Safety Notes For Set-Up Procedure - Mazak STX SC L PLUS CONTROL Training Manual

Safety notes for set-up procedure

1. During the following procedures the laser is emitted from the torch. Since the operator is required to
view the reflected beam at a close proximity, plastic safety glasses are mandatory.
2. Confirmation of the laser discharge in a ready state can be determined by the "cw" or "pulse" led on
the operating panel. If either of these led's are illuminated, the laser will be emitted when the "shutter
unit" is in its open state.
3. When "reset" is pressed any laser conditions which were input are canceled, which can be confirmed
by viewing the "CW" and "pulse" LED's, which are not illuminated when the laser conditions are
canceled.
4. The laser shutter unit can only be opened "MANUALLY" if the "HANDLE" or "JOG" mode have
been highlighted/activated.
5. Confirmation of the shutter unit in the open state can be determined by the illumination of the yellow
"shutter open" button located next to the manual shutter key switch or the red flashing light above the
electrical unit cabinet.
Caution: do not place any part of your body beneath the nozzle when the shutter unit is in the open
state. Always confirm that the shutter unit closes after manually opening the shutter with the key
switch.
Notes For Set-Up Procedure
1. The set-up procedure must be performed in case of the following:
> The torch is removed
> The entire nozzle assembly is removed
> The nozzle to focus relationship must be changed
2. Once the set-up procedure has been performed, the focus and nozzle gap will be the same for any thickness of
material unless a manual or programmed override is used ( ie. G87p__ ).
3. When performing the following procedures, various menu keys must be pressed to activate the particular mode
required. When a menu key is pressed it will become highlighted which indicates that the function is activated.
4. When the machine is turned off and then back on, it will retain the set-up. During the course of operation it may be
necessary to adjust specific portions of the set-up procedure without repeating the entire procedure. Such
adjustments include changing nozzle tips due to contact with material and re-calibrating the profiler due to wear of
the stylus plate.
5. The standard focus is designed to meet the application needs of a wide range of materials and thickness'. If your
application is limited to one type of material or if there are very long runs of one material, it may be advantageous to
set up for a focus most suitable for that material.
