Testing
Follow the steps below to test if the laser head is working well.
-
Turn on the chiller to check if there is any leaking of all the water interfaces.
WARNING
Make sure the electrical interface inlets are CONNECTED or COVERED by the cap before the cooling water test to avoid getting the inside wet and the resulting malfunctions.
IMPORTANT
Set the cooling water temperature ABOVE the dew point to avoid condensation on the optics in the laser head.
-
Turn on the machine and manage the laser head to go back to its home position, including the focus unit inside, and then check if there is any warning or error message about the fiber optics connection, the electrics connection, the auto-focusing motor and the height sensor, etc.
WARNING
Make sure that nothing blocks the way of the laser head.
-
Calibrate the gas pressure, or blow the gas for testing on the machine without the calibration function.
WARNING
Make sure the gas pressure is UNDER the limit.
-
Put a small work piece on the working bed and then calibrate the height sensor.
Refer to the corresponding machine’s and software’s manual for more instruction details.
