4.1 Installation Overview
A complete working system consists of the fiber laser source, the laser arm with the galvanometer
lens, a computer (not included) with engraving software (included), all applicable connection
cables, a support column and a worktable. Users can also configure other additional accessories
(such as a rotary axis) to suit their needs.
Use ONLY the hardware, wiring, and power sources that came with or are
compatible with this device.
Installing equipment that your device is not designed to work with can lead to
poor performance, shortened service time, increased maintenance costs, property
damage, and personal injury.
Please note the specific requirements of your system's installation. EVERY customer MUST
understand these notes BEFORE installation to execute a proper setup and achieve safe laser
performance. If you have any installation questions or problems, contact our technicians and
customer support team.
ANY auxiliary equipment MUST be adjusted to the base machine. Queries may be directed to the
dealer or manufacturer of such equipment.
4.2 Selecting a Location
Prior to assembling your fiber laser marker, select a location that meets all of the following requirements:
• Be sure that it meets all of the requirements discussed in
• The location should be stable, level, dry, and climate controlled to ensure an ambient
temperature 32 ℉ –104 ℉ (0 ℃ –40 ℃ ) and an ambient humidity under 70%. In particular, the
temperature and humidity together should not be close to the dew point. It is recommended
to use a windowless room or to use blinds and/or curtains to avoid exposure to the potential
additional heat of direct sunlight.
• The location should be free of dust and other airborne pollutants and well ventilated enough to
process ANY fumes produced by the engraving process in accordance with ALL applicable laws
and regulations. Depending on the materials to be processed, this may require construction of a
dedicated ventilation system.
• It should be away from children; combustible, flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials; and
sensitive EMI devices.
• The power cord should be plugged into a compatible and stable power source via a grounded
3-prong outlet. No other item should be drawing current from the same fuse.
• There should be fire-fighting equipment nearby and the local fire station's phone number should
be clearly displayed.
• It is highly recommended to have an extra work table nearby in order to avoid placing objects
on or directly adjacent to the machine, which could become a fire or laser hazard.
