PREFACE

Thank you for choosing our laser equipment.
This fibre laser marking machine is intended for personal and professional use.
Read this manual carefully before operation. It covers the details of correct installation, adjustment, maintenance, and—most importantly—safe operation of your new laser. It is intended to be used in conjunction with the manual for its engraving software, as the program not only provides image design but also serves as the main interface for the laser settings and machine controls. You and any other users of this device should thoroughly understand BOTH manuals before attempting to operate the laser.
Both manuals should be included if this device is given or sold to a third party.
If you have any questions, after reading these manuals, please contact us and our support department will address your concerns as soon as possible.

Introduction

1.1 General Information
This manual is the designated user guide for the installation, setup, safe operation, and maintenance of your fibre laser marking machine. It is divided into six chapters covering general information, safety instructions, installation steps, operation instructions, maintenance instructions, and contact information.
All personnel involved in the installation, setup, operation, maintenance, and repair of this machine should read and understand this manual, particularly its safety instructions. Substandard performance and longevity, property damage, and personal injury may result from not knowing and following these instructions.
Your fibre laser marker works by emitting a powerful laser beam from its fibre laser source, sending that beam through a fibre optic cable, focusing its power through the galvanometer lens, and using this focused light to etch designs into certain substrates.
This fiber laser marking machine uses a nanoscale fibre laser source. Its single-mode output, good heat dissipation, high efficiency, and compact structure make it ideal for high-precision laser marking. With typical use, this device has an average lifespan around 100,000 working hours. However, constantly running your laser above 80% of its maximum rated power can significantly shorten its service life. It is recommended to use settings from 10–75% of the maximum rated power to enjoy optimal performance and longevity.
Note that this is a high-voltage device and, as a safety precaution, it is recommended to only touch its components with one hand at a time during use.
Note also that this device does not have a protective housing. It is thus recommended to use a special room or to raise protective screens around the work area. The active laser is invisible to the human eye and anyone in or near the working area MUST use special protective eyewear when the laser is in use to avoid potentially permanent injury.

  • Any untrained personnel who might be near the device while it is in operation MUST be informed that it is dangerous and fully instructed on how to avoid injury during its use.
  • Always keep a fire extinguisher, water hose, or other flame retardant system nearby in case of accidents. Ensure that the local fire station’s phone number is clearly displayed nearby. In the case of a fire, cut electrical power before dousing the flame. Familiarise yourself with the correct range for your extinguisher before use. Take care not to use your extinguisher too close to the flame, as its high pressure can produce blowback.

2.3 Laser Safety Instructions
This machine uses an invisible CLASS 4 LASER, the strongest and most dangerous class of laser available for public use. Used without care, it can cause serious property damage and personal injury including but not limited to the following:

  •  The laser will easily burn nearby combustible materials
  • Some working materials may produce radiation or harmful gasses during processing
  • Direct exposure to the laser will cause bodily harm including serious burns and irreparable eye damage

As such,

  • NEVER interfere with the laser beam.
  • DO NOT place any part of your body under the laser lens during operation. Take measures to protect yourself from potentially reflected laser beams including the use of screens or personal protective equipment.
  • NEVER attempt to view the laser directly without protective eyewear. Always wear safety goggles or glasses designed to filter the specific wavelength of your engraver’s laser with an optical density (OD) of 5+. As even seemingly matte materials can produce harmful reflected beams, care should be taken to keep anyone without protective eyewear from observing the machine during operation. EVEN WITH protective eyewear, do not stare or allow others to stare continuously at the laser beam during operation.
  • DO NOT leave potentially combustible, flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials nearby where they could be exposed to the direct or reflected laser beam.
  • DO NOT use or leave sensitive EMI equipment nearby. Ensure the area around the laser is free of strong electromagnetic interference during any use.
  • ONLY use this machine as described in the Material Safety section of this manual. The laser settings and engraving process must be properly adjusted for specific materials.
  • Ensure the area is kept free of airborne pollutants, as these might pose a similar risk of reflection, combustion, etc.
  • NEVER use this marking machine with the fibre source’s housing opened, as the closed laser light path is necessary to prevent laser radiation leakage.
  • DO NOT modify or disassemble the laser and do not use the laser if it has been modified or disassembled by anyone except trained and skilled professionals. Dangerous radiation exposure and other injury may result from the use of adjusted, modified, or otherwise incompatible equipment.

2.4 Electrical Safety Instructions

  • ONLY use this device with a compatible and stable power supply with less than 5% fluctuation in its voltage.
  • DO NOT connect other devices to the same fuse, as the laser system will require its full amperage. Do not use with standard extension cords or power strips. Use only surge protectors rated over 2000J.
  • ONLY turn on the power to this device when it is well grounded, either via a firm connection to a 3-prong outlet or via a dedicated grounding cable firmly connected to the proper slot on the back of the main tower. Do not use with an ungrounded 3 to 2 prong adapter. The device’s grounding should be checked regularly for any damage to the line or loose connections.
  • Turn the device on and off using its power buttons in the correct order. The mainboard, galvanometer, and laser have separate power supplies that are grounded in order. Pushing all the buttons at once, too quickly, or in the wrong order may send electrical current to an ungrounded component, causing short circuits and other electrical hazards.
  • If the circuit breaker activates, reset once the electrical problem has been fixed. If the circuit breaker continuously activates, contact customer service or your technician.
  • ONLY use this device with one hand at a time. The laser is powered by an extremely high voltage connection and placing two hands on the machine at one time during operation has the potential to create a closed circuit with the human body, resulting in electrical shock.
  • The area around this laser marking device should be kept dry, well ventilated, and environmentally controlled to keep the ambient temperature between 5–35°C (40–95°F). The ambient humidity should not exceed 70%.
  • Adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the electrical components of this device must be done ONLY by trained and skilled professionals to avoid fires and other malfunctions, including potential radiation exposure from damage to the laser components. Because specialised techniques are required for testing the electrical components of this marking system, it is recommended such testing only be done by the manufacturer, seller, or repair service.
  • Unless otherwise specified, ONLY undertake adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the device when it is turned off and disconnected from its power supply.

2.5 Material Safety Instructions

  • Users of this fibre marking machine are responsible for confirming that materials to be processed can withstand the heat of a class 4 laser and will not produce any emissions or byproducts either harmful to people nearby or in violation of any local or national laws or regulations. In particular, do not use this device to process polyvinyl chloride (PVC), teflon, or other halogen containing materials under any circumstances.
  • Users of this fibre laser are responsible for ensuring that every person present during operation has sufficient PPE to avoid any injury from emissions or byproducts of the materials being processed. In addition to the protective laser eyewear discussed above, this may require goggles, masks or respirators, gloves, and other protective outer clothing.

Installation

3.1 Installation Overview
A complete working system consists of the cabinet with the fibre laser source, the laser arm with the galvanometer lens, a computer (not included) with engraving software (included), and all applicable connection cables. A support column and workbed come included to assist your work. Users can also configure other additional accessories (such as a rotary axis) to suit their needs.
Use only the hardware, wiring, and power sources that came with or are compatible with this device. Installing equipment that your device is not designed to work with can lead to poor performance, shortened service time, increased maintenance costs, property damage, and personal injury.
Please note the specific requirements of your system’s installation. Every customer must understand these notes before installation to execute a proper setup and achieve safe laser performance. If you have any installation questions or problems, contact our technicians and customer support team.
Any auxiliary equipment must be adjusted to the base machine. Queries may be directed to the dealer or manufacturer of such equipment.
3.2 Location Selection
Prior to assembling your fibre laser marker, select an appropriate location for its use.
Be sure that it meets all of the requirements discussed in the Safety Information above. The location should be stable, level, dry, and climate controlled to ensure an ambient temperature 5–35°C and an ambient humidity under 70%. In particular, the temperature and humidity together should not be close to the dew point. It is also advisible to use a windowless room or to use blinds and/or curtains to avoid exposure to the potential additional heat of direct sunlight. The location should be free of dust and other airborne pollutants and well ventilated enough to process any fumes produced by the engraving process in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Depending on the materials to be processed, this may require construction of a dedicated ventilation system. It should be away from children; combustible, flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials; and sensitive EMI devices. The power cord should be plugged into a compatible and stable power source via a grounded 3-prong outlet. No other item should be drawing current from the same fuse. There should be fire-fighting equipment nearby and the local fire station’s phone number should be clearly displayed.
It is highly recommended to have an extra work table nearby in order to avoid placing objects on or directly adjacent to the machine, which could become a fire or laser hazard.
3.3 Electrical Grounding
This device employs a class 4 laser. As discussed in the Safety Information above, it is extremely high voltage and potentially dangerous, so users must securely ground it to avoid the buildup of static electricity. Using a standard 3-prong outlet will provide sufficient grounding. If you do not have access to a 3-prong outlet, you MUST use the grounding cable and ensure its proper connection. The far end of the cable should be securely connected to a metal rod driven at least 3 m (8 feet) deep into soil located at least 1.5 m (5 feet) from the machine. The resistance along the line should be no greater than 5Ω.
Poor grounding WILL cause equipment failure and create a serious electrical shock hazard. The manufacturer and/or seller bear(s) no responsibility and assume(s) no liability for any damage, accidents, or injuries caused by bad grounding connections.
3.4 Assembly Instructions
Step 1. Install the support column onto the worktable using the four mounting holes and the provided bolts. Step 2. Install the laser arm onto the support column using the provided bolts. Mount the laser arm so that its lens box is positioned over the work area. Align the four holes on the housing with the holes in its mounting bracket. Tighten it into place with the included bolts.
Turn the knob on top of the support column to adjust the height of the laser arm to about 24 cm, as marked on the column’s ruler. This will position the lens to be nearly in focus with most common materials.
Step 3. Make all necessary connections between the various components.
Step 4. The positioning bars can be installed onto the worktable and left in place for all your projects or can be moved around to suit different projects. Simply place the bars over the holes that will form the outer edge of the target material and fasten them into place with the provided bolts.
3.5 Control Computer Installation
See the separate engraving software manual for details on the requirements for the control computer. The control computer should not be placed more than 4.5 m (15 feet) away from the fibre laser marker in order to avoid possible interference to the signal in its line. Familiarise yourself with your software’s image design features and laser control settings before beginning operation of the laser itself.

Operation

4.1 Operation Overview
Operate this laser marking machine only in accordance with all the instructions provided in this manual. Failure to follow the proper guidelines detailed here can result in property damage and personal injury.
This section will address only some of the options and features provided by the operation software. Before beginning to use the machine, make sure that you have read this entire manual (particularly the Safety Information above), the separate software manual, and any and all warnings provided on the machine itself.
4.2 General Operation Instructions
Step 1. Load or create a design in EZCad. Step 2. Put on your protective eyewear. Ensure that anyone else who might bet exposed to direct or reflected laser beams is also wearing protective eyewear as described in §2.4.
Step 3. Turn on the laser marker by pressing the power buttons from left to right in order:

  1. Mainboard
  2. Scanner
  3. Laser

Pressing the buttons out of order may cause electrical hazards as the separate power supplies are grounded in order. Do not press the buttons too quickly. Give each power supply time to come on line, activating its fans. 3 seconds is sufficient.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, once the engraver is on, try to touch its components with only one hand at a time.
Step 4. If you previously disconnected the control computer, reconnect it via the USB cable now. If your computer is already connected and EZCad is already running, restart it now to establish a connection between the computer and the laser’s control board.
Step 5. Customise your contrast and engraving depth by adjusting the engraving parameters in EZCad.
To darken an image, use a higher frequency setting. To lighten it, use a lower one. To increase engraving depth, increase the amount of energy per unit area by reducing the speed parameter or increasing the laser’s power or the number of loops. Engraving too deep, however, reduces image quality, especially for coated materials. Again, constantly using settings over 80% will shorten the expected service life of your laser. Resolution should usually be set to 500 dots per inch. Reducing your image resolution can be helpful in some cases, reducing flaming and increasing the energy of the pulse in a way that improves the quality of the resultant image in some materials such as some plastics.
Step 6. Activate the laser guidance system by pressing Red or hitting F1 in EZCad. The design should be displayed in red light on the worktable, showing where the laser will fire. Step 7. Place an expendable piece of the material to be engraved in the location shown by the laser guidance. Do not use a different target as the galvanometer lens automatically focuses at different heights for different materials. Being careful that no part of your body is near the worktable or laser path, press Mark or hit F2 in EZCad to fire the test laser. Alternatively, you can activate the laser by using the foot pad.
Step 8. The laser is invisible but will create a buzzing noise and sparks and begin engraving when it is correctly focused on your test material. If no sparks are emitted, the laser is out of focus. Continue to fire it while adjusting the laser arm up or down using the height adjustment wheel on the support column. Small, consistent sparks will be emitted at the marking point when the beam is correctly in focus. Make a note of the correct height on the support column’s ruler for future reference. Step 9. Replace the test material with the actual material. Use the foot pad or press Mark or hit F2 in EZCad to engrave your pattern. Again, do not stare at the laser in operation even with protective eyewear. Watch for possible issues like sparks or fires, however, and be prepared to quickly extinguish a fire if necessary.
Step 10. Examine the quality of your first run and adjust the laser parameters in EZCad as necessary to create your desired effect. The foot pedal is particularly useful for continuous or repeated operation of the laser once you’ve settled on your design and its ideal parameter settings. You can also achieve more control of the marking process by reducing the laser’s speed and using the foot pad.
Step 11. When you have finished engraving your design, close EZCad and then turn off the laser marking machine by pressing the power buttons from right to left in order:

  1. Laser
  2. Scanner
  3. Mainboard

Step 12. Cover the galvonometer lens and fully clean the workbed. For best results, disconnect your fibre marking machine from its power supply between uses. Unplug it or turn off its intermediary surge protector.
4.3 Instructions for Specific Materials
When engraving a new material, it can be helpful to engrave a test matrix of small boxes produced with various speed, power, and frequency settings to home in on the exact effect that you are looking for. To speed the process, here are some general guidelines for commonly engraved materials. Again, however, these are only guidelines for your convenience and it is the responsibility of the user to consult material safety data sheets and other sources to ensure the safety of working with various materials and setups. Some of the materials listed will require additional workspace and personal protective equipment in addition to this engraver:
Metals
When engraving metals, generally use high power, a low frequency, and low to medium speed settings. To avoid using your marker at greater than 80% power for extended periods, you can also get similar effects by reducing the power somewhat while also increasing the number of passes or decreasing the engraving speed. Be mindful that some metals will produce conducting, reflective, and/or toxic dust. Softer metals naturally produce more dust during engraving, while harder metals can require higher power settings that also produce more dust. In addition to the risk to the user’s skin and eyes, there may be enough dust produced (especially for repetitive industrial applications) that a full ventilation system is required to address the problem. Similarly, operators and
others in the work area may need to use breathing PPE such as masks and respirators.
Aluminium: Bare aluminum requires a somewhat higher frequency than other metals and will never produce a strong black mark similar to those created by engraving steel. When darker marking is required, consider employing anodisation or producing a deep engraving that can be darkened by using black epoxy or other filler. Anodised aluminium requires a little more speed but a very low frequency.
Powder Coated Metals: Metals with a powder coating usually require a very high frequency and, for best results, at least 3 passes to remove the coating and polish the bare lower layer.
Precious Metals: Gold and similarly soft metals should be engraved with less power but a moderate speed. Silver and other semidurable metals are best engraved at a slightly higher power and slightly slower speed, but still not at the same power and speed as steel or aluminum.
Plastics
When engraving plastics, generally use low power and high speed settings. Marking and engraving with too much power or at too low a speed can concentrate too much energy at the point of contact, causing the plastic to melt. Among other problems, this may produce poor engraving quality, noxious fumes, and even fires.
Stone
When engraving various kinds of stone, generally use moderate power and speed at low frequency. As with ceramics and metals, be mindful of the dust created (especially for repetitive industrial applications) and take similar measures to ensure the safety of users and others in the work area.
