Introduction Introduction The ProMarker is a second generation of a high quality marking laser. The Yb fiber laser source means the system has an extremely long life cycle and minimal maintenance costs. This system is maintenance free apart from the filter pad and processing lens. The combination of a high quality galvanometer scanner and a fiber laser produce highly precise marking results in short marking times.

Setup and installation Mechanical installation 7.4.1 Installation of the marking head The correct, stable and reproducible alignment of the working head in relation to the workpiece to be marked is a prerequisite for faultless marking results. The marking head should therefore be installed with appropriate care.
Page 36
Setup and installation Alignment The focal plane lies parallel to the working head base plate. When installing the marking head it is therefore important to ensure that the marking head base plate is aligned as parallel as possible to the intended processing plane.
Setup and installation Laser rack and PC The laser rack and the PC should be located next to or directly above one another if possible in order for the modules to be connected to one another with the cables provided. When installing in a control cabinet or rack, ensure there is sufficient ventilation.
Setup and installation 7.5.1 Overview marking head interface (back side) Notice The cables are already connected to the marking head on delivery. Caution The fiber cable should only be disconnected from the marking head by trained service personnel. Before working on the system, remove the power plug! ENGLISH (Translation)
Setup and installation 7.5.2 Overview PC interface (back side) Connectors X93 and X103 are joined directly via a short cable. Connector X53 is joined to X51 on the laser rack by using another cable. Connector X83 is joined through the black tube to X82 on the marking head. 7.5.3 Mains connection Laser rack and PC have a cold device socket on the rear for the cold device cables supplied.
Setup and installation 7.5.4 Overview laser rack interface (back side) Notice Before the laser marker can be put into operation, the external safety circuits and the external start and stop signals must be connected. Caution When making these connections, the operator must ensure that all safety circuits comply with the respective valid national standards and guidelines for the use of laser devices.

Operation Power On/Off 1. Press the master switch ❶ on the laser rack. 2. The switch is illuminated in green and the two status lamps on the marking head also illuminate in green (shutter closed). 3. Put the key in the key switch ❼ (vertically) and turn 90° to the right. 4.
Operation Emission indicator The laser system is fitted with an emission indicator. If the system is switched on or the safety lock is open, there is usually a possibility that laser radiation will be emitted. This is signalled by a separate indicator and/ or an illuminated "Shutter"...
Operation Focusing Notice It is absolutely essential to maintain the correct focal distance for every laser marking process. Only when in focus will the laser beam achieve the power density necessary for permanent and clearly legible marking. Prior to any marking it is therefore necessary to set the correct focal distance between the marking head and the workpiece.

Maintenance Maintenance 10.1 Safety notes Caution Before any maintenance work takes place, ensure that the power supply has been switched off and the system is de-energised. Notice All maintenance work must be carried out according to the safety regulations. In order to ensure the maximum availability and lifetime of the system, we recommend you regularly check the filter system and ventilation and keep the surrounding area clean.
Maintenance 10.3 Cleaning the optics This system is fitted with high quality optical components, which under normal operating conditions are maintenance free for their lifetime. However, it may be necessary to clean output lenses, e.g. the scanner flat field lens (f-theta objective) if it becomes covered in dust or fumes. Notice Never touch the optical components with your fingers! Oily or dirty hands may damage the lens surfaces.
