1.5 Operating Environment and Safety
Laser safety class
Class 2
Class 4 with pass through option
Wavelength of the laser radiation
10.6 µm
Ambient room temperature
Humidity
MUST be between 15 and 25°C (59 and 77°F);
40% - 70%, not condensing
Follow the local laws and regulations regarding operation of laser machines.
It is important that the machine is installed in an appropriate operating environment. This will reduce
the risk of possible downtime plus increase performance and quality of output.
Operating outside of this temperature range can have a detrimental effect to the working life and/or
performance of the system, particularly the laser tube. If transporting the laser system from a very
cold or very hot environment to the proper operating environment, the laser system must not be
turned on before it has adjusted to the temperature conditions. Therefore, once the system has
been moved to the desired area it must be allowed to stand for
24 hours
before use. Rapid
changes of temperature during operation can risk condensation forming within the laser tube and/or
electronics and increases the potential risk of electronic failure.
These guidelines must be followed to ensure a proper operating environment for the laser system.
Although conforming to these guidelines will greatly reduce the chance of a problem occurring, it
does not guarantee it.
It is your responsibility to provide a proper operating environment.
•
Dusty or dirty air environments can damage the laser system. Keep the laser system isolated
from any type of sandblasting, sanding equipment, or any other machinery or processes that
produce airborne particles.
•
Avoid small, enclosed, non-ventilated areas. Some materials, after laser engraving or cutting,
continue emitting fumes for several minutes after processing. Having these materials present in
a confined, unventilated room can contaminate the room.
We recommend installing the laser system on a concrete floor. The floor underneath the laser
system should be flat within 3mm from wheel to wheel. An uneven surface may cause a twisting of
the main enclosure. This can cause motion system binding as well as engraving problems.
