  Mounting Holes 

The mounting holes size and position of the BM111 laser

 

cutting head are shown in Figure 3.1, 

which  can be used  to  fix  the  laser  head  and  machine tool.  We  strongly recommend  customers  to 

install the laser head perpendicular to the process material surface as requested and make sure the 

laser head is locked, this is one of the preconditions to ensure the follow-up stable cutting effect. 

Note: 

The Z-axis motor slide plate for fixing the laser cutting head should be connected with 

machine tools and make sure there is a good grounding.

Water-cooled interface 

BM111 laser cutting head has 2 sets of water-cooled channels, the direction of water entry and 

exit can be arranged arbitrarily. It is important to note that when the laser power is greater than 500 
watt, we recommend users to use water-cooled. As you can see from Figure 3.2, the position and 
quantity of the water interfaces, and the table below details the recommended water flow rate. 

The design of this water-cooled interface is closed loop water-cooled system, and it also can be
