8 Instruction Manual
The optic system is created with the tube, its mirrors, the
lens and the beam combiner. The function
of this system is to direct the radiation originating in
the laser tube up to the head by means of the mirrors and
to concentrate the energy at the cutting point by means of
the 2 inclus lens. The beam combiner allows having a
visual reference of the exact position of the beam during
the path.
The laser beam moves in the work plane from the action
of the motors for the X, Y guides.
Primary Systems for the BCN3D IGNIS

Work platform and the Z axis
Ventilation and refrigeration
integrated system
The parts for cutting or scanning are placed on the
Honeycomb, which are extractable to clean the cube.
The Z axis moves vertically, is motorized and works to
position the part to the correct height for the task.
This positioning is completed automatically with
the “Autofocus” function. The length of the z axis is
290mm.
BCN3D Ignis comes with an integrated ventilation
system with a turbine. This system is located in the
interior of the machine and is controlled by the system
itself. BCN3D Ignis has air vents on the upper case, thus
creating a continuous flow for extracting air.
The ventilation system guarantees an efficient
extraction of dust and gases that are formed while
operating a cut, mark and scanning.
The water refrigeration system allows the laser tube
to work in ideal conditions, lengthening the maximum
lifespan.

Security components
Security
Before starting up the machine, you must read the present instructions manual and, in
particular, the portion on “WARNINGS”.
In addition to reading the present manual, you must obtain the basic information for the laser
security before handling the machinery.
Any use that has not considered the present manual will be inappropriate and may cause
dangerous situations and run the risk of bodily harm and/or material damages.
The machine should only be used by authorized per-
sonnel who have specific training, who can work in the
industrial or non-industrial environment, by persons of
an age equal to or greater than 18 years old and with
minimum height of 2 meters with raised hands.
Any presence of external people or those without
training should be considered if close to the danger area
around the machine. It is recommended that the opera-
tion area of the machine be perfectly marked out, thus
allowing access only to authorized personnel.
BCN3D IGNIS is equipped with a security anchoring
system, whose function is to prevent any radiation from
accessing the danger area during the entire process
when the laser is active and guarantee that the machine
does not cause any risk during the tasks of supplying
and handling pieces. Other security components are:
