MF-C2000A Series
Explanation of Terminology
Fixed waveform
Laser output method by this laser. This is called FIX. Laser light with a fixed waveform by up to
3 divisions in the case where output time and the output value of each point are set in the range
of the first laser and the third laser. → P.106
FLEX
Flexible waveform of pulse oscillation that is a laser light output means to be used by this laser.
Laser light with a flexible waveform in the case where output time and the output value of each
point are set in the range of POINT 01 and POINT 20. → P.109
Flexible waveform
Laser light output method of this laser. This is called FLEX or CW. Laser light with a flexible
waveform in the case where output time and the output value of each point are set in the range of
POINT 01 and POINT 20. → P.109
Full duplex
Communication system in which data can be send and received simultaneously from both sides
in two-way communication. The data transfer system of this laser is an asynchronous full duplex
system. → P.155
G
Grounding
Electrical connection between an electric device and the ground. This is also called earth or
ground.
Grounding work
Specified in Article 18 "Interpretation of Technical Standard of Electric Equipment." The
grounding work for device connected to a low-voltage circuit of 300 V or less is performed in
compliance with class D, and that of more than 300 V is performed in compliance with class C.
→ P.45
Guide light
Auxiliary light to check the laser light irradiating position and make a positional adjustment. Light
with a wavelength of 380 nm to 780 nm that can be seen by man. This is also called visible laser.
In this laser, diode laser for guide light is output. → P.81
H
Harmonic Waveform having 3 to 40 times of frequency of the basic frequency (50/60 Hz). → P.51
I
Input unit Unit to transmit laser light to the optical fiber. → P.24
Interlock
Circuit to prevent hazards, which stops the machine operation when a material comes close to a
place where a hazardous unit or equipment is provided.
L
L
Line terminal. This is a terminal to be connected to a line conductor of the external circuit. Ab-
breviation of Live. → P.51
Laser
LASER is an abbreviation of Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, which is
light artificially generated by laser oscillator. Laser is classified into solid laser, liquid laser, and
gas laser by medium.
Laser light
Light artificially generated by laser oscillator. This laser light is widely used for electronic devices,
optical communication, medial treatment, metal working, and other fields. As a matter of feature,
laser light goes straight, its wavelength is fixed and the phase (wave peak and hollow) is the
same, so high energy can be obtained by concentrating light to one point.
Laser safety supervisor
Person who is responsible for laser safety management, having an enough knowledge to execute
laser hazard assessment and safety management. For the facilities or places where a laser
product exceeding Class 3B in JIS C 6802 "Safety Standards for Laser Products", it is necessary
to appoint a laser safety supervisor and provide a management area. Since most laser welder
comes under class 4 of the highest hazard, the laser safety supervisor must be appointed. → P.10
LD General term for diode laser and FC-LD.
LD chip Semiconductor laser device.
