Use location
*1 : No condensation or freezing shall be allowed.
*2 : If there is a gap between the stored temperature and operating temperature, make sure to have the product get used
to the operating ambient temperature gradually prior to use to prevent the dew condensation.
*3 : The controller is non-compliant with the ingress protection rating. The ingress protection characteristics of the head
are ensured only when the fiber unit, cables, and the cover of the output beam diameter control are mounted properly.
• Do not install the laser welding machine at a place where vibrations and shocks can be directly transmitted to it.
• Do not use this product at a place with oil mist.
• In case this product is used in a dusty environment, take measures to prevent dust from entering into the controller, e.g.
using a storage housing.
• When installing the controller in the storage housing,
use a housing equipped with panel cooler or heat
exchanger to maintain the air-cooling performance of
the laser welding machine according to the ambient
temperature.
• Remove any dust and smoke from the laser emission port and laser beam path using a dust collector. For effective dust
collection, put the suction port of the dust collector near the lasing position. In an environment where dust and smoke
that tend to attach to the lens surface, it is recommended to create a compression air flow to ensure thorough dust
collection.
