (50 sheets of check paper, a dropping pipette, etc.) together with
CONTLIME K-6000 (manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Inc).

CAUTION
If the above anticorrosive is added to cooling water and the concentration is
controlled, also be sure to replace the cooling water every year.

2.2.2.4 Cleaning agent


To remove foreign matters such as fur that have adhered to the inside of the cooling water circulating path,
wash the cooling water circulating path using the following detergent. Consult the chiller manufacturer
for use of the detergent.

- 30 -
B-70475EN/01 2.INSTALLATION

Product name Manufacturer


1 DESLIME Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.
2 Kuridine I-302 Kurita Water Industries Ltd.

Use: Add the detergent of 10% of the amount of cooling water, circulate the water for an hour, and then
drain the water. After that, rinse the cooling water circulating path thoroughly. Do not touch a stock
solution of DESLIME with your bare hands because the solution is a strong chemical. If a stock
solution accidentally contacts your skin, wash the stock solution off your skin well under running
water.
If waste water used for washing is left standing, the main ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, is
decomposed. Wait until hydrogen peroxide is decomposed, or dilute wastewater with water to
reduce the concentration, and then flush the wastewater down the drain.

2.2.2.5 Antifreezing
If the chiller is used in a cold district, it should be provided with an antifreezing function. When the air
temperature falls, the water supply pump should be kept running. In a very cold district, incorporate a
heater into the chiller to prevent the water temperature to drop too much. A chiller with a built-in heater is
recommended because the water temperature must reach 20°C or greater to start the oscillator.

2.2.3 Electrical Connections


Connect the cables to the laser oscillator as described below.
(1) Specifications of the circuit breakers for the factory facilities and power cables
The maximum current supplied to the laser oscillator are as follows:

2.3.2 External Laser Gas Piping Leakage Check (Clamp Test)


When you have installed or modified laser gas piping, conduct a clamp test that checks for any leakage by
sealing laser gas inside the piping and observing the pressure change after a specified period.
(1) Measurement
Measure and record the gas pressure as described below.
For recording measured data, use the external leakage record table presented in Appendix G.
(a) Stop the oscillator. At least five minutes after purging is completed, turn the secondary pressure
adjustment handle of the regulator in the pressure-reducing direction to completely close the
adjustment nozzle, then close the main plug of the gas cylinder.
(b) Record the primary pressure (P1S), secondary pressure (P2S), and start time (tS) of the regulator
connected to the cylinder.
(c) When about eight hours have passed, record the primary pressure (P1E), secondary pressure
(P2E), and end time (tE) of the regulator.
(d) Open the main plug of the gas cylinder(Note), and measure and record the primary pressure (P1ST)
of the regulator.

NOTE
When opening the main plug of the gas cylinder, you should stand at an oblique
position to the regulator. Never stand just in front of the pressure gauge. If
significant leakage is present, opening the main plug causes an abrupt pressure
to be applied to the regulator, which can damage the regulator.

(2) Determination
Calculate the change ratio from measured values by using the equation below to determine the
leakage state.
(a) Primary pressure change ratio
(P1ST - P1E) 8 hours × 100
Primary pressure change ratio= ×
P1ST (tE - tS) hours
If the primary pressure change ratio is 10% or less, no leakage is assumed on the primary side.
When the fluctuation of air temperature is remarkable, it is possible that the primary pressure
change ratio fluctuates.
(b) Secondary pressure change ratio
(P2S - P2E) 8 hours × 100
Secondary pressure change ratio= ×
P2S (tE - tS) hours
If the secondary pressure change ratio is not greater than the following value, no leakage is
assumed on the secondary side:

• 10% when a polyethylene tube is used for piping


• 6% when a metallic pipe such as a stainless pipe is used for piping

2.3.3 Checking Cooling Water


(1) Turn off the main circuit breaker of the oscillator and the power supply.
(2) Check that the water piping is connected to the water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillator in
the correct direction.
(3) Completely open the water piping of the outlet to let water flow without any obstacle. Move the
chiller unit manually to let cooling water to flow at a rate of about 10 liters per minute.
In this condition, check for water leakage in the following:
• Water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillator
• Water piping (tubes, fittings, and so on) inside the oscillator
(4) If the above checking shows that there is no water leakage, feed cooling water to the oscillator at the
specified flow rate. Set the output pressure of the cooling water circulating unit to 0.5 Mpa (5 bar) or
less.
In this condition, check for water leakage in the following:
• Water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillator
• Water piping (tubes, fittings, and so on) inside the oscillator
MODEL Rated flow rate
C2000i-C 75 liters/min
C4000i-C 160 liters/min
C6000i-C 125 liters/min x2

(5) Stop the chiller unit, and change the operation mode from manual (local) to automatic (remote).
(6) If there is no water leakage, turn on the oscillator. Check that the start command from the CNC to
cooling water circulating unit causes the cooling water circulating unit to operate as specified by the
command. If the flow rate is insufficient, alarm No. 4121 (CHILLER WATER FLOW 1) or No.
4122 (CHILLER WATER FLOW 2) is issued soon after the chiller unit is started. If the alarm is
issued, check the pipe diameter, piping route, and the circulating unit installation position, and take
measures to reduce the pressure loss.
(7) Check that the cooling temperature of cooling water is set to 25 to 30°C.
Normally, 27°C is recommended.
(8) Wait for the water temperature to reach 20°C or higher before starting the oscillator.

2.3.4 Check for Leakage within the Oscillator


(1) Use the automatic leakage check function.

2.3.5 Locating Internal Leakage


When gas leakage is present inside the oscillator, use a helium leakage detector or liquid leakage checker
to locate the leakage.

CAUTION
Because the oscillator is not designed to withstand pressure increase, do not
increase pressure beyond 0.08 MPa. Applying a high pressure may damage the
connector, oil gage of turbo blower, and so on. To prevent the connector from
being damaged, apply pressure with the cable left attached to the turbo blower.

(1) Turn on the power to the oscillator, then open the valve of the gas cylinder.
(2) Set the secondary pressure of the regulator of the laser gas cylinder to 0.05 MPa (0.5kgf / cm2).

- 44 -
B-70475EN/01 2.INSTALLATION
(3) Set parameter No. 29350 to 20.
Use the positive pressure leakage check function in the automatic leakage check function to make
the pressure in the oscillator higher than the atmospheric pressure.
(4) Apply the helium leakage detector to a possibly faulty position. If there is a leakage, the checker
indicates it by display or sound. When using the liquid leakage checker, drip the liquid on a possibly
faulty position. If gas leaks, bubbles appear, so you can determine the location of a leakage. After
using the liquid leakage checker, wipe off the checker, and clean the position with alcohol.

2.3.6 Discharge Aging


If the oscillator is left unused for a long time (three days or more), or if the laser gas circulating system
has been opened to the atmosphere (for example, to clean the mirrors or replace gas system components),
aging is required. This involves warming up the discharge tubes and circulating gas by performing
internal discharge to output absorbent contaminants as gas. If the laser gas circulating system has been
opened to the atmosphere, perform a leakage check before attempting aging.

(1) When the laser gas circulating system has been opened to the atmosphere
When the laser gas circulating system has been opened to the atmosphere, perform discharge aging
by using the automatic aging function.
(a) Set bit 6 (EGE) of parameter No. 15008 to 1 to enable the automatic aging function.
(b) Check and set the following parameters:
Parameter No.15320, 29060 Laser output at power calibration
Parameter No.15321, 29061 Oscillating frequency command at power calibration
Parameter No.15322, 29062 Pulse duty command at power calibration
Parameter No.15323, 29063 Correction time at power calibration
Parameter No.15242, 29023 Gas pressure setting at power calibration
Parameter No.15326, 29066 Laser output at aging
Parameter No.15327, 29067 Oscillating frequency command at aging
Parameter No.15328, 29068 Pulse duty command at aging
Parameter No.15329, 29069 Time per operation at aging
Parameter No.15330 Gas pressure setting at aging

(c) Turn on the oscillator start switch (RUN) to enter the discharge ready (LRDY) state. In this
state, set the number of aging operations in parameter No. 15334, and turn on the discharge
start switch (HVON). Aging is then performed as many times as specified.
(d) After completing aging, the power calibration coefficient is obtained, and the oscillation ready
state (LSTR) is entered, which makes the system ready for processing.
(2) When the oscillator is left unused for a long time (3 days to 2 weeks)
When the oscillator is started with the automatic aging function, the function determines the unused
period and performs aging as many times as required.
(a) Set bit 6 (EGE) of parameter No. 15008 to 1 to enable the automatic aging function.
(b) Turn on the oscillator start switch.
(c) The automatic aging function operates to perform aging.
(d) After aging is performed as many times as required, the oscillation ready state (LSTR) is
entered, and automatic aging ends.
(3) When the oscillator is left unused for two weeks or more
Use the manual aging function to perform discharge aging for at least 8 hours.

2.3.7 Beam Mode Check


WARNING
A beam mode deviation may occur depending on the transportation method and
storage condition. When installing the oscillator, be sure to perform this step. A
mode deviation does not mean a failure. Perform alignment by following the
procedure described in Subsection 5.24.1.

CAUTION
1 “KEEP OUT” on the area where the laser beam is irradiated. Make the “KEEP
OUT” area with the plastic chain, the stand and “KEEP OUT” sign.
2 There are not the flammable thing or the explosive around the area where the
laser beam is irradiated.
3 Set the table for mode taken or the power probe table, just behind them, put the
mask for the laser beam. Put on the iron plate or the firebrick behind the acrylic
resin. Fix the blower or power probe with the magnetic stand.

(2) Remove the guide pipe or the first bend mirror located between the exit of the laser beam of the
oscillator and machine.
(3) Start the oscillator.
(4) Set to acrylic block with red guide laser. Make sure the red guide laser does not interfere with
something.
(5) Output a laser beam by using programmed commands with the output set to the rated output, a duty
cycle set to 100%, and the output duration set to 0.1 second. At this time, blow air with a drier or the
like.
(6) Make sure red guide laser and burned acrylic is on same position. If it is not so, adjust it.

- 46 -
B-70475EN/01 2.INSTALLATION

CAUTION
1 First, check the beam position. Laser light, if allowed to penetrate the acrylic
material because of incorrect operation, is very dangerous. The paint of the
machine is also likely to be damaged. So, attach as feel plate, then an acrylic
plate, about 30cm × 30cm × 3mm in size.
If a guide laser is used, confirm that CO2 gas laser light is directed to the same
spot as the guide laser.
2 Ventilate the optical path. Acrylic gas staying around the optical path can
increase the mode diameter or cause shape deformation, which prevents correct
mode checking.

(7) Next, attach an acrylic block (with a thickness of 30 mm or more) to the position indicated by the
white acrylic mark. Ensure that the surface of the acrylic block is perpendicular to the direction of
CO2 gas laser light. The perpendicularity of the acrylic block surface can be checked by adjusting
the block such that the guide laser is reflected from the acrylic block surface and returns to the beam
outlet.
(8) Set the conditions of the beam output program as follows:
Output = Rated output
Duty = 100 %
Duration = See the following table.
Perform internal discharge with a rated output specified. If actual output Pa differs from the
specified output, mode shape comparison becomes difficult. So, modify the command so that the
output difference is suppressed to within ±2%.
Example
With the C4000i-C, setting is made to output 4080 W to 3920 W.
Model Duration
C2000i-C 4 sec
C4000i-C 2.5 sec
C6000i-C 2.5 sec

(9) Direct the drier so that it blows air at 45° to the acrylic block, then output the beam. If air is not
provided correctly, the acrylic vapor will catch fire. If fire occurs, the mode depth may become
shortened.
The following two types of mode patterns are collected:
Cold mode:
A pattern is obtained after the oscillator is left in the base discharge state for at least five
minutes to let the resonator cool down.
Hot mode:
A pattern is obtained immediately after internal discharge with the rated output is performed for
two to three minutes.
(10) Record the directions (up, down, right and left), output conditions, beam path length, and drier
blowing direction for the burn pattern.
From the hot mode pattern, check for output coupler deformation and dirt in the internal mirrors.
If there is a problem, align the resonator of the oscillator, or clean or replace mirrors by following
the procedure described in Section 5.24.

was changed" is displayed when the LRDY state is entered. Release the message by a reset
operation.
(3) Remove the top panel of the oscillator so that the discharge tube and trigger electrode can be
checked.
(4) Turn on the oscillator start switch to place the oscillator in the discharge state.
(5) Check that discharge of the trigger electrode does not disappear in 5 minutes after start of discharge.
(6) After checking ends, reset the parameters set in (1) to their original settings.

If discharge disappears in (5), check the external laser gas piping and laser gas composition, or perform
discharge aging.

2.4.2 Removing Cooling Water


Remove cooling water according to the procedure below.
(1) Open the cooling water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT), and leave both open.
(2) Once the cooling water has stopped draining, connect a compressed air hose to the cooling water
inlet (IN). Check that the cooling water outlet is open.
(3) Gradually supply compressed air, allowing the pressure to build up to 0.1 to 0.2 MPa. Never apply
full pressure suddenly. Continue to supply compressed air at this pressure for about 5 minutes.
(4) Increase the compressed air pressure to 0.3 to 0.4 MPa, and supply air until water inside the white
water piping of the oscillator is completely removed. It takes about 10 minutes to remove water.
For C4000i-C or C6000i-C close the orange water removal valve of the water distributor unit, and
further supply compressed air for five minutes.
(5) Exchange the cooling water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) and supply compressed air to execute steps
(3) and (4).

3.3 DETAILS OF MAINTENANCE


When opening the panels and doors during maintenance, keep the power turned off. Before replacing oil,
be sure to check that purging is completed.

3.3.1 Turbo Blower Oil


NOTE
1 Use turbo oil kit (A04B-0800-K329#1) for turbo blower (A04B-0800-C019,
C025).
2 It is possible to use turbo oil kit (A04B-0800-K329#1) for all of turbo blowers
made by FANUC.

3.3.1.1 Check method


(1) Check of oil level
Check the amount of oil in the turbo blower while referring to the figure below. The oil level should
be between graduations H and L. This check should be made when the oscillator is at a rest. When
the turbo blower is running, it is impossible to check the amount of oil correctly.

Oil gauge

Oil inlet

Oil drain valve

Fig.3.3.1(a) Turbo blower oil check points Fig.3.3.1(b) Oil gauge

(2) Discoloration of the new lubricant oil


The new lubricant oil might discover as shown in following figure depending on the operational
condition of the laser oscillator. As discoloration is usable, change it on recommended interval.
If turbo blower has any damage, there are particles on the white plate of oil level window.
In this case, it is necessary to change the turbo blower.
If it is difficult to judge by the above method, drain out oil from the turbo blower, and confirm the
drained oil. If this oil contains particles, the turbo blower might have broken down.

3.3.1.2 Replacement method


(1) Before replacing the oil, be sure to stop the oscillator according to the correct procedure and turn off
the power. Remove the hexagonal-head screw from the oil inlet of the turbo blower with a 17 mm
wrench. Be careful not to lose the O-ring on the hexagonal-head screw or contaminate it.

CAUTION
If the oscillator is not stopped with the correct procedure, the pressure in the
vacuum system in the oscillator becomes negative. Opening the oil inlet under
such a condition lets air get in the turbo blower. This flow of gas causes oil mist
to get into the vacuum system of the oscillator, resulting in contamination of
internal mirrors.

(2) Get a container for oil drain on hand, and put the tip of the drain tube into the container.
Turn the oil drain cock through 90 degrees, and the oil will start draining.
(3) After draining all oil, return the oil drain cock and shut it.
(4) Remove the inner lid from the oil bottle. Attach a new pouring tube to the nozzle then insert the
nozzle into the oil inlet and pour oil. At this time, use care to prevent foreign matter from getting
into the turbo blower.
Pour oil while checking the oil level from the oil level window until the oil level reaches the
three-quarter position from L between L and H. Either superfluous or insufficient oil can be a cause
of trouble.
(5) Wipe the area around the oil inlet, hexagonal-head screw on the oil inlet, and O-ring with a clean
cloth or paper, and then check that there is no dust. Dust getting into oil may cause a turbo blower
fault. Check that the O-ring is fit to the hexagonal-head screw on the oil inlet, and then tighten the
screw (recommended torque: 800N⋅cm)

CAUTION
If the O-ring at the inlet is damaged, gas leakage will result.

(6) If oil has spilled over, wipe it up.


(7) After replacing the oil for the turbo blower, be sure to conduct “Support function for start-up after
turbo oil exchange “.

- 55 -
3.MAINTENANCE B-70475EN/01

CAUTION
If you do not conduct “Support function for start-up after turbo oil exchange “after
replacing the oil for the turbo blower, correct discharge is not possible, which can
become a cause of trouble.

3.3.1.3 Storage and expiration date of turbo blower oil


Use the turbo blower within expiration date, which is showed on sticker. Use a clean supply tube when
you pour the oil and be careful not to put dust in turbo blower. Keep away from direct sunlight and keep
in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. Keep as much as possible in a clean environment.

3.3.2 Exhaust Pump Oil


Spec. of Exhaust pump oil: A98L-0040-0093#1.0L1

3.3.2.1 Check method


Watch the oil gauge, and check that the oil level is between graduations Low and High. Also, check
whether the oil is dark.
If the oil level is below L, add oil to the turbo blower or replace the oil in it. If the oil level is above H,
drain until the oil level becomes below H.

3.3.2.2 Replacement method


(1) Stop the laser oscillator with the correct procedure, and turn the power off.
(2) Remove the oil inlet plug. There is an O-ring on it. Be careful not to damage it. A missing or
damaged O-ring can lower the exhaust capacity of the pump.
(3) Insert the drain tube into a drain oil vessel, and then open the drain cock. After the oil has been
drained up, close the cock.
(4) Pour new oil into the oil inlet, while checking the oil gauge.
(5) Attach the oil inlet plug.

3.3.3 Exhaust Pump Filter


Spec. of Exhaust pump filter: A90L-0001-0911

3.3.3.1 Replacement method


When the operation time reaches every 4,000 hours or 2 years whichever comes first, or the exhaust
capacity is lowered, replace the filter. A clogged filter may cause a whitish smoke of oil mist to come out
of the pump or lower the exhaust capacity.

3.3.4.1 Cleaning and Replacing the Optical Parts


The output coupler, rear mirror, and folding mirrors of the laser oscillator must be cleaned or replaced
periodically. Similarly, if the laser output or beam mode becomes abnormal, the optical parts must be
cleaned or replaced. When the optical parts are cleaned or replaced, the vacuum system is open to the
atmosphere. So, ensure that dust does not enter the vacuum system.
Use the specified mirror cleaning liquid (A98L-0001-0856#1).
Clean the mirrors according to the following procedure:

2 Checking parameters Check that parameters (discharge, oscillator control, gas pressure control,
laser power supply and power table) are same as parameter sheet attached
to the oscillator.
3 Use of un-specified laser Un-specified laser gas is below:
gas 1) The composition in gas cylinder is different.
2) The actual composition ratio is different from the one described on laser
gas cylinder.
If these laser gas is used, below phenomenon occurs, so replace to
specified laser gas.
a) Much N2
RF voltage of all power supply becomes high. Actual power
becomes high in high power command, and low in low power
command than standard. (DCI alarm)
b) Much He
RF voltage of all power supply becomes low, and discharge area
enlarges. Actual power becomes low in high power command, and
high in low power command than standard.
4 Checking external gas leak RF voltage of all power supply becomes high, and actual laser power
becomes low. (DCI alarm). RF voltage falls down by repetition of purge, and
power is recovered. This phenomenon is remarkable after stopping for a
long time.
Check the external gas piping and leak rate, and treat it according to
subsection 2.3.2
5 Checking the cooling water Check that the cooling water temperature is within the range from 25 to
30°C.
In case of OH alarm, supply water flow is shortage, so remove the water jam

4.3 MAJOR FAULTS

4.3.1 Laser Output Just after Switch On Is Low


(1) The cooling water temperature is not normal, although the chiller unit is operating. This
phenomenon may be caused when the ambient temperature is low. In such a case, the specified
temperature will be set in five to ten minutes after the unit starts. So, perform activation again.
(2) Slight leakage exists in the tube between laser oscillator and gas cylinder. If the laser output in the
first run after a long halt is low and becomes normal after the second run, slight leakage may be
present in the tube between the laser oscillator and gas cylinder. (See Subsection 3.3.2.)
Check for leakage in the gas piping system, for looseness in joints, and for any crack in the tube. If
any problem exists, eliminate the leakage, additionally tighten the joint, or replace the tube.

4.3.2 Circuit Breaker for Cooling Fan, Solenoid Valve, and 24V
Power Supply Trips
If a load short-circuits such as a burn-in of a fan motor coil occurs in the cooling fan, solenoid valve, or
24V power supply, the circuit breaker (NBK1) trips. Replace the component in which the load
short-circuit occurred, and check the cabling to the component. Replace a cable if it is abnormal.

4.3.3 Motor starter of Exhaust Pump Trips Thermally


Possible causes are listed below. Take appropriate action.
No. Cause of trouble Solution
Check if the thermal setting of the electromagnetic contactor or
1 Anomalous setting of thermal relay motor starter for the exhaust pump is made correctly. If not so,
correct it. (Setting value B= 5.5A)
1) Check if the room temperature is lower than 5 degree. If so,
raise it.
2 Too high viscosity of oil
2) Check the deterioration of oil, which causes the viscosity
increase. If so, change it.
The normal direction is counterclockwise when seen from the side
3 Reverse rotation direction of pump
of motor fan. If not so, correct it at the terminal.
During pump operation, check the oil level through the oil check
4 Excessive oil window. If the oil level is between L and H, the oil level is
regarded as normal.
5 Undesignated oil is used. Use the designated oil.
6 Exhaust filter choked. Replace it.
7 Loosened terminal of connecting cable Fix it tightly.
8 Vane damaged Replace the exhaust pump.

4.3.4 Main Breaker Trips


Possible causes are listed below. Take appropriate action.
No. Cause of trouble Solution
Check for loose terminals. If the circuit breaker is burned black,
1 Damaged circuit breaker
replace it.
Check whether the power magnetics cabinet in the oscillator is
abnormal. Turn off the circuit breakers connected to the power
2 Beyond rated current
supply and inverter sequentially to determine the unit that caused
excessive current.

5 UNITS
This chapter explains the units inside the oscillator.
The following provides information that you should bear in mind when performing replacement work.

WARNING
1 Before replacing a unit, be sure to turn off the main power supply to the control
unit. In addition, perform replacement work in a safe place where there is no
machine operating nearby.
2 When handling a heavy component or unit, use a support device such as a
crane not to apply excessive load to the maintenance personnel. Incorrect
handling can results in serious injury to the personnel.

CAUTION
Note that components inside the oscillator heat up. If you have to touch a heated
component, wear heat-proof gloves and so forth to protect you.

Before starting work, read "SAFETY PRECAUTIONS" in this manual.

5.8 EXHAUST PUMP


Spec.No. of Exhaust pump: A90L-0001-0425

5.8.1 Replacement Method


(1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then turn off the main circuit breaker and power supply for the laser
oscillator. Turn off the power to the chiller unit.
(2) Drain the cooling water from the oscillator, then disconnects the two water tubes.
(3) Disconnect the tubes from the pump outlet and inlet. Then, disconnect the heavy-duty power cables
from the terminal block on the side of the pump.
(4) Remove the bolts securing the exhaust pump unit, then remove the pump unit. Remove the bolts
securing the pump to the mounting plate, and then remove the pump.
(5) Position the new exhaust pump on the mounting plate, then secure the pump unit by reversing steps
(2) to (4). The new pump may not be fitted with gas and water fittings. Remove them from the old
pump, bind seal tape on the threaded part, and install them in the original positions.
(6) Pumps are shipped without lubricating oil. Add oil to the pumps. Operating the pump without
lubricating oil will cause the thermal switch to trip, and will ultimately damage the pump.
(7) Start the oscillator, perform leakage tests for the laser oscillator, and check the operation of the
exhaust pump.
When the power is first turned on, check that gas is output from the gas outlet of the oscillator. The
pump starts after gas has been discharged from the external pipes for a few seconds. If no gas is
discharged, or the pump sounds abnormally, the pump turns reversely. Check the cabling.

5.9.1 Configuration
The gas controller consists of a charge unit, an exhaust unit, pressure sensors, and so on. Fig. 5.9 shows
an installation photo of the gas controller. The following outlines the functions of components shown in
the figure:
- 138 -
B-70475EN/01 5.UNITS
(1) Pressure sensor
This sensor monitors the pressure in the pipe on the turbo blower inlet side.
(2) Atmospheric pressure sensor
This sensor monitors whether the pressure in the oscillator has reached atmospheric pressure.
(3) Filter
This filter prevents impurities from entering the oscillator.
(4) Gas supply pressure sensor
This sensor continuously monitors the pressure of the laser gas supplied from an external source (gas
cylinder).
(5) Purge valve
When the machine operation stops, this valve supplies laser gas to the oscillator until the pressure in
the oscillator reaches atmospheric pressure.
(6) External pipe exhaust valve
When the oscillator starts, this valve opens for a certain period to allow laser gas in the laser gas pipe
between the oscillator and gas cylinder to escape.
(7) Gas supply valve
When the machine is operating, this value opens to supply laser gas to the oscillator.
(8) Pressure control valve
According to the command issued from the CNC, this valve controls the flow rate of the laser gas
supply to maintain a specified laser gas pressure in the oscillator.
(9) Exhaust flow rate adjustment valve
This valve adjusts the flow rate of laser gas released from the oscillator during normal operation.
(10) Exhaust valve
When the oscillator starts, this valve opens to allow laser gas to escape from the oscillator. During
normal operation, this valve is closed, and a constant amount of gas escapes through the exhaust
flow rate adjustment valve connected in parallel.
(11) Three way valve
This valve connects the exhaust pump to the oscillator to discharge laser gas from the oscillator
during exhaust pump operation. When the exhaust pump is stopped, this valve switches to the
atmosphere to open the exhaust pump to atmospheric pressure.
(12) Bypass valve
This valve connects the motor chamber of the turbo blower to the exhaust pump. When the oscillator
starts, this valve opens to release laser gas from the motor section. During normal operation, this
valve is closed, and a constant amount of gas is released through the orifice connected in parallel.

Make an adjustment so that the center of the CO2 laser beam is aligned with the center of the guide laser
beam.
(1) Attach an acrylic plate at about 3 to 10 m away from the beam outlet of the laser oscillator, and
collect the burn pattern of the CO2 laser beam (rated output, CW, irradiation period of 0.1 second).
Do not attempt to touch the acrylic plate after beam pattern collection.
(2) By turning the X-axis and Y-axis adjustment screws, align the guide laser beam with the center of
the burn pattern obtained in step (1). Turn the adjustment screws using a 2-mm hexagon wrench.
(3) Compare the optical axis of the guide laser beam with the center of the burn pattern of the CO2 laser
beam, obtained approximately 1 m from the laser oscillator outlet. If the difference between the two
beam centers is within ±2 mm, the optical axis adjustment can be regarded as being successful.
(4) If an optical axis mismatch is detected in step (3), adjust the optical axis of the guide laser beam by
moving the plate and stage of the guide laser unit. Then, repeat the adjustment procedure from step
(2).

5.24 ALIGNMENT OF THE RESONATOR


The theory of alignment is such that while monitoring the laser output signal with a tester, you adjust the
angle of each mirror to obtain a maximum output power. Once this adjustment is made, all mirrors are set
for maximum output. So, if a mirror is cleaned or replaced, the original state or original beam mode can
be restored by adjusting only that mirror to maximize its output power.

5.24.4 Obtaining a Maximum Power


5.24.4.1 Preparation
(1) Using the conditions Pc = rated output, Duty cycle = 15%, and Frequency = 100 Hz, adjust the duty
cycle to determine the actual conditions for internal discharge.
Maximum value of Duty is 25% for C2000i-C, 20% for C4000i-C and 13% for C6000i-C.
If a large output is used, the mode present when a maximum power is obtained is not always the best
due to thermal distortion of each mirror. A capability of detecting an output variation due to base
output fluctuation, tester resolution, chiller temperature, and so forth is required. If the discharge
area is narrow, the output variation dependent on a shift of the internal optical axis becomes small.
(2) Connect the tester to the BNC terminal CN59 of shutter PCB.
(3) Start internal discharge. Start adjustment when the output becomes stable after 5 minutes.

5.24.4.2 Procedure
By using two mirrors A and B with mirror A used as the reference, find a position where a maximum
power is obtained based on mirror B. While turning mirror A in one direction in steps of an interval of the
micrometer, for example, 1 division (10 μm) or 2 divisions (20 μm), adjust mirror B for each division,
and obtain a maximum power at each point of mirror A. Graph the data at each point of A, and determine
a mirror A position representing a maximum power. Then, by aligning mirror A at such a position, adjust
mirror B to obtain a maximum power. Two micrometers are provided for each mirror. So, be sure to
obtain a maximum power with one axis, then obtain a maximum power with the other axis. Do not move
the X-axis and Y-axis at the same time.

5.25 POWER CALIBRATION METHOD

5.25.1 Setting a Power Input Compensation Coefficient


After replacing the rear mirror of the laser oscillator or replacing the power sensor unit, check and set the
power input compensation coefficient. A laser beam is directly measured. So, be sure to strictly observe
the safety precautions related to a laser beam.

(1) Set the following parameters:


Parameter No.15208 4096 (For C4000i-C or C6000i-C), 6144 (For C2000i-C)
Parameter No.15209 200 (For C2000i-C), 400 (For C4000i-C), 600 (For C6000i-C)
(2) By collecting the mode, check if the mirrors of the oscillator are aligned correctly. If the mode is
incorrect, make a readjustment.
(3) Perform internal discharge at the rated output for 1 minute or more, run the program below in the
automatic mode, and place a power probe in the middle of the optical path to measure the output
value Pr of a laser beam irradiated outside.
At this time, it is recommended to make a measurement at the beam outlet.
Record the actual output value Pa displayed on the laser setting screen simultaneously with this
measurement.
G32 P1 Q1 ;
G24 S1800 Q100 R20000 ;
G32 P0 ; (irradiation for 20 seconds)
M30

CAUTION
1) When the rated output laser beam is irradiated to the probe, the maximum
allowable laser beam strength of the probe is exceeded, resulting in a probe
surface destruction. So, when making a measurement, decrease the output to
prevent the probe surface from being destructed.
2) If dust or dirt is attached to the probe surface, the probe surface may be
destructed by a decreased output.

(4) If power input compensation coefficient K is set correctly in parameter No.15215, Pa = Pr' should
result. If the value of Pa differs from Pr' by ±5% or more, set power input compensation coefficient
K (parameter No.15215) again according to the following expression:

K (new value) = Pr' (probe-converted value)/Pa × K (old value)

(5) Make a measurement again as described in step (3) above to check that Pa = Pr'.

5.26 ALIGNMENT OF THE BEAM FOLDING UNIT (C2000i-C,


C4000i-C SHORT OPTICAL PATH LENGTH TYPE)
The beam folding unit has two mirrors. One mirror is fixed, on which laser beams from the output coupler
are reflected first. The other is movable.
(1) Start the oscillator and make sure that laser beams can be irradiated.
(2) Attach an acrylic plate at about 3 m away from the beam outlet of the oscillator, then collect the burn
pattern of the CO2 gas laser beam (rated output, CW, irradiation period of 0.1 second). Do not touch
the acrylic plate after beam pattern collection.
(3) Check if the CO2 gas laser beam and the guide laser beam are aligned with each other. If not, make
an adjustment according to Section 5.13.
- 175 -
5.UNITS B-70475EN/01

(4) Adjust the adjustment screw of the beam folding unit so that the center of the oscillator laser beam
matches the center of the guide laser beam. Do not touch the screws at the support points. The
spacing of support points of the mirror holder is adjusted to 3 mm.

6.2 POWER FEEDBACK FUNCTION BASED ON THE ACTUAL


OUTPUT ESTIMATION METHOD

6.2.1 Overview
Based on specified output conditions, this function estimates an actual output by using the data table in
which the relationships between the specified output conditions and actual outputs are registered, and
exercises feedback control, aiming at the estimated value. Necessary data needs to be registered
beforehand in the data table.
The feedback gain and compensation clamp value are the same as used with the conventional feedback
control function. (A feedback gain is set in parameter No. 15208, and a compensation clamp value is set
in parameter No. 15209.)

6.2.2 Data Table

6.2.2.1 Method of registration


(1) Set bit 0 (MNT) of parameter No. 15160 and bit 1 (PTB) of parameter No. 29000 to 1 to enable

Eight tables are prepared (for peak powers 1 to 8).


Data to be registered needs to satisfy the following conditions:
Peak power 1 < Peak power 2 < Peak power 3 . . < Peak power 8
Frequency 1 < Frequency 2 < Frequency 3 . . . < Frequency 8
Duty 1 < Duty 2 < Duty 3 . . < Duty 6

6.2.3 Compensation for Power Sensor Response Speed


To improve the response delay of the power sensor, the monitored value of the power sensor to be
returned in response to an output command value is estimated, and feedback control is exercised
according to the deviation between the estimated value and the monitored value of the power sensor.
Estimation processing is based on the primary delay filter to which an output command value is input.
Therefore, a time constant needs to be set beforehand.

6.2.3.1 Time constant measurement method


(1) Set bit 2 (PTC) of parameter No. 29000 to 1 to enable display of the data table screen for actual
output estimation. The rated output depends on the oscillator model. So, set a measured peak power
in parameter No. 29003 actually. In addition, set a beam output time in parameter No. 29004.

#7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 #0

0 : Disabled.
1 : Enabled.
When this parameter is set to 0, the screen is not displayed, and time constant
measurement is disabled.
However, a time constant measurement can be made using an external signal.
Usually, set this parameter to 0 to prevent the time constant measurement function from
being started inadvertently.

D DIAGNOSIS SCREEN INFORMATION


If a fault occurs, it is necessary to determine in which of the CNC, machine, and laser oscillator the fault
occurred. In cases other than faults in which the machine seems to be faulty because it does not operate
due to an external signal waiting state, it is useful if the internal state of the CNC, the states of the
interfaces of the PMC and the laser oscillator, and other information can be confirmed easily. This section
describes the data display items of the self-diagnosis function of the CNC that indicate the states of the
faults that can occur inside the laser oscillator. For a description of the data display items of the
self-diagnosis function that are related to the states of the faults that can occur inside the CNC, PMC, and
machine, refer to the FANUC Series 30/31i-LB Maintenance Manual.

F.1 OUTLINE OF LASER OSCILLATION SEQUENCES


This section describes sequence of oscillator start up and set down.

The laser oscillation sequences can be divided roughly into five steps.
[SEQ 1000]Initial state (purge completion state)
After power is turned on, the oscillator comes into this state.

[SEQ 2000]Discharge preparation completion state (LRDY)


When the oscillator start signal (RUN) is turned from 0 to 1, evacuation is carried and turbo blower will
start after the gas pressure become lower than “Pressure to start turbo blower”. Then gas pressure control
begins. When the gas pressure reaches the set pressure, the discharge preparation completion state
(LRDY) is set to enable the discharge start HVON.
When the oscillator start signal (RUN) is turned to 0, the oscillator will go to SEQ1000.

[SEQ 3000]Oscillation preparation completion state (LSTR)


When the discharge start signal (HVON) turned from 0 to 1, a high voltage is applied to the discharge
tube to start discharge. Next, the intra-tube gas pressure is controlled at the pressure at oscillation time,
and a calibration coefficient is set. Then, the base discharge state is set, and the oscillation preparation
completion state is set.
When the oscillator start signal (RUN) is turned to 0, the oscillator will go to SEQ1000.
When the discharge start signal (HVON) is turned to 0, the oscillator will go to SEQ2000.

[SEQ 6000]Eco Power Saving state


No discharge with stopped turbo blower.
When the oscillator start signal (RUN) is turned to 0, the oscillator will go to SEQ1000.

[SEQ 7000]Quick Power Saving state

RECORDING TABLE APPENDIX B-70475EN/01

NOTE
When opening the main cylinder valve, do not stand in front of the regulator but
stand slantwise relative to the regulator. When the main cylinder valve is opened
if there is a large amount of leakage, the regulator may be destructed because
an abrupt pressure is applied to the regulator, and broken pieces can scatter.

<6> End of measurement

Decision
Whether there is a leakage can be determined from the results of measurement as described below. If you
send your recording table via FAX to the FANUC service center, the service center will check if there is a
leakage.

(1) Leakage on the primary piping


Calculate the primary pressure variation rate according to the expression below to determine the
leakage state.
The unit of t1 and t2 is the hour.
C3 – C2 8
Primary pressure variation rate (%)= × × 100
C3 t2 – t1
If the calculated primary pressure variation rate is 10% or less, the presence of no leakage is
determined.
When the fluctuation of air temperature is remarkable, it is possible that the primary pressure change
ratio fluctuates.

(2) Leakage on the secondary piping


Calculate the secondary pressure variation rate according to the expression below to determine the
leakage state.
The unit of t1 and t2 is the hour.
D1 – D2 8
Secondary pressure variation rate (%)= × × 100
D1 t2 – t1
The presence of no leakage is determined if the calculated primary pressure variation rate is as
follows:
- 10% or less when the piping is a polyethylene tube
- 6% or less when the piping is a stainless tube

E.28 PARAMETER FOR POWER SAVING

29412 Gas pres down DCI value

[Data type] Word


[Unit of data] 0.1A
[Valid data range] 0~32767
When the DC current(DCI) of the laser power supply becomes more than the
value of this parameter when transiting from sequence 7000(Quick Power
Saving state) to sequence 3000(LSTR), the discharge is light after reducing
the gas pressure.
Note) Only the name of this parameter changed since software G4C1-03 and
G3C1-03. The operation of this function doesn't change.

F.4.1.3 Stop quick power saving state


When Quick Power Saving start/release signal(QPSS) is changed from 1 to 0, sequence 7000(Quick Power
Saving state) will be stopped, and it transit sequence 3000(LSTR).
After sequence 3000(LSTR), the letters “QPS” on CNC screen is disappeared, and Quick Power Saving state
signal F491#1(QPS) is 0. When transiting from sequence 7000(Quick Power Saving state) to sequence
3000(LSTR), the discharge is light safely after reducing the gas pressure if the DC current of the laser power
supply is the value of parameter 29412 or more. Therefore, the transition time becomes long. Though the
transition time is 2±0.5 seconds when the DC current of the laser power supply is smaller than the value of
parameter 29412, the transition time becomes long ten times or more when the oscillator extremely gets cold
and the DC current of the laser power supply is the value of parameter 29412 or more.

internal discharge is automatically executed if necessary until it get enough actual laser power. It follows
that for example ambient temperature is lowest of the specification, no alarm will be active, and after the
laser oscillator control sequence finished, the Power Calibration coefficient will be calculated properly.

NOTE
If the cooling water temperature is less than 20 , it takes time until laser oscillator control sequence finishes
because of automatic warm up sequence. For quick start-up, please keep proper water temperature with
anti-freeze function or warm-up function of the chiller.
