  • Page 9: Introduction

    E. Introduction 1. Presentation The LS1000 XP is an engraving, marking and cutting machine equipped with a CO2 laser source. The 40W/60W/80W laser sources are air cooled. The 100W/150W laser sources are water cooled. A water chiller is supplied. This type of laser offers very high quality marking on a wide range of materials. 2. Identification of the marking equipment The marking equipment is identified by: • 1 identification plate on the rear face Have the model and serial number of the equipment available when contacting Gravotech. 3. Work station safety • Turn off the machine before beginning any cleaning, maintenance or repair procedure. • Never operate the machine near a cardiac pacemaker. • Never operate the machine without the protective covers properly mounted. • Never operate the machine if the doors are damaged or do not close properly.

  • Page 10: X84; Water Chiller

    Introduction „ Water chiller Never operate the LS1000 XP 100W/150W machine without a properly operating water chiller that is correctly configured, installed and maintained in good working order. In order to protect the chiller pump, it is strictly prohibited to operate it without demineralised water in the tank. To avoid damaging the pump, it is important to fill the tank before using it for the first time. • It is important to check that the demineralised water level is always adequate. Cooling capacity begins to decline when the demineralised water level falls below the green area (NORMAL) on the gauge. • Never drain the water tank while the chiller is in operation.

  • Page 11: X84; Handling The Machine

    Introduction „ Handling the machine • Never move or lift the machine without the assistance of lifting rings and an appropriate vehicle. Serious injury can occur if incorrect lifting techniques are used. • The head must be handled with the greatest care. • Never subject the bridge X of the machine to a magnetic field. • In the event of an extended period of non-use, unplug the power cable and protect the machine. • Never move the head manually unless the machine is jammed mechanically. • Never pour or spill liquid on the machine (drinks, cleaning products, etc.) except where recommended by Gravotech (Example: Lubrication).
