Air Assist Compressor - Universal Laser Systems X-660 Safety, Installation, Operation, And Basic Maintenance Manual

Cone Alignment Check and Adjust (both styles)
•
Power the laser system ON.
•
Open the top door.
•
Position the focus carriage in the middle of the field.
•
Turn ON the red diode laser pointer.
•
Place a piece of paper (1) underneath the cone and observe
the position of the red beam (2) in relation to the center of the
bottom of the Cone (3) and be sure to check it from the front
and side.
•
If the red beam is not centered, remove and reinstall the cone
to see if it was due to an improperly installed cone.
•
If the red beam is still not centered, check all your optics for
looseness or mechanical misalignment.
•
If still not centered, loosen the two base mounting screws (4) slightly (1/4 turn) and slide the base (5)
around until the red diode laser comes out of the centered of the cone. Remember to check this from
the front and side of the focus carriage.
•
Tighten the base mounting screws (4) gently and re-check the cone's alignment.

Air Assist Compressor

The Air Assist Compressor option is a 50 PSI @ 2.5 cfm source for oil-free, water-free, and particulate
matter-free compressed air. It contains a sound insulated air compressor, water dryer (desiccant), and
coalescent particulate filter. This compact and custom designed unit is a great compliment to the Air
Assist System option.
Installation
•
Make sure the laser system is turned off.
•
Plug one end of the blue coiled hose into the compressor fitting (push in the fitting lever until it clicks
before inserting) and the other end into the air inlet fitting in the laser system.
•
In the computer controlled version, plug one end of the control wire to the Air Compressor and the
other end into the control box.
•
Plug in the compressor into a wall outlet. Please check the rating on your air compressor for the
proper power requirements.
•
The compressor has a three way switch, ON, OFF, and AUTO. Push the switch to the left and it will
turn the compressor on all of the time. This mode is useful for non-computer controlled models. OFF
is obviously off. The AUTO position allows the compressor to turn on and off only when it receives a
signal from the laser system that has the computer controlled option. If you have selected the LOW,
HIGH, or GAS setting in the printer driver, the Air Compressor will automatically turn ON when the file
runs and OFF when the file is complete.
Maintenance
The filter and desiccant should be inspected every 8 hours of use. It may be necessary to clean out the
filter and change the desiccant that is inside the dryer assembly.
To inspect the filter, you must remove it. To inspect the desiccant you can observe the color of the
crystals through the slots in the metal enclosure without having to remove it. If you start to see water
droplets or moisture coming through the air lines, you will definitely need to change the desiccant inside
of the dryer assembly but it should never get to that point. Indication that the desiccant needs changing is
the lack of blue color pigments in the desiccant. The desiccant can be regenerated. Bake it in an oven at
350 degrees F until some of the crystals turn blue again.
