ML-2350AF/2351AF
Thank you for purchasing our YAG Laser Welder ML-2350AF/2351AF.
ML-2350AF-CE and ML-2351AF-CE are the air-cooled versions of the standard
ML-2350A-CE and ML-2351A-CE, respectively. This operation manual describes only the
difference of the air-cooled versions from the standard ones.
See the operation manual of the standard version for how to use, such as operation
method.

1. Difference from the Standard Specifications
The laser power supply, oscillator head and cooler are accommodated in one body.
Transportation and installation are easy because the piping for city water is not
necessary.
The air-cooled system does not waste water resources.
How to operate is just the same as the standard ML-2350A-CE and ML-2351A-CE.

Max. input current 6.5A
Max. apparent power 4.5kVA
Power consumption Maximum: 3.5kW / Stand-by: 0.49kW
Breaker rated current (to
be supplied by customers)
For the power supply side, we earnestly recommend
using a leakage breaker with the rated current of 10 A
or more, which is applicable to harmonics and surges.
Ground Class C (ground resistance: 10 Ωmax.)
Cooler
Heat exchange method Forced air-cooled
Operating room
temperature
5°–30°C (40°C max. cooling water temp.)
The temperature may varies depending on LAMP
INPUT POWER (%) of 80% or higher and installation
conditions. Refer to the Cooling Capability Chart below.
(Provide the provision to measure the difference
between room and coolant temperatures.)
NOTE: Heat of 2.5 kW (2150 kcal/h) is discharged for the maximum rating.
The ML-2350AF/2351AF eliminates city water to improve the factory environment.

Controller
MLE-118A
Schedule setting
Up to 32 schedules can be set by combining
・Laser output waveform
・Laser energy for upper/lower limit judgment
・Number of outputs per second
・Number of repeated outputs
Measurement function Laser energy (J)
Average power (W)
Counter Displays total number of outputs (9 digits)
Displays the number of acceptable outputs (9 digits)
Length of cable Standard 3m cable
Others Mass Approx. 250
kg
Dimensions 990 (H) x 521.1 (W) x 995 (D) mm
*1) Under the condition that laser output energy is at least 5 J per pulse and peak power is at
least 1
kW.
②Cooling Capability
The chart at left depicts the
cooling capability at 100%
duty cycle. Do not use in
room temperature exceed-
ing the line shown.
See the examples below
for less than 100% duty
cycle:
[Example 1]
Letting LAMP INPUT POWER be 60%, and “1-s laser output—2-s pause” be repeated.
60 x 1/3 = 20
LAMP INPUT POWER of 20% gives the room temperature of about 36C.
Keep room temperature 36C or less.
[Example 2]
Letting LAMP INPUT POWER be 80%, and “3-s laser output—2-s pause” be repeated.
80 x 3/5 = 48
LAMP INPUT POWER of 48% gives the room temperature of about 33.5C.
Keep room temperature 33.5C or less.

3. Maintenance
(1) Maintenance Parts and Standard Intervals of
Inspection/Replacement
In addition to maintenance parts for the standard model, perform inspection
periodically referring to the following table.
Part name Model No. Item No. Operation interval
(standard) (*1)
Contents of
operation (*2)
Air filter (side) Z-01641-001 1018369 Every week Clean
1 year Replace
*1: The operation interval means the maintenance time or expected life of the part,
and is different from the guarantee period.
*2: Part replacement is performed when any damage or defect is found or the
usable period ends.
