  • Page 2 Support a nd Ma nua l s PLH3D-CNC Adapter (center), PLH3D-6W-XF (bottom left), optional cables with CNC machine connector (bottom right), external keylock (top right) and stop button (top left). The PLH3D-CNC Adapter serves as a versatile interface and safety unit connected between a CNC machine and a high-performance PLH3D laser head.
  • Page 3 Support a nd Ma nua l s The laser head can be made operational by selecting to “arm” and “disarm” the laser head. Arming means turning the head power supply on; the armed head is then able to generate a laser beam. Disarming (turning the head power supply off) brings the laser head to a safe state where generating a laser beam is altogether impossible.
