2 SAFETY
This chapter describes precautions to be observed to ensure the safeoperation of the laser oscillator.
Read this chapter thoroughly before attempting to use the laser oscillator.Also, read the safety precautions in the operator’s manual supplied by themachine tool builder.
The laser oscillator may present a danger not only to the operator but alsoto other people working around the oscillator, up to a considerabledistance away. The laser oscillator must, therefore, be operated only bya person who has received appropriate training.
Warning labels are attached to the dangerous portions on the laseroscillator. Pay particular attention to the labeled portions.
B--70125EN/03 2. SAFETY

(1) It is extremely dangerous to expose your eyes to direct, scattered, orreflected CO2 laser light. Always wear protective glasses while thelaser is operating.Exposure to laser light can cause blindness. If your eyes areaccidentally exposed, seek medical advice immediately.
(2) Do not turn on the laser oscillator while a panel is removed or a dooris open.Operating the laser with a door open or panel removed may result inthe operator being directly exposed to CO2 laser radiation. Exposureto laser light can cause blindness and/or severe burns. If your eyesare accidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical adviceimmediately.When the laser oscillator must be turned on as part of maintenancework, wear protective glasses and protective clothes to ensure safety.
(3) If the laser oscillator is operated while the panel or door of the laseroscillator is open, ultraviolet light will be emitted from thehigh--frequency discharge section. Staring at the discharge sectionfor a long time is likely to damage the user’s eyesight. Always wearprotective glasses when operating the laser oscillator. If you senseany eye irritation, seek medical advice immediately.
(4) Surround the laser machining tool with a fence made of a materialwhich absorbs laser light well (such as acrylic). Place appropriatewarning notices on the fence.The door in the safety fence shall be fitted with an interlock switchsuch that opening the door stops the laser.Failure to provide such a fence exposes persons in the vicinity of themachine tool to the danger of being exposed to CO2 laser radiationand the associated risk of blindness. If a person is accidentallyexposed to laser light, seek medical advice immediately.
(5) The laser beam shall be no higher than average eye height. Enclosethe path of the laser beam with covers. Do not leave the end of thebeam path open. Place laser-- absorbing material at the end of thebeam path to absorb the beam’s energy.A CO2 laser beam is directional and has a high energy density.Exposure to laser light can cause blindness. Flammable material mayburn or explode if exposed to the laser beam. If your eyes areaccidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical advice immediately.
(6) High voltages of 3 to 4 kVO--P exist within the laser oscillatorhousing. Do not turn on the laser oscillator while a panel is removedor a door is open.Operating the laser with a door open or panel removed subjects theoperator to the danger of electric shock.When the laser oscillator must be turned on as part of maintenancework, wear protective glasses and protective clothes to ensure safety.
2.1WARNING
B--70125EN/032. SAFETY

(7) Before daily inspection or the replacement of a maintenance part,open the main circuit breaker and turn the power supply off (doublepower--off).To prevent the power from being inadvertently turned on, lock thecircuit breaker open, and affix an indication of work in progress.Failure to turn off the power during inspection or replacementexposes the operator to the danger of electric shock.When the laser oscillator must be turned on as part of maintenancework, wear protective glasses and protective clothes to ensure safety.
(8) The oscillator output mirror and focusing lens on the machining headboth have a substrate made of ZnSe (zinc selenide), a toxic substance.Therefore, do not touch the mirror or lens with your bare hands.Inhaling ZnSe dust may cause difficulty in breathing, completelystopping the breathing of the victim in the worst case.If you accidentally touch the mirror or lens with your bare hands,wash your hands well under running water.If you accidentally inhale ZnSe dust or debris, seek medical adviceimmediately.
(9) Do not look at the machining point without eye protection.Otherwise, your eyes may be exposed to reflected laser light,resulting in blindness. If your eyes are accidentally exposed to laserlight, seek medical advice immediately.
(10) Before attempting to machine any material for the first time, consultwith the manufacturer of the material.Some materials generate toxic gases when cut or drilled by a laserbeam.Should you accidentally inhale any toxic gas, seek medical adviceimmediately.
(11) If the laser oscillator must be moved, entrust the work to the machinetool builder whenever possible. If performed by inexperiencedpersonnel, the oscillator may topple or be dropped, resulting in apotentially fatal accident.When the machine tool builder is not available to move the oscillator,follow the procedure described on the hanging method label. Whilemoving the oscillator, stand well clear and never pass under theoscillator.
(12) If there is a possibility of being exposed to CO2 laser radiationexceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level for skin,wear protective clothing. Otherwise, there is a danger of being burnt.
(13) The FANUC LASER C series is fitted with a red semiconductor laserto indicate the approximate position of invisible CO2 laser beam. Donot look directly at the semiconductor laser beam. Otherwise, youreyes may be injured.
(14) The gas circulating system in the oscillator becomes very hot.Do not touch the gas pipes, turbo blower, heat exchanger, or exhaustpump, until they have cooled down sufficiently after the oscillatorhas been turned off. Otherwise, you may be burnt.
(15) The workpiece becomes very hot during machining. Never touch theworkpiece with your bare hands. Otherwise, you may be burnt.

(16) During machining, extremely hot chips are likely to be generated.Unless sufficient caution is exercised, there is a danger of the operatorbeing burnt, or of a fire being started.
(17) Some materials may burn or explode when laser machined. Beforeattempting to machine any material for the first time, consult with themanufacturer of the material, to prevent the danger of fire of or thepossibility of operator injury.
(18) The oscillator contains cooling fan units. Although the fan units arefitted with a finger guard, to prevent injury, keep your hands wellaway from the fans.

(1)The laser oscillator is controlled according to the values set in internalparameters of the CNC. If the laser oscillator is operated using valuesother than those set in the parameters, the laser oscillator willmalfunction. In the worst case, the laser oscillator can be damaged.
(1)During installation or maintenance necessitating the opening of anoscillator door or the removal of a panel, only persons who haveundergone maintenance training should operate the laser. In such acase, extreme caution must be exercised.
(2)Warning labels are affixed to those parts of the oscillator where thereis a danger of exposure to laser radiation. Observe the precautionsgiven on the labels. (Sec. 2.4 shows the warning labels.)
(3)Laser products shall conform to the regulations laid down in the lasersafety standard, including that stipulating control using a key.The oscillator start signal (RUN) shall be controlled with a key switchsuch that the oscillator cannot be turned on without a specific key.Control using a key ensures that other than the authorized personnelcannot operate the laser oscillator. It is extremely dangerous if aperson who is unfamiliar with the equipment attempts to operate thelaser oscillator.
(4)The shutter shall be unlocked only while a beam is being output.Otherwise, keep the shutter locked to provide protection should thelaser accidentally be turned on.
(5)Do not discard a used output mirror or focusing lens together withregular waste. If the output mirror or focusing lens is replaced, returnthe original to the supplier or entrust it to a specialized disposalcompany.
(6)Do not place any flammable material (such as paper, cloth, or wood)near the workpiece table.
(7)Keep a fire extinguisher beside the unit.(8)The FANUC LASER C series is equipped with an alarm lamp. The

Fig. 3.1 (a) to (g) show the block diagram of the laser oscillator.The FANUC LASER C series consists of a laser resonator, laser excitationpower supply, forced gas circulating system, pressure controller, exhaustcontroller, CNC interface, and a protective housing.
(1)Laser resonatorThe laser resonator consists of several discharge tubes, connected inseries using folding mirrors, with a rear mirror and output mirrorplaced at the open ends of the discharge tubes, thus sealing the tubes.The resonator is fitted with a gas pipe connecting port through whichlaser gas is fed into the discharge tubes.A discharge from the electrodes of the discharge tube energizes CO2molecules, which emit light. This light is amplified by stimulatedemission, repeated between the rear mirror and output mirror, a laserbeam being emitted from the output mirror.
(2)Laser excitation power supplyThis is a 2--MHz high--frequency power supply, the output of whichis controlled by the CNC. This power supply is used to create adischarge in the laser gas flowing through the discharge tubes, thusenergizing CO2 molecules.
(3)Forced gas circulating systemA gas circulating system is configured by connecting the resonator andturbo blower with a circulating pipe. Laser gas is forced through thedischarge tubes at a speed of 200 m/s or higher.A water--cooled heat exchanger, used to cool the high--temperature gasfrom the discharge tubes, is provided at the inlet side of the turboblower. At the outlet side of the turbo blower, another water--cooledheat exchanger dissipates the compression heat.
(4)Pressure controllerThe laser gas pressure within the forced gas circulating system iscontrolled by commands issued from the CNC, thus ensuring stablelaser output.
(5)Exhaust controllerThe laser gas flow is controlled by commands issued from the CNC.
(6)CNC interfaceInterface used to connect a FANUC Series 0--L, 16--L, or 16i--L. CNCcommands that, control the operation of the laser oscillator, such asstart/stop and laser output, are input via this interface.
(7)Protective housingAn enclosure that houses the above components. The housing,consisting of metal panels and doors, completely encloses the laseroscillator, thus protecting the operator from exposure to laser radiationand from high voltages. All panels are screw--fixed and cannot beremoved without an appropriate tool. The doors are also designed toprevent an accident from occurring as a result of careless operation.The doors can be opened only when the main circuit breaker is open.A door interlock function is also supported.

The following describes the details of each component of the FANUCLASER C series. Fig. 3.2 (a) to (l) show the internal structure.
(1) ResonatorThe resonator consists of an output mirror, rear mirror, foldingmirrors, discharge tubes, power sensor unit, etc. It converts electricalenergy first to laser gas, then to optical energy (10.6--�msingle--wavelength laser beam).
(2) Output mirrorA transmitting/reflecting mirror which outputs the laser beam afterit has been amplified. The output mirror consists of a ZnSe (zincselenide) substrate, coated with dielectric. ZnSe is tightly toxic. Beparticularly careful, therefore, when handling the output mirror.
(3) Rear mirrorA reflecting mirror consisting of a Ge (germanium) substrate, coatedwith dielectric. Having a high reflectance of 99.5%, the rear mirroris used to reflect the laser beam within the resonator whiletransmitting 0.5% of the laser light so that the beam can be monitoredexternally.
(4) Folding mirrorThe folding mirror, consisting of a 45° block and a gold--coated Si(silicon) substrate, is used to divert the laser beam through 90°. Italso linearly polarizes the laser beam.
(5) Discharge tubeA pair of Ag (silver) electrodes are metallized on the surface of ahollow quartz glass pipe. A high--frequency discharge between theseelectrodes injects electrical energy into the laser gas. Each electrodeis coated with ceramic, preventing it from degrading and thusimproving system reliability.
(6) Power sensorAn optical sensor which detects the intensity of the laser beam,transmitted through the rear mirror, thus enabling monitoring of thelaser output level.
(7) Gas circulating systemA gas circulating path including a turbo blower, heat exchangers, andcirculating pipes, which supplies and exhausts laser gas to and fromthe discharge tubes at high speed.
(8) Turbo blowerDuring laser oscillation, the laser gas pressure is 100 to 700 (1330 to9310 Pa) when DGN. The turbo blower circulates thisrough--vacuum gas at high speed (up to 200 m/s within the dischargetubes) without contaminating the gas.
(9) Heat exchanger (inlet)Heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated bydischarge, before it is drawn into the turbo blower.
(10) Heat exchanger (outlet)Heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated bycompression in the turbo blower, before being forced into thedischarge tubes.
3.2COMPONENTDETAILS
B--70125EN/03 3. INTERNAL STRUCTURE

(11) Pressure controllerThis unit constantly monitors the gas pressure in the discharge tubesand supplies fresh laser gas to the gas circulating system, thusmaintaining a constant pressure in the discharge tubes. This unit alsomonitors the laser gas supply state and the purging state in the gascirculating system.
(12) Exhaust pump unitThis unit is used to vacuum--exhaust laser gas from the gascirculating system such that its pressure falls to that used for laseroscillation. Also, within this unit, a small amount of circulating gasis constantly being exchanged, to prevent degradation of thecirculating gas.
(13) Exhaust controllerThe exhaust controller controls the flow rate of the laser gasexhausted by the exhaust pump unit. It adjusts the gas flow rate fromthat used for gas exchange to that used for pressure control. In theevent of a power failure, the exhaust controller immediately returnsthe exhaust pump unit to atmospheric pressure, thus protecting thepump.
(14) Exhaust system filterThe exhaust system filter is used to remove oil mist from the exhaustpump to prevent contamination of the gas circulating system andoptical parts. The C1500B, C2000B, C2000C, C3000C, C3000D,and C4000A do not have this filter.
(15) Hour meterThe hour meter indicates the total number of hours that the laseroscillator has operated (how many hours the exhaust pump hasoperated), to indicate whether maintenance or inspection isnecessary.
(16) Shutter sectionThe shutter section consists of a shutter, beam absorber, shuttercooling fan, etc., and is used to prevent output of the laser beamduring laser oscillation. While the shutter is closed, the laser beamis reflected by the shutter then absorbed by the beam absorber. Forsafety, the shutter is fitted with a photoelectric limit switch whichallows the system to monitor whether the shutter is open or closed.
(17) ShutterThe shutter consists of a gold--coated reflecting mirror, mounted onthe rotating arm of a rotary solenoid. The shutter can be opened andclosed instantaneously by issuing a CNC command. For safety, theshutter is equipped with a temperature sensor which allows thesystem to monitor the temperature of the shutter.
(18) Beam absorberWhile the laser oscillator is operating with the shutter closed, thelaser beam is guided into the beam absorber. The beam absorberabsorbs nearly 100% of laser beam and is water--cooled, allowing itto safely absorb the beam for relatively long periods. For safety, thebeam absorber is equipped with a temperature sensor which allowsthe system to monitor the temperature of the beam absorber.

(19) Water distribution unitThis unit distributes cooling water, supplied from either a chiller unitor a temperature--regulated external water supply, to each unit in thelaser oscillator. For safety, the water distribution unit is equippedwith a flow sensor which allows the system to monitor the flow rateof the
(20) Laser power supply unitThis unit rectifies and smooths the 3--phase 200/220--V AC input,then supplies DC power to the RF inverter by controlling the PWMDC--DC converter, as directed by commands received from the CNC.The RF inverter converts DC power to 3 to 4 kVPO--P high--frequency(2 MHz) power, then outputs it to the matching box.
(21) Matching boxThe matching box contains a matching circuit, consisting of coils andcapacitors, which ensures that power is effectively input to thedischarge tubes. The matching box is connected to the laser powersupply unit via either a high--voltage cable or coaxial cable.
(22) Beam folding unitThis unit reverses the direction of the laser beam in the oscillator.Two zero--shift mirrors are used to ensure that the polarization of thelight remains constant. The C3000C employs a circular polarizationmirror as upper one, such that a circularly polarized beam isproduced.
(23) Relay PCB AThis PCB transmits signals output by the pressure control unit, suchas those from the pressure sensor, pressure control valve, andpressure switch, to the interface PCB.
(24) Relay PCB BThis PCB transmits signals output by the shutter section, such asthose from the limit switch, absorber temperature sensor, powersensor, and condensation sensor, to the interface PCB.
(25) Input unitThe input unit consists of an interface PCB, stabilized power supply,and power magnetics cabinet. It transfers signals between the laseroscillator and CNC, and supply power to each unit.
(26) Interface PCBFS0--L: Transfer analog, digital input (DI), and digital output
(DO) signals to and from the CNC (parallel interface).Transfers signals to and from the CNC via the FANUCI/O LINK (serial interface). Because this is a serialinterface, optical fiber cable can be used to enablelong--distance transmission.
(27) Stabilized power supplyThis unit converts the 200/220 VAC power source to DC power forthe interface PCB and other units.
(28) Power magnetics cabinetThe power magnetics cabinet distributes power, supplied from anexternal unit, to each unit in the laser oscillator. It also protects eachunit from overcurrents.
B--70125EN/03 3. INTERNAL STRUCTURE
35
(29) Control PCBThis PCB sends the contractor open/close signal to the powermagnetics cabinet, as directed by commands received from the CNC.It also notifies the CNC of the open/close status of the circuit breakerin the power magnetics cabinet.
(30) Condensation sensor unitFor the C1500B, C2000B, or C3000C, the condensation sensor unitis mounted at the water port inlet; for the C2000C, C3000D,C4000A, or C6000B, the unit is mounted on the output mirror holder.If the sensor detects that the amount of condensation has exceededthe maximum allowable level, an alarm (abnormal watertemperature) is issued and laser output is stopped, thus preventing afault from occurring.
(31) High--frequency inverterThis inverter drives the turbo blower. It is responsible foracceleration/deceleration control during start and stop of the blower.
(32) Light source for superimposing visible beam (semiconductor laserunit)A CO2 laser beam is invisible to the naked eyes. The semiconductorlight source, therefore, is provided to enable checking of the laserbeam optical axis by superimposing a visible semiconductor laserbeam on the same optical axis. The operation of this light source islinked to the mechanical shutter. The semiconductor laser beam isoutput only while the shutter is closed. Using this beam, the opticalaxis of the external optical system can be adjusted roughly and areference position for the machining point determined.
(33) Turbo PCBThis PCB relays signals between the turbo blower andhigh--frequency inverter, interface PCB.
(34) Trigger electrodeWith preparatory discharge outside the laser oscillation area, maindischarge can be started easily, and the laser output becomescompletely zero at beam--off time.A trigger electrode is installed in the C1500B, C2000C, C3000D,and C4000A.

(9) Check the input power supply voltage, frequency and phasesequence.D Check items
1) 200/220 VAC +10%, --15%, 50/60 Hz � 1 Hz, 3--phase. Note,however, that the combination of 220 V and 50 Hz is notsupported.
2) Input power supply rating3) Direction of phase rotation
(10) Turn on the power, then check the operation of the fan motors in thehousing.The fan motors installed in the housing of the oscillator start as soonas the power to the NC is turned on. Check the operation of each fanmotor. Note, however, that the fan motor installed in the laser powersupply does not start until the oscillator sequence reaches the turboblower ON operation.
(11) Check the parameters and setting data.Check the parameters against the data sheets attached to theoscillator. If a value other than those given on the data sheets is set,correct the setting. Note, however, that parameter No. 15270 [199]and parameter No. 15204 [241] are set automatically, so that theseparameters need not be modified.
CAUTIONEach oscillator has unique parameters. Check the settingdata according to the attached data sheets. Be particularlycareful to store these data sheets safely.
(12) Check that cooling water is supplied normally, and that there is nowater leakage inside the oscillator or at any external connectionpoints.D Check items
1) Turn off the main circuit breaker of the oscillator and powersupply.
2) Check that the water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillatorare connected correctly. If the connections are reversed, theflow sensor installed at the outlet will not function. When avalve is attached to the distributor unit (C3000D or C4000A:see Fig. 10.16 (e) or (f)), check that the valve is open.
3) Fully open the valves on the exhaust side so that the flow ofwater is not impeded. By manually operating the chiller unit,pass cooling water through the system at a flow rate of about10�/minute. Then, check that there is no water leakage at thefollowing locations:
1. The water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillator2. The water piping (including all tubes and joints) in the
oscillator
B--70125EN/03 4. INSTALLATION
51
4) Provided no water leakage is observed in step 3) above, allowcooling water to flow through the oscillator at the specified flowrate. Set the output pressure of the cooling water circulatingunit to 0.5 MPa. Then, check that there is no water leakage atthe following locations:
1. The water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillator2. The water piping (including tubes and joints) in the
oscillator
5) Stop the chiller unit, then switch the operation mode frommanual (local) mode to automatic (remote) mode.
6) Provided no water leakage is observed, start the oscillator, thenset the RUN key to ON. Check that the cooling watercirculating unit can be operated according to commands issuedfrom the NC. At this time, check whether the cooling water isflowing at the specified flow rate through each pipe in theoscillator. If the flow rate is less than the specified value, alarmNo. 4072 [672] (low cooling water flow rate) is issued soonafter the chiller unit is started. If this alarm is issued, proceedas indicated in the guidance corresponding to this alarm.
7) Check that the temperature of the cooling water is set to roomtemperature plus 1°C. (The temperature of the cooling watermay be set to about 27°C throughout the year.) The highesttemperature that may be set is 30°C.
(13) Conduct an oscillator vacuum leakage test.
1) Check the oscillator for any internal leakage.The procedure for performing a leakage check is given inSection 4.3 (6).
2) When first starting the oscillator, check that gas is output fromthe gas outlet of the oscillator. Depending on the parametersettings, it may take as long as one minute before gas is output.If no gas is output, the exhaust pump rotation may be reversed.If this situation is left uncorrected, the exhaust pump mayultimately start to make an abnormal sound, and the thermalswitch may trip. In the worst case, the gas circulating systemmay be contaminated with exhaust pump oil.
(14) Check that the laser gas pressure is controlled normally.
1) Set all bits of parameter No. 15025 [201] through parameter No.15028 [203] to 0 because only the pressure control operation isto be checked, without causing discharge. Set parameter No.15240 [235] to the standard value 10, then check the pressurecontrol status of the laser oscillator. Turn on RUN (pressurecontrol signal), then check the pressure control status againstthe following parameters, while referring to DGN 905 [860]:
1. Parameter No. 15241 [237] for discharge start state2. Parameter No. 15242 [236] for base discharge state
If the pressure control status is abnormal, alarm No. 4073 [673],No. 4081 [681], or No. 4078 [678] is issued. Proceed asindicated in the guidance corresponding to this alarm. Checkalso that the laser gas flow rate in the base discharge statesatisfies the specified value.

1) Check that there is no significant difference from the modespecified in the data sheets attached to the oscillator.
2) Check that the mode shape is perfectly circular.The beam mode (resonator alignment) may be displaced due totransportation and storage. In such a case, make an adjustmentaccording to Section 11.2.1.
(18) Set the hour meter.Set 50 Hz for those localities where the power supply frequency is50 Hz. Set 60 Hz for those localities where the power supplyfrequency is 60 Hz.

Remove cooling water according to the procedure below.
(1)Open the cooling water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT), and leave bothopen. Cooling water will stop draining from the unit after about 10minutes.
(2)Once the cooling water has stopped draining, connect a compressedair hose to the cooling water inlet (IN). Check that the cooling wateroutlet is open. Gradually supply compressed air, allowing the pressureto build up to 1 to 2 kgf/cm2. Never apply full pressure suddenly.
(3)Continue to supply compressed air at this pressure for about 5 minutes.Increase the compressed air pressure to 3 to 4 kgf/cm2, and supply airuntil water inside the white water piping of the oscillator is completelyremoved.
(4)When water is no longer output, set the compressed air pressure to 0.When a drain valve is attached to the distributor unit (C4000A: SeeFig. 10.16 (f).), open the valve, and supply air according to the sameprocedure as (2) and (3). When water is no longer output, set thecompressed air pressure to 0, then close the valve.
(5)Next, connect the compressed air hose to the cooling water outlet(OUT). At this time, ensure that cooling water inlet is open. Removewater in the same procedure as (2), (3), and (4).
(6)Once all cooling water has been removed, disconnect the compressedair tube. Then, seal the cooling water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) byattaching the blanking plugs provided with the oscillator to the PTplugs.
(7)When a valve is attached to the distributor unit (C3000D or C4000A),check that the valve is open. Leave the valve open (for operation,storage, or transport of the oscillator) except when water is removed.
CAUTIONAlso, the cooling water should be removed from theoscillator whenever the oscillator is to be stored over thewinter, when there is a danger of the cooling water freezing.If the cooling water freezes, it may destroy the cooling waterpipes or other cooling system components.

4) Perform internal discharge in manual mode.
5) Check that no abnormality occurs for 30 minutes after beam--on.
B--70125EN/03 4. INSTALLATION
57
6) Upon the completion of the check, restore the parameters modifiedin step 1) to their original values.An alarm, if issued in step 5), indicates an error. Check the externallaser gas piping and laser gas composition, or perform aging.
(4)Beam mode check1) Remove the guide pipe connecting the laser light outlet of the
oscillator to the machine.2) Start the oscillator.3) First, check the beam position. Laser light, if allowed to penetrate
the acrylic material because of incorrect operation, is verydangerous. The paint of the machine is also likely to be damaged.So, attach as feel plate, then an acrylic plate, about 30 cm × 30 cmin size. Then, output laser light for 0.1 seconds, with Pc = ratedoutput and Du = 100% set by programming. At this time, providea flow of air with a drier. If a guide laser is used, confirm that CO2gas laser light is directed to the same spot as the guide laser.
4) Next, attach an acrylic block to the position indicated by the whiteacrylic mark. Ensure that the surface of the acrylic block isperpendicular to the direction of CO2 gas laser light. If a guide laseris used, the perpendicularity of the acrylic block surface can bechecked by adjusting the block such that the guide laser is reflectedfrom the acrylic block surface and returns to the beam outlet.
5) Set the program as follows:Output 1500 W Duty 100% Duration 4.0 seconds (C1500B)Output 2000 W Duty 100% Duration 4.0 seconds
(C2000B, C2000C)Output 3000 W Duty 100% Duration 3.0 seconds
(C3000C, C3000D)Output 4000 W Duty 100% Duration 2.5 seconds (C4000A)Output 6000 W Duty 100% Duration 2.5 seconds (C6000B)
6) Direct the drier so that it blows air at 45° to the acrylic block, thenoutput the beam. If air is not provided correctly, the acrylic vaporwill catch fire.
7) Observe the burn pattern, and record the directions (X direction, Ydirection) and output conditions.1. Compare the recorded burn pattern with the burn pattern data
attached to the oscillator. Check that there is no significantdifference. Note, however, that the shape may vary, dependingon the distance.
2. Check that the shape is perfectly circular.3. Check that no interference fringes can be observed nearby.If a problem is detected, align the resonator of the oscillator.
B--70125EN/034. INSTALLATION

(5)External gas piping leakage check (clamp test)1) Using an approved gas pipe, connect the gas inlet of the oscillator
to the cluster piping, or to the secondary side of the regulatormounted on the gas cylinder.
CAUTIONRubber hoses were once commonly used for laser gaspiping, but these hoses allowed helium in the laser gas toleak. The composition of the laser gas thus deteriorated,reducing the output level and preventing continuousdischarge, such that the oscillator malfunctioned.Moreover, when a brazed copper pipe was used,contaminants in the brazing bled into the laser gas, thuspreventing continuous discharge. It is essential, therefore,that the specified gas pipes and SUS pipes be used.
2) Open the valve of the regulator, then open the main valve of the gascylinder. Next, set the secondary pressure of the regulator to0.175� 0.025 MPa.
3) Upon the completion of setting, close the main valve of the gascylinder.1. If the primary pressure of the regulator is abruptly reduced to 0,
gas will leak from the gas piping. Open the main valve of thegas cylinder and locate the leaks using a liquid leakage checker.Then, correct the leaks.
2. If the pressure is reduced gradually, gas will leak from the gaspiping. Recheck the joints. Very occasionally, gas may leakfrom the primary pressure side to the secondary pressure side ofthe regulator. In such a case, the primary pressure decreases,while the secondary pressure is increases.
3. A primary pressure reduction of within 10% to 15% over 8hours is normal.
CAUTIONIf the amount of gas leakage from the gas piping is verysmall, the gas composition will change more rapidly whenthe pipe is longer, when the pipe diameter is larger, or whena smaller amount of gas is consumed. In such cases, theoutput will be reduced, and discharge will tend to turn offmore easily.
4) Upon the completion of this check, close the main valve of the gascylinder.

(6)Check for leakage within the oscillatorD Negative pressure method
1) On the setting screen, enable parameter rewriting.2) On the parameter screen, change the setting of parameter No.
15240 (16--L, 16i--L) or parameter No. 235 (0--L) to 0.3) Set the oscillator start switch to ON. The gas pressure inside the
oscillator can be checked with DGN 905 (16--L, 16i--L) or DGN860 (0--L).
4) Alarm No. 4082 (16--L, 16i--L) or No. 682 (0--L) is issuedseveral minutes after the oscillator is started.
5) Set the main circuit breaker of the oscillator to OFF. Then, turnoff the power to the NC.
6) Set the NC start switch (RUN ON KEY) to OFF, then turn onthe power to the NC.
7) Check the gas pressure on the diagnosis screen to determinewhether there is any increase in pressure over 15 minutes. Anincrease in pressure of within 10 (133Pa) is normal.
8) Upon the completion of this check, set the start switch to ON,then immediately return the switch to OFF. The oscillator willperform a purge operation after 75 seconds.
9) Finally, restore the parameter settings to their original values.
CAUTIONA large increase in pressure indicates that, gas is leakingfrom the oscillator. The cause of the leak may be:1. O--ring deterioration or failureS Discharge tube sectionS Mirror sectionS Gas circulating piping
2. Failure to close the turbo oil inlet and outlet3. Failure to lose the values after filter replacement4. Water leakage from the heat exchanger5. Water leakage from a location other than the above6. Output mirror cracking7. Discharge tube cracking8. Cracking in a weld of the gas circulating system

D Pressurization
CAUTIONThe turbo blower is not designed to withstandpressurization. So, whenever possible, do not perform aleakage check by pressurizing the turbo blower. Even wheninternal pressurization is inevitable, never apply a pressurein excess of 0.08 MPa. Otherwise, components such asconnectors or the oil gauge may be damaged. To minimizethe risk of connector damage, connect all cables to the turboblower when applying pressure.
1) Turn on the power to the oscillator, then open the valve of thegas cylinder.
2) Set the secondary pressure of the gas cylinder regulator to 0.05MPa.
3) To increase the internal pressure of the oscillator to a levelexceeding atmospheric pressure, turn the trimmer of theatmospheric pressure sensor (installed in the pressure sensorsection) clockwise by half a division.
4) Set the RUN key on the oscillator to ON, then immediatelyreturn the RUN key to OFF.
5) Apply leakage check liquid to possible leak points. Bubbleswill be seen if there is a leak. Thus, any leak points can beidentified.
6) Upon the completion of the above processing, return thetrimmer rotated in step 3) to its original setting.
(7)Parameter checkLaser oscillator parameter data is attached to each oscillator. Machinetool builders may prepare a parameter table including the laseroscillator parameter data. If the attached parameter data sheets aremissing, contact your machine tool builder.1) On the NC setting screen, enable parameter rewriting.2) Check the parameters, and enter the same values as those given in
the parameter table.3) On the NC setting screen, disable parameter rewriting, then press
the reset key.

CAUTION1 If the oscillator is started with an incorrect parameter value
specified, there is a risk of the oscillator being damaged ordestroyed. Be particularly careful when entering andchecking parameter values.
2 Some parameters may require modification to, for example,suit the operating state of the oscillator or enablemaintenance. When modifying the parameters, the usershould record all changes (including dates, parametersbefore modification, parameters after modification, andreasons for modification) so that old parameters and invalidparameters are not used.
(8)Discharge agingIf the oscillator is left unused for a long time (three days or more), orif the laser gas circulating system has been opened to the atmosphere(for example, to clean the mirrors or replace gas system components),aging is required. This involves warming up the discharge tubes andcirculating gas by performing internal discharge to output absorbentcontaminants as gas. If the laser gas circulating system has beenopened to the atmosphere, perform a leakage check before attemptingaging. The aging procedure is described below.1) Modify the parameters listed below.

Even when the concentration of the anticorrosive is controlled asexplained above, the cooling water must, nevertheless, be replaced everyyear.
To remove contaminants adhering to the inside surfaces of the coolingwater system, clean the system using the cleaning agent indicated below.Consult with the chiller manufacturer prior to using the cleaning agent.
Product name: DESLIMEManufacturer: MITSUBISHI GAS CHEMICAL. Inc.Use: Replace up to 10% of the cooling water with this agent,
then circulate the cooling water for one hour. Next,drain the cooling water and thoroughly flush thecooling system. Note that DESLIME is highly toxicin its undiluted form. Never touch DESLIME. If youget any DESLIME on your skin, wash it with copiousamounts of water. Never dispose of any waste liquiduntil the hydrogen peroxide, which is a majorcomponent, has decomposed such that itsconcentration is reduced.
If the chiller is used in a cold district, it should be provided with anantifreezing function. When it is extremely cold, the chiller should bekept running. If it is necessary to use an antifreezing solution for lack ofan alternative, the following antifreezing solution should be used. Itsconcentration should be 30% (usually) or 40% (in an extremely colddistrict). Use of an antifreezing solution should be restricted within fourmonths in winter. Do not use antifreezing solution together with ananticorrosive. The following antifreezing solution is already added withan anticorrosive.

(2)Water (H2O): 5 ppm or less(3)Hydrocarbon (CnHm): 1 ppm or less(4)Gas purity: 99.99% or higher
Observe the following cautions for piping between the laser gas cylinderand laser oscillator.
D Use nylon tube having an inside diameter of 8 mm or larger (JunlonAS1 manufactured by Junkousha, or polyprotube manufactured byImperial Co.). Do not use a rubber or urethane tube.
D Use a swage--lock vacuum joint (Fujikin’s product or equivalent). Donot use a one--touch coupler, quick coupler, or hose--band joint.
D Minimize the length of tubing. It should be kept within 5 m. Neverexceed 15 m. For a length of 15 m or greater, use stainless pipe.
D If it is necessary to use metal pipe for lack of an alternative, usestainless bright annealed pipe. Minimize the number of joints used.Connect pipes, if necessary, using a swage--lock vacuum joint or byTIG welding. Do NOT use silver soldering or copper piping. Pipingshould be installed by a vacuum piping specialist. Do not extend metalpiping over 30 m.
D Always keep the piping materials clean. Do not allow foreign matterto get in the pipe.
D Use a pressure reducer that is free from gas leakage.D After installing the pipe, check it for gas leakage, using a liquid leak
checker (Gyupoflex: A98L--0001--0856, detecting bubbles caused byleaking gas) or a clamp test1).
NOTEOpen the valve of the gas cylinder to pressurize the insideof the pipe, then close the valve. Check to see if thepressure in the pipe becomes low with time. Monitor theprimary pressure of the gas reducer for over 8 hours. If thegas pressure becomes lower by 10% within 8 hours, gas islikely to be leaking. Take an appropriate measure.

5 MAINTENANCE
In FANUC LASER C series, periodic inspection items have beenreduced, and adjustments have been made easy. To keep the oscillator ina satisfactory operating condition over a long period, however, it isnecessary to carry out periodic maintenance (including dailymaintenance) described in this chapter. The oscillator is designed tomaintain the same performance and reliability as it has when it is installed,provided that maintenance is carried out as prescribed.
B--70125EN/035. MAINTENANCE
70
Table 5.1 lists daily inspection items. Inspect the FANUC LASER Cseries according to this table. When parts (including oil) have been usedfor a prescribed period, replace them quickly.
Table 5.1 Daily inspection items for FANUC LASER C series
Item Period Content and instruction
1 Residual laser gas Daily Check to see if the primary pressure is 1MPa or less as mea-sured at the regulator on the laser gas cylinder. If the primarypressure is 1MPa or lower, replace the gas cylinder. See Sec-tion 4.6 for the gas specifications.
2 Exhaust pump oil Weekly Make sure that the oil level is between L (minimum) and H(maximum). Usually, oil is supplied until the oil level is in themiddle between L and H. If the oil level is below L, supply oilaccording to Section 5.3.2. Be sure to replace the oil periodi-cally, every 6 months of use or every 1500 hours of operation,whichever is earlier.
3 Exhaust pump oil leak Weekly Make sure that no oil is leaking from the vane pump mainbody, drain cock and their periphery. If oil is leaking, immedi-ately replace the exhaust filter according to Section 5.3.3, be-cause it is likely to have been clogged. Be sure to replace theexhaust filter periodically, every one year of use or every 3000hours of operation, whichever is earlier.
4 Turbo blower oil Daily Make sure that the oil level is between L (minimum) and H(maximum) according to Fig. 5.3.1. Usually , oil is suppleduntil the oil level is at 3/4 above L. If the oil level is below L,supply oil according to Section 5.3.1. Be sure to replace theoil periodically, every 4 months of use or 1000 hours of opera-tion, whichever is earlier.
5 Turbo blower oil leak Weekly Make sure that no oil is leaking from the turbo blower mainbody, oil inlet, cock, and their periphery. If oil is leaking, locatethe leak. If oil leaks for any reason other than a cock beingopen, call FANUC.
6 Laser output Weekly 1. Check to see if the laser output measured at the outlet ofthe short optical path oscillator is 5% or more lower thanthe specified output. If this is the case, clean or replacethe optical components in the external reflection unit.
2. If the laser output decreases within the oscillator, warningmessage No. 4085 [G85] is issued. If this message ap-pears, clean or replace the mirror in the oscillator quickly.
7 Cooling water Daily Make sure that the chiller discharge output is 0.5MPa or less.
Weekly Check the quality of cooling water circulating in the chiller. Ifthe water is colored badly, replace it completely. Be sure toreplace the cooling water every two months. Adding an anti-corrosive to cooling water can decrease the replacement fre-quency. See Section 4.4.1 for descriptions about the anticor-rosive.
5.1DAILY INSPECTION

72
When opening the panels and doors during maintenance, keep the powerturned off.Before replacing oil, be sure to check that purging is completed.
(1)Check method
Check the amount of oil in the turbo blower while referring to thefigure below. The oil level should be between graduations H and L.This check should be made when the oscillator is at a rest. When theturbo blower is running, it is impossible to check the amount of oilcorrectly.
(2)Replenishment method1) Remove the hexagonal--head screw from the oil inlet with a 17 mm
wrench. Be careful not to lose the O--ring on the screw.Before supplying turbo oil, stop the oscillator according to thecorrect procedure and turn off the power. If the oscillator is notstopped by the correct procedure, the pressure in the turbo blowerbecomes negative. Opening the oil inlet under such a condition letsa large amount of air get in the turbo blower. An air flow causedthis way can bring oil mist into the oscillator, possibly resulting inthe optical mirror getting dirty.
2) Take a bottle of oil from the oil kit (A04B--0800--K326). Unscrewthe nozzle from the bottle, remove the inner cap, then replace thenozzle. Insert the nozzle into the oil inlet and supply oil. Be carefulnot to allow dust to enter through the inlet. This task is made easierby attaching the tube (included in the oil kit) onto the nozzle.Supply oil until the oil reaches the 3/4 level relative to the Lindication when viewed through the oil window. Note that both toolittle and too much oil can result in mechanical failure.
3) Clean the oil inlet, hexagonal--head screw of the oil inlet, andO--ring by wiping with a clean cloth or paper. Ensure that theseparts are completely free of dust. If the oil is contaminated withdust, the turbo blower may fail. Set the O--ring in the groovearound the hexagonal--head screw of the oil inlet, then tighten thehexagonal--head screw. Note that if the O--ring is not set correctly,or if the hexagonal--head screw is not tightened fully, the turboblower may not be air--tight.
4) If oil has spilled over, wipe it up. Otherwise, the peripheralequipment may be affected adversely.
5) If there is oil left over, put the inner lid back on the bottle, and keepthe bottle in a dark, cool place.
(3)Replacement method1) Get a container for oil drain on hand, and put the tip of the drain tube
into the container.2) Turn the oil drain cock through 90° clockwise, and the oil will start
draining.3) After all the oil has been drained, close the oil drain cock by setting
it back in the initial place.4) Supply oil by following the same procedure as for replenishment.
5.3DETAILS OFMAINTENANCE
5.3.1Turbo Blower Oil
B--70125EN/03 5. MAINTENANCE
73
NOTEExecute discharge ageing after changing turbo blower oil.
Fig. 5.3.1 Turbo blower oil check points
(1)Check method
Watch the oil gauge, and check that the oil level is between graduationsL and H. Also check whether the oil is dark.If the oil level is below L, add oil to the turbo blower or replace the oilin it. If the oil level is above H, drain until the oil level becomes belowH.The exhaust of the turbo blower contains oil mist. The exhaust pumpwill capture oil mist, and the amount of exhaust pump oil increaseswith time. When the oil has increased too much, the filter getsimmersed in the oil, possibly causing white mist to come out from thepump, or oil to leak. Furthermore, the exhaust capacity may getlowered, or the pump may be damaged.
(2)Replacement method1) Stop the oscillator, and turn off the power.2) Remove the maintenance panel.3) Remove the oil inlet plug. There is an O--ring on it. Be careful not
to damage it. A missing or damaged O--ring can lower the exhaustcapacity of the pump.
4) Insert the drain tube into a drain oil pot.5) Fully open the drain cock.6) After the oil has been drained up, close the cock.
5.3.2Exhaust Pump Oil
B--70125EN/035. MAINTENANCE

7) Supply 1.8 liters of new oil through the oil inlet, while watchingthe oil gauge.
8) Attach the oil inlet plug.9) Put the maintenance panel back in place, and turn on the power.
(1)Replacement methodReplace the filter every 3000 hours, or when the exhaust power hasdegraded. If the filter gets clogged, the pump output becomes low.Fig. 5.3.3 shows where the filter of a vane pump is located.1) Stop the oscillator, and turn off the power.2) Remove the maintenance panel.3) Remove the black screw button from the pump.4) Remove the filter cover and O--ring.5) Remove the spring and washer.6) Pull out the exhaust filter element.7) Orient a new exhaust filter element correctly, and reverse the
procedure from step 6 to step 3. (An upward arrow is indicated onthe front surface of the filter element.)
NOTEThe exhaust filter element should be installed securely. Ifit is installed incorrectly, or the O--ring is not insertedaccurately, oil mist (white) will come out from the exhaustoutlet.
8) Put the maintenance panel back in place, and turn on the power.

The troubleshooting procedure to be applied depends on the failureoccurrence status as indicated below. Perform checking according to theitems listed below.
(1)Action in response to alarm screen display (See Sections 6.2 and 6.3.)(2)Major faults
1) Laser power supply unit alarm display (See Section 6.4.1.)2) The power cannot be turned off with the CRT/MDI power switch.
(See Section 6.4.2.)3) The power cannot be turned on with the CRT/MDI power switch.
(See Section 6.4.2.)4) The laser output level is low immediately after the power is turned
on. (See Section 6.4.2.)5) The laser output displayed on the CRT screen is unstable. (See
Section 6.4.2.)6) A cooling fan circuit breaker trips. (See Section 6.4.2.)7) The magnetic contactor for a vane pump causes thermal trip. (See
Section 6.4.2.)8) The main circuit breaker trips. (See Section 6.4.2.)9) Excessive laser gas consumption. (See Section 6.4.2.)10) A high--frequency inverter related alarm is displayed. (See
Section 6.4.2.)
After identifying the following items, call the FANUC service center. Insome cases, a symptom is not actually a fault in the oscillator, althoughit looks like a fault. So, check it with the following sections.
(1)Symptoms1) State of operation
(machining in progress, oscillator being started, etc.)2) Timing of a fault (alarm)3) Alarm number4) How often the fault occurs5) Oscillator serial number
(2)Other information1) Software system and edition indicated on the CRT screen when
power is turned on2) Parameter settings;check the current parameter settings with the corresponding valuesindicated on the unit, and report your finding to the FANUC servicecenter.
See the conceptual diagram of alarm processing and the list of error codein the appendix.

2) When an overheat alarm is issuedCheck whether cooling water is flowing through the power supplyunit.
3) When other alarms are issuedIn addition to the causes displayed on the alarm screen, consider thefollowing:Failure of a circuit internal to the power supply unitFailure of a coaxial cableLoose screw in a matching boxFailure of a discharge tube (dielectric breakdown, occurrence of pinholes)
The power supply cannot always be switched.It can be switched only before the switching on of RUN (pressure controlstart) or after the completion of purge with RUN off and the PURGE lamplit.If the laser gas supply is suspended during operation, discharge halts withthe occurrence of laser gas decrease alarm (alarm 4073/673). Thenbecause of the lack of laser gas supply, purge cannot be done even withRUN switch on and PURGE lamp are not lit. In this case the powersupply cannot be switched off.It is necessary here either to resume the laser gas supply or break powersupply externally (using the breaker of the machine or the external one).If the oscillator is left with a vacuum established, foreign matter may enterthe oscillator. Perform purge processing immediately.
1) Non--fuse breaker(NBK1) for cooling fans, electromagnetic valves,and stabilized power sources is tripping.
2) Electromagnetic contactor(MS3) for vane pump is tripping thermally.In the above cases the power supply is automatically switched off andcannot be switched on.Remove first the causes of trip , reset the thermal relay and then switchon the power supply.
1) The cooling water temperature is not normal, although the chiller unitis operating.This is the case when the room temperature is high and can be solvedin 5 to 10 minutes automatically.
2) Slight leakage exists in the tube between laser and gas cylinder.This is the case in which the laser output in the first run after a longhalt is low and becomes normal after the second run. Check forleakage, loose fixing or crack. Correct the tube and fitting if anyanomaly exists.

1) Is the coaxial cable between the laser power sensor mounted on the rearmirror holder and the relay PCB B or the cable between the relay PCBB and the IF PCB (A16B--1110--0223: FS0--L, A16B--0128-- C202:FS16--L, 16i--L) inside the laser oscillator fixed tightly?
2) Is there anomaly in the laser power sensor output? Is the DC resistorbetween the terminals of the power sensor unit in the range100--500� ?
3) Is the ratio of input(LPWI--0V)/output(LPWT--0V) of the relay PCBB (A16B--1600--0361) amplified by the factor of 120 in DC level?
If there exists any anomaly in the results of the above investigations,replace the anomalous component.
When there occurs short circuit in either cooling fan, electromagneticvalve, or stabilized power unit, non--fuse breaker (NBK1) trips.Replace the anomalous component and check the state of cables. If anyanomaly exists there, correct it.

By using the IF PCB pins, check that each signal of the IF PCB is normal.Fig. 6.5.3 (a) and Fig. 6.5.3 (b) show the pin locations.
FS0--L FS16--LFS16i--L Signal function
COR COR Voltage to operate the laser power supply 0 V to 5V
GPC GPC Specification of pressure inside the laser tube 0 V to13 V
MOUT — Sampling output of monitored laser power supply cur-rents and voltages and monitored pressures inside thelaser tube.Data is output in the order: pressure, voltage (No. 1);pressure, current (No. 1); pressure, voltage (No. 2);and so on.
— MOUT Sampling output of monitored laser power supply cur-rents and voltages.Data is output in the order: voltage (No. 1), current(No. 1), voltage (No. 2), current (No. 2), and so on.
LPW LPW Monitoring of laser output power 0 V to 10 V
LTP LTP Monitoring of pressure inside the laser tube 0 V to 9 V1V/Pressure value 100 (=1330 Pa)Monitored values are clamped to 9 V.

Pin Setting Description
SP1 1--2 Disables the safety interlock function.
2--3 Enables the safety interlock function. (The power to theIF PCB can be turned on only when pin 1 of CN34 isconnected with pin 2 of CN34.)
SP2SP3
1--2 Enables door interlock operation with the oscillatoronly. (Note, however, that when the door is opened, anNMI communication error occurs because communica-tion with the CNC is disabled.)
2--3 Enables door interlock operation interactively with theCNC. (When DIL1 and DIL2 are connected with thedoor interlock terminal of the CNC, door interlock op-eration is performed interactively with the CNC. Whenno connection is made, this mode of door interlock op-eration is disabled.)
SP4 2--3 Be sure to use this setting at all times.
SP5SP6
1--2 Enables communication with the CNC via a metalcable (when JD1B is used).
2--3 Enables communication with the CNC via an opticalcable (when COP1B is used).

When the machine breaks down, it is necessary to know if the trouble isin the CNC, PMC, machine or laser.Even when there does not exist machine failure, the machine mighthang--up for waiting of external signals. Then the check of inside stateof CNC, interface between CNC and PMC, one between laser and CNCneeds to be done.Here the description is given on the indication of troubles taking place inlaser using the self--diagnostic function of CNC.The indication of troubles in CNC, PMC as well as machine is describedin the maintenance manual.

Fig. 8.3 (a) shows installation, and Fig. 8.3 (b) shows piping of thepressure controller respectively. The functions of each of the componentsshown in the figures are outlined below:
(1)Pressure control valveThis valve is provided to maintain a specified laser gas pressure in theoscillator. The valve is consistently and precisely opened or closedaccording to commands issued from the CNC, controlling the flowrate of the fresh laser gas supply.
(2)Gas supply valveThis magnetic contactor opens to supply fresh laser gas to theoscillator while the machine is operating. While the machine isstopped, the valve closes to prevent air from entering the oscillator.
(3)Purge valveWhen the machine stops, this magnetic contactor opens to supply lasergas to the oscillator. Gas is supplied until the pressure in the oscillatormatches atmospheric pressure. When the atmospheric pressure sensor5 detects that the pressure in the oscillator has reached atmosphericpressure, the valve closes.
(4)Gas pressure sensorThis sensor continuously monitors the pressure of the laser gassupplied from an external source (such as a gas cylinder). When theremaining amount of laser gas drops to a preset level or when thesupply pressure falls to 0.1 MPa or less, the sensor outputs an alarmsignal.
(5)Atmospheric pressure sensorThis sensor monitors whether the pressure in the oscillator has reachedatmospheric pressure.
(6)Pressure sensorThis sensor continuously monitors the pressure in the oscillator, fromthe heat exchanger on the inlet side of the Roots blower. The sensoroutputs a signal to the CNC. The sensor is of the capacitancemanometer type, which is notable for drifting little with changes intemperature and for exhibiting very little deterioration with time.
(7)FilterThe filter prevents impurities from entering the oscillator.
(8)Gas distributorThe distributor distributes the laser gas, supplied from an externalsource (such as a gas cylinder), to the output mirror, rear mirror, andfolding mirror.
(9)External pipe exhaust valveThis valve allows laser gas to escape from the laser gas pipe betweenthe oscillator and gas cylinder. If any leakage is detected, or if theoscillator has not been operated for a long time, the valve can preventgas whose composition has changed, or gas containing impurities,from entering the oscillator.

NOTE1 RFI and DCV value recording and adjustment
The laser power supply involves feedback at RFI. So, if the laser power feedback function isdisabled, RFI is stable when the continuous output command is used. Basically, measure RFIfor power supply adjustment.If the NC monitor is away from the oscillator, and you have no assistant, make an adjustmentby using the value of DCV instead of RFI. However, use the value of RFI for final confirmation.
RFI= (Voltage between RFI--N and RFI--O of CN18)/2 [A]RFV= (Voltage between RFV--N and RFV--P of CN18)×1000 [V]DCI= (Voltage between DCI--N and DCI--P of CN17)×5 [A]DCV= (Voltage between DCV--N and DCV--P of CN17)×30 [V]Power supply output=DCI×DCV [W]

The inverter is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not require anyfurther adjustment. If it is replaced, however, the high--frequency invertershould be set and adjusted as described below.
The type of the high--frequency inverter varies with the oscillator model.The C1500B, C2000B, C2000C, C3000D, and C4000A all use theA90L--0001--0382/C or A90L--0001--0464 inverter while the C3000Cand C6000B use the A90L--0001--0465. The following subsectionsdescribe how to adjust the three types:
The FMD and L terminals of the inverter output pulse signals having thesame frequency as the output frequency. So, the output frequency can bemeasured by connecting a frequency counter to these terminals.
(1)Remove the cable connector of the turbo blower. Then, remove thefront panel of the inverter.
(2)Set test mode.Switch the rightmost switch of DIP switch DS2 from the DR (drive)position to the TE (test) position. This enables test operation of theinverter.
(3)Set the maximum frequency.Adjust the following four positions to set the maximum frequency to1000 Hz.
F. CN : A (1)F. RNG : 4F6 of DS1 : ONFH of DS1 : ON
(4)Set the acceleration/deceleration period.Set the leftmost switch of DS1 to the T10 (OFF) position.
(5)Set the torque boost.The torque boost is not used. Turn the T.BST trimmer fullycounterclockwise.
(6)Perform fine adjustment of the maximum frequency.1) Connect a frequency counter to the FMD and L terminals of the
inverter.2) Apply the three--phase 200--V power to the inverter. Check that the
POWER LED lights.3) Connect the SP1 jumper on the turbo PCB to RUN. This enables
operation of the turbo blower alone.4) Press SW1 (RUN switch) of the turbo PCB to start the turbo
blower. Once the frequency reading stabilizes, turn the 0.REFtrimmer so that the frequency reading is between 998 and 1002 Hz(� 2 Hz).

(7)Adjust the acceleration/deceleration period.Adjust the period from when the turbo blower starts rotating until therotation stabilizes, and the period from when deceleration starts untilthe turbo blower stops.1) While the inverter output frequency is 0 Hz, press SW1 (RUN
switch) on the turbo PCB. At the same time, start measuring thetime.
2) Turn the ACCEL trimmer so that the frequency set in step (6) canbe obtained 70 to 75 seconds later.Turning the trimmer clockwise increases the period while turningthe trimmer counterclockwise reduces the period.
1) While the inverter output frequency is stable, release SW1 (RUNswitch) on the turbo PCB. At the same time, start measuring thetime.
2) Turn the DECEL trimmer so that the inverter output frequency isreduced to 0 Hz 70 to 75 seconds later. Turning the trimmerclockwise increases the period while turning the trimmercounterclockwise reduces the period.
(8)Cancel test mode.1) Return the SP1 jumper on the turbo PCB from RUN to RESET.2) Switch the rightmost switch of DIP switch DS2 on the inverter
from TE to DR. This cancels inverter test mode.Once the adjustment has been completed, turn the power off, removethe frequency counter, and replace the front cover of the inverter.

Selection of T1 or T10 of the DS1 switch determines the factor ofthe acceleration or deceleration time. When T10 is selected, thetime is multiplied by 10. TX1: 3 to 15 sec TX10: 15 to 150 sec.
Set the regulators correctlywith reference to the rele-vant items.

This unit is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not require anyfurther adjustment. If the pressure controller is replaced or requiresre--adjustment, however, it should be set and adjusted as described below:
(1)Turn the CNC on. Never turn on the gas pressure control start signal(RUN) at this stage.
(2)Set the secondary pressure of the regulator of the external laser gassupply (gas cylinder, for example) to 0.1 MPa.
(3)The gas supply pressure sensor is indicated as PSW1 on the pressurecontroller. This sensor can be adjusted by a trimmer. Turn theadjustment trimmer with a cross--headed precision screwdriver untilthe red LED next to the trimmer lights. Then, turn the trimmer througha further 30 degrees.
(4)To check the setting, reduce the secondary pressure of the regulator onthe laser gas supply unit (gas cylinder, for example) to 0.05 MPa. Thered LED of the gas supply pressure sensor (PSW1) should go off.
(5)This completes the setting.
While setting the sensor, the pressure controller is open to the atmosphere.To prevent dust from entering the controller, pay particular attention to theimmediate surroundings.
(1)Turn off the CNC. Then, turn off the power supply and open maincircuit breaker on the back panel of the laser oscillator.
(2)Remove the orange gas tube by loosening the hexagon cap nutssecuring the tube. This causes the atmospheric pressure sensor todetect the atmospheric pressure.
(3)Close the main circuit breaker and turn on the power supply, then turnon the CNC. A voltage of 24 V is supplied to the sensor. Never turnon the gas pressure control start signal (RUN).
(4)The atmospheric pressure sensor is indicated as PSW2 on the front ofthe pressure controller. Turn the adjustment trimmer with across--headed precision screwdriver until the red LED next to thetrimmer just lights.
(5)Replace the gas tube and secure the nuts.(6)Turn on the gas pressure control start signal (RUN). Check that the
red LED next to the sensor goes off after the exhaust pump starts.(7)This completes the setting.

This unit is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not require anyfurther adjustment. If the exhaust adjustment valve is accidentallytouched or if the exhaust controller is replaced, however, the gas flowshould be checked and the exhaust flow adjustment valve adjusted asdescribed below.
Note that indiscriminate adjustment may increase the laser gasconsumption or may adversely affect the gas pressure control.
(1)Set parameters 15025 to 15028 [201 to 203] to 0. Then, start theoscillator.
(2)Set the laser oscillator to the base discharge state (LSTR). Nodischarge occurs in the discharge tube with the above parametersettings.
(3)The gas flow to the laser oscillator is factory--adjusted in this state.Check the flow rate with a laser gas flowmeter, mounted between theexternal laser gas supply (gas cylinder, for example) and oscillator.
(4)While observing the flow rate on the gas flowmeter, adjust the exhaustflow adjustment valve to obtain a predetermined flow rate.
(5)Stop the oscillator.(6)Return parameters 15025 to 15028 [201 to 203] to their original
values.(7)This completes the adjustment.D Predetermined flow rate

This coefficient is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not requireany further adjustment. If the rear mirror of the laser oscillator or thepower sensor unit is replaced, however, the power input compensationcoefficient should be checked and set as described below.
The coefficient is set by measuring the laser beam. Always apply thesafety precautions related to laser beams, as explained in Chapter 2.
(1)Change the following parameter settings:Parameter 15208 (16--L, 16i--L) or 233 (0--L) �

whether the oscillator alignment is optimized, by following theprocedure described in Chapter 11. If not, repeat the adjustment.
(3)Execute an internal discharge at the rated output for one minute orlonger. Run the following program in automatic mode. Measure laseroutput value Pr with a laser power meter (Model P2000Cmanufactured by Optical Engineer, Ltd., for example). It isrecommended that measurement be performed just behind the beampanel. While measuring Pr, record laser output value Pa, detected bythe internal sensor and displayed on the laser setting screen.

To change the duration of the radiation applied to the power probe,calculate the duration based on the probe display output.
(4) If power input compensation coefficient K in parameter 15215 [259]is correct, Pa should match Pr. If there is a difference between Pa andPr and if the difference is � 5% of Pr or greater, set the value obtainedfrom the following expression as power input compensationcoefficient K [Parameter 15215 (16--L) or 259 (0--L)].
K (new value) =Pr’ (calculated from probe output)/Pa × K (old value)
(5)Repeat step (2) above. Check that Pa equals Pr.(6)This completes the setting.

2. Remove the damaged diode by removing the screws and nutsat the both ends.In case of 9 kW power supply at first replace the cooling heatsink and diode plate 1 and 2, then replace the diode block A andB to remove diode.
CAUTIONWhen removing a diode, if it proves necessary to removethe heat sink to which the diode is fixed, be careful not todamage the insulating sheet under the heat sink.
3. Mount a new diode, then fix the diode using the screws and nuts.In case of 9 kW power supply mount the diode block withtemporarilly fastening of replaced diode and fix after decidingthe direction of mounting diode.
CAUTIONTwo types of diodes, UES806 and UES806R (alternativemodel: UES805R) are used (see Fig. 10.2 (e), (f) and (j)).When replacing a diode, it must be replaced with one of thesame type.
3) Checking for and replacing a damaged FET module PCB (See Fig.10.2 (g) (i).)1. To check whether an FET module PCB is damaged, measure the
resistance between check pins D and S or screws A and B (6 kWpower supply) shown in the figure. When the 9--kW powersupply is being used, measure the resistance at both of thesepoints for each of FET (1) and FET (2). These are separatecircuits. A resistance of less than 10 k� indicates that the FETmodule PCB is damaged. (A normal FET module PCB willhave a resistance of about 30 k� to 10 M� .)
2. Remove the damaged FET module PCB as follows: Removethe six screws shown in the figure (A, B, and C), disconnect thegreen cables from connectors CN72 and CN73, then lift thePCB upwards.When the 9--kW power supply is being used, disconnect thecables and remove the screws, then remove the step--uptransformer PCB, before removing the damaged FET PCB.
CAUTIONDo not disconnect the green cables from the lower PCB(A20B--1006--0060).

When the turbo blower is replaced, the gas circulating system is open tothe atmosphere for a long time. Pay particular attention to the immediatesurroundings to ensure that dust and other contaminants do not enter thegas circulating system.Clean the flanges of the turbo blower and the pipe flanges before replacingthe turbo blower.
CAUTIONDo not incline the turbo blower while transporting andinstalling it. Doing so will cause lubricating oil to enter thepump, contaminating the laser gas circulating system andoptical mirrors. Usually, all oil is drained from a turbo blowerprior to shipping. Even so, however, the turbo blower mustnot be inclined because trace amounts of oil will inevitablyremain inside the unit.If a turbo blower is inclined, it can no longer be used.
(1)Replacement procedure
Be careful not to damage the O--rings or their mating surfaceson the pipes. A damaged O--ring or mating surface will resultin gas leakage.
1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then turn off the power to the laseroscillator. In addition, open the main circuit breaker for the laseroscillator.
2) Disconnect the cooling water tubes and power cables from theturbo blower, then drain the oil from the turbo blower.
3) Disconnect the two pipes from the turbo blower outlet and one pipefrom turbo blower inlet. Cover the removed gas pipes and turboblower to prevent dust from entering.
4) Remove the hexagon headed bolt which secures the dampingrubber and blower base, then remove the turbo blower by slidingit horizontally. Note that the turbo blower weighs about 30 kg.
5) Remove the two metal brackets, used to secure the turbo blower,from the removed turbo blower, then mount them on the new turboblower.
6) Mount the new turbo blower on the oscillator, then fix the gaspipes. Be careful not to damage the O--rings and ensure that noO--ring is missing.

When the exhaust pump is replaced, the gas circulating system is open tothe atmosphere for a long time. Pay particular attention to the immediatesurroundings to ensure that dust and other contaminants do not enter thegas circulating system.
Replace the exhaust pump as follows (refer to the accompanying figure).
(1)Turn off the power to the CNC, then turn off the power to the laseroscillator. In addition, open the main circuit breaker for the laseroscillator.
(2)Drain the cooling water from the oscillator, then disconnect the twowater tubes.
(3)Disconnect the tubes from the pump outlet and inlet. Then, disconnectthe heavy--duty power cables from the terminal block on the side of thepump.
(4)Remove the bolts securing the exhaust pump unit, then remove thepump unit. Remove the bolts securing the pump to the mounting plate,then remove the pump.
(5)Position the new exhaust pump on the mounting plate, then secure thepump unit by reversing steps (2) to (4). The new pump may not befitted with gas and water joints. In such a case, remove the joints fromthe old pump, wind sealing tape around each joint, then fit them to thenew pump.Ensure that the terminal block is wired correctly. Incorrect wiring maycause the pump rotation to be reversed, causing the pump oil flow tobe reversed. Connect the cables, noting the alignment marks.
(6)Pumps are shipped without lubricating oil. Fill the pump withMatsumura Oil SA--H. Operating the pump without lubricating oilwill cause the thermal switch to trip, and will ultimately damage thepump.
(7)Close the main circuit breaker, turn on the power to the oscillator, thenturn on the power to the CNC. Then, perform a laser oscillator leakagetest and check the operation of the exhaust pump.When the power is first turned on, check that gas is output from the gasoutlet of the oscillator. The pump starts after gas has been dischargedfrom the external pipes for a few seconds. Gas being drawn into theoscillator, or abnormal noise, indicates that the pump rotation isreversed. In such a case, check the wiring of the terminal block.

The optical parts in the laser oscillator, including the output mirror, rearmirror, folding mirrors, and circular polarization mirror, must be cleanedor replaced periodically. Similarly, if the laser output or beam modepattern becomes abnormal, the optical parts must be cleaned or replaced.
When the output mirror, rear mirror, and folding mirrors are cleaned orreplaced, the discharge tubes are open to the atmosphere for a long time.Therefore, pay particular attention to the immediate surroundings toensure that dust does not enter the discharge tubes.
When cleaning and replacing the output and rear mirrors, deal with onemirror at a time. If both mirrors are removed at the same time, it mayprove impossible to attain the specified output level after they arereinstalled. As a result, the alignment work required after mirrorreplacement will become more difficult. Before removing the foldingmirrors, adjust the mode; it will subsequently be easier to performcorrection even if the folding mirrors are displaced.
To remove the folding mirrors, remove two or three mirrors at a time.Reduced output or the inability to attain a good mode pattern aftercleaning or replacement indicates that the folding mirrors are displaced.Perform adjustment using the micrometers of the folding mirrors.
Follow the cleaning procedure given below.

To clean the output mirror, follow the procedure given below. Since it isnecessary to touch the optical parts and vacuum parts while cleaning theoutput mirror, wear clean gloves or finger cots. Do not touch these partswith your bare hands.The output mirror is fabricated using a toxic material. Be careful not totouch the mirror with your bare hands. If you should touch it, wash yourhands thoroughly under clean running water.Before starting cleaning, wipe away any foreign matter from around theparts to be removed. If a removed part is inadvertently soiled, wipe itclean with ethyl alcohol.
[Procedure]
(1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then open the main circuit breaker orturn off the power supply of the laser oscillator.
(2) Remove the three beam cover mounting screws (M4 hexagon sockethead bolts), then remove the beam cover.
(3) When the pressure of the vacuum system of the oscillator is lowerthan the atmospheric pressure, it may prove impossible to remove theoutput mirror. Confirm that the oscillator is in the purge state andloosen the yellow and orange tube joints to allow the internal pressureof the vacuum system to equalize with the atmospheric pressure.If a negative pressure exists in the vacuum system, the atmosphericpressure sensor must be adjusted. (See Section 9.4.2.)
(4)Slightly loosen the mirror holder screw. Loosen the mirror holdermounting screw (M4 hexagon socket head bolt), and remove themirror holder from the alignment unit.
If the O--ring is so tight that the mirror holder cannot beremoved easily, insert the three M4 hexagon socket head boltsinto the beam cover mounting screw holes, and tighten themevenly. Then, it should be possible to remove the mirror holder.Note that unevenly tightening the three screws may damagethe O--ring.
(5) Remove the output mirror and O--ring from the mirror holder, andplace them on lens cleaning paper. To simply replace the outputmirror at this point, go to step (12).
(6) Place the mirror with its reflecting side (the side facing the dischargetubes) facing up. Gently blow clean air (using, for example, a camerablower) across the mirror surface to remove dust and dirt. Drop ethylalcohol or lens cleaner onto the mirror surface, moisten a cotton swabwith the fluid, and gently wipe any dirty areas.
(7) Place lens cleaning paper over the mirror, then spray ethyl alcohol orlens cleaner over the paper and mirror.

288
(8) Move the lens cleaning paper horizontally to and fro across themirror.
Since the lens cleaner has a high surface tension, it may bedifficult to move the cleaning paper. As the paper is slowlymoved to and fro across the mirror, however, the ethyl alcoholwill gradually evaporate.
(9) Blow clean air (using, for example, a camera blower) across themirror surface to completely evaporate the ethyl alcohol or lenscleaner.
(10) Repeat steps (7) to (9) until all dirt on the mirror surface has beenremoved. Finally, clean the mirror surface with ethyl alcohol.
(11) Check the transmitting side of the mirror. If its surface is dirty,perform steps (6) to (9) for the transmitting side also. Note that if anexcessive amount of ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner is applied, it mayflow around the back of the mirror, leading to contamination.
(12) Wipe the mirror holder and O--ring with ethyl alcohol.
(13) Reinstall the output mirror in the mirror holder, then insert theO--ring. When installing the output mirror, pay particular attentionto the mirror orientation. The reflecting plane (the plane indicatedby the arrow on the side of the mirror) must face the discharge tubes.The arrow is both scribed and marked with ink such that, even if theink is entirely removed, it will still be possible to find the scribedarrow. Align the arrow on the side of the output mirror with themirror holder position.
(14) Mount the mirror by reversing steps (2) to (4). Install the mirrorholder in the alignment unit so that the mark on the mirror holderfaces down.Tighten the mirror holder screw manually, then further tighten thescrew through approximately 30 degrees using a jig. If anappropriate jig is not available, use the key for the cabinet of theoscillator instead.
(15) Close the main circuit breaker or turn on the power supply of the laseroscillator, then turn on the power to the CNC.
(16) Perform a leak check. If the Setting value of the DGN905 (FS16--L,16i--L) or DGN860 (0--L) is 100 or less, tighten the mirror holderscrew again. In this case, loosen the mirror holder screw first, tightenthe screw manually, then tighten the screw through approximately 30degrees, using the jig.
(17) This completes cleaning and replacement.
(18) Perform discharge aging.
(19) Then, perform alignment.
NOTENever attempt to adjust any part other than the outputmirror.

To clean the rear mirror, follow the procedure given below. Since it isnecessary to touch optical parts and vacuum parts while cleaning the rearmirror, wear clean gloves or finger cots. Do not touch these parts directlywith your bare hands.Before starting cleaning, wipe away any foreign matter from around theparts to be removed. If a removed part is inadvertently soiled, wipe itclean with ethyl alcohol.
[Procedure]
(1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then open the main circuit breaker orturn off the power supply of the laser oscillator.
(2) Remove the power sensor mounting screw, then remove the powersensor.
(3) When the pressure of the vacuum system of the oscillator is lowerthan the atmospheric pressure, it may prove impossible to remove therear mirror. Confirm that the oscillator is in the purge state and loosenthe yellow and orange tube joints to allow the internal pressure of thevacuum system to equalize with the atmospheric pressure.If a negative pressure exists in the vacuum system, the atmosphericpressure sensor must be adjusted. (See Section 9.4.2.)
(4) Slightly loosen the mirror holder screw. Loosen the mirror holdermounting screw (M4 hexagon socket head bolt), and remove themirror holder from the alignment unit.
If the O--ring is so tight that the mirror holder cannot beremoved easily, insert the three M4 bolts into the beam covermounting screw holes, and tighten them evenly. Then, itshould be possible to remove the mirror holder. Note thatunevenly tightening the three screws may damage the O--ring.
(5) Remove the rear mirror and O--ring from the mirror holder, and placethem on lens cleaning paper. To simply replace the rear mirror at thispoint, go to step (12).
(6) Place the mirror with its reflecting side (the side facing the dischargetubes) facing up. Gently blow clean air (using, for example, a camerablower) across the mirror surface to remove dust and dirt. Drop ethylalcohol or lens cleaner onto the mirror surface, moisten a cotton swabwith the fluid, and gently wipe any dirty areas.
(7) Place lens cleaning paper over the mirror, then spray ethyl alcohol orlens cleaner over the paper and mirror.
(8) Move the lens cleaning paper horizontally to and fro across themirror.
Since the lens cleaner has a high surface tension, it may bedifficult to move the cleaning paper. As the paper is slowlymoved to and fro across the mirror, however, the ethyl alcoholwill gradually evaporate.

(11) Check the transmitting side of the mirror. If its surface is dirty,perform steps (6) to (9) for the transmitting side also. Note that if anexcessive amount of ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner is applied, it mayflow around the back of the mirror, leading to contamination.
(12) Wipe the mirror holder and O--ring with ethyl alcohol.(13) Reinstall the rear mirror in the mirror holder, then insert the O--ring.
When installing the rear mirror, pay particular attention to the mirrororientation. The reflecting plane (the plane pointed to by the arrowmarked on the side of the mirror) must face the discharge tubes. Thearrow is both scribed and marked with ink such that, even if the inkis entirely removed it will still be possible to find the scribed arrow.Align the arrow on the side of the rear mirror with the mirror holderposition.
(14) Mount the mirror holder by reversing steps (2) to (4). Install themirror holder in the alignment unit so that the mark on the mirrorholder faces down.Tighten the mirror holder screw manually, then further tighten thescrew through approximately 30 degrees using a jig. If anappropriate jig is not available, use the key for the cabinet of theoscillator instead.

To clean the folding mirrors, follow the procedure given below. Since itis necessary to touch the optical parts and vacuum parts while cleaningthe folding mirrors, wear clean gloves or finger cots. Do not touch theseparts with your bare hands.Before starting cleaning, wipe away any foreign matter from around theparts to be removed. If a removed part is inadvertently soiled, wipe itclean with ethyl alcohol.
[Procedure]
(1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then open the main circuit breaker orturn off the power supply of the laser oscillator.
(2) Loosen the mirror holder mounting screw, and remove the mirrorholder from the folding mirror unit. To simply replace the foldingmirror at this point, go to step (11).
(3) The folding mirror is attached to its holder using vacuum grease. Itis, therefore, very difficult to remove the mirror from its holder.Therefore, clean the folding mirror without removing it from itsholder.
(4) Place the mirror with its reflecting side facing up. Gently blow cleanair (using, for example, a camera blower) across the mirror surfaceto remove dust and dirt. Drop ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner onto themirror surface, moisten a cotton swab with the fluid, and gently wipeany dirty areas.
(5) Place lens cleaning paper over the mirror, then spray ethyl alcohol orlens cleaner over the paper and mirror.
(6) Move the lens cleaning paper horizontally to and fro across themirror.

(8) Repeat steps (4) to (7) until all dirt on the mirror surface has beenremoved.
(9) By using a cotton swab moistened with ethyl alcohol, clean that partof the alignment unit which touches the mirror. This is because flakesof coating may remain in this area. If the flakes of coating are notremoved, they may cause the mirror to become misaligned.
(10) Install the mirror holder by reversing steps (2) to (3). Insert the holderperpendicular to the alignment unit, so that the mirrors touch thealignment unit evenly. When tightening the fixing screws, tightenthem evenly in a crisscross sequence.

(11) When replacing a mirror, remove the mirror from its holder. Sincevacuum grease is applied to the rear of the mirror, insert a tool suchas a standard screwdriver into the slot on the side plane of the mirrormounting section, and pry out the mirror. Be careful not to applyexcessive force to the mirror holder.
(12) Apply a thin coat of vacuum grease to the rear of the new mirror. Inthose cases where the reflecting side of the mirror faces down, themirror will fall unless grease is applied.
(13) Place the mirror in its holder and, using a dryer, blow warm air ontothe holder to warm it. This will soften the vacuum grease and bondthe mirror onto the holder. Mount the mirror holder as explained instep (10).
(14) Turn on the main circuit breaker of the laser oscillator, then turn onthe power to the CNC.
(15) Perform a leak check.(16) This completes cleaning and replacement.(17) Perform discharge aging.(18) Then, perform alignment.

[Procedure]
(1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then open the main circuit breaker orturn off the power supply of the laser oscillator.
(2) Remove the mirror holder from the block (alignment unit) byloosening the mirror holder mounting screw.
(3) Remove the mirror from its holder, and place the mirror on lenscleaning paper. Be careful not to drop the mirror; although grease isapplied to the rear of the mirror, it is not physically attached to theholder.
(4) Place the mirror with its reflecting side facing up. Blow clean air(using, for example, a camera blower) across the mirror surface toremove dust and dirt. Drop ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner onto themirror surface, moisten a cotton swab with the fluid, and gently wipethe cotton swab over the mirror surface. Wipe the mirror dry withlens cleaning paper. Do not try to remove dust by rubbingvigorously; doing so is likely to damage the mirror.
(5) Place lens cleaning paper over the mirror, then spray ethyl alcohol orlens cleaner over the paper and mirror.
(6) Move the lens cleaning paper horizontally to and fro across themirror.
(7) Blow clean dry air across the mirror surface to completely evaporatethe ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner.
(8) Repeat steps (4) to (7) until all dirt on the mirror surface has beenremoved.
(9) Using a cotton swab moistened with ethyl alcohol, clean that part ofthe alignment unit which touches the mirror. This is because flakesof coating may remain in this area.
(10) After the completion of cleaning, reinstall the zero--shift mirror in itsholder, then install the mirror and holder. Slide the mirror into itsholder, bonding the mirror to the holder with vacuum grease.
(11) To replace a mirror with a new one, apply a thin coat of vacuumgrease to the rear of the new mirror, and install it in the holder.
(12) Close the main circuit breaker or turn on the power supply of the laseroscillator, then turn on the power to the CNC.
(13) Start the laser oscillator. Check the position of the output beam. Thischeck completes cleaning and replacement.

The internal surfaces of the output mirror and rear mirror are concave. Forlaser oscillation, the curvature centers and mirror surfaces of the twomirrors must lie on the same axis. When this axis matches the tube axisof the discharge tubes, in other words, when the laser beam reflected bythese mirrors passes through the center of the discharge tubes, the outputlevel is maximized, and symmetric beam mode and a round section areobtained.
The theory of alignment is such that while monitoring the output powerlevel with a tester, you adjust the angle of each mirror to obtain amaximum output power. Once this adjustment is made, all mirrors are setfor maximum output. So, if a mirror is misaligned, the original state ororiginal beam mode can be restored by adjusting the misaligned mirroronly to maximize the output power. Thus, with this method, modeadjustment is simple, and can be performed with a good reproducibility.
Section 11.2.1.1 describes the procedure for adjusting all mirrors of anoscillator not adjusted with this method, to obtain the maximum outputstate. This procedure takes a rather longer time. However, once thisadjustment is made, adjustment work required at the time of mirrorcleaning can be remarkably reduced.
Section 11.2.1.2 describes the maximum output state adjustmentprocedure required to correct an optical path shift caused by a resonatordistortion during transmission or installation.
Section 11.2.1.3 describes the adjustment procedure at the time of mirrorcleaning for an oscillator adjusted to the maximum output state accordingto Section 11.2.1.1 or Section 11.2.1.2.

(1)Minimize the output power of internal discharge. If a large output isused, the mode present when a maximum power is obtained is notalways the best mode due to thermal distortion of each mirror.However, a capability of detecting an output variation due to baseoutput fluctuation, tester resolution, chiller temperature, and so forthis required, so that an output power of about 1,000 W is adequate.
(2)Use a discharge area of 100% in the discharge tube. If the area isnarrow, the output variation dependent on a shift of the internal opticalaxis becomes small. So, with the C3000C and C3000D, use the baseconditions Pc = 3,000 W, Duty cycle = 30%, and Frequency = 100 Hz,and adjust the duty cycle to determine the actual conditions for internaldischarge. With the C6000B, the conditions will be Pc = 6,000 W andDuty cycle = about 15%.
(3)Start discharge, and obtain a maximum power when the output isstabilized after 5 minutes.
(4)Using mirrors A and B, and obtaining a maximum power based onmirror B by using mirror A as the referenceWhile turning mirror A in one direction in steps of an interval of theadjustment screw, for example, 0.5 division (5 µm) or 1 division (10µm), adjust mirror B for each division, and obtain a maximum powerat each point of mirror A. From data obtained at each point of mirrorA, determine a mirror A position representing a maximum power.Then, by aligning mirror A at such a position, adjust mirror B to obtaina maximum power. Two adjustment screws are provided for eachmirror. So, be sure to obtain a maximum power with one axis, thenobtain a maximum power with the other axis. Never move the X andY axes at the same time. The method of adjusting a folding mirrordepends on the model. See the description below.(a) C1500B, C2000B, C2000C
For each of the X and Y axes of the folding mirror (FM), anindependent adjustment screw is not provided. So, to makeadjustments in the X and Y directions, obtain a maximum powerby using two adjustment screws M and N.
(b) C3000C, C3000D, C6000BFor each of the X and Y axes of the folding mirror (FM), anindependent adjustment screw is provided. So, obtain a maximumpower by using an adjustment screw available for each axis. Forexample, when obtaining a maximum power with an output mirrorand folding mirror, make an X--axis adjustment by using (M) of thefolding mirror and (m) of the output mirror, then make a Y--axisadjustment by using (B) and (b).
(5)Method of output power measurementAn output power can be viewed by connecting a tester to the relayPCB. A voltage signal proportional to a power is output. See Section8.2.

(1)Attach an acrylic plate approximately 3 to 10 m from the outlet of thelaser oscillator, and obtain a burn pattern for the CO2 laser beam (oneshot, rated output, CW 100%, 0.1--second duration). Do not attemptto touch the plate immediately after the pattern has been obtained.
(2)By turning the X-- and Y--axis adjustment screws, align thesemiconductor laser beam with the center of the burn pattern obtainedin step (1).When using the A04B--0811--D401 (semiconductor laser unit), turnthe adjustment screws using a 2--mm hexagon wrench.
(3)After completing the adjustment, tighten the X-- and Y--axis clamps.(4)Compare the optical axis of the semiconductor laser beam with the
burn pattern of the CO2 laser beam, obtained approximately 1 m fromthe laser oscillator outlet. If the difference between the two beamcenters is within � 2 mm, the optical axis adjustment can be regardedas being successful.
(5) If an optical axis mismatch is detected in step (4), adjust the opticalaxis of the semiconductor laser beam by moving the plate and stageof the semiconductor laser unit. Then, repeat the adjustmentprocedure from step (2).
The diameter of the semiconductor laser beam can be adjusted by turningthe knurl of the semiconductor laser head. Thus, the pattern size, focallength, and so forth can be changed.
The semiconductor laser beam is factory set so that its pattern is circularhaving a diameter of 8.5 +1.0 --0 mm (at a distance of 2.6 m from the laseroscillator outlet), and is parallel (angle of beam divergence: 1.0 mrad) (forthe A50L--2001--0286 only).Normally no adjustment is required. If adjustment becomes necessary forsome reason, however, follow the procedure given below.
(1)Loosen the hexagonal setscrew or lock nut securing the knurl of thesemiconductor laser head.
(2)While checking the laser beam pattern, slowly turn the knurl or lenssection to obtain a required beam diameter.
(3)Secure the hexagonal setscrew or lock nut of the knurl.(4)After completing the adjustment, check that the semiconductor laser
beam has no focus at some point on the beam propagation path to themachining point, that is, that the laser beam does not narrow or widen.

The oscillators of the short optical path types and the C3000C of longoptical path type contain a beam folding unit to divert the laser beamwithin the oscillator. If the beam output direction changes as a result ofaligning the resonator, the beam folding unit must be adjusted.
The first mirror to reflect the laser beam from the output mirror is fixedand not movable. The second mirror is movable.
The movable mirror holder has adjustment screws for inclining the mirrorhorizontally and vertically, or adjustment screws for inclining the mirrorto the right and to the left. Never touch the fulcrum screw. This fulcrumis used to adjust the space between the holder and support to 3 mm.
First, adjust the beam so that it does not interfere with the resonatorfolding block and duct. This adjustment allows the beam to be outputfrom almost the center of the oscillator outlet.
Perform adjustment by following the procedure given below.
(1) Insert a target in the hole of the resonator folding block or circulatingpipe. If a target is not available, attach wires to indicate the center ofthe hole.
(2)Place an acrylic plate at the oscillator outlet, and blow air across it,using a dryer, for example.
(3)Start the oscillator to ready it for laser output.(4)Execute a program to output a laser beam of the rated output, CW
100%, and 0.1 second duration. Then, a mark like that of the target(crisscross) will appear on the acrylic plate.[Sample program]G32 P1 Q1 ;G24 S*** Q100 R0.1 ;G32 P0 ;
(5)While referencing the mark, turn the adjustment screws on the holderso that the beam center is aligned with the intersection of the crisscrossmark.
(6)Repeat steps (4) and (5) until the beam center is aligned with thecrisscross mark.Next, adjust the oscillator or bend mirror of the machine tool bymoving it so that the beam strikes the center of the bend mirror. Whenthis adjustment has been performed at installation, it subsequentlyneed not be performed.

FLT 1 : filter in power control valid (standard)0 : InvalidThis function is enabled when the power control function (bit 0 of PRMNo. 15000 [200]) is enabled. A specified feedrate is used as a feedrate forpower control, but the actual feedrate of the machine inacceleration/deceleration is generally lower than the specified value.With larger machines, the difference between the specified feedrate andactual feedrate is larger, so power control using a specified feedrate maybe degraded. This function is provided to bring the specified feedratecloser to the actual feedrate by approximating the transfer function of themachine to the primary system. When this bit is set to 1, the primary delayfilter is activated.
CLB 1 : Power compensation enabled (standard)0 : Power compensation disabledWhen this bit is set to 1, power compensation, which measures thevariation of oscillator power characteristics, is performed for the time (3minutes usually) set in PRM No. 15205 [3991] after turning on HV. Theactual power immediately before the termination of power compensationis compared with the specified power value, then the requiredcompensation is automatically set in PRM No. 15204 [241]. When thisbit is set to 0, power compensation is not performed. In this case, 1024 isautomatically set in PRM No. 15204 [241].

[SQ 10]This is the state after power is turned on in which intra--tube gas pressureequals atmospheric pressure.
[SQ16, 17, 18]Setting the laser start switch (RUN) to ON starts evacuation, whichcontinues until the pressure designated by PRM No. 15240 [235](evacuation completion pressure) is reached. As soon as this pressure hasbeen detected, gas pressure control is applied. Then, the intra--tubepressure increases to that designated by PRM No. 15241 [237] (intra--tubepressure setting at the start of discharge) and is stabilized there. Forty fiveseconds after the start of pressure control, the intra--tube pressure ischecked to confirm whether it conforms to the value set with PRM No.15241 [237], an error of � 20 (=� 266 Pa) being allowed. If the errorexceeds the allowable range, an alarm is issued. Once this check has beencompleted the turbo blower starts, reaching the specified speed withinabout 70 seconds. Once the specified speed has been reached, LRDY isset to 1, at which point the laser enters the discharge start preparationcompletion state. If the frequency reached signal is not issued by theinverter within 120 seconds of the turbo blower being started, an alarmis issued.
[SQ 20]This is the state of discharge start preparation completion (LRDY=1) andHV(high voltage command) is read.
[SQ 26, 27, 28]This sequence begins when HV is turned on after discharge startpreparation completion (LRDY=1).Applying high voltage leads to base discharge in the tube. Gas pressurecontrol begins simultaneously and the pressure changes from the value ofPRM No. 237 to the one of PRM No. 236 (intra--tube pressure at basedischarge). The error tolerance is � 100 (=� 1330 Pa). When it is so, thecalculation of power calibration coefficient begins and if not so alarmappears.
[SQ 30]This is oscillation preparation completion state(LSTR=1) in which laseroscillation is ready.
[SQ 23]By turning off HV, intra--tube pressure shifts from the value of PRM No.236 to the value of PRM No. 237. Here discharge is extinguished andlaser leaves oscillation preparation completion state and enters dischargestart preparation completion state.

[SQ49, 13, 12]In the SQ20 state, setting the laser start switch (RUN key) to OFFterminates gas pressure control, after which the turbo blower is shutdown, taking about 70 seconds to stop. If evacuation after RUN OFF hasbeen enabled, evacuation is performed for 15 minutes. Then, laser gas issupplied until the intra--tube pressure reaches atmospheric pressure. Oncethe atmospheric pressure sensor detects that the intra--tube pressure hasreached atmospheric pressure, the laser enters the PURGE state and thepurge lamp on the operator panel lights. Upon the completion of purge,the power--off interlock of the CNC is released, allowing the power to beturned off.

[SQ 291]When HV is turned on, high voltage is applied to discharge tubes andvoltage control begins. Here command is increased in ramp mode up tothe value of PRM 15220 [247] (maximum bias command at dischargestart). The time required to reach PRM 15220 [247] from HV on isdetermined to be 6 sec by software. Although tube voltage increasestogether with command, it drops immediately after the start of discharge.
[SQ 292]This sequence retains laser in discharge start waiting time (PRM15222[249]). During this time maximum bias command(PRM15220 [247]) iskept. Here all the tubes must be in discharge. The state of discharge ischecked by comparing tube voltage with discharge start voltage (PRM15221 [248]).
[SQ 293]When discharge start is confirmed in SQ 292, power command changesto PRM 15223 [250] (bias command).Here base discharge is establishedfor a while and the comparison between tube voltage and PRM 15270[199] (tube voltage in normal discharge) is done using the followingdecision equation.
V(n--1) -- Vn < PRM15272 [243] (1)V(n--1) : PRM No. 199 (tube voltage in normal discharge)Vn : Monitored voltage of tube No.1 (monitored voltage of
the tube of the smallest number)PRM15272 [243] : Tube voltage decrease limit
The decision of normal state is given by the holding of the inequality of(1). When normal, monitored voltage of No. 1 tube is set for PRM15270[199]. If PRM15000 bit 4 [200 bit 4] is 0 then, laser enters oscillationpreparation completion (LSTR) state.

[SQ 294]When normal base discharge is confirmed and PRM15000 bit 4 [200 bit4] is 1 (power calibration is done), this sequence begins to obtain powercalibration coefficient. Power calibration is to calibrate so that real andcommand powers become equal. The equation used is as follows.
PRM15204 [241] = Pc/Pa×1024 (2)PRM15204 [241] : Power calibration coefficientPc : Command powerPa : Actual power
The calibration coefficient is calculated by outputting the value specifiedwith PRM 15200 (power used for power calibration when half of thedischarge tubes are used) or PRM 15201 (power used for powercalibration when all the discharge tubes are used) [PRM 230 for twodischarge tubes][PRM 231 for four discharge tubes][PRM 232 for eightdischarge tubes] then assigning that value to the above equation. Theactual power measured three minutes after the start of output is used asPa.The difference between the specified power and actual power is alsomonitored. The laser is judged as being normal provided the differenceis less than the value specified with PRM 15271 [242] (power decreaselimit).The power calibration coefficient is clamped to the value specified forPRM 15203 [240] (power calibration limit).Once the above procedure has terminated normally, the laser enters theLSTR state.

In order to begin discharge, power command is increased in ramp modeby BIAS COMMAND. This ramp input is clamped by the value of PRM15220 [247] (maximum bias command in discharge start). The timerequired to reach peak value is 6 sec. During this time discharge takesplace. Intra--tube voltage decreases, upon discharge start, and then takesa constant value. The BIAS COMMAND after reaching peak is retainedfor the time designated by PRM15222 [249] (discharge start waitingtime). Then the comparison is made between intra--tube voltages andPRM 15221 [248] (discharge start voltage). If the monitored voltage islower than PRM15221 [248], discharge is confirmed. When this normal
