Main Parts - Omtech USB1610c User Manual

Main Parts

A. Cover—The cover provides access to the main bay for placing and retrieving materials, as well as fixing the laser path
alignment and other maintenance. Power to the laser is automatically cut when the cover is opened.
B. Viewing Window—The polycarbonate window is shielded to protect you and others from the laser and its reflection,
allowing monitoring of the engraving process. However, you should never stare continuously at the laser during opera-
tion, even through the window.
C. Y-Axis Rail—The Y-axis rail supports the movement of the X-axis rail up and down the workbed.
D. X-Axis Rail—The X-axis rail holds the 2nd mirror and supports the movement of the laser head left and right across the
workbed.
E. Laser Head—The laser head holds the 3rd mirror, the focus lens, the red dot guidance, and the air assist outlet.
F. Workbed—The workbed can be adjusted in height to fit thinner and thicker materials, as well as adjusted between the
aluminum and honeycomb platforms. This is also where the accessories pack is located when the engraver first arrives.
G. Warnings—This notice supplements the Safety Information chapter of this manual. Read it carefully before using the
machine.
H. Emergency Stop—This button immediately cuts all power to the laser tube in the event of an emergency.
I. Control Panel—The control panel offers hands-on control of the engraving process, including manual movement of the
laser head and firing of the laser.
J. Pass-Through Doors—These doors open to allow larger pieces of material to be fed through the workbed. Additional
care must be taken to avoid seeing or suffering exposure to the laser beam and its reflection.
K. Bottom Front Access Door—This door provides access to the waste hopper for easy cleanup after each project.
L. Inputs—This panel includes the ports for the machine's USB, computer, and internet connections.
M. Right Access Door—This door provides access to the mainboard, motor drivers, and power supplies.
N. Feet—These feet can be rotated down to help anchor the machine in place.
O. Caster Wheels—The front wheels include locks to hold the engraver in place.
P. Top Rear Access Door—This door opens to the laser bay, holding the laser tube and its connections. This is also where
the accessories pack is located when the engraver first arrives.
Q. Power Sockets—These sockets connect to your main power supply, ground the machine, and provide an additional
socket for your pump if needed. It is recommended, however, that you use a separate socket on a different fuse for your
pump and that, for an abundance of safety, you use an industrial chiller to cool your engraver.
This area also includes the intake that provides the pressurized air for the machine's air assist. Periodically check its filter
to keep it clear of any obstruction.
R. Exhaust Fans—These fans pull out gases and airborne debris from the worktable, sending it through your vent to a
window or air purifier.
S. Water Ports—These ports connect to your water chiller to keep your laser tube cool and stable.
