3.1. General
Operators must carefully read through this chapter before operating this
machine tool and carrying out routine maintenance, to learn about machine tool
safety measures and requirements and to comply with relevant safety
precautions.
3.2. Relevant safety standards and basic knowledge
Laser machining equipment and operation shall comply with the following
two standards: GB7247-87 Laser Products - Radiation Safety, Equipment
Classification, Requirements and User Guide and GB10320-88 Electrical Safety
of Laser Equipment and Installations.
Basic knowledge of laser:
Laser cutting process
Under the excitation and drive of the CNC program, the laser generator
generates a specific mode and type of laser transmitted to the cutting head
through fiber optic and converged on the workpiece surface to melt the metal. At
Page28
Automation
the same time, the nozzle ejects auxiliary gas from the direction parallel to the
laser beam to blow away the slag. Driven by the program-controlled servo motor,
the cutting head moves along the predetermined route to cut workpieces into
various shapes.
Laser cutting features
The narrow kerf of laser cutting is conducive to the small workpiece
deformation with the laser beam focused into a small light spot to improve the
power density. At this time, the heat input by the laser beam far exceeds that
reflected, conducted or diffused by the material. The material is quickly heated
to vaporize and evaporate to form holes. With the relative linear movement of
the laser beam and the material, the holes are connected with a narrow kerf. The
inapparent heat effect on edge leads to basically no workpiece deformation.
Laser cutting advantages
Laser cutting is a small spot with high energy and good density
controllability formed after focusing the non-contact machining laser beam,
which is beneficial to the cutting process. The laser light energy is converted
into an amazing amount of heat energy, which can be maintained in a very small
zone, providing:
(1) Narrow straight edge kerf;
(2) Minimum heat-affected zone adjacent to edge cutting;
Page29
Automation
(3) Minimal local deformation;

3.5 Laser and cutting safety
Page32
Automation
The laser is mainly harmful to eyes and skin. Any part of human body
irradiated by the laser will be burnt. It is prohibited to place any part of the
body in the optical path of laser device to prevent from injury caused by
misoperation. At the same time, laser protective glasses must be worn during
operation.
Skin burns Eye injuries
Under laser irradiation, there will be burns, rashes, blisters, and
pigmentation on skin, and even the subcutaneous tissues will be completely
damaged.
The eye is the most sensitive organ of the body to laser line. The energy
density on the retina can be increased by 105 times due to the focusing effect of
the eyeball on the light. Therefore, the low-dose irradiation can cause serious
damage to the retina, and impaired vision or even blindness.
Eye and skin protection
During laser machining, the fiber laser may damage the retina of the eye.
The wavelength of fiber laser has high transmittance to the eye, so it is also
Page33
Automation
more harmful. The laser irradiation may cause cataract of eyes and burn to skin.
It is therefore important to use appropriate protection when adjusting the laser
depending on the type of laser.
The laser protection glasses are only effective for specific wavelengths.
When the proper laser protection glasses are selected, the following information
is necessary:
1. Laser characteristics: the output wavelength and power of the laser.
2. Optical density (OD): the higher the OD value, the stronger the protective
ability of laser protective glasses.
3. Visible light transmittance (VLT): when the VLT value is less than 20%, the
laser protection glasses can only be used in a well-lit environment.
4. Frame: whether the myopia glasses is worn, and what's the facial contour
like.
Fire protection
Page34
Automation
During laser cutting, the oxygen is often used, and the sparks fly, so it is
easy to cause fire by oxygen. Therefore, there shall be no flammable and
explosive materials in the work area, relevant protection facilities shall be
provided in place, and the surrounding area shall be equipped with exit and fire
extinguishers.
3.6 Electrical safety
1. Do not use wet hands to touch any switches to prevent from electric
shock. If a lightning sign is fixed in any part of machine tools, it means
such part is a high voltage electrical equipment or element. Therefore,
operators shall take extra cautions when approaching these parts or
opening for maintenance to prevent from electric shock. For example,
protective cover for servo motor, machine tool transformer cabinet,
electrical cabinet door, etc.;
Page35
Automation
2. Read thoroughly and carefully the user manual and electrical schematic
diagram of machine tools to comprehend various functions and
operation methods of relevant keys;
3. Do not open the electrical cabinet door in normal case. Alternation or
increase of set machine tool parameters and servo parameters without
permission is strictly prohibited. Any alternation, if necessary, must be
carried out by the professionals who have been trained and certified by
the device manufacturer. In addition, the original parameters must be
recorded before the alternation so the original status can be restored
when necessary;
4. Do not touch charged elements in the electrical cabinet under the
electrified status, e.g. CNC device, servo device, transformer, fan, etc.
Wait for more than five minutes after power off before touching the terminal.
There is high voltage between the power line terminals for a period of time
after the power is cut off. Therefore, do not touch the terminal immediately to
prevent from electric shock.
3.7. Protection measures for machine
1. Safety administrator shall be appointed with specified range of
responsibilities. The laser processing operators shall be provided with
safety operation and safety protection training.
2. Laser safety management zone shall be set with warning sign marked
with the following contents at its entrance: power of the laser

pressure detection switch value to 0.1 MPa; set the value of high-pressure
nitrogen pressure detection switch to about 1.5 MPa.
② Set the low nitrogen pressure alarm signal: set the gas pressure value to 1
MPa on the nitrogen meter, and make it just in the alarm state (if the red line is
adjusted to about 1.5 MPa, that is, the gas pressure is less than 1 MPa, an alarm
will be given) by adjusting the gas pressure value of the high-pressure nitrogen
pressure detection switch. Please refer to the following figure for specific
settings:
Adjust the red line to

about 1.5 Pa
③ Set the low oxygen pressure alarm signal: set the gas pressure value to 0.1
MPa on the nitrogen meter, and make it just in the alarm state (that is, the
oxygen pressure is less than 0.1 MPa, an alarm will be given) by adjusting the
gas pressure value of the high-pressure nitrogen pressure detection switch.
Please refer to the following figure for specific settings:

MPa
6.2.4 Oxygen and nitrogen pressure correction
1. Oxygen pressure correction: In the oxygen gas correction column, select the
voltage value on the left in turn without blowing oxygen, observe the stable
gas pressure value of the oxygen digital display meter, and then enter the gas
pressure value on the right. Note: The gas pressure unit of the digital display
Page103
Automation
meter is MPa, and the gas correction pressure unit is Bar (as shown in the
figure below, the gas pressure value is only for reference).
2. Nitrogen pressure correction: Since there is no nitrogen digital display meter,
the specific pressure value of nitrogen can not be observed, so rise the
pressure in sequence with equal differential pressure value in the nitrogen
pressure correction column.
Precautions:
Prepare N2 or O2, and compressed air for cutting. Firstly, check whether
the nameplate on the cutting gas cylinder is in compliance with the gas
requirements for the machine tool. For example, purity and pressure
requirements for N2 or O2. Secondly, connect the gas from the gas cylinder to
the machine tool with correct method, and turn on the coupling valve on the gas

Automation
cylinder gradually. An oil-water separator shall be added between the oil-free air
compressor and the refrigerant dryer.
6.3 Optical path adjustment
6.3.1 Coaxial adjustment
Adjustment of coaxiality of nozzle hole and laser beam shall be as follows:
1) Stick transparent adhesive tape on the nozzle opening, as shown in the
figure.
2) Set "Spot Shooting Frequency" at 10%-20%, and press "Spot Shooting".
Remove the transparent tape and keep its direction so that it can be compared
with the nozzle, as shown in Fig. 5-17.
If the center point is larger or smaller, pay attention to whether the
conditions are consistent and whether the focusing lens is loose. Under normal
circumstances, a small spot will be left on the transparent adhesive tape, which
is burned by the laser. However, if the nozzle center deviates too much from the
laser center, this spot will not be visible (the laser beam hits the nozzle wall).

The cutting head protects three groups of lenses, namely
collimating lens, focusing lens, and protective lens. If
the lenses are polluted, the cutting process will be
greatly affected. Therefore, when the lens is polluted, it
must be cleaned or replaced in time.
At present, the customer is only authorized the use and maintenance of the
cutting head protective lens!
Page110

7.2 Influence of focal spot and gas pressure on process
Relative position of the focus and material surface has great impact on the
kerf, including the kerf width, appearance of the kerf side wall, etc. The focus
position can be above the material, on the top surface, inside the material or on
the underside surface.

When the focal length is normal,

the upper and lower faces of the
cut workpiece are flat and
smooth without burrs, and the
cutting cross section is bright
without patterns.
When other conditions remain

unchanged, if the focal length is
too short, there will be a large
amount of slag hanging under
the cut workpiece, and the
stripes under the cutting cross
section are very obvious, which

Functions of nozzle:
Page112
Automation
① To prevent contaminating the focusing lens from the rebound of foreign
matters like molten stains back to the nozzle;
② Control the cutting quality with limited gas diffusion area and size.
7.4 Influence of cutting speed on process
Judge whether the feed speed can be increased or slowed down from the cutting
spark
1. If it is at normal cutting speed, the sparks diffuse from top to bottom;
2. If the cutting speed is too fast, the sparks incline;
3. If the cutting speed is too slow, sparks do not diffuse, and there are a few
sparks gather together;
Appropriate feed speed

Page113
Automation
As shown in this figure, the cutting face presents a relatively stable line, and
there is no molten stain on the lower half.
7.5 Influence of assist gas on cutting quality
Function of gas: Gas is conducive to heat dissipation and combustion and helps
to blow off the molten stains and improves the quality of cutting face.
Judge whether the cutting gas pressure can be increased or decreased from the
cut workpiece:
1. Insufficient gas pressure will cause molten stains on the cutting face to limit
the cutting speed and affect the efficiency;
2. Excessive pressure of the gas supply will lead to relatively coarse cutting
face and wide cutting kerf causing the cut part partially melted and unable to
form a good cutting quality;
Page114
Automation
Influence of assist gas on piercing:
1. Piercing becomes difficult and takes longer time in over-low gas pressure.
2. The piercing point will be melted to cause big melting points in over-high
gas pressure. Therefore, the pressure for piercing on thin plates is high and
that on thick plates is low.
7.6 Laser power has a decisive influence on the cutting process and quality
1. The power is too low to cut:
2. The power is too high so that the whole cutting face melts:
3. The power is appropriate, so the cutting face is good without molten stains:
Page115
Automation
7.7 Treatment of problems of cutting process
Adjust the parameters appropriately according to the machining conditions,
and all parameters are not fixed. Before adjusting the parameters, the following
points shall be ensured:
1. The focusing lens, collimating lens and protective lens must be checked to
ensure that they are not polluted;
2. At the same time, check whether the optical path is corrected and whether
the nozzle is worn;
3. After replacing the nozzle, corresponding calibration must be carried out to
ensure that the cutting height is normal;
4. The gas purity and pressure meet the corresponding cutting requirements;
5. Be clear about the properties of the material to be machined, whether the
laser device power and performance meet the machining requirements.
Copper, aluminum and other materials are materials with
high reflectivity. During cutting with laser beam, the
Page116
Automation
service life of the optical system will be shortened with
part of the laser reflected back. When cutting aluminum
and corresponding pipes, it is recommended to monitor
the laser machining process. The softer and purer the
aluminum alloy is, the more difficult it is to adapt to laser
cutting, and there will be burrs when cutting thicker
aluminum pipes. In addition, the cutting speed also needs
to be adjusted accordingly.
7.8 Cutting process adjustment
Oxygen cutting:
In the case of oxygen cutting, the roundness of the nozzle aperture are highly
specified, and the cutting quality will be seriously affected in the case of groove
or irregular circle.
When cutting 10 MM carbon steel with oxygen,

the thickness of the cut bright face also increases
with the increase of power. At present, the power
of 3,000 W can achieve 80 MM carbon steel bright
Fig. 1 (8 MM carbon steel bright surface cutting; ensuring the following points can
surface cutting) achieve normal cutting effect:
Page117
Automation
① Ensure the purity of the gas (above 99.95%);

② Ensure the concentricity of the inner core of
the nozzle (at the same time, it is also necessary to
ensure that the laser is coaxial in the center of the
nozzle);
③ Control the range value of power (cut with
normal reduced peak power)
④ Ensure that the focal spot is within the cutting
range (With the increase of the thickness of the
bright face, the focal spot also needs to be raised,
at the same time, expand the cutting gap so that the
gas can diffuse more evenly into the cutting gap,
and the defocusing of different plate thicknesses
will also increase progressively. Suppose that 8
MM carbon steel is cut with 3,000 W, and the focal
spot is at +3. At this time, the focal spot is required
to be raised to +3~+3.5 in case of cutting 10 MM
carbon steel.);
⑤ Control the speed corresponding to different
plate thickness (when cutting bright faces, the feed
speed is also very important).
It can be seen from Fig. 2 that the effect is very

different from that in Fig. 1. There are very heavy
sawtooth on the upper stripe, and slag appears on
the lower stripe (the slag can not be removed). The
reasons are as follows:
① The power is not controlled within the
thickness range (corresponding power control is
required for cutting the bright faces of carbon steel
with different thickness);
② Insufficient nozzle coaxiality
③ Gas pressure greater than that for normal
Fig. 2 (8 MM carbon steel) cutting (The gas pressure when cutting the upper
stripe exceeds the range of gas pressure for normal
cutting may also lead to heavy stripe with
sawtooth. At the same time, it will also lead to
uneven spark blowing of the lower stripe, resulting
in serious dragging and slag hanging);
④ Focal spot control (When cutting 8 MM carbon
steel with 3000 W in normal case, the focal spot
shall be at +3~+3, otherwise, the situation in Fig. 2
Page118
Automation
may occur).
It can be seen from Fig. 3 that the slag is not

completely blown away, and the bottom is
obviously dragged heavily. Fig. 4 shows more
clearly that the whole workpiece is not cut
through, and the molten iron at the bottom is
completely welded at the cutting gap, and the
reasons are as follows:
① Speed feeding (The corresponding cutting
effect can be achieved only when the speed is fed
in combination with the corresponding power and
Fig. 3 (10 MM carbon steel) plate thickness. When cutting 8 MM carbon steel
at 3000 W, the speed is controlled at 2.16 M/min,
which can achieve the ideal cutting state).
② Power matching (Under the condition of
different power, cut the corresponding thickness
bright face with different power, for example,
6,000 W can achieve 12 MM carbon steel full
bright surface cutting, 8,000 W can achieve 16
Fig. 4 (10 MM carbon steel) MM full bright surface cutting, 10,000 W can
achieve 18 MM full bright surface cutting, and
12,000 W can achieve 20 MM full bright surface
cutting).
High power nitrogen cutting:
At present, when cutting thick stainless steel plate

with high power, this situation generally occurs for
the following reasons:
① Focal spot control (the focal spot is not pressed
down enough).
② Excessive duty cycle (When cutting thick
stainless steel plates with high power, it is not the
case that the better performance comes with the
greater power, but the duty cycle is mainly
adjusted according to the overall cutting stripe).
Fig. 5 (8 MM stainless steel)
③ The gas pressure fluctuates.
④ The speed should match the duty cycle power
(The speed needs to match the duty cycle.
Over-fast speed will lead to incomplete cutting,
and the over-slow speed will lead to the longer
Page119
Automation
burr at the lower part).
Fig. 6 shows the effect of cutting with current

plate thickness at normal focal spot: the stripes are
vertical and uniform, and the bottom stripes are
directly vertical to the bottom. Fig. 7 clearly
shows that the whole workpiece can be seen from
the bottom, and the hanging slag extends from the
stripe end, which is very difficult to deal with; at
the same time, it can be seen that the whole
cutting cross section is not very uniform, and
some parts are not cut through at the lower 1/3
position, and the reasons are as follows:
Fig. 6 (8 MM stainless steel) ① Focal spot control (The focal spot needs to be
adjusted according to the current plate thickness,
and more focal spot is pressed down with the
thicker the plate)
② Excessive speed (The speed needs to match
the duty cycle. Over-fast speed will lead to
Fig. 7 (8 MM stainless steel) incomplete cutting, and the over-slow speed will
lead to the longer burr at the lower part).
③ Incorrect nozzle selection (Select the nozzle
according to the plate thickness to ensure that the
gas is blown more smoothly. Over-small size of
the nozzle will lead to the gas pressure not emitted
in time).

8.3.3 Antifreeze maintenance of laser device
The specific maintenance of the laser device is mainly based on the
instructions of the selected laser device.
Antifreeze must be used when power failure occurs frequently in the
operating environment or when daily draining of the coolant is not available. As
a general rule, base of the antifreeze is generally composed of alcohols and
water, and it is required that the antifreeze shall have high boiling point and
flash point, high specific heat and conductance capacity, low viscosity at low
temperature, low foaming, and will not cause corrosion of metal parts, rubber
hoses, etc. When selecting or preparing the antifreeze, its freezing point should
be 5°C lower than the lowest temperature of the environment.

Page136
Automation
Use special antifreeze of professional brand:
CLARIANT brand is recommended. There are two models of antifreeze
suitable for the laser system:
1) Antifrogen®N ethylene glycol-water type (industrial grade, toxic to
humans)
2) Antifrogen®L propylene glycol-water type (food grade, harmless to
humans)
Any antifreeze can not completely substitute deionized water
and can not be used for a long time throughout the year, and the
use volume accounts for 10%-20% of the volume of the water
tank, which can not exceed 20%. After winter, the tubes must be
cleaned with deionized water or purified water, and the use of
deionized water or purified water as coolant should be resumed.
8.3.4 Anti-condensation maintenance of laser device in summer
Because the laser device has higher requirements for the operating
environment, and in order to protect the laser device in summer and prevent the
laser device from being damaged by the condensation due to excessive
differences between the laser device and external environment temperature, the
maintenance as mentioned below shall be followed while using the laser device
in summer:
Page137
Automation
※ Provide a separate air-conditioning room with a temperature of 25°C for
the laser device. Improve the external working environment of the laser device
and keep the laser device working in a dry and constant temperature
environment.
※ It is recommended that the customer purchase a temperature and
humidity instrument and place it in the fiber laser air conditioning room to
monitor the temperature and humidity in the air conditioning room.
※ Adjust the temperature of the cooler according to the ambient
temperature. Set the high temperature to 28°C-32°C and the low temperature to
25°C-29°C.
※ Strictly implement the startup and shutdown sequence of optical fiber
laser machine
A. Boot sequence
(1) Turn on the main power switch of the laser device and run the
cabinet air conditioner or dehumidifier for more than 30 minutes;
(2) After turning on the laser device for 30 minutes, turn on the power
switch of the chiller.
B. Shutdown sequence
(1) Turn off the power switch of the chiller;
(2) Turn off the laser device power switch.

8.3.5 Maintenance of air compressor
For customers cutting with air, in order to ensure that the air compressor
provides clean and pure air free of water, oil and other impurities, the air
compressor must be regularly contacted with the air compressor manufacturer
for maintenance. The engine oil of the new machine shall be replaced every 500
hours, and the style, engine oil and other consumables shall be replaced every
2500-3000 hours.
8.3.6 Anti-reflection precautions
In case of cutting aluminum, aluminum alloy, brass, red copper and other
high reaction material pipes, please contact our professionals for guidance. High
pressure nitrogen must be used to cut aluminum, aluminum alloy and brass
materials, and the pressure must be more than 16 KG. High pressure oxygen
must be used to cut red copper, and the pressure must be more than 16 KG.
8.3.6 Maintenance of support strip
Maintain the support strip of the worktable. In order to ensure that the
support strip can support the plate horizontally and effectively, the support strip
must be maintained regularly. For example, the support strip in the following
figure must be maintained immediately. The maintenance method of the support
strip is to import the manufacturer's factory backup support strip drawing, select
the plate with the plate thickness marked on the drawing to cut a new support
strip and replace the damaged one.
