Safety NOTICE Warning and information stickers 1 to 7 are attached inside the control panel and maintenance panel.
Safety and protection devices must be fully functional at all times. In case of assumed or presumed damage of safety devices, disconnect the machine – from the mains. Damaged safety and protection devices need to be replaced by a Trotec technician – immediately.
Safety Technical protective measures 2.6.1 Main switch Pressing the main switch on the backside of the machine to disconnect the machine from the mains power supply. 2.6.2 Key switch Turning the key switch to the “0” position de-energizes the motor, laser source, and electronics.
Safety 2.6.5 Acrylic top lid The type of acrylic top lid depends on the laser type. It protects the operator from uncontrolled emission of dangerous laser radiation. 2.6.6 Side cover The side panels protect from laser light and must always be closed and properly attached.
Safety Regularly check the cooling slots of the cooling system. 2.7.2 Gases, fumes and dust Depending on the materials being processed and the parameters selected, laser processing may generate gases, fumes, aerosols or dust. Depending on the material, such by-products may be toxic. In individual cases, the reaction products may be electrically conductive dusts.
Safety Broken lenses When optical components made of ZnSe (zinc selenide) are destroyed, toxic dust and vapors are produced, which must not be inhaled. The dust can also cause irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory system. If a lens is destroyed during operation, extra care must be taken when removing and cleaning it.

Operation Focusing methods 8.5.1 Focusing the laser beam To be able to engrave and cut precisely, the laser beam must be focused. The energy is focused with a lens system mounted on the movement system in a lens holder. NOTICE The focus of the laser beam (for the high-resolution lens included in the scope of delivery) is 5.08 cm (2 inches) below the lens.
Page 51
Operation 1. Place the focus tool over the material on the X-axis housing. 2. Move the table upwards using the “up” button for the Z-axis on the keyboard. It is not necessary for the fo- cus tool to be removed. The correct focus is set when the focus tool touches the engraving material.
Operation Options 8.6.1 Rotary engraving attachment The rotary engraving attachment is used for engraving cylindrical workpieces. NOTICE Damage to electronics. Inserting or removing the Rotary attachment while the machine is turned on may irreparably damage the electronics. Switch off the machine before inserting or removing the Rotary attachment. Device with cone: Device with drill chuck: Max.
Operation 3. Select the job from the list and place it in the marking field. 4. Add the job to the processing list. 5. Press the start button on the device to start the selected job (see chapter "Control panel"). 8.6.3 Installation and commissioning The processing table must be mounted and positioned in the lowest position.
Operation 8.6.4 Mounting the work piece in the rotary attachment 1. Measure the diameter of the workpiece. 2. Loosen the slide control to clamp the workpiece between the two cones or between the cone and the drill chuck. 3. Switch on the laser machine and wait until the initializing process is com- plete.
The different compounds and densities of rubber sheets lead to slightly varying engraving depths. The settings in the overview table provide a useful indication. Standard rubber material requires relatively high laser power. The TROTEC management soware considerably simplifies the creation of a stamp.
Maintenance MAINTENANCE Safety notes DANGER Improper maintenance can cause serious injury or damage. Maintenance may be carried out only by authorized, trained personnel who are familiar with how to operate the machine and in strict observance of all safety notes. DANGER Fire and explosion risk.
Maintenance 9.1.1 Service life of safety-relevant components The safety-relevant components have a service life of ten years from the date of initial commissioning. NOTICE Aer ten years, an authorized technician must be contacted to check the safety-relevant components and replace them if necessary (e.g. emergency stop, interlock sensors, cover, etc.).
Maintenance NOTICE In order to ensure the maximum availability and lifetime of the system, we recommend that you regularly check the filter, ventilation and exhaust slots and keep the surrounding area clean. A visual inspection of the lenses is likewise recommended before switching on the system.
Maintenance NOTICE Cleaning may only be carried out by qualified personnel. 1. Bring the processing table to a position where you find it easy to clean the surface with window cleaning agents and paper towels. 2. Switch off the unit and disconnect it from the mains. 3.
Cleaning may only be carried out by qualified personnel. Check the lenses and mirror #3 before you start working with the Speedy 50. If you process a lot of cutting jobs, make sure that there is no dust on them. Remove any dust by blowing on the lens and mirror.
Maintenance 1. Loosen the screw that secures the lens and mirror holder to the X-axis and carefully remove the assembly. 2. Hold the assembly and use the optical cleaning fluid included as an accessory with the laser system. 3. Place the assembly on a cloth on the work surface. Apply some lens cleaning fluid to one side of the lens.
