Brief Introduction of Laser Engraving Cutting
Machine
ISafety Knowledge
1.1 Basic Information
Make sure that the operator is being trained before operating the machine.
Operator must be aside the machine during machine working. Never leave the
machine alone in case to cause unnecessary loss.
1.2 Optical Security
Our laser equipment adopts the forth laser tube.Length of laser beam is 10.6μm. During
machine working, we recommend people related to wear authorized laser safety goggles.
Do not stare at the laser beam or anything beam reflected.
1.3 Electricity Security
Before connecting electricity, please check carefully the requirements on the
equipment's name plate, such as power,working voltage and so on.
Without our permission, please don't dismantle electrical apparatus elements on the
equipment, especially do not touch laser power and laer tube during machine
working. Because the equipment has fatal voltage when working, and danger can
still exist after disconnecting electricity.
1 Harm
Various potentially dangerous substance can be eliminated through ventilation system
during plastic material cutting. If smog or smell is too heavy, gas mask is needed.
2 Other Harm
Out of security consideration, equipment modification is forbidden without the
permission from the Manufacturer.

2.2.4 Optical System
Attention:
The laser tube is fragile. It should be taken slightly. Water inlet of the laser tube should be
in the lower place, and water outlet be in the higher place(reci laser tube), so there won't
be any bubble. The laser tube socket should be installed with even force which can just
make the tube secure. Do not overexert, it may crush the laser tube.
Attention:
The front surface of reflection mirror should be faced to the laser outlet.

Attention:
The working-voltage of high-tension cable can be higher than 100,000V.There can be
strong static electricity even when the power was cut-off in short time. Please do not
touch the cable directly.

Attention:
Before working, please adjust the focal length. Put the focal length in the middle of
working material and laser outlet before working. Convex surface should be faced to working

III Equipment Installation
3.1 Installation Preparation
3.1.1 Preparation for workplace
Make sure the working area is dry enough. And any electromagnetism, strong power,
pollution is forbidden. Temperature of working environment should be 10℃to 38℃,
humidity should be 10- 90%. AC 220V±10%, 50HZ, resistance to ground less than 5Ω.
3.1.2 Preparation for operator
We demand the operator must be professional technician. If the users want to install the
equipment on their own, they need to have training from our technicians and completely
master the knowledge of installation.
3.1.3 Preparation for tools
There is already a tool box with this machine. Besides, multimeter and screwdriver and
other detection tools are needed.
3.1.4 Other preparation
The users need to prepare relevant material,including purified water or distilled water for
water chiller, power strip, computer,pipe for discharge smoke, sample material, etc.
Attention: The users need to accompany all the time when our technicians install the
equipment. The users need to grasp the skills of installation and commissioning which
are the part of training.
3.2 Installation procedure
3.2.1 Package of laser tube
Laer tube package:
In case of damage during transportation or outside force, the tube is packed with sponge.
And two ends of tube are sealed with zip lock bag to prevent the mirror from pollution or
scratch. Finally, the tube is built up with sponge supports to prevent tube have direct
contact with surrounding.

User Manual for BCL-X Series Laser Machine

Laser tube devanning:
Open the carton box, take out the laser tube. Both hands hold the middle of the tube; take
off the sponge supports; take off the packing sponge; take off the zip lock bag. Then
inspect whether the tube is intact.
Attention: It needs as least two persons when unboxing. Handle the tube with care.
3.2.2 Installation of Laser tube
Move the equipment to the back place, so as to install the laser tube easily.
The laser tube is installed in the back of crossbeam.Open the laser tube protective cover.
You can see two laser supports, two water pipes, a black color low-tension line and a red
color high-tension line.
Low-tension line High-tension line
Laser tube installation:
1.Take off the screw from the two laser support which are used for fitting the laser tube.
2.Put the outlet(low-tension part) of the laser tube on the base facing to the first reflected
mirror.
3.Buckle the upper part of the laser tube support, tighten the screw, connect the
high-tension&low-tension line and outlet&inlet water tube.
4.Fix the laser tube.
Attention:
Keep the laser tube outlet clear in case of front mirror breakdown. The broken
damage caused by improper operation, will not be in Bodor's range of protection.
Fix the laser tube with proper strength. Larger strength will broke the laser tube.
Keep the laser tube water inlet in the lower place, and the water outlet in
the higher place(in the upper section of laser tube). Come in from the bottom, out
from the top as shown in the above picture.
Water tube joints must be connect well avoiding water leaking. Water tube must be
straightened.
Handle laser tube carefully when installing.High-tension wire and cathode rays
should be fastened enough.Water inlet should be in the bottom and water outlet in the
top. Make sure there is no air bubble in the laser tube. Use even force on the two
sides when pushing laser tube sockets to fix the laser tube. Do not use too much
force avoiding the damage of laser tube.

3.2.3 Installation of Water Chiller
▲ First take down the cover of water inlet on the top of the chiller. Pour purified water or
distilled water into the water tank until it is full.
▲ Then complete the connection of water cycle pipelin by connecting the water outlet of
the chiller with the water inlet of the machine, and the water inlet of it with the water
outlet of the machine.
▲ Finally, connect the holding wire and the water chiller power line.
Pressing the rocker switch after electrifying the chiller, you can hear sound like
"didi...".Then the water in the tube will flow from high-tension terminal to low-tension
terminal. Then the green indicator light on water chiller will be on. The system works
well if the alarm does not ring.
Attention:
When working, the water must flow from the high-tension to the low-tension.
Otherwise, it may damage the laser tube.
When the power is on, the bubble in the tube can be removed by extruding the water
pipe or turning the laser tube.
When machine is working or shut down, please do not touch the high-tension line. It
may still have high power and may threat to life.

3.2.4 Installation of Exhaust Fan and Air Pump
Installation of Exhaust Fun
Connect the air inlet of the fan with exhaust port by the air duct and screw tightly with
spanner. Then connect the outlet of the fan by the other air duct and lead it out of the
room. The installation is as shown in the below.

Installation of Air Pump
Insert the silicone tube into the air-inlet by an air tube. Then connect the power and make the smooth
air-out of the air entry in the leaser head as shown in the below picture.
Air pump (air compressor) is very important in the system. High-pressure air sprays from
the light outlet of laser head through air tube. On one hand, it can keep the focus lens
clear enough. On the other hand, it can prevent working material from burning. Please
make sure the rubber tube is intact during machine working. Otherwise it may cause
burning of the materials.

3.3 Grounding Connection
Grounding requirements for the equipment are very strict. Your local electric system
must meet the local electric security standard.
L : 220V Live line; Phase line
N : Zero Line, compose the electric system together with phase line
E: Grounding line, connect every grounding part of electricity consuming
accessories,resistance to ground should be less than 4 Ω
Attention：
Nonstandard grounding may lead to high failure rate and other security accidents. All
these are not in the range of Bodor's protection.
