Page 8: Installation Of Mechanical Parts
Installation of mechanical parts Installation of main parts The size of installation hole of A230E showed as figure 3. Please make sure the fiber laser cutting head is perpendicular to the metal sheet when installing and at the same time to make sure the cutting head has been locked stably on the cutting machine for getting a stable cutting quality. -
Page 9: Installation Of Water Cooling
Installation of Water cooling A230E electric fiber laser cutting head has two water cooling circuits, you could self-configure the direction of water in and out. Kindly suggest you to use water cooling once the laser power is above 500w. The position and quantity of water cooling interface showed as below (Figure 4). The water cooling interface is a closed-loop design, but the cooling water can also be provided from the external and must be following the instructions showed as below: Figure 4. -
Page 10: Installation Of Gas Circuit
Installation of gas circuit The dregs like hydrocarbon and vapor contained in the cutting gas will damage the optical lens, and fluctuate the power of gathered laser beam which will result in the differences of the cutting section from the up to the bottom. Here are the suggested cutting gas and its purity (Figure 5). The higher the gas purity is, the better the cutting quality of section will be. -
Page 11: Fiber Socket
Fiber socket A230E electric fiber laser cutting head can be matched with multi types of industrial laser source, it has collimate unit. The connected part between the end of optical fiber and cutting head was called QBH connector. The standard fiber socket of A230E electric fiber laser cutting head is QBH connector. (Figure 6) Figure 6. -

Installation of Electricity and gas A230E electric fiber laser cutting head has already been integrated with motor, driver and controller, while its power supply and controlling signal have been integrated in the five-pin aerospace plug of M16 showed as figure 8. - Page 13 PS: When working with SC series fiber laser cutting system, there will be a signal cable in 15m especially for electric fiber laser cutting head with M16 in one end cables in the other end. One is connected with electric fiber laser cutting head and the other end is connected with the motion control card.

Page 14: The Centering And Adjustment Of Laser Beam
The centering and adjusting of laser beam The centering of laser beam The cutting quality mainly depends on whether the optical lens is in the center or not. If the optical lens is not in the center, the laser beam will reach to the inside parts of the cutting head thus the inside parts can be easily out of shape because of high temperature. -
Page 15: Focus Adjustment
Take out of the scotch tape to check if the cutting hole is exactly in the center of the nozzle tip’s hole; Repeat all the steps above to find the best center position relative to the nozzle tips’ hole; This is the basic method to find the best center position of laser beam. Focus adjustment The focus adjustment in Z axis of A230E electric fiber laser cutting head needs to be done in the SC series cutting software showed as figure 10. - Page 16 The adjustment range of focus lens unit of A230E in Z axis can be “+12mm~-12mm”. Since the focus position of the lens itself can have error, user can manual adjust it by jogging and check its real position through the “focus visual window” showed as figure 11. Then user can do micro adjustment on the cutting software to revise.

Page 17: Care And Maintenance
Care and maintenance Optical lens cleaning A230E electric fiber laser cutting head has 2 types of protective windows: the one in the top is protective windows of collimate lens, the other one at the bottom is protective windows of focus lens. When there are dust or dregs on optical lens, the dust or dregs will absorb heat of the laser beam which can increase the temperature of the optical lens, then the optical lens can easily be out of shape and result in bad cutting quality. -
