Safety information about laser cutting operations
Warning
Laser beam cutting is the newest machining method of applying thermal
energy, and laser light constituting its source is not visible. This necessitates
taking adequate safety measures to perform operations.
Be sure to read the safety information after installation and before
operation.
Failure to follow the operating procedure and warning may cause electric
shock hazards or personal injury such as burns due to laser light, which may
result in serious injury in some cases.
1.Safety measures for laser beams

When human eyes and skin are directly irradiated with laser light, it causes
damage to the cornea or heat damage. This, particularly when a laser system is
used, necessitates not only taking care not to irradiate human eyes and skin
directly with laser beams or with reflected light from surrounding objects but
also taking the following safety measures.
(1) All concerned, whether they are users of the laser system or outsiders, in the
workplace where the system is installed should wear goggles to protect their
eyes at all times. Use ordinary glass, quarts or plastic as the material of
goggles because carbon dioxide laser light is absorbed in them. Check the
goggles periodically to make sure that they are free from holes or cracks and
durable.
(2) When safety measures are taken for human skin, it is necessary to take
measures to prevent irradiated laser light from being reflected irregularly.
Therefore, do not use nor ground a metallic object or mirror that reflects
laser light in the room where a laser system is used. And the users of the
laser system and outsiders should avoid exposing their skin to protect
themselves from irradiation by laser light.
(3) Never give laser irradiation to areas other than specified.
(4) To output a laser in space for a laser output test, take steps so that any
person other than the persons concerned should keep off the workplace.
2. Surrounding safety measures（Safety guard）

To perform laser beam cutting, provide a safety guard of material susceptible to
-11-
LS-A-0285
absorbing laser beams like an acrylic plate around the cutting area.
Install interlocking switches on the doors of the safety guard and machining
room to assure the safety of personnel doubly.
3. Measures against fires

Laser beams have high thermal energy. Therefore, a fire may be caused when
flammable substances (such as paper, cloth, wood and flammable liquid) are
irradiated with laser beams, when reflected light from laser beams is radiated
and also by sparks from the workpiece during cutting.
(1) Remove inflammables from the area irradiated with laser beams.
(2) Install extinguishers permanently.
(3) When laser beams must be radiated for tests and others, use firebricks or
fire boards as an object to irradiate.
4. Measures when workpieces giving off toxic gases are machined
Laser beams are adaptable to the machining of all kinds of workpieces.

When cutting or piecing is performed by laser beams, some workpiece
materials removed by machining generate steam harmful to human body.
(1) To machine such materials, install an exhaust steam system capable of
discharging the steam sufficiently beforehand.
(2) Wear useful masks to maintain the health of personnel.
5. Measures for ventilation

The carbon dioxide laser oscillator uses He (helium), N2（nitrogen） and CO2
（carbon dioxide） as laser oscillating gases. A certain amount of these gases is
constantly supplied to stabilize laser oscillation, and also they are released into
the atmosphere through the vacuum pump. The He, N2 and CO2 gases are
decomposed by the energy of a glow discharge to give off toxic gases including
CO2 （carbon monoxide）, NOx（nitrogen oxides）. However, they do not exceed
control concentration including the welding control standards (WES-9007) under
normal service conditions.
Nevertheless, provide the workplace with good ventilation to make assurance
double sure.
6. Caution to high voltage

The locker of the carbon dioxide laser oscillator includes an area where high
-12-
LS-A-0285
voltage is applied.
(1) The area is normally protected by the door of the locker, and it is designed
to cut off power when the door is opened.
(2) When operations such as conditioning are performed, it should be noted
that AC200V of power supply is applied to the electric area of the system
even if the power is turned off by the actuation of the door interlock.
(3) Keep the door interlock switch from shifting with tape or the like for use.
(4) When the door interlock switch is forcedly release to perform operation for
maintenance, take due care not to touch high voltage areas.
(5) Take care not to pour water on the system accidentally.
7. Cautions in handling the half mirror, power monitor

mirror and focusing lens
The mirrors of the half mirror unit and power monitor unit and
the condenser used in the oscillator are made from ZnSe (zinc selenide). Since
the ZnSe comes under a poison in legal terms, handle them according to the
following items.
(1) Neither swallow the mirror nor bring it into direct contact with your skin.
(2) Do not discard into the fire.
(3) Do not soak in acids and alkali.
(4) Keep the lens in storage with key locked. This time, keep the lens away from
acids and alkali.
(5) To dispose of the mirrors, ask a particular waste-disposal dealer. When the
mirror is broken, collect it with care to the following items.
1) Wear gloves and a mask, and collect the fragments of the mirror into a
vinyl bag so as not to make a dust. After collection, wash hands, claws,
face and eyes thoroughly with soap and water.
2) Do not handle the fragments with bare hands.
3) Do not suck in dust including the fragments.
4) Should dust including the fragments get into your eyes, wash your eyes
with a large quantity of water at once, and consult a doctor without
delay.
5) If should swallow the fragments, drink a large quantity of water, and
consult a doctor without delay.

6-3 Gas-related cautions during installation
Caution
1、 It should be noted that gas leakage causes serious fires and/or
burns.
2、 A solenoid valve for cutting oxygen is designed to permit use of
an operating pressure of up to 0.1MPa. When a pressure more
than 0.1MPa is applied, leakage from and/or damage to the
solenoid valve may occur. Give attention to pressure setting.
3、 When the machine is not used for a long time, it may produce
mixed gas exceedingly prone to an explosion in its piping.
4、 Give a gas blow when using the machine after long shut down.
5、 Backfire may lead to serious accidents and fires.
6、 The causes of backfire include the following cases.
7、 The occurrence of a back flow may lead to fires and damage to
the system.
8、 Determine the cause, recheck the system and repair it before
use.
(1) Gas leakage checks

① Shut the initial valve.
② Set the gas supply pressure to the specified value （ refer to the
specification of gas pressure）.
③ Apply some soapy water not containing oil on the connections of the
initial valve to check for gas leakage.
④ Open the initial valve slowly.
⑤ Check for gas leakage at the connections between the initial valve and
the regulator.
⑥ Turn the adjusting handle clockwise by observing the pressure gauge,
and set the gas pressure of the regulator to the specified value.
⑦ Check for gas leakage at all the connections reaching the solenoid valve.
⑧ Apply some soapy water not containing oil on the connections of the
outlet of the solenoid valve to check for gas leakage.
※ When choosing a marking system and nitrogen cutting as an option, check for
gas leakage at working pressure.
-25-
LS-A-0285
(2) Gas blow

Blow gas in the cutting machine at the start and completion of cutting.
(3) Cause of backfire (when equipped with a powder-marking torch)

① When each gas pressure is not regulated.
② When the tip is heated.
③ When slag is flown at the hole in the tip.
④ When the tip tapered contact area and torch tapered contact areas are
damaged.
When backfire is caused, be sure to determine the cause. And use the
machine after taking corrective action.
(4) Back flow （when equipped with a powder-marking torch）

When hearing a hissing sound, take corrective action in the following sequence
at once.
① Shut the preheating oxygen valve.
② Shut the gas valve.

(5) Quick Piercing

Quick piercing is used for SS400 (black surface). The piercing hole
made by quick piercing becomes larger than the one made by HSQ
piercing (former piercing) and also increase amount of spatters because
it performs piercing such a short time.
Side blow nozzle is established near the laser nozzle and it blows away
the spatter at piercing.
This piercing enlarges the diameter of hole and increases the adhesion
of slag on bottom side of material. Therefore, in the case that the small
circle cutting and the processing from piercing to introduction for
products are short, please use former piercing.

the foundation at a pitch of 1m. Rail installation accuracy is one of the factors which
determine the longitudinal cutting accuracy. Therefore, its maintenance calls for
attention.
Precautions on Use:
1. Make it a rule to clean with oil cloth before starting operation in the morning
and after terminating operation in the evening in order to prevent corrosion
and dust buildup.
2. Do not put tools or other items on the rail.
3. Perform inspection of ground subsidence, rail straightness, adjuster fastening,
etc.
4. The rail and rack may be damaged when hit by a steel plate and others.
Should pay special care with it.
5. If an unexpected accident or ground subsidence, etc. occurs, re-alignment is
required to correct a kink or deflection of rails. Special tools are necessary for
re-alignment so that please contact Koike.

9.3 Main Roller
The main roller is regarded as an important factor which determines the longitudinal
accuracy and cutting quality. Entrance of dust or other foreign material into the
main roller causes serious damage so that dust should be removed with the scraper
or air blow.
In addition to that, maintenance of wheel unit but also maintenance of rail is
essential to protect the wheel from the damage. Inspection should be performed
periodically.
Precautions on Use:
1. At the beginning of each week, check the main roller for flaw or rust. Exchange
the roller when flaw or transformation is found.
2. At the beginning of each week, check the position of air blow nozzle.
3. The bearing of the main roller uses the grease of infection type. Fill up the
grease to proper quantity periodically.
Grease infection interval: Every 3 months
(Grease for heavy burden: Aporoilortoreccs J-2 (Idemitsu) or equivalent )
4. Exchange the main roller periodically.
Exchange interval: 7500 hrs.

9.4 Side Roller

The side roller is installed at the front and rear of the main-side saddle, and guides
the traveling of the cutting machine along the rails by sandwiching the main-side rail
on its sides by the rollers. In addition, the side roller assures the straightness of the
machine traveling, which exactly matches the installed straightness of rails. The
roller is one of the factors which determine the rail-directional accuracy and cutting
quality.
Precautions on Use:
1. At the beginning of each week, check the side rollers for damage, corrosion or
abnormal contact with the rail. If the side roller idles, adjustment is required in
the following procedure.
Adjustment Procedure:
1) The subsidiary-side side roller has been fixed at a right angle to the rail at the
time of shipment from the factory. Therefore, do not remove the
subsidiary-side side roller.
2) The adjustment-side side roller is adjusted so as to meet the rail width.
Adjustment must be performed by the side roller shaft (eccentric shaft). And,
all four side rollers are in right contact with the rail and each roller can be
turned lightly with hand (slip on the rail). The rail has a widthwise accuracy
so that check at several points over the entire range of rail and avoid
tightening the side roller too hard.
3) The side roller uses the grease filling type bearing. Please refill the grease to
the proper quantity periodically.
Grease refill interval: Every three months
(Grease for heavy burden: Aporoilortoreccs J-2 (Idemitsu) or equivalent )
4) Exchange the side roller periodically.

9.18 Main Hose and Cable Transportation Device

The device transports the hose of a fluid supply and electric cable in accordance with
the movement of the main body. If a cable bear does not move smoothly at the winding
part, a hose and cable receive an excessive stress, resulting damage to them. Therefore,
inspection should be performed regularly.
Precautions on Use:
1) Never get on a cable bear. There is a possible occurrence of falling down. Also,
never put anything on the cable bear and rail.
2) Specially, never get on the longitudinal cable bear and rail. Make sure to inform an
operator when crossing the cable bear and rail while the machine is working.
3) At the time of operations, such as connecting, installing and detaching the cable
bear, or even guaranteed inspection, make sure that the cable bear and parts are
fixed on the base so as not to they move freely. Be careful that the cable bear has a
possibility of free-running or falling down.
4) Never place hands at the inflection part of the cable bear.

5) Make sure to turn off the device in advance and never turn it on accidentally.
6) Follow the manual or the catalogue for machine operation.
7) Only skilled persons should handle the cable bear.

9.21 Optical Bellows

The external optical system is the optical path which leads the leaser beam
emitted from the laser oscillator to the focusing lens at the nozzle unit. The
external optical system is made up of a beam bending mirror box and bellows. As
shown in figure below, packing is fixed at bellows to avoid dust from outside.
Bellows are mounted at the entrance and exit of the box. The stretch bellows are
installed at both upper and lower sides of the nozzle unit and are given an air blow
to avoid a dust formation on the lens. Please perform maintenance periodically
according to the following description.
1)Maintenance of Optical Bellows
Dry air is constantly given in the internal bellows but not at their outside.
Accumulation of cutting dust shortens the service-life of bellows, thus give an air
blow at the outside of bellows periodically. In addition, check the bellows for
wearing, and hole and crack made by optical axis interference.
Daily: Check movement of bellows and roller
Every 3 months or 750 hrs: Check bellows and roller for wearing, and their
damage degree.
Every 6 months or 1500 hrs: Clean the internal bellows.
Every year or 3000 hrs: Check a damage degree.
Every 3 yrs or 10000 hrs: Exchange bellows

10. Inspection and Adjustment for the

External Optical System
(Laser oscillator TLF6000）
Be sure to read this manual and other supplementary document to understand their
contents before operating, inspecting and maintaining the machine.
10.1 Introduction
10.1.1 What is external optical system?
A laser cutting machine carries out cutting by leading the laser beam emitted
from the oscillator to the surface of material with mirrors and lens. The optical
system is the device which holds the mirrors and the lens and moves them to the
specified positions. Fig.1 shows a block diagram.
Unless the external optical system is kept under proper operating conditions,
normal cutting cannot be performed. Routinely check if the external optics is
working under the proper operating conditions. If any abnormality is found,
immediate correction is required according to this manual.
10.1.2 Caution before inspection and adjustment

CO2 laser beams cannot be seen directly by the human eye. Therefore, when
checking and adjusting the external optics, attention should be paid not to enter
your body in the laser beam path.
For adjustment by two or more workers only:
1) Before irradiating the laser beam, be sure to inform the co-worker by voice.
The co-worker should displace his body from the laser beam path and call out
“OK.” Laser oscillation is unallowable unless the “OK” signal is returned.
2) When working on the machine side, an unauthorized person must not touch
the operation panel which has the oscillation switch.
3) The materials, which may reflect the laser beam (such as gold, silver, copper,
aluminum and silver face-finished metals), must not be placed in the beam
path. (However, the target of adjustment jig is excluded.)
4) Workers must wear protective goggles during adjustment.
5) During adjustment, any person other than those in charge should not be
allowed to enter the adjustment room.
6) Before work, also read other precautions in the instruction manual,
specification book, etc. carefully.
Please pay due attention to operator safety during machine adjustment.

10.2.1 Measurement of Laser Power

Laser power should be measured once a week.
1) Remove the nozzle unit and focusing lens together with the holder (referring
to Section 7) and keep the helium-neon guide beam emitted.
2) Call a macro program, “POWER CHECH.MPF.”
3) Make sure so that the guide beam is in contact with the power probe at right
angles, and press the start button. Laser beam will be irradiated for 10 seconds.
While the laser beam is irradiated, move the power probe slowly so as to draw a
circle of about 20 mm in diameter.
* The power probe is sold by the option. Please contact our sales office.
-119-
LS-A-0285
10.2.2 Maintenance of Lens and Mirror

１） Maintenance of focusing lens
The focusing lens directly faces the material plate and it is apt to be
contaminated by spatter during the time of piercing. Therefore, the lens
should be cleaned daily.
２） Maintenance of mirror
This is required whenever conducting optical axis alignment.
10.2.3 Nozzle Damage and Eccentricity
Before operation, check the nozzle hole and its vicinity if there is free from
deformation. If any abnormality is found, the nozzle should be replaced with a
new one. Be sure to perform the inspection before night operation and
unattended automatic operation.
10.2.4 Optical Axis Alignment
Remove the focusing lens together with the holder, and attach the cycle-shaped
acrylic plate at the bottom side of target. At this time, air is being discharged. Do
not stop this air.
Call and execute a macro program, “BEAM ALIGN.MPF”
As shown in Fig. 6, two laser marks will be burned. The eccentricity between
them must be within 1 mm, and also the eccentricity between the target and
each laser mark must be within 1 mm. If they exceed 1 mm, the optical axis
needs to be aligned (see Section 3).
If any abnormality is found, check the lens for contamination and restore the
original status.
10.2.5 Cleaning of the Optical Path in the

External Optics System
To avoid a dust accumulation during operation, clean air is continuously fed into
the optical path. However, when the machine stops, clean air cannot be supplied,
accumulating dust in the optical path (inside of bellows, mirror block and pipes).
Entering of dust in the mirror and lens damages the machine so that cleaning of
the optical path should be performed regularly.
-120-
LS-A-0285
10.3.Optical Axis Alignment

Take the following steps for optical axis alignment. Fig. 1 and 2 show the
composition of a mirror, and Fig. 5 shows the way to mount a target.
(1)Mirror No.1
Detach the mirror No.1 together with the holder (for details, see Fig. 4), and
set a target at the point. Install an acrylic plate behind the block, and call
and execute the program for the laser irradiation,”BEAM ALIGN.MPF).”
Adjust the position of oscillator so that the laser beam irradiates the center
of target.
Note) The eccentricity between the center of beam and target must be 0.5
mm. or less. Please refer to Fig. 6 for the definition of eccentricity.
After adjustment, clean the Mirror No.1 and install it.
（Refer to Fig. 13 on the Section 6.3 for cleaning.）
(2) Mirror No.2～No.6
Detach the mirror No.2 together with the holder, and set a cross-target on it.
Adjust the angle of mirror to get irradiation at the center of a target (adjust
mirror No.3- No.6 in the same way)
However, the Mirror No. 4 and No.6 are both fixed on the base, thus those
mirrors cannot be adjusted. That is, when centers the reflected laser beam
on the mirror No.5, the mirror No.3 should be adjusted. And, when centers
the reflected laser beam on the mirror No.7, the mirror No.5 should be
adjusted.
Note) Eccentricity should be 0.5 mm or less.
(3) Mirror No.7
For the adjustment of the Mirror No. 7, detach the mirror No.8 and set a
target on it. Then, adjust the angle of the mirror so as to center the reflected
laser beam on the target. As adjusting bolts exists on the base of No.8
Mirror holder, adjust them at the center of long hole.
(4) Mirror No.8
Set an acrylic plate on the target. Move the top and down axes to the lower
limit, and call and execute a macro program, “O8055 (BEAM ALIGN-Z).”
Laser beam starts irradiating at both lower and upper limits. Adjust the
angle of the mirror No.8 with the micrometer heads (two places) so that the
irradiated beams on the acrylic plate are arranged in a concentric pattern.
Adjustment is required several times in order to get the concentric pattern.
Adjust the angle of the mirror No.8 so that the deviation of acrylic marks
becomes 0.2mm or less.
-121-
LS-A-0285
*The adjustment above greatly influences the cutting quality, thus make
sure to perform the adjustment correctly and get the concentric pattern at
any point.
(5)Centering of nozzle tip

Stick the sellotape (translucent scotch tape) to the nozzle tip and irradiate
one pulse of laser beam on the material. Call and execute a macro program,
“NOZZLE CENTER.MPF”
*The deviation of center from the nozzle hole should be 0.2mm or less by
visual check.
-122-
LS-A-0285
10.4 Focal Position Adjustment
(1) Remove a nozzle (keep a lens attached).

(2) Place a steel plate on the cutting table and then, put a transparent acrylic
block on it (steel plate should be approx. 300x300, 6 mm in thickness).
(3) Set a dry air for blowing (hair drier).
(4) Adjust the position of machine so that the focusing lens comes on the top of
the acrylic block.
(5) Call and execute a macro program,”FOCUS CHECH.MPF”
Note) When operation starts, the laser beam starts irradiating on the surface
of the acrylic plate. At the time, acrylic resin at the irradiated point
spatters straight up. To protect the focusing lens from spatter, give an air
blow at the right angle to the laser irradiating direction. If the spatter
adheres to the lens, clean it without delay.
(6) Repeat the step of (5).
(7) Check the holes on the acrylic block, and find the smallest and deepest hole
on the acrylic block, and determine its lens height. If you find several, get
the central point among them. The point becomes the focal position (See Fig.
9).
(8) Count holes from the one which made last to the one which is determined as
a focal point in (7), and divide the hole number by 2. Enter the result to the
NC unit (via MDI), and feed the Z axis.
Example) When hole count is 15:
15÷2＝7.5
Thus, feed the Z axis upward by 7.5 mm.
(10) Place the acrylic block under the nozzle, and turn an adjusting ring until the
clearance between the nozzle and acrylic block becomes 2.0 mm (use the
nozzle height jig).
Note) At this time, do not move the up and down axes.
This is the focal position, 0 mm.

LS-A-0285
10.5 Sampling of Burn

Pattern
If normal cutting cannot be executed though optical axis, mirror and lens are in
good condition, collect the sample burn patterns at the following two points.
Then, confirm the shape of beam mode.
10.5.1 Mode under Torch
1) Detach nozzle unit and focusing lens together with holder (see Section 7), and
keep the helium-neon guide beam emitted. At this time, never stop air blowing to
the lens.
2) Set the steel plate on the cutting table and place a transparent acrylic block on
it (steel plate should be approx. 300x300, 6mm in thickness).
3) Set the position of acrylic block so that the guide beam irradiates on it.
4) Call a macro program, “MODE CHECK．MPF,” and press the start button
while blowing air from the side of acrylic block.
5) Laser beam is irradiated for three seconds.
6) Make sure to blow an acrylic gas enough otherwise a fire may be caused. If a
fire is caused, do not panic and extinct it at once. After that, set a new block and
redo it one more time.
10.5.2 Sampling of Direct Mode from the Laser Power Supply

1) Detach the mirror No.1 together with holder (detach the mirror by loosening
four bolts shown in Fig. 4).
2) Set a screen (steel plate or nonflammable slate) at 7.8m (*1) from the laser
power supply.
3) Emit the helium-neon guide beam, and set the acrylic block so that the guide
beam irradiates on it.
4) Call a macro program, “MODE CHECK.MPF,” and press the start button
while blowing air from the side of acrylic block.
Note) Make sure to provide good ventilation since a large quantity of acrylic gas
is emitted. When acrylic gas enters in the beam path, purge the air enough and
redo it. If the beam path is filled with acrylic gas, the beam shape is distorted.
Such a mode shape is unacceptable.
If the sample of burn pattern is nearly the same to the one given at the time of
delivery, it is normal. If not, the internal optics system on the laser power supply
needs to be adjusted. Please contact KOIKE.
*1 : Distance between the exit of laser power supply and a focusing lens.

10.6 Handling of Optical Parts
10.6.1 Cautions in general

Optical parts are very delicate products. Read the following descriptions and
handle them with due care.
1) Use fingerstalls or gloves for handling.

2) Do not touch the surface directly.
Coating is applied on the surface. Avoid touching them with anything other
than cleaning paper. When holding them, only the side faces can be touched.
3) Attention to moisture.
Moisture is not good for coating. It may be affected even by spittle during
conversation, thus handle them with due care.
4) Attention to storage.
Optical parts should be stored in a sealed container with a desiccant in it.
10.6.2 Cautions on Handling of Lens

The mirror and focusing lens on the half mirror unit and the power monitor unit
in the oscillator consist of ZnSe (zinc selenide）. Since the mirror and focusing
lens include the “Se,” they are designated as a poison under the Poisonous and
Deleterious Substances Control Law. Therefore, follow the descriptions below.
(1) Neither swallow the mirror nor bring it into direct contact with your skin.
(2) Do not discard into the fire.
(3) Do not soak in acids and alkali.
(4) Keep the lens in storage with key locked. At the time, keep the lens away
from acids and alkali.
(5) To dispose of the mirrors, ask a particular waste-disposal dealer. When the
mirror is broken, collect it with care to the following items.
1) Wear gloves and a mask, and collect the fragments of the mirror into a
vinyl bag so as not to make a dust. After collection, wash hands, claws,
face and eyes thoroughly with soap and water.
2) Do not handle the fragment with bare hands.
3) Do not suck in dust including the fragments.
4) Should dust including the fragments get into your eyes, wash your eyes
with a large quantity of water at once, and consult a doctor without
delay. If should swallow the fragments, drink a large quantity of water,
and consult a doctor without delay.
-125-
LS-A-0285
10.6.3 Optical Parts Cleaning

Read the following cautions and handle the optical parts, such as bending mirror,
lens, etc., with due care.
(1) Blow off dust or other

contaminants by using the blower
of camera. If the optical parts are
wiped with dust sticking on their
surface, they will get scratch.
Make sure to clean both sides of
lens.
(2) Use a special cleaning kit. When

use the cleaning paper, hold it in
handy size and soak it with
acetone, and wipe the optical
parts like drawing a whirlpool
from inside toward outside while
caring not touching them
directly, or preventing them from
moisture, such as breath or
spittle. At last, whip off acetone
lightly by drawing a whirlpool
again without stopping to the
edge.
(3) Blow the surface with the blower

again.
If the contaminants still remain
after the cleaning, replace lens or
bending mirror with new ones.

LS-A-0285
10.7 Disassembly and Adjustment
10.7.1 Adjustment of Mirror Angle (Fig. 4)

Fig. 4 shows the mirror holder. The micrometer head “A” is adjusted when the
beam is turned to the Y-direction and the micrometer head “B” is adjusted when
the beam is turned to the X-direction in figure. For instance, when turn the beam
by 1 mm at the distance of one meter from the mirror (in case of 3 meter, it
becomes 3 mm), turn the micrometer head for approx. 3 graduations (one
rotation is 50 graduations).
10.7.2 How to replace the lens

Assembling procedure of lens unit
1) Insert an O-ring (601) into the
unit of main body (101).
・ At the time, check if the O-ring is
free from deformation or wear.
・ Insert the O-ring (601) carefully so
as no to protrude from the unit. If
it does, apply a small amount of
silicon grease on the O-ring.
2) Set the lens and fix the holder
(102) slowly with special tools.
・ Do not touch the lens with hands
directly.
・ Set the lens’ spherical surface up.
The side which reflects the object
small is the spherical surface.
3) After inserting the lens unit, fix it
with a holding bolt.

13. Laser Cutting Parameter Sheet
Be sure to read this instruction manual and supplementary documents carefully

before operating, inspecting and maintaining the machine.
About Laser Cutting

Before cutting material, each cutting data must be set correctly. A reference data
is described in this data table, but cutting speed, laser output, etc. should be
adjusted in accordance with performance accuracy and material quality. If
material inclines after the completion of cutting, the laser beam may damage the
material.
1) Thickness of cutting sheet

・ SS400(black surface) t3.2～25 ㎜（LS mild steel ：28mm）
・ SUS304(nitrogen) t1.5～16mm (Option)
2) Classification of Assist Gas

・ SS400 Oxygen regulator Working pressure 0.6Mpa(6.0 ㎏/㎝²)
Set the working pressure when the assist gas is closed.
・ SUS304 Nitrogen assist gas
Set the pressure according to the data table.
3) Focal Point
To adjust the focal position (±0), refer to “Inspection and adjustment for the
external optical system.”

4) Corner Accuracy
Corner is rounded by the function of the
NC servo system, and radius of corner is
determined by cutting speed. Corner “R”
Corner accuracy is calculated by the

formula below. Since it is affected by
h
cutting speed, a suitable cutting speed
should be selected according to the
required accuracy.
