This laser can output single laser light to multiple optical fibers or to a single
optical fiber by the functions of the built-in beamsplitter and timesharing unit .
This section explains the sharing specifications of this laser.
Laser Light Sharing
The laser light sharing specification is divided into powersharing and timesharing.
At powersharing, laser light is split into multiple beams by beamsplitter and then
transfer them to multiple optical fibers to perform welding at multiple points at the
same time. Since laser light is split into multiple beams, the respective laser outputs
become weak.
At timesharing, a single laser light reflected on the mirror of the timesharing unit is
transferred to a single optical fiber to perform welding. A selected safety shutter is
opened, so that laser light is output as 100% energy without being split.
The ML-3030AS/3015AS main unit is provided with a safety shutter with opening/
closing sensor and a timesharing unit according to the sharing specification. At deliv -
ery, the number of deliveries is initially set.
For this laser, the following 3 types of sharing specification are available.

In the above timesharing, as soon as the safety shutters are opened by setting
"BEAM 1" to "BEAM 2" to ON after pressing the "BEAM" setting button, the timeshar-
ing unit is automatically operated to split laser light.
Single
A single safety shutter is opened to output laser light only to a single optical fiber.
⇒
For ML-30□□AS-110, it has no safety shutter and no beamsplitter. Therefore, op -
eration is different.
Laser light is reflected on the beamsplitter
and transferred from opened safety shutter 1.
The timesharing unit is not installed.
