LONGER LASER ENGRAVER RAY5
LASER ENGRAVER INTRODUCTION
www.longer3d.com
ATTENTION
The RAY5 engraves and cuts materials by the means of a high-energy diode laser beam.
The hazards associated with a high-energy diode laser beam include the possibility of fires,
generation of hazardous and/or irritating toxic fumes, but more importantly damage to eyes
and skin.
The high energy laser beam can cause severe eye damage, including blindness and serious
skin burns.
Improper use of the controls and modification of the safety features may cause serious eye
injury and burns.
We strongly recommend placing the machine in a well-ventilated room, and at the same
time, the door of the room has a sealing effect and the windows have curtains, so as to
effectively avoid looking directly at the laser beam and some smoke and steam , Particles
and other highly toxic substances. At the same time, you can pay attention to the Longer
products (cover) in the follow-up.
The high-energy diode laser beam can produce extremely high temperatures and significant
amounts of heat as the substrate material is burned away while engraving and cutting. Some
materials are prone to catch fire during cutting operations creating flame, fumes and smoke.
Although the RAY5 has a built in flame sensor, this technology should NOT be considered
100% accurate and should be seen only as a warning system.
P.S. During the working process of RAY5, if a flame is found, the machine will stop the laser
and make a sound to indicate abnormal conditions. Please pay attention to the working
status of the machine.
During operation to ensure that any flare ups/ flame are properly contained and extinguished.
DO NOT look directly into the laser beam;
DO NOT aim the laser beam at reflective surfaces;
DO NOT operate the laser without PPE protection for all persons nearby in the
proximity of the RAY5;
DO NOT allow unsupervised access to the RAY5 to children;
DO NOT allow access near the RAY5 to pets;
DO NOT modify or disable any safety features of the laser system;
DO NOT touch the high energy laser beam;

Class Definition.
Class I laser radiation is not considered hazardous.
Class IIa laser radiation is not considered hazardous if viewed
for any period of time less than or equal to 1x103 seconds, but is
considered a chronic viewing hazard for any period of time
greater than 1x103 seconds.
Class II laser radiation is considered a chronic viewing hazard.
Class IIIa laser radiation is, depending upon the irradiance,
either an acute in- trabeam viewing hazard or chronic viewing
hazard. If viewed directly with optical instruments, Class IIIa
laser radiation is classified as an acute viewing hazard.
Direct Class IIIb laser radiation is considered an acute hazard to
the skin and eyes.
Class IV laser radiation is considered an acute hazard to the
skin and eyes from both direct and scattered radiation.

Please wear Personal Protective (Safety Glasses are designed to filter specific
ranges of laser wavelength. The RAY5 Safety Glasses provided are specific
for LONGER Laser Module;) when using the machine Equipment (PPE).
Laser engravers are divided into several internationally valid classes based on
their performance and the risk of injury.The RAY5 falls into the Class IV (Class
4 IEC standard focus on the American FDAclassification).

INSTALLATION STEPS
1
T-shaped Screw
M5*6
M3*6
Install the X-Axis Frame in the V-groove of the left and
right Frames along the direction of the arrow.
Place the profiles on a flat table in order, and place four corner grooves into the
profiles referring to diagram.
Tighten the M5*25 screw with M5 washer into frames.
Tighten the M5 screws on the corner grooves.
According to the figure, install the supporting foot,
the control box of the engraving machine, and the
left profile limit screw in the corresponding position.
Note: Fix the cable with a cable tie and sheet metal to ensure that the cable has
enough length to ensure that the length of the cable is sufficient for the laser head to
move to the limit position.
Focusing:
Place the wooden board under the engraving head, loosen the Thumb Screw, loosen
the laser head adjustment plate, place the focusing column under the laser profile
(refer to the figure below), and tighten the Thumb Screw.
Use Thumb Screw to fix the laser module to the X-axis frame laser head sheet
metal, and the height of the laser head should not be too high.
The screw passes through the isolation cylinder, after installation, the laser head can move
up and down is better.
1. Place a timing belt along the red arrow with the tooth face down.
2. Put the T-shaped nut on one end of the belt , use an L-shaped screwdriver to rotate the
T-shaped nut, then screw in the M5*6 screw to fix one end of belt.
3. Tighten the belt by hand, then fix another end of belt in the manner of previous step.
4. Fix another belt on left frame in the same way.
