Insulation resistance
Insulation resistance

The insulation resistance is the resistance which is measured at an


electric equipment between a phase connection (L1, L2 or L3) and
the protective earth conductor (PE).

The equipment is disconnected from the mains during transport.


The main switch is in ON position.

According to EN 60204, the insulation resistance must be ≥ 1 MΩ.

TRUMPF laser devices can have an insulation resistance < 1 MΩ


when they are delivered. However it is ensured for these laser
devices that the admissible touch voltage is not exceeded in any
case.

Different types of laser devices are listed in the table on the next
page. Among them there are several ones that can have an
insulation resistance < 1 MΩ due to their type of construction. The
table indicates the minimum measuring value which is admissible
for these types. A laser device can be registered with the mark "All
right", if this value is not undershot.

Regular check If you find out during the regular check of the electrical equipment
that a TRUMPF laser device has an insulation resistance < 1 MΩ,
proceed as follows:

1. Look for the minimal insulation resistance admissible for the


laser device in Tab. 1, page 4.
2. If the measured value is higher than the table value, register
and mark the laser device with "All right".
3. If the measured value is lower than the table value, eliminate
the cause for the lower value and repeat the measurement.
One reason might be that a technical modification that
influences the insulation resistance was carried out at the laser
device after delivery.
4. If you cannot find the cause or cannot elimnate it, contact the
TRUMPF service department to agree upon the further
proceeding.
The contact data (phone No. etc) of the service are to be found
in the operator's manual of the laser device.

2. Information on special risks

This section deals with the special risks, involved in using the laser
device:
Hazards generated by laser light.
Hazards generated by gas and particle emission.
Hazards generated by electrical energy.

You will learn how to protect yourself against these risks.

2.1 Laser light

YAG lasers generate an intensive radiation in the invisible, near


infrared spectral range. This radiation may be hazardous to eyes
and skin.
The most important protection measures for the handling of laser
radiation are defined in the accident prevention regulations "Laser
radiation" (BGV B 2, formerly VBG 93). These accident prevention
regulations refer to the standard EN 60825 "Safety of laser devi-
ces", available as international harmonized standard IEC 825.

Laser classes An important aspect of the regulations is the classification of laser


equipment into certain laser classes, dependent on the hazards
generated by the emitted laser radiation.
The definition of the laser classes is described briefly below. The
precise definition listing limit values can be found in EN 60825.

Class 1 Class 1 means that the laser device is not dangerous in standard
operation with regard to the laser radiation. If observing laser light
through optical instruments is dangerous, then the laser is classi-
fied as class 1M.
TRUMPF Laser achieves class 1 for laser devices by assembling
suitable protective casings and protection covers.The laser device
is classified as class 4 during maintenance and servicing with open
protective casing and with bridged safety switch

Class 2 Class 2 means that the laser emits radiation in the visible wave-
length range (400 – 700 nm). The radiation is not harmful to the
human eye, even when observing it through optical instruments.
The eye lid reflex usually protects the eye when looking into the
beam directly. If observing it through optical instruments is dange-
rous, then the laser is classified as class 2M.

20-05-15-A1-CR02 2008-01 Information on special risks 1-7


Class 3R Class 3R means that the laser emits radiation in the wavelength
range from 302.5 nm to 106 nm. A direct look into the beam may be
dangerous. The risk is, however, less than with Class 3B lasers.

Class 3B Class 3B means that the direct or mirrored beam is dangerous.


The observation of diffuse reflections is usually not dangerous.

Klasse 4 Class 4 means that the laser light is dangerous to eyes and skin.
Appropriate precautions must be taken when operating laser pro-
duct class 4 laser devices, especially a sufficient eye protection by
means of special laser safety goggles.
Laser devices. laser machines and laser device accessories are
assigned to laser classes as follows:

Device, component Laser class


Laser device with closed hood 1
Laser device with open hood 4
Laser light cable 1
Focusing optics under a closed protective cover 1
Fokusing optics without protective cover 4
Laser machines with protective cover 1
Laser machines without protective cover 4
Pilot laser at the exit port (switch, deflection) 3R
Pilot laser at the exit of the focusing optics 2

Safety circuit

If you have integrated the laser device into a unit with laser shiel-
ding cover, ensure that the laser shielding cover is included in the
safety circuit of the laser device. The safety circuit ensures that
laser light can only be emitted from the focusing lens if the laser
protective cover is closed.
The corresponding information is to be found in section "Safety
circuits" of this chapter and in the interface description.
If you operate the laser device without laser protective cover, the
workstation is assigned to the laser class 4. In that case, please
take the necessary protective measures in the danger area of the
laser device.

2.2 Hazardous materials

Especially when handling hazardous materials, we expressly point


out that we can only give examples of danger sources. As the
operator of the unit, you have to estimate the possible danger po-
tential of the materials to be processed and to check and introduce
necessary measures.
For precautionary reasons and independently of the necessary
extraction and filtering devices of the exhaust air duct, it is recom-
mended to provide for a sufficient supply of fresh air in the working
area. In this connection we refer to the TRGS standard (“Technical
regulations for hazardous substances”).

Emission of particles when the extraction system is not


operational!
Harmful gases and particles can enter the respiratory tract if
the laser device is operated without an operational extracti-
Warning on system.
Do not inhale gas or particles.
Only work with a properly working extraction system.
Position the exhaust funnel as near to the processing point
as possible.
Avoid bent or squeezed exhaust hoses.

Dust, aerosols and gases

The following substances are released when processing metallic


materials with the laser:
Dust (particle size over 1 µm).
Aerosols (particle size below 1 µm). An aerosol is a gas (parti-
cularly air) that contains solid or liquid substances in dispersed
form. During laser welding, weld smoke is developed, which
mainly consists of iron and iron oxide.
Gases.

Note
If the designated use allows the processing of non-metallic materi-
als such as semiconductor and synthetic (dielectric) materials, the
gases generated during machining of the these materials must be
observed.

Emission The emission during the processing of metallic materials depends


on the (processing) speed and the cutting gas pressure, if appli-
cable. The emission is minimal in the case of optimum parameters.
In addition to the cutting parameters, the type of material has a
strong influence on the emission.
When processing mild steel, the emission is remarkably lower than
with Cr-Ni materials or galvanized steel sheets. When processing
metallic materials with a laser, aerosol and dust are produced,
97 % of which have a diameter of < 5.7 m.

1-12 Information on special risks 2008-01 20-05-15-A1-CR02


Note
Depending on the utilization of the laser device, carcinogenic sub-
stances can be emitted, depending on the materials processed. If
there is such a risk, the operator has to carry out his own measu-
rements and to take protective measures for the personnel, if re-
quired.

Depending on the utilization of the laser device, carcinogenic sub-


stances can be emitted, depending on the materials processed. If
there is such a risk, the operator has to carry out his own measu-
rements and to take protective measures for the personnel, if re-
quired.

In the metallic sector, carcinogenic substances according to TRGS


560 are for example:
beryllium compounds
chromium/nickel compounds
zinc chromates.

Cutting oils

When treating metallic materials with cutting oils, hydrocarbons


and aldehydes may be released during laser cutting. When using
the cutting oils recommended by TRUMPF Laser, the following
threshold limit values at place of work (TLV) were for example
measured:

Galvanized steel Aluminum alloy


TLV (mg/m3)
sheet (mg/m3) (mg/m3)
Acetaldehyde 0,007 0,005 90
Acetone 0,111 0,204 2400
Butanol 0,334 0,022 300
Butyl acetate 0,081 0,007 950
Decane 0,060 0,004 no limit value
Ethyl acetate 0,237 0,002 1400
Ethylbenzene 0,034 0,004 440
Formaldehyde 0,021 0,013 0,6
All hydrocarbons 2,600 1,875 no limit value
Toluene 0,057 0,12 380
Xylene 0,113 0,013 440
Cutting oils Tab. 1-14

In these cases, the values fall distinctly short of the maximum al-
lowable concentrations (TLV values) (examples of the use of other
cutting oils are not directly applicable).

20-05-15-A1-CR02 2008-01 Information on special risks 1-13


Cutting oils for aluminum processing – such as the oil of the com-
pany Wisura recommended by TRUMPF Laser – contain amine
components so that nitrosamines could theoretically be formed
during laser processing.
However, investigations to that effect showed a negative result in
all tests: Nitrosamines could not be detected.
When using the cutting oils on a chlorine-free basis, recommended
by TRUMPF, the generation of polychlorinated biphenylene
(PCB) and dioxins can be excluded.

Polyethylene-coated sheets When sheets coated with polyethylene films are cut by laser,
mainly aliphatic and olefinic compounds are released:
n-heptane, 1-heptene, heptadiene
n-octane, 1-octene, octadiene
n-nonane, 1-nonene, nonadiene
n-decane, 1-decene, decadiene
n-undecane, 1-undecene, undecadiene
further n-alkane, 1-alkene, diene pairs
Toluene
Ethylbenzene
L-limonene
N-butylbenzenesulfonamide

During measurements in the extracted air flow by means of a total


hydrocarbon analyzer (FID), methane concentrations between 2
and 10 ppm were found.
Therefore, it is not to be expected that limits are exceeded by or-
ganic exhaust air components when polyethylene-coated sheets
are processed by laser. Bad smell may be caused by individual
very low concentrations (ppb range) of odor-intensive exhaust air
components.

2.3 Electrical energy

While carrying out upkeep work, you can come into contact
with dangerous live parts!
Touching live electric parts can be extremely dangerous.
Any work on the electric equipment must be carried out only
Danger
by a trained electrician.
Switch off the laser device prior to any upkeep work.
Secure the laser device against restart.
Before touching electric parts, first check if they are
de-energized.

Malfunctions In case of malfunctions, switch off the electrical energy supply of


the laser device immediately (switch off the main switch).

Stationary device In terms of the safety regulations for the protection against electric
energy, the laser device is a stationary device. Accordingly the
safety standards and accident prevention regulations relevant to
stationary devices are applicable.

This means for you as the operating company:


The laser device must not be moved when it is switched on.

Regular check The electrical safety of the device must be checked regularly, at
least every 4 years. The basis for the check is the German stan-
dard DIN VDE 0702. Outside the scope of this standard, the regu-
lations relevant in the respective region are applicable.

The check must be carried out by a skilled electrician. It contains


among other things the following actions:
visual check, e.g. state of the ground wire and its connection
point.
checking the ground wire resistance.

Fuses Use only original fuses with the specified characteristics and cur-
rent rating.

Voltage when main switch Some components are still under dangerous voltage, even if the
is off main switch is in position OFF. Therefore check first that the parts
that you will touch are dead.

Energy storages The discharge time of energy storages (capacitors) may be more
than 1 minute. Check the parts which are live during operation for
the presence of voltage, also after having switched off the machi-
ne. Start the work on live parts only after you have checked that
their power supply has been cut off.

held liable for any damage resulting from the incorrect wiring of the
E-Stop circuit.

6.2 Safety circuits

The control of the laser device contains interfaces for safety circu-
its (SIK).

What is a safety circuit? A safety circuit is an electric circuit used for monitoring the protec-
tive covers and safety doors. Under the protective cover monitored
by the safety circuit, laser light can only be emitted if the laser pro-
tective cover is closed.

Purpose Safety circuits allow entire systems to be operated as class 1 laser


devices.

ASV board Each safety circuit is connected to an ASV board, which is located
in the control of the laser device. The ASV board controls the opti-
cal shutter, which prevents the emission of laser light when the
safety circuit is open.
ASV: Operating and safety shutter (German for: Arbeits- und Si-
cherheits-Verschluss.)

LLK-coding cables

Fig. 2-14

Interface of an IFO-box An IFO-box (Option) is the interface between a board IIO in the
control of the laser device and a focusing optics. A FO cable led in
parallel to the appertaining laser light cable (LLK) of a light path is
connected to the connector of the IFO-box.
The connected focusing optics is controlled and monitored via the
connected board IIO of the control.

2-16 Connections 2008-01 20-05-15-A1-CR02


Laser light cable (LLK) In connection with the ILN-boxes (Option) in the user compartment
it is also possible to replace laser light cables while the laser stays
available for other light paths. The light path of a LLK to be repla-
ced is blocked automatically, when the safety connector for the
lifting of the locking at the incoupling optics is removed.
Without ILN boxes, the laser is automatically switched off when
replacing the LLK.

Interface for LLK-monitoring The electric cable of the appertaining LLK connector is connected
at the connector for the LLK monitoring in the user compartment.
The LLKs are monitored by the ILN boxes in connection with
ILN-boxes (Option) in the user compartment. Only the appertaining
light path is blocked by unplugging a LLK-monitoring cable.
Without ILN-boxes, the laser is automatically switched off when
unplugging a LLK-monitoring cable.

Interface description for This interface is only available in connection with ILN-boxes (Opti-
SIK-cable or LLK coding on) in the user compartment.
cable
At the connector it is possible to connect:
SIK-cable that is led in parallel to the LLK into the processing
station in case of Fieldbus coded light paths (TLN-fc).
LLK-coding cable that is led in parallel to the LLK into the pro-
cessing station in case of LLK-coded light paths (ILN).

In a SIK-cable there are led:


2-channel safety circuit.
2 status signals via relay contacts.

In a LLK-coding cable are led:


2-channel safety circuit.
2 status signals via relay contacts.
Lines for the coding of the laser device and the light path.

Interface for Fieldbus cables In connection with gateways (Option), in the user compartment it is
possible to realize a Fieldbus coding of the light paths (TLN-fc).
The Fieldbus cable is therefore led, in parallel to the LLK of the
light path, into the processing station to the external control (e. g.
of a robot).
An external control demands laser power via the connected Field-
bus cable from the laser device by means of the assigned light
path.

nects the operating PC directly to the control can be up to 75 m
long.

E/A-interface or fieldbus in- Via the E/A-interface the laser device can be connected to the
terface external control (e.g. PLC) and be controlled from there.
Further information on this subject is to be found in chapter 4 of the
operator's manual and the interface description of the parallel I/O.

You can control the laser device as well via one of the following
Fieldbuses:
Profibus-DP

2-18 Connections 2008-01 20-05-15-A1-CR02


In this case, the board with the I/O interface is replaced by a board
of the selected Fieldbus system. Information about the pin as-
signment and the data format is to be found in the interface desc-
riptions of the selected Fieldbus system.

Analog input The optional interface „Analog input“ enables to set the laser power
as an analog value externally by voltage or current.

Analog output LLR / analog Via the interfaces of the boards laser power control (LLR) and In-
output ILV terface lamp power supply (ILV) it is possible to tap a voltage cor-
responding to the laser power potential-free.

Safety circuit interface The safety circuit interface of the laser device enables:
to integrate external safety devices into the safety circuit of the
laser device.
to connect an external laser warning lamp.
to display status signals externally.

A shutter switch releases the appertaining light path, if the safety


circuit of the shutter switch is closed.

Interface to connect the The control panel to switch the control on and off is connected to
control panel the interface X12. If you would like to operate the laser device
without control panel, it must be ensured in another way that the
signals generated by the control panel are applied to this interface.

Interface for external control If you would like to switch the functions ”Control on", "Control off"
from an external device (e. g. PLC), you will find the required con-
tacts at the interface X8 on the board SUN. Furthermore the inter-
face contains contacts to connect an external laser warning lamp
and an external monitoring lamp.

E-Stop interface Via the E-Stop interface you can:


connect further E-Stop push-buttons to the laser device.
or
integrate the laser device into a higher-ranking E-Stop circuit.

The higher-ranking E-Stop circuit can belong to a plant of which


the laser device is a part.

Note
Lay the cables to the external E-Stop devices in such a way that
they are not exposed to any danger, e.g. by crushing or being run
over.

4.3 Compressed air connection

If the cooling unit of a laser device shall be emptied (e.g. before


transport or longer storage), a blow-off device which is integrated
in the laser device is required for emptying the cooling lines.
The laser device must be supplied with compressed air for the
operation of the blow-off device.

Note
Dimension the tube system for the external cooling water so
that the required differential pressure is applied directly at the
device connections.

1. Determine the maximum possible supply temperature of the


external cooling water.
2. Read off the minimum water requirement at the corresponding
characteristic curve of water requirement (Fig. "example" left).
- In the example: Water requirement at maxium power con-
sumption at 16°C supply temperature: 2 m³/h.
3. Read off the pressure difference applicable for this flow quan-
tity between supply and return of the cooler at its characteristic
curve (Fig. "Example" right).
- In the example: 1 bar
4. TRUMPF Laser recommend a safety reserve of 0,5 bar in or-
der to compensate a slight soiling of the filter and measuring
inaccuracies on site.
- In the example: 1,5.

You must reach a minumum pressure difference > 1 bar to


ensure the function of the internal solenoid valves!
The determined values for the water requirement and the pressure
loss are dimensioned in such a way that the laser device works
reliably. If you operate the laser device with smaller values, you
reduce the control reserve of the cooler. If you operate the laser
device with smaller values, you reduce the controller reserve of the
cooler. The consequence may be that monitoring and fault mes-
sages are often displayed due to overtemperature. The operation
of the laser device is interrupted by the messages.

must meet at least the requirements indicated in the following ta-
ble.
The use of a chiller is not required when using an optional internal
cooling block.

6.5 Laser cooling circuit

Cooling means Deionized water


Quantity ca. 95 l
Conductivity 1 - 5 µS
Specifications on the laser cooling circuit Tab. 2-13

Conductivity Low conductivity of the cooling water increases the utilization peri-
od of the deionizing filter.
The conductivity of the cooling water in the laser cooling circuit is
controlled to a value in the range 2,5 µS .. 3,5 µS. If the value is
more than 1µS below /or 1,5 µS above this range, a monitoring or
a fault message is indicated.
If the conductivity of the cooling water in the laser cooling circuit
increases over 5 S or falls below 5 S, a monitoring message is
indicated. Then you can still operate the laser device.
If the conductivity of the cooling water in the laser cooling circuit
increases over 8 S, then a fault message is indicated. Then you
only can operate the laser device again, if you have replaced the
cooling water and the deionizing filter of the laser cooling circuit.
The replacement of the deionizing filter and the cooling water is
described in chapter "Maintenance".
If the conductivity falls below 0,5 µS, then a fault message is indi-
cated as well. The laser device can no longer be operated. In this
case contact the TRUMPF Laser service department.

Cooling of externally-bought DI water from the cooling circuit of the laser can result in cor-
components rosion in components containing materials not resistant to DI
water. Corrosion products that enter the laser device via the
cooling circuit can cause damage in the laser.
TRUMPF Laser shall only be liable in accordance with legal
regulations for damage caused by defects in devices or com-
ponents delivered by TRUMPF Laser. TRUMPF Laser cannot
be held liable for damage caused by foreign products.

IP 54 Protection class IP 54 only takes effect, if all hoods, doors and


covers are closed. In case of strong environmental stress by dust
or aerosols, TRUMPF Laser recommends creating a housing -
which protects the laser even in the opened state against environ-
mental influences - around the laser device.

Dew point If warm and humid air reaches cold surfaces, condensation water
is formed at certain temperatures. This condensation water can
lead to faults of the electrical and optical components or even to
their failure.
Therefore, for avoiding condensation water, it is required that the
ambient conditions at the laser device are within certain limits.

Dew point diagram Fig. 2-24

In order to determine the ambient conditions, the ambient tempe-


rature and the air humidity in the environment of the laser device
must be measured.
If the required ambient conditions are not kept, a corresponding
environment must be created for the laser device artificially (cabin,
air conditioning).

the Telepresence. Via a modem it is possible to call up the operat-
ing and check data as well as all measuring values at any time and
to transmit them to each TRUMPF service office.
On demand of the customer, the TRUMPF service specialists carry
out a preventive maintenance at the laser devices by means of the
Telepresence. Furthermore faults can be diagnosed quickly, and
immediately be evaluated and remedied. In large part on-site ac-
tions are not required and the standstill periods on the customers’
premises are reduced significantly.

For the operation of the option Telepresence a telephone connec-


tion with the following characteristics is required:
Signal shape: analog
Connection: RJ 12 or TAE

The optical arrangement contains all components for guidance of


the laser light within the laser device until the beam enters the in-
coupling optics. The laser light cable is connected to the incoupling
optics.
The components of the optical arrangement are grouped and ar-
ranged according to the respective machining task.
The components of the optical arrangement are mostly accommo-
dated in transparent plastic cases. Between the components there
are metal beam guard elements of circular cross section.
The following picture shows an example of an optical arrangement.
The picture shows the main components available for optical ar-
rangements. The meaning and function of the components are
explained below.
A representation of your optical arrangement is to be found in the

*LEM: Power and energy measuring sensor


The laser light is fed in at the point to which the arrow designated
“LASER” is pointing.

The central shutter VZ can block or enable the laser light for all
light paths.

The positions of the shutter switches VW determine to which light


path the laser light is guided.

Further information on the functions of the optical arrangement


components is written below.

Fig. 3-5

By means of the central shutter is possible to block (chart A) or to


release (chart B) the emission of the laser beam.
If the laser beam is released, it passes through the central shutter
as shown in chart B. If the laser beam is blocked, the central shut-
ter guides it into the absorber (3), where it is transformed into heat.
In the currentless state the central shutter is blocked.
The central shutter has 2 functions:

Working function Working function In the working function the central shutter is
opened and closed by user commands and laser programs as long
as the safety circuit is closed.

Safety function If the safety function is interrupted, the central shutter is closed
immediately. This happens as well when the there is the command
for opening by the user or by the running laser program.
Further information on the operating mode and the wiring of the
safety circuit is to be found in the interface description Safety circu-
it ASV.

3-8 Optical arrangement 2008-01 20-05-15-A1-CR02


Shutter (V1, V2, ...)

The shutter can enable or lock a light path. When the shutter
enables the light path, the laser beam passes through it as shown
in picture B (see "Fig. 3-5", pg. 3-8). When the shutter closes the
light path, the laser beam will be guided into an absorber (picture
A).
The shutter is opened or closed by operator-originated commands
or laser programs.
When the shutter is controlled by an ASV or ASV2 board, it can be
integrated into a safety circuit. In this case it has not only an ope-
rating function, but also a safety function. What has been said
regarding the safety function for the central shutter will then also
apply analogously to the light path in which the shutter is located.

Switch (W1, W2, ...)

1 Mirror moved out of beam guideway 3 Mirror in beam guideway


2 Laser beam passes through in a straight line 4 Laser beam is deflected by 90°

Fig. 3-6

The laser beam can be guided optionally into one of two directions
by means of a beam switch.
If the mirror is in the beam guideway, the laser beam is deflected
by 90° (picture B). If the beam is swiveled out of the beam guide-
way, the laser beam passes through the beam switch in a straight
line (picture A).
The beam switch can be controlled by user commands or by laser
programs.

A shutter switch is a switch with a safety function. Its design does
not differ from that of a usual switch. The difference lies in the ac-
tivation of the shutter switch by an ASV or ASV2 board. The shut-
ter switch is integrated into a safety circuit via the ASV or ASV2
board.
Thus, the shutter switch has two functions:

Operating function In the operating function the shutter switch is controlled by opera-
tor-originated commands or laser programs as long as the safety
circuit is closed

Safety function When the safety circuit is interrupted, the shutter switch is set
immediately to direct the laser beam into an absorber (see "Fig.
3-7", pg. 3-10) (picture A) . This also happens when a different
command comes from the operator or from the running laser pro-
gram.
Information about functioning and wiring of the safety circuit is to
be found in the interface description safety circuit ASV.
The number of shutter switches in an optical arrangement is usu-
ally identical to the number of light paths. The shutter switches are
arranged in series. They are activated in such a way that at most
one shutter switch is open (mirror in the beam guideway, (see
"Shutter switch (VW1, VW2, ...)", pg. 3-10) (pictures B and C)).
This ensures that when the safety circuit is interrupted the laser
beam is always directed into the absorber which is the last in the
series.

Shutter switch with pilot laser

1 pilot laser 3 Pilot laser beam


2 Shutter switch mirror

Fig. 3-8

The casing of the shutter switch with pilot laser houses a semi-
conductor laser is (1). The semiconductor laser works as pilot laser
of the light path to which shutter switch is assigned. In contrast, the
central pilot laser can be used in all light paths.

Advantage The pilot laser in the shutter switch can be used while the working
laser light is being guided to a different light path. This makes it
possible to use the pilot laser at processing point, while workpieces
are being machined at a different point.

Shutter switch functions The basic shutter switch functions (work and safety function) are
identical, as are those of the shutter switch without pilot laser (see
"Fig. 3-7", pg. 3-10).

Switching the pilot laser on The pilot laser can be switched on as soon as the shutter switch
mirror has been swiveled out of the beam guideway (shutter closed
(see "Fig. 3-8", pg. 3-12)).
Switching on the workstation with the user interface is described in
chapter "Operation" .

Laser classes The pilot laser has been classified as a Class 3R component.
This must be taken into account when it is operated, for example
by the service, after removal from the unit.
In standard operation, the pilot laser light emitted from the focu-
sing optics outlet corresponds to class 2.

Physical splitter with adjustable splitter ratio

Fig. 3-9

The physical splitter with adjustable splitter ratio contains a se-


mi-transparent mirror with variable transparency over the angle of
rotation. Accordingly, the splitter ratio depends on the angular posi-
tion of the mirror.
The proportion a of the deflected beam can be set to a value in the
range from 20% to 80% on an actuator (arrow).

Deflection (U1, U2, ...)

Fig. 3-10

The deflection deflects the laser beam by 90° to the right or left.

20-05-15-A1-CR02 2008-01 Optical arrangement 3-13


Deflection 2 x 45°

Fig. 3-11

The deflector 2 x 45 deflects the laser beam via 2 mirrors by 90°. A


LEM can be attached to this deflector.

Power and energy measuring sensor (LEM)

Fig. 3-12

The LEM produces an electric signal which corresponds to the


momentary power of the laser. The power of the laser or the ener-
gy of laser pulses can be determined by this.
The LEM is attached to the end mirror of the laser or to a deflection
of the optical arrangement. Through the end mirror, or through the
mirror of the deflection, a small part of the laser power is coupled
out and fed into the LEM.
If the laser device is provided with a laser power control, the LEM
measures the actual value of the laser power.

3.2 Selecting light path

The positions of the mirrors in the controllable components of the


optical arrangement (beam switches, shutter switches, shutters)
determine the light path.

Light path determined by VW2 Fig. 3-13

In this picture the mirror of shutter switch VW2 has been swiveled
into the beam guideway. At this point, the laser is deflected by 90°
and coupled into the laser light cable connected to this light path.

Light path determined by VW1 Fig. 3-14

In this picture the mirror of shutter switch VW1 has been swiveled
into the beam guideway. At this point, the laser is deflected by 90°
and coupled into the laser light cable connected to this light path.

20-05-15-A1-CR02 2008-01 Optical arrangement 3-15


Light path in the absorber Fig. 3-15

In this picture the mirrors of the shutter switches VW1 and VW2
have been swiveled out of the beam guideway. The laser beam
passes through both shutter switches in a straight line and enters
the absorber, where it is converted into heat.
In case of beam switches with safety function (shutter switches)
and shutters, the mirror is positioned such, after interruption of the
appertaining safety circuit, that the laser beam is guided into an
absorber or to a safe light path.

Light paths can be selected:


via the software interface of the laser device (see chapter
"Description").
in laser programs (see chapter "Description").

5. Laser light cable (LLK-D)

Fig. 3-18

Purpose The laser light cable is a flexible transmission medium for laser
beams. It allows spatial separation between laser and machining
station.

Design In the interior of the laser light cable there is light guide, which
guides the laser beam from the laser device to the focusing optics.
The light guide is surrounded by a plastic tube and a steel casing.
The steel casing protects the light guide from mechanical stress. It
limits the bending radius of the laser light cable.
The steel casing is surrounded by an external plastic tube which
protects the laser light cable against environmental effects.
A safety device integrated into the laser light cable switches the
laser automatically off, when the optical wave guide is damaged or
the laser light cable at the laser or at the focusing optics is pulled
out.

Monitoring The laser light cable is monitored on the whole length. The laser
device switches off immediately and no more laser light may be
emitted if a fault occurs in the laser light cable.
The fit of the two optical plugs is monitored as well. If an optical
plug is loosened, the laser device immediately switches off.
The integrated monitoring of the laser light cable is connected with
the safety circuit of the laser device by means of the electrical plug.

Laying the LLK Outside the laser cabin, laser light cables must be installed per-
manently.

To do so, use:
Cable clamps
Cable ducts
Other appropriate auxiliaries for fastening cables.

Inside laser cabins which are monitored by a safety circuit, laser


light cables can be laid freely and loosely.

6. Focusing optics

Fig. 3-20

The focusing optics focuses the laser light onto the processing
point. The high power density required for the material processing
is generated thereby.
Focusing optics are composed of modules according to the requi-
rements of the respective task.

7. Control

Fig. 3-22

The control unit controls all functions of the laser device. Apart
from this, it monitors numerous operational values and reports
when a value is outside the permitted range.
The control unit contains interfaces to higher-ranking control units.
They allow an external control of the laser device. Further informa-
tion about this is to be found in chapter 2 of this manual and in the
interface descriptions.

Controlling The most important functions are:


Switching the laser on and off
Controlling the optical arrangement
Controlling the laser power
Communication with external units (e.g. PLC).

Monitoring The control unit also monitors the following operational values:
Laser power
Temperature of the coolants
Temperatures within the area of the laser and of the optical
arrangement
Condition of the laser light cable
Safety contacts at the processing points.

Messages If the operational value is outside the admissible range, the control
generates a monitoring message or a fault message.
The message is indicated on the screen of the operating PC. In
case of a fault, the control prevents the operation of the laser until
the cause for the fault is eliminated.

Fig. 3-26

The laser cooler dissipates the heat arising in the laser through a
heat exchanger to an external cooling circuit. The temperature of
the laser circuit is regulated to a constant value.

According to the situation at the installation site, it may be required


to operate the laser device with an integrated cooling block or an
external chiller. The technical data for an external chiller are to be
found in the chapter "Installation conditions, transport". Further
information on the cooling block:(see "Cooling block (Option) ", pg.

Laser and monitoring status The displays are LED imitations. They are used to display status
information in different colors:
green: control command executed, safe state, e.g. ”laser is on"
red: unexpected state, alarm, e.g. ”fault"
black: signal not active.

More information about the laser status is given in chapter "Opera-


tion".
More information about the monitoring status is given in chapter
"Conduct in case of service interruptions".

Light paths status If the central shutter (VZ) is open, it is represented in bold charac-
ters.
The number of the selected light path is represented in bold cha-
racters. For indicating the status, the light path numbers are high-
lighted in color.

• The safety circuit of the ASV board is open because the
Red two-channel safety circuit of the ILN box is open.
• Laser light cable OK.
Red and yellow indicate an open safety circuit of the ASV board. As both
colors cannot be displayed simultaneously, yellow takes precedence over
red. A statement about the yellow status of the two-channel safety circuit is
thus not possible.

3.7 Programming light paths

In connection with light paths, the following actions are possible


under WinLas:
Selecting light paths (see "Selecting light path", pg. 4-13).
Editing light path names (see WinLas manual)
Programming light paths.
Managing light paths (see "Program management", pg. 4-29).

Definitions Programming a light path means:


Defining the position of switch mirrors and shutter mirrors in
the optical arrangement.
• Storing the information on mirror positions in a data record for
the light path.

TRUMPF Laser has already programmed all possible light paths


for the optical arrangement of your laser device. Each light path
leads through a laser light cable to a processing point. Two or mo-
re laser light cables may belong to one light path when optical
splitters are used.

Editing light path names Every light path can be given a user name.
Please refer to the WinLas manual for further information on autho-
rization and processing.

Programming light paths Programming light paths should be done exclusively by the
TRUMPF Laser service engineers (from user level 70). This is only
necessary if the optical arrangement of the laser device was
changed in such a way that other light paths become possible or
previous light paths are no longer possible.

4. Controlling the laser device externally

The laser device can be controlled via interfaces by:


externally defining the time course of the laser power
externally controlling the entire laser device.

How to operate the laser device manually with WinLas is described


in section "Operating laser device with WinLas".

Externally defining the laser The set point for the laser power can be externally defined, e.g. by
power a function generator, a CNC control unit or a robot. You have two
possibilities:
with an analog voltage or current signal through the analog
input card
through a field bus (Interbus-S, Profibus-DP or DeviceNet ).

Controlling the laser device The following laser device functions can be externally controlled
functions externally via the control unit I/O interface, by using, for example, a PLC:
Laser on / off.
Standby.
Start / Stop and call-up of laser programs.
Reset.

The condition for externally controlling the laser device is that ope-
rating modes and laser parameters are stored in laser programs.
Laser devices of TRUMPF Laser can be controlled by external
control units (e.g. PLC) via a parallel input/output interface or field
bus boards. Depending on the used interface mode, max. one
parallel input/output interface or 3 field bus boards can be used in
the control unit of the laser device.

For an external controlling of the laser device, both following inter-


face modes are possible:
Standard mode: max. 1 parallel input/output interface or 1 field
bus board
Multi-PLC Interface (MPI): max. 3 field bus boards in the
control unit of the laser device.

Note
With the option MPI, in connection with an Interbus-Master in the
control unit of the laser device, it is possible to connect up to 32
external control units to the laser device.

The Multi-PLC Interface (MPI) enables the use of TRUMPF


LASERNETWORK (TLN or TLN-fc).

The hardware requirements for the control of the laser device have
to be met. In particular there must be an appropriate connection
between laser device and the external control.

Note
The signal connection between laser device and external control
unit must have adequate interference immunity.

Defining the change in laser power

1. Carefully plan the change in laser power for the individual


phases of machining the workpieces.
2. Determine for which phases:
– constant power values are used in laser programs
– pulse shapes are used
– the course of power is externally defined.
3. Generate pulse shapes and store them in the control unit of the
laser device (see WinLas manual).
4. Create laser programs and store them in the control unit of the
laser device (see WinLas manual).
Note
Laser programs offer the following possibilities of determining
the change in laser power:
– Using constant values (square-wave pulse, continuous
wave).
– Calling up pulse shapes.
– Externally defining the laser power:
· analog.
· through field bus interface, if present.

7. Replacing the pump module

A pump unit which generates pumped light for excitation of the


laser is assigned to each cavity of the laser device. Each pump unit
contains 4 pump modules than can be replaced individually.

Failure There are the following reasons for replacing pump modules:
A pump module has failed. In this case, a warning message
which indicates the failed pump module is displayed on the
operating PC.
Operation of the laser device cannot be continued unless you
changed the failed pump module.
A pump module releases insufficient pump light (e.g. power
reduction at the end of the service life).
This may be the case when a message is repeatedly dis-
played: “Excessive controller action”.
IIn this case, the operator, depending on his experience, de-
cides which pump module is to be replaced. It is also possible
that several pump modules must be replaced due to aging.
Special case: message due to failure of a pump module be-
cause of defective stack (see below).

Special case If a pump module failed due to a defective stack, and the pump
module bridging circuit is released:
A monitoring message indicates the impending maintenance
work.
The message text indicates which pump module failed.
In the main dialog down to the left a dialog "PM-bridging cir-
cuit“ with the following functions is displayed.
– Display of the remaining term (emergency operation), be-
ginning with 50 hours.
– Button „Acknowledge pump module failed“ for the ac-
knowledgement of the message.

20-05-15-A1-CR02 2008-01 Replacing the pump module 5-15


Fig. 5-8
In order to ensure that the user is informed about the operation
with pump module bridging, the remaining term is displayed per-
manently, until the laser device reports a fault. Only after acknowl-
edgement, the updated time remaining to the standstill of the laser
device is displayed. When the remaining term is expired after ac-
knowledgement, a further operation of the laser device is only pos-
sible, if the failed pump module was replaced.
Nach Ablauf der Restlaufzeit nach dem Quittieren ist ein weiterer
Betrieb des Lasergeräts erst möglich, wenn das ausgefallene
Pumpmodul ersetzt wurde.
If the failed pump module was replaced, the dialog „PM-bridging
circuit“ is automatically faded out, if the laser is switched on.

Assistance from service Contact the TRUMPF Laser Service Department if you are not sure
division which pump modules are to be replaced.
Qualification Pump modules may only be replaced by instructed persons. Con-
tact the TRUMPF Laser Service Department, if you need further
information on this.
Order You must proceed in the indicated order.

Maintenance work of the electrical system confines itself to


chang-ing fuses or switching on the automatic circuit breakers
when they are disconnected due to a malfunction.
A blown fuse has to be changed. A circuit breaker that has become
disconnected must be switched on again. This is indicated by the
failure of partial functions or through corresponding messages on
user’s interface.

1. Service interruptions

TRUMPF Laser laser devices are equipped with extensive monito-


ring functions that ensure reliable operation. In case of anomalies
from normal operation, messages are displayed which indicate
necessary measures, if possible.
However, during operation of the laser device, events may occur
which cause service interruptions. In this case, the causes of the
service interruption must be eliminated before operation can be
continued.

1.1 Measures in case of service interrup-


tions

Work on the laser device might bear risks for you or others!
If such risks are not avoided, they can lead to death, serious
injuries or considerable damage to property.
Causes for service interruptions may only be remedied by
Danger
persons who are sufficiently familiar with the laser device.
Switch off laser device and secure it against being switched
on again, if it is not absolutely necessary to switch it on.
Before touching parts which are live during operation, check
whether they are dead.
Wear personal protective equipment if required for the cor-
responding action (e.g. laser safety goggles, safety gloves).
Observe the safety instructions and warnings of these opera-
ting instructions and of other documents.

1. Identify the cause of the service interruption.


2. Carry out recommended measures according to the instructi-
ons of the manual, if applicable.

If you cannot identify or eliminate the cause of service inter-


ruptions:
Number of the message that is displayed on the monitor of the
operating PC.
the events which caused the service interruption.

The service of TRUMPF Laser will carry out all necessary work in
order to allow you to operate the laser device as soon as possible.

2. Identifying causes

Different factors outside and inside the laser device can be taken
into consideration as causes for service interruptions. Before taking
measures, you should know as much as possible about the cause
of service interruption.

Causes of a service interruption may be the following, e.g.:


Unsatisfactory machining results due to:
– Defective workpieces.
– Soiled protective glasses of the processing optics.
Errors in programs:
– Pulse shapes.
– laser programs.
– Light paths.
– Sequential programs in external control units (PLC etc).
Error in wiring of interfaces in case of external control of the
laser device.
Maloperation.
Malfunctions in the laser device.

Having identified the cause, take appropriate measures to elimina-


te it. Please contact the Service Department of TRUMPF Laser if
you need assistance.

3. Monitoring and faults

3.1 Monitoring

Numerous operational values of the laser device are monitored.

Examples:
Laser power.
Position of the switch mirrors and shutter mirrors.
Temperature and flow of the cooling water.

The operational values are constantly measured and compared to


nominal values or limit values. If an operational value is outside the
permissible range, the control unit of the laser device generates a
monitoring message.

2 "Monitoring" sign 5 Status indicator ”Monitoring"
3 Number of the message

Monitoring message is displayed Fig. 6-1

Items 1, 3 and 4 are indicated in yellow.

Reporting subassembly Subassembly (board) of the control unit that generates the mes-
sage.

"Monitoring" sign This sign indicates a monitoring message even if the status indica-
tor is covered by a dialog field. Color: blue.

Number of the message The number corresponds to the message code which is transmit-
ted from the control unit to the operating PC. The message text
can be displayed at any time by entering this number in the dialog
box ”Search message text".

Select >Diagnosis >Search message text.

Short message text The short text gives the operator one-line information on the cause
of the message.

Status indicator “Monitoring” The status indicator "Monitoring" lights up in red if a monitoring
message is displayed.

Note
When a monitoring is displayed you can still operate the laser de-
vice. You should eliminate the cause at the next opportunity. If you
do not remedy the cause, it may be possible that a monitored ope-
rational value exceeds the fault limit in the near future (see section
Fault).
In case of a fault you can only continue to operate the laser device,
when the cause is eliminated..

3.2 Fault

When a monitored operational value is far outside the permissible


range, a critical condition will probably have been reached which
does not allow the operation of the laser device to be continued.
This is why fault limits are set which the operational values are
compared to.

If an operational value exceeds a fault limit:


the laser is deactivated automatically.
a fault message is displayed on the screen.

A fault message is displayed Fig. 6-3

Items 1, 4 and 5 are indicated in red.


In addition to a fault message(see "Fig. 6-1", pg. 6-4) the following
is indicated if a fault occurs:

”Fault" sign This sign indicates a fault message even if the status indicator is
covered by a dialog field.

Status indicator ”Fault" In addition to the status indicator ”Monitoring", the status indicator
"Fault" lights up in red if a fault message is displayed.

Note
In case of malfunction, the laser device cannot be operated until
the cause of the malfunction has been eliminated and the laser
device has been reset. For more information on this, please refer
to the section “How to respond to messages” in chapter "Operati-
on".
