  • Page 38: Figure 4-1 Beam Characteristics

    TECHNICAL OVERVIEW PAGE power stability & pulsing characteristics, exceptional beam quality, and proven fast rise/fall time features for your high-speed precision processing needs. Ti-Series lasers incorporate the latest technology in sealed carbon dioxide devices. NOVANTA combines the best features based on a combination of free-space and waveguide resonator designs that enable laser technology to economically produce a symmetrical beam from both a small and powerful laser capable of many years of operation with virtually no maintenance.

  • Page 39: Controlling Laser Power

    CONTROLLING LASER POWER PAGE Controlling Laser Power Internal RF power supply Ti-Series lasers are driven by a compact radio frequency (RF) power supply mounted internally in the laser chassis to make them more compact and energy efficient. The 48 VDC input voltage is converted into a high-power RF signal using an RF power oscillator.
  • Page 40 CONTROLLING LASER POWER PAGE Focusing optics When selecting a focusing optic, the primary consideration should be material thickness and any vertical tolerances that occur during final part positioning rather than making a selection based only on minimum spot size. The chosen focal length should create the smallest possible focused spot while providing the depth of field required for the material being processed.

  • Page 41: Cooling

    COOLING PAGE Cooling Coolants NOVANTA recommends that the laser’s cooling fluid contain at least 90% distilled water by volume. In closed-loop systems, use a corrosion inhibitor/algaecide such as Optishield® Plus or equivalent as required. Avoid glycol-based additives because they reduce the coolant’s heat capacity and high concentrations may affect power stability.
  • Page 42 COOLING PAGE The following table provides dew point temperatures for a range of air temperature and relative humidity values. Remember that the laser’s coolant temperature must be set above the dew point temperatures shown in the chart; refer to the cooling specifications at the end of this chapter. Table 4-2 Dew point temperatures.

  • Page 43: Control Signals

    CONTROL SIGNALS PAGE Control signals • Control signals • Operating modes Much of the information provided in this section describes the use of a NOVANTA UC-2000 Universal Laser Controller to provide PWM Command signals to the ti-Series laser. If using an alternate method of laser control, thoroughly review this section, Controlling laser power, as well as the following section, User I/O connections, for an understanding of the signal requirements necessary for control.
  • Page 44 CONTROL SIGNALS PAGE Command signal The modulated Command signal applied between Pin 9, PWM Input, and Pin 1, PWM Return, of the User I/O connector on the ti-Series laser has three basic parameters: signal amplitude, base frequency, and PWM duty cycle. By changing these parameters, you can command the beam to perform a variety of marking, cutting, welding, or drilling operations.

    CONTROL SIGNALS PAGE Figure 4-2 4.8kHz ti-Series waveform at 50% duty cycle. Figure 4-3 4.8kHz ti-Series waveform at 80% duty cycle.

  • Page 46: Operating Modes

    OPERATING MODES PAGE Operating modes External control In addition to controlling the laser using a UC-2000 Controller, controlling externally without a UC-2000, is also possible. The two primary elements of laser control are gating, the ability to turn the laser on and off at the appropriate times, and power, the ability to control the laser’s output energy.

  • Page 47: Figure 4-4 Pwm Signal Waveform

    OPERATING MODES PAGE Figure 4-4 PWM signal waveform. Gated operation In many marking and cutting applications, the laser is required to pulse, or gate, on and off in synchronization with an external control signal (typically from a computer or function generator operating in the range from DC to 1 kHz).

  • Page 48: Figure 4-5 Representative Ti-Series Optical Output Pulse

    OPERATING MODES PAGE Important Note: NOVANTA lasers are designed for maximum performance using a 95% duty cycle. Increasing the maximum PWM percentage beyond 95% greatly increases the laser’s heat load with little or no corresponding increase in laser output power Warning: Serious Personal Injury The UC-2000’s default gate logic is factory set to internal Pull-Up (normally on) mode so that an open (disconnected) Gate input causes the laser to turn on.

  • Page 54: Input Signals

    INPUT SIGNALS PAGE Input signals Four inputs allow control of ti-Series lasers. Remote Reset/Start Request, Remote Interlock, and Shutter Open Request inputs are optoisolated and bi-directional to allow positive or negative polarity inputs. These three signals share a common return, Input Common, which is separate from chassis ground to completely isolate control signals for optimal EMI performance.
  • Page 55 INPUT SIGNALS PAGE Table 4-5 Input signal table (continued).

  • Page 56: Figure 4-7 Auxiliary Dc Power Supply Wiring

    INPUT SIGNALS PAGE The following figure illustrates how Remote Interlock and Shutter Open Request inputs are factory- jumpered on the Quick Start Plug to enable lasing for initial testing and troubleshooting purposes. Figure 4-7 Auxiliary DC power supply wiring. Warning: Serious Personal Injury The use of the Quick Start Plug bypasses the laser’s safety interlock function, potentially exposing personnel in the area to invisible infrared laser radiation.

  • Page 57: Output Signals

    OUTPUT SIGNALS PAGE Table 4-6 Input circuit specifications.
