Safeguards
Safeguards include all safety measures that employ the use of specific technical means (guards, safety devices) to protect people from dangers
that can not be reasonably limited by design.
Tampering with the safeguards or any modification of the device may cause risks to users and other exposed persons.
Interlock
Description
The interlock is a normally closed switch that should be placed on the access door(s) to the room where the
device is located. The interlock switch electrical connections are shown in the figure below.
Purpose
The Interlock switch serves to prevent operation of the laser when safety issues arise. This precaution is
mandatory if working with the welding chamber open or when the bottom of the welding chamber is
removed. A blind interlock connector is provided for use on the device with the bottom of the welding
chamber inserted and under normal operating conditions.
Operation
When the switch is opened normal device functions are disabled and a warning message is displayed on the
screen until the switch is closed again.
The DB9 male connector, cables and switches are provided only upon request.
Leather curtains
Description
Several layers of leather strips form a movable and permanent barrier at the access openings to the welding
chamber through which the operator can insert hands and objects to be welded.
Purpose
This safety device is necessary to prevent any potential radiation escaping from the welding chamber, and to
prevent the operator or people close by from exposure to the flashes produced during welding operations, as
well as to prevent any leakage of shielding gas in use.
Operation
The leather curtain, which blocks the passage of laser radiation, is easily replaceable in the event the majority
of the strips are damaged, bent, broken or cut through usage.
Resonator shutter
Description
This device consits of motor-driven flag located inside the laser resonator system. The shutter cuts off the laser
beam path within the resonator when the welding machine is in stand-by or in the event of an anomaly.
Purpose
The purpose of this device is to prevent the generation of unwanted laser radiation.
Operation
The shutter is activated when the power is turned on, before the device is activated.
Upon activation the shutter clears the laser path, and the device is ready for normal operation. A microprocessor
control checks that the shutter is disabled in a timely manner: any anomalies are indicated by a warning on the
display.
When the machine is turned off the shutdown procedure closes the shutter; a check to ensure proper closure is
then performed. Any anomalies will be shown on the display.
The resonator shutter movements are detected by an infrared sensor controlled by the movement of the motor
shaft. Failure of the infrared sensor is detected by the microprocessor, which puts the system on alert, preventing
normal operation of the device and showing the anomaly on the display.
Failure of the motor or its control driver is detected by the microprocessor by checking the ON/OFF movement
times of the flag and showing an appropriate warning message on the display.

Removing the bottom of the welding chamber
It is possible to remove the bottom of the welding chamber in order to work on particularly large objects. To do this, and to ensure compliance
with safety regulations, a "controlled" laser operation area, or secure work area with restricted access must be created that is properly defined
and marked with signs (Warning: Laser radiation), that may only be accessed by personnel wearing protective eyewear. The entrance to the
controlled laser operation area must be connected to the interlock switch that prevents operation of the unit (please refer to the chapter Using
the Interlock Switch). To remove the bottom of the chamber, unscrew the 6 screws indicated in the figure and push the panel downward, keep it
for future use.
Safety glasses must have an OD 7 optical density and an L9 protection level for pulsed lasers with a wavelength of 1064 nm, in
compliance with the relevant EN 207 standard.
Visual display and coaxial chamber
The device has an 8.4” high-resolution, touch-screen TFT display, which permits both viewing and setting of welding parameters. The same
display shows the welding area through the coaxial chamber of the stereo microscope; in this mode a crosshair is displayed on the screen to
indicate the point of impact of the laser beam. Switching between the display of the welding area and working parameters is possible by
touching any point on the touch-screen or by activating the encoder. The display view switches automatically from the welding parameters to
the welding area when the welding parameters are not in use (see display timeout) or by using the "CAM" button.
It is possible when viewing the welding chamber to access an OSD menu to improve the chamber image. There are 5 buttons for the OSD
display settings:
1. SW1 - Menu
2. SW2 - Down
3. SW3 - Up
4. SW4 - Exit

Pushing the pedal will generate a laser pulse with an energy amount corresponding to the "Power" value multiplied by the "Time" value, and a
diameter equal to the "Spot" value and a repetition frequency equal to the "Frequency" value. The center of the crosshair viewed through the
eyepieces of the microscope indicates the point of impact of the laser beam.
Waveform (Pulse Shaping)
The laser pulse can make the following waveforms:
Square
A universal wave form where the set energy is delivered for the set time, ideal for all types of metals
Slope Up
Using this waveform the first 20% of the set time provides a gradual increase in the energy until it reaches the set
value, ideal for highly reflective metals
Slope Down
Using this waveform the last 20% of the set time provides a gradual decrease to 0, ideal for opaque or poorly
reflecting metals.
Trapezoid
This waveform is a combination of the previous two, ideal for silver-rich metals.
Pulsed
Using this waveform the energy is generated as a chain of pulses for greater piercing effect, ideal for all metals.
Memory Cells and Saving of Welding Parameters (EDIT/SAVE)
Using the "EDIT" button allows the user to rename the programs in the welding machine. When the "Edit" button is pressed the user will be
prompted to select a cell from those available, press the "Edit" button again to edit and confirm the new name.
