Chapter 5 - Laser System 5.1 Type of Laser Tube There are three types of laser sources used with the Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS, namely Coherent and Synrad. There are 30W, 60W, 80W and 100W models with Synrad laser tubes and also there are 30W, 40W models with Coherent Deos laser tubes and 80w ,100w with GT series.
Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 5.3 How does the laser beam travel to the working area ? The laser beam generated by the laser source is reflected and guided by 4 optical lenses on to the working area. Therefore the proper adjustment and maintenance of them are crucial.
Page 106
Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 Step 2: Place a piece of masking tape over the tube opening that leads to Mirror 2. Fire the laser and see if it leaves a burnt mark in the center of the hole. Also check that the burnt mark left by the laser beam is circular in shape.
5.3.3 Beam Alignment for GLS Hybrid (Dual Tubes) The beam alignment for GLS Hybrid has few more steps than other Spirit series. First press Auto Focus key + Turn On machine together and go to hardware testing mode.(See Chapter 7.3.4 Hardware Test for detail). Then choose Fiber laser test and tune 1064 nm mirror and let Fiber red beam pass through and hit the center of the hole on CO2 mirror panel.

Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 1064nm Mirror panel Mirror 1064nm Mirror 1064nm mirror part number: Mirror Assembly:29005029G Put double side adhesive to let 1064nm red beam hit Mirror 1 the center hole of mirror panel. Make sure the beam combiner will not block CO2 laser beam: Put beam combiner into prism mount and then fire CO2 laser and make sure laser beam will pass through beam combiner without being blocked.
Then put back CO2 mirror 1 into prism mount and then follow the same steps on 5.3.2 Basic Beam Alignment above. (From step 1 to step 4). 5.4 Setting tickle pulse on Spirit Series machines equipped with Synrad laser sources.

Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 7.5 Diagnostic process for random shifting problem Symptom 1: Y axis shifting during a matrix job When the machine is engraving or cutting a matrix job (some rows and columns of logos or texts), sometimes one row of job is shifting to y axis (shift to upper or lower than normal position).
Page 145
Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 Diagnostic process: Check if the x motor flat cable is broken somewhere or change another x motor flat cable. Check if the screws under x motor cable are too sharp or too high and rub the x motor flat cable.
Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 7.6 When turns on machine, control panel shows “X motor malfunction” (see picture below) and machine cannot finish initialization. Diagnostic process: Every GCC laser x/y table machine will have initialization process when machine turns on.

Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 Inject small amount of grease to this injection opening inside the linear bearing 7. Open the belt by hand and use cotton swab to clean the linear guide (make sure to clean top, bottom and surface of linear guide).
The following section will illustrate the location of the four mirrors found on the LaserPro Spirit Series for cleaning. Mirror 1 Mirror #1 is located inside the bottom left access door panel of the LaserPro Spirit Series. 1) Use a #2 Phillips Screwdriver to open the access panel located on the bottom left side of the LaserPro Spirit Series.

7) Tighten the thumbscrew. 8) Close and secure all the covers. For Spirit GLS Hybrid machine equipped with dual laser tubes (CO2 laser tube and Fiber laser tube), in addition to above mentioned process to access and clean mirror #1, there is an extra mirror #1 for fiber laser module needs maintenance.

Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 Chapter 9 FAQ 9.1 For laser machines, what factors affect cutting throughput? Explain: many factors will affect cutting throughput. See “Laser Processing Variables” image below. For laser machine users, the major factor that user can control is focusing distance. The correct focusing point will have highest power density.
Page 158
Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 From the following picture, right focusing position will provide the maximum power density for laser cutting. About different thicknesses of materials, it needs to take different focusing positions for cutting. In general, focusing position is right on the surface for the thin materials. However,...
Page 159
Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 For the relationship of cutting throughput and the power density, there is a lot of information we can find from Internet. One of the good examples is the “Laser-Material Interaction” image below:...
Page 160
Spirit/Spirit LS/Spirit GLS Maintenance Manual V.6 9.2 When cutting thick material (10mm acrylic for example), why the cutting edge is slant? Explain: The problem is that the laser beam path does not pass through the center of focus lens. It’s conventional to see some slant in the thick material cutting because of the mechanical accuracy and the lens focuses in then out.
