Shutter
– This button allows laser light to be emitted from the lens. For the
marking process to take place, this button must be depressed. When the shutter is
open, this button will also be illuminated in RED. Anytime the laser is enabled, the
button is depressed, and the door is closed; this light will be ON. When the door
is opened, the light will go out and the shutter will close as a protective measure.
This action is controlled by safety interlock switches built into the system to
ensure safe operation. When utilizing “Easy Mode”, it is not necessary to manually
depress the start button. In “Easy Mode” operation, the shutter will automatically
open regardless of the shutter button position.
•
Start/Stop
– These buttons start or stop the laser marking process while in
“Manual” or “Easy-Mode” on the system.
•
Focal Height
– This controls the level of the T-Slot tool base to focus the laser
on your parts. This function will not work in “Easy Mode” which helps to prevent
accidental changing of the focal height during large part runs.
If you purchased a Minilase™ MANUAL, this button is not included on your system.
You will adjust the focal height using the manual control on the right front side of
the Minilase™ system.
•
Door Open/Close
– The top white button opens the door and must be held down
to open the door completely. The bottom black button closes the door and must
be held down to close the door completely. These functions will not work in
“Easy Mode”.
If you purchased a Minilase™ Manual, this button is not included on your system.
You will manually open and close the door using the front handle. The door
system is designed to remain open when fully extended upward. To close
the door, simply pull the handle downward and the door will release from its
upright position.
•
E-Stop
– Emergency Stop shuts down the system in case of an emergency. If the
E-Stop is pressed, the door will open approximately 2-3 inches and the laser will
be disabled. To disengage the E-Stop, pull up on the red E-Stop Control Button.
If you purchased a Minilase™ MANUAL, this button is not included on your system.
