YASKAWA YRC1000 Instructions Manual page 7

•
Perform welding after confirming that the galvano laser head is being supplied with
air and cooling water in accordance with the specifications.
Performing welding without air supply increases the possibility of spattering on the
protective glass, which shortens the service life.
Performing welding without supplying cooling water causes the optical components'
temperature to increase, which may result in laser head malfunction or reduced
welding quality.
•
Do not perform welding if the protective glass is cracked or dirty.
If welding is performed with cracked or dirty protective glass, the laser may diffuse in
an unintended direction and/or the protective glass may absorb the laser energy,
resulting in laser head malfunction or damage to peripheral devices.
•
Do not touch hot work or hot jigs immediately after welding with bare hands.
Touching hot work or hot jigs immediately after welding with bare hands may result in
burns.
