Installation
Transport
The information in this section must be followed when the machine is in one of the transport phases below:
Equipment storage;
Initial installation;
Relocation;
The machine is normally supplied complete with special packaging that allows for easy transport and handling.
In the event the aforementioned packaging has not been provided, the machine must be moved using a forklift capable of lifting the machine
mass (refer to the plate located on the machine), with the lifting forks positioned under the plate at the base of the device. Secure the machine
to the lifting forks and ensure that it is perfectly balanced before lifting.
The crates should be moved using the lifting equipment taking the proper precautions and strictly observing the sense of direction
indicated on the packaging. Please take normal and logical precautions to avoid collisions and overturning.
When storing the welding machine in its packaging, do not tilt it, place it in the upright position or turn it upside down. Doing so may
cause the coolant to spill out.
Protect the device and any accessory equipment from the elements. Water and moisture can oxidize some parts of the device,
causing irreversible damage.
Unpacking
After removing the packaging, check to ensure that the machine is complete and that there are no missing or damaged parts. If in doubt
DO
NOT USE THE DEVICE
, and please contact the manufacturer.
Please keep all packaging materials for future use
Positioning
The device should be positioned in a location and environment suited to the use for which it was designed (laboratory use sheltered from the
weather); such positioning should be performed by qualified personnel.
Acceptable temperatures
from + 10 °C to + 40 °C
Acceptable relative humidity
from 30% to 80%
Maximum height above sea level
2000 m
When positioning the laser welding machine, please take the following recommendations into consideration:
Position the device on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the base of the machine in all directions. Position the device so that
there is more than 10 cm between the back of the machine and the wall.
Leave enough space around the welder to permit adequate ventilation.
Do not position the machine in places subject to rapid changes in temperature and humidity. Keep the device away from direct
sunlight, strong light or heat sources.
Do not position the welding machine near appliances that produce moisture, dust or heat (sanders, vaporizers, EDMs, ovens etc.).
Position the device no farther than 1.5 m from an electrical outlet.
Preliminary checks
The device is delivered with liquid inside the cooling circuit. During the winter months the liquid is not placed inside the machine, rather a rinse is
made with a 20% alcohol solution for the inspection. In this case a container of liquid coolant (deionized water) is placed in the package with an
attached note.
In this case it is necessary to:
run two rinses in the following manner: fill the tank half full with the supplied liquid (with the machine off), turn the machine on and
the "on" button under the option H2O (Options > H2O), wait one minute and then drain the tank.
Fill the tank completely with the machine turned off.
