Fiber Laser Marking Machine Installation & Operation Process

Installation Process

1. Unpacking and Inspection

• Carefully unpack the machine and check all components against the packing list

• Inspect for any visible damage during transportation

• Verify all accessories are included (power cables, USB cables, air pump if applicable, etc.)

2. Machine Placement

• Place the machine on a stable, vibration-free work surface

• Ensure adequate space around the machine for ventilation and operation

• Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures

3. Electrical Connections

• Connect to proper power supply (check voltage requirements - typically 110V/220V)

• Ensure proper grounding of the machine

• Connect to computer if required (via USB or network)

4. Cooling System Setup

• For water-cooled models: fill with distilled water and check circulation

• For air-cooled models: ensure ventilation openings are unobstructed

5. Software Installation

• Install the marking software on the connected computer

• Install necessary drivers

• Configure software settings according to machine specifications

Operation Process

1. Startup Procedure

1. Turn on main power switch

2. Start the cooling system (if separate)

3. Power on the laser marking machine

4. Launch the marking software

2. Parameter Setting

• Adjust parameters based on material:

• Laser power (typically 20-100%)

• Marking speed (mm/s)

• Frequency (kHz)

• Filling type (hatching, outline, etc.)

• Q-switch settings (if applicable)

3. Focus Adjustment

• Place sample material on work table

• Adjust Z-axis to achieve proper focal length (use focus tool if provided)

• Test mark to verify focus quality

4. Marking Operation

1. Import or create design in the marking software

2. Position material on work table (use fixtures if necessary)

3. Set origin point (manual or automatic)

4. Preview marking path (simulation if available)

5. Start marking process

5. Shutdown Procedure

1. Turn off laser power

2. Close marking software

3. Power down the machine

4. Maintain cooling system for recommended time (if water-cooled)

5. Turn off main power

Safety Precautions

• Always wear appropriate laser safety glasses

• Never operate with protective covers removed

• Keep flammable materials away from work area

• Follow all manufacturer safety guidelines

• Provide proper ventilation for fumes when marking certain materials

Maintenance

• Regular lens cleaning (use proper cleaning solution and techniques)

• Check and clean ventilation filters

• Monitor cooling system (water level, temperature)

• Lubricate moving parts as recommended

• Schedule professional maintenance as required
