3 . Functions of the ML-3030AS/3015AS
⇒
Fiber laser oscillator
■
The laser is capable of processing workpieces under a small spot diameter.
■
The single laser provides CW and pulse output.
■
The laser employs an LD excitation system, which significantly reduces the
number of required maintenance operations.
■
The laser provides high energy efficiency for lower power consumption.
⇒
Laser power feedback control and optional waveform control functions
■
The Laser can handle a wide variety of workpieces. Up to 256 different set -
tings for weld schedules using waveform control are available.
■
High-repetition laser output (1000 pps max.) supports high-speed seam weld-
ing.
■
The welding schedule can be momentarily switched. This permits high-speed
and high-quality welding.
■
For seam welding, output can be set to fade in at the start and fade out at the
end also to smooth overlaps at both ends of the weld.
■
Up to 2 deliveries of laser output, including powersharing and timesharing, are
available. (The powersharing or timesharing specification is option.)
■
Powersharing permits obtaining uniform outputs for each delivery without
energy loss.
■
Various kinds of processing can be done with the modulation function.
■
The isolation function (option) protects the oscillator from light reflected from
the processing point.
⇒
Simple operations and maintenance
■
Fully air-cooled. No coolant or coolant filters needed.
■
Remote control is available using the optional Laser Controller.
■
A welding schedule is input from the large-shaped touch panel type color dis-
play. Accordingly, operations can be easily and accurately performed.
■
Language displayed on the Laser Controller can be switched between Japa -
nese and English.
■
A variety of input and output signals allow the Laser to be connected to auto-
matic machines.
■
Both the laser energy (J) and its mean power (W) are monitored. If the desired
energy range has been preset and the laser energy is out of the range, the
trouble signal is output. This function is provided for quality control purposes.
■
Optical fiber detection is available to check fiber connection.
■
Using the external communication function permits managing data such as
welding schedules and monitor values in centralized form.
⇒
The factory environment can be improved by space saving.
■
The laser power supply, oscillator, and cooler are integrated into a single piece
for easy transport and installation of the Laser.
⇒ The Laser conforms to the following standards.
Certified to be in compliance with CDRH Standards Part 1040 Sec. 1040.10 “Ra -
diation safety standards for laser equipment”
In compliance with IEC Standards IEC60825-1 “Safety of laser products Part1:
Equipment Classifications, requirements and use’s guide”
