Overview 1.1 Product Overview C4 series flat-bed cutting head is a kind of fiber laser cutting head suitable for median to high power. It can cut stainless steel of maximum thickness 7 mm and carbon steel of maximum thickness 15 mm with best cutting quality. It features with water cooling and draw design for protective windows.
By Au3tech Research Pty Ltd C4 Cutting head Users Manual 1.2 Product Features Support multiple kinds of focal length (125mm, 150mm) Support multiple kinds of fire-optic link (QBH, QD) Focus module design with high-precision Centering control module design with precision Protection lens box can be quickly disassembled Optimized smooth gas circuit design;...
C4 Cutting head Users Manual 2.1.2 C4 3D cutting head C4 3D series is designed for 3D cutting. It comes with longer focus length than normal flat-bed cutting heads. In term of larger aperture and longer focus length, the depth of focus can achieve longer than usual, so the cutting curve can be better quality.
C4 Cutting head Users Manual 2.1.3 C4 fine cutting head C4-FC series is designed for fine cutting. It comes with shorter focus length than normal flat-bed cutting heads or 3D cutting heads. In term of larger aperture and short focus length, the focus spot can achieve smaller and it is better for thin metal cutting.

Focus Adjustments 4.1 Focus centering The centering of all C4 fiber cutting head series are finished by the two adjusting screws just as shown in the following figure. When centering, No. 2.5 socket head wrench is used. Clockwise adjustment makes focus move to the direction of backboard and counterclockwise adjustment makes focus move to the opposite direction.
By Au3tech Research Pty Ltd C4 Cutting head Users Manual 4.2 Z position adjustments The Z-axis position adjustment of all C5 fiber cutting head series are finished by the hand wheel unit just as shown in the following figure. Clockwise adjustment of hand wheel makes focus extend and counterclockwise adjustment of hand wheel makes focus shorten.
By Au3tech Research Pty Ltd C4 Cutting head Users Manual Operation &Maintenance 5.1 Maintenance of Protective windows Protective window is at the bottom of focusing module. When lens sticks to impurities or foreign matters, they cause damage to lens. Therefore, regular maintenance of window is needed. It is suggested to clean it once a week.

Gently squeeze the edge of the windows with right thumb from the top down (Note: be sure to squeeze the edge, since squeezing the center cannot make the windows fall off), place the index finger of right hand on the opposite direction of thumb so as to protect the lens from slipping.
2. Refill into the bottom of lens module, and clockwise tighten the set screw by hand 5.2 Collimator and focus lens maintain C4 fiber laser process head has excellent leak tightness, so regular inspection of its population is unnecessary. But if the machine tool is frequently moved, the cleanness of the lens should be inspected in the dust-free room before pulling in or pulling out fiber and re-installation All collimators and focus lens come in holders, so it is much easier to get it replaced.
