 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
General
This Operator's Manual describes the Operation and Maintenance of the WL-300A workstation based on the
LM-F Fiber Laser Marker, and provides instructions relating to its SAFE use. Procedures described in this
manual must be performed as detailed by qualified and trained personnel.
For SAFETY, and to effectively take advantage of the full capabilities of the Laser, please read this instruction
manual, the Laser Marker Operator Manual (Amada Weld Tech Part Number 990-559) and the Laser Safety
Manual (Amada Weld Tech Part Number 990-502) thoroughly before attempting to use the Laser.
After reading this manual, retain it for future reference when any questions arise regarding the proper and
SAFE operation of the Laser.

Operation
Always operate the Laser with the workstation enclosure closed and the safety interlock satisfied. The design
of the enclosure and protective glass make the laser a Class 1 product when used as intended. When operating
the system as intended it is not required to wear laser safety eyewear. Do not bypass the door interlock, remove
panels, or modify the enclosure or it will revert to a Class 4 configuration.
If operating or servicing the Laser with panels removed, the interlock bypassed, or similar always wear
Protective Goggles having an optical density of at least 7+ at a wavelength of 1060-1150 nanometers for the
operation of the Laser.
Follow all OSHA requirements for workplace safety. Appoint a Laser Safety Officer. The Laser Safety Officer
(LSO) must provide personnel with sufficient training so that personnel can operate, maintain and service the
Laser safely. The LSO must take charge of the key to the Key Switch to ensure that only qualified and
authorized personnel operate the Laser Marker.
Establish and control a dedicated Laser Operation Area. The Laser Safety Officer must isolate the Laser
Operation Area from other work areas and display signs warning that the Laser Operation Area is off-limits to
unauthorized personnel.

Maintenance/Service
Before performing any maintenance on the Laser and/or Workstation, read Chapter 4, Maintenance in the 990-
559 manual and/or Section V, Maintenance in this manual thoroughly prior to starting work. Use the appropriate
tools for terminating the connecting cables, being careful not to nick the wire conductors.
Procedures other than those described in this manual or not performed as prescribed in this manual, may expose
personnel to electrical and/or laser radiation hazards.
Do not modify the Laser without prior written approval from Amada Weld Tech.

 WARNING
Wear protective eyewear suitable for the laser being used
When used without the Class 1 workstation or with safety features defeated the laser
requires special safety precautions:
Always wear protective eyewear when using the laser in this manner.
Keep in mind that exposure of the eyes to direct laser irradiation may result in blindness,
even when wearing protective eyewear.

Never aim the laser at any part of your own body or other people
Exposure to laser beams will cause severe burns.
Never aim the laser at yourself or at anyone else.

Do not touch workpieces during or just after marking

Workpieces may be very hot.

Avoid rotational pinch points

A rotational pinch point exists at the belt drive mechanism. Do not attempt to adjust or
touch while the system is moving.

Avoid marked pinch points

Labeled pinch points should be avoided. The rear corner of the door has a pinch point on
each side that should be avoided and are clearly labeled. The motion stages installed in
the unit can also present pinch points. Do not operate the motion stages with the door
open. Do not touch the motion stages while the system is moving.

Avoid damaging the delivery fiber

Do not twist, kink or attempt to remove the fiber.
Do not attempt to coil or bend the fiber tighter than a 4.7 inch (120mm) radius.
Doing any of these actions will required factory refurbishment of the laser and will void the
warranty.

Stop using the Laser if any problems arise

Continuing to use the Laser in the presence of abnormalities (fumes, unusual sounds,
excessive heat, smoke, and so forth) may result in electric shock or fire.
In this case, immediately turn the Laser OFF and contact your Amada Weld Tech dealer
or Amada Weld Tech.

Ground the Laser and Workstation

Failure to ground the Laser may result in electric shock if the Laser or Workstation is
damaged or if electrical leaks occur.

Guidelines for Normal Use
1. Appoint a Laser Safety Officer (LSO). Ensure that the LSO has as much expertise and experience
with lasers and laser equipment as possible.
The LSO, who will be in charge of the laser key switch, is responsible for familiarizing users with
safety issues and for coordinating laser marking.
2. Partition off all areas that may be exposed to laser light if operated outside of Class 1.
The LSO is responsible for posting signs to keep unauthorized personnel out of the marking area.
3. Install the Laser and Workstation on a solid, level surface that meets all applicable safety rules,
regulations, and requirements.
• To prevent errant marking, place workpieces on the same stand as the Laser Head so that the
workpieces do not vibrate during marking.
4. To ensure optimal marking quality, use the Laser in a location where ambient temperatures are 41ºF
to 95ºF (5°C to 35°C), free of sudden temperature fluctuations and a relative humidity less than 90%
(non-condensing). Do not use the laser workstation in any of the following locations:
• Locations with excessive dirt, dust, oil mist, fumes, metalliferous dust, or moisture.
• Locations in which the unit may be subject to vibration or impact.
• Locations in which the unit may be exposed to chemicals.
• Locations near sources of high-frequency noise, or
• Locations in which condensation may form on the unit's surface.
5. If the room temperature changes quickly (as when a heater is turned ON in cold weather), moisture
may condense on the optical components, resulting in fogging or collection of dust.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature. Under the conditions in which condensation may occur, wait
for a period of time after turning the unit ON before beginning operations.
6. If the exterior of the unit becomes soiled, wipe it with a soft lightly moistened or dry cloth.
Clean heavily soiled areas with a cloth moistened with diluted neutral detergent or alcohol. Do not
use paint thinner, acetone, benzene, or similar chemicals, which may discolor or damage the unit.
7. Operate the switches and buttons gently by hand.
8. For more consistent marking, allow the unit to thermally stabilize for approximately 10 to 30 minutes
before use.
Note: The appropriate warm-up time will depend on the ambient temperature and work piece material.

arbitrator, or in the case that only one arbitrator is required and the parties are unable to agree, then the International Court of Arbitration shall choose the
arbitrator. The language to be used in the arbitral proceeding shall be English. The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to issue an award that is contrary to
the express terms of this Agreement or the laws of the State of California or applicable US Federal Law, and the award may be vacated or corrected on
appeal to a court of competent jurisdiction for any such error. The arbitrator(s) shall be specifically empowered to allocate between the parties the costs of
arbitration, as well as reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, in such equitable manner as the arbitrator(s) may determine. The arbitrator(s) shall have the
authority to determine issues of arbitrability and to award compensatory damages, but they shall not have authority to award punitive or exemplary
damages. Judgment upon the award so rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction or application may be made to such court for judicial
acceptance of any award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. In no event shall a demand for arbitration be made after the date when institution
of a legal or equitable proceeding based upon such claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party shall have the right, without waiving any right or remedy available to such party under this Agreement or
otherwise, to seek and obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary or desirable to protect the rights
or property of such party, pending the selection of the arbitrator(s) hereunder or pending the arbitrator(s)’ determination of any dispute, controversy or
claim hereunder.

25. Notices. All notices, request, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications hereunder (each, a “Notice”) shall be in writing and

WL-300A LASER WORKSTATION

xviii 990-940
 Section I: Description
The WL-300A Fiber Laser Workstation is an advanced system designed for low volume production and
uses a high-precision scanning laser fiber laser marker. The system consists of an Amada Weld Tech LM-
F Fiber laser marker power supply upon which a laser safety enclosure is mounted. Together the laser safety
enclosure and LM-F Fiber Laser form one WL-300A workstation. All Amada Weld Tech LM-F fiber laser
markers are available for use in WL-300A. The WL-300A family of workstations includes; WL-P302A,
WL-P303A, WL-P304A, WL-P305A, WL-P306A and WL-P307A. The exact model number is based on
the internal configuration options.

Since the WL-300A is based on a LM-F family laser marker, the 990-559 Operator Manual for the 8-79
LM-F is valid and can be used for any specification or instruction that is not otherwise provided in this
document. Although this document refers to the general term “WL-300A” it will also at times refer to
specific configurations of the laser marker or workstation (ex, LM-F020A-HP or WL-P302A).

The laser safety enclosure component of the WL-300A has an easy to use automated door, 270 degree part
access, tooling plate, fume extraction port, internal lighting, adjustable Z-height for easy focus,
programmatic 6” x 6” rotary axis and Z-axis options and a large viewport for easy process monitoring.
Autofocus options, CCTV, and many other options are available.

Laser Marking
● Permanent marking.
In contrast to ink-based printing, laser marking is
permanent, since the laser beam changes the
material itself.
● Environmentally friendly.
No ink is needed, so no solvent is used.
Recycling marked materials is easier because
they contain no ink.
● Non-contact marking.
Permits marking of curved and concave surfaces.

Laser Welding
● High Speed Welding of Thin Materials
● Weld Dissimilar Metals
Almost any two metals can be welded.
● No heat affected zone
High peak power and low energy reduces or
eliminates heat affected zone compared to
traditional CW laser welding

 Section III. Installation
Planning
When planning for the installation of the WL-300A, make sure that the following conditions are met:
• The WL-300A Workstation should be placed on a firm, level surface that is free from vibration.
If installing on a workbench make sure the table can support the weight of the unit and the table
provides adequate clearance between the rear of the WL-300A and any obstructions. If the unit
is installed on the base assembly ensure adequate clearance exists between the rear of the unit
and any obstructions. Refer to Appendix A for weight limits.
• Do not operate the unit where there is considerable dirt, dust, oil mist, chemicals, fumes,
moisture, metalliferous dust, or near a high-frequency noise source.
• The ambient temperature should be between 41°F and 95°F (5°C to 35°C). The installation area
should be free of sudden temperature fluctuations and have a relative humidity less than 90%
(non-condensing). The area should have no rapid temperature fluctuations, which may cause
dew condensation on the optical surfaces.
• If the inside or outside of the WL-300A is stained, wipe it with a dry or slightly moistened cloth.
If it is badly stained, use a neutral detergent or alcohol to clean it. Do not use paint thinner,
acetone, benzene, etc. which can discolor or deform the parts. Do not use solvents on the laser
window.
• Fume extraction must be used with any process that generates particulate matter to prevent
damage to internal components or safety hazards to operators. The user is responsible for
ensuring that fume extraction meets the specific requirements of the material being processed.
Contact Amada Weld Tech for fume extraction solutions.
• Make sure that the bend radius of the optical fiber on the back of the Laser Head is greater than
4.7” (120mm).
• When locating, ensure that the front air filter and side exhausts are clear for proper ventilation
with at least 6” of clearance.
• The control unit must be placed on a hard surface to allow the bottom laser exhaust to function
as designed. Do not block the bottom exhaust vent by placing the Control Unit on a soft surface
like foam that can prevent adequate airflow.

WL-300A WORK STATION

990-940 3-1
Installation
The WL-300A requires minor assembly prior to use. Follow the procedure below to assemble correctly
and safely. Some operations may require multiple people for safely moving machine components. Failure
to follow these instructions completely voids safety compliance declarations and may damage your
machine and/or void your warranty.

The WL-300A consists of a power supply and enclosure assembly which can be installed on a workbench
or shipped pre-assembled on the base stand. In both cases the laser power supply, fiber optic cable, and
laser isolator are shipped separately and must be installed by the end user.

1) Positioning the WL-300A on a workbench. (Benchtop Systems Only)

WL-300A Models: 8-792-xxx-xxx-Bxx
The top enclosure portion is heavy and bulky. A forklift is recommended to move the top section and
lift it into place on the workbench. Place the forks front-to-back or back-to-front in the enclosure’s
base cavity. Be aware that the weight is biased towards the rear of the unit. Use Caution when
moving the enclosure as the door is not locked down.

See Appendix A for detailed dimensional data of the Workstation. Allow adequate clearance around
the Workstation for proper ventilation as shown below:

 a. Unpack Components and Prepare to Install
The unit is shipped in two containers. The power supply assembly is shipped in a cardboard box
and the enclosure is shipped on a pallet. Remove all small parts and set aside the ship kit and
cable harnesses for later installation.

b. Position the Enclosure

When positioning the enclosure, keep in mind that installing the laser isolator will require some
clearance between the workstation rear and a hypothetical wall in excess of the minimum
clearance specified above (typically need an additional 12.0” or more working room). If
insufficient clearance is available, the entire workbench will need to be pulled from the wall
slightly to allow for system installation then placed in its final location after the isolator
installation is complete.
i. Ensure the workbench meets the space requirements listed above. The fiber optic cable
bend radius must be maintained so it is important not to push the unit back against a wall
and cause the fiber to be damaged. Fiber optic cable damage is not covered by warranty.
ii. Uncrate the workstation enclosure and remove brackets holding it to the shipping pallet.
iii. Insert forklift forks from the front of the enclosure in the cavity which will be occupied
by the laser power supply. Make sure to pad the forks to prevent damaging the paint on
the Workstation. The side panels of the workstation base can be removed using the thumb
screws to provide better visibility during movement and installation.
iv. Lift the enclosure out of the crate and place in desired position on the workbench, then
remove the forklift.

c. Position the Power Supply

i. Open the power supply and accessory crate.
ii. Confirm that the cables in the enclosure base will not obstruct the power supply when
installed in the enclosure base cavity.
iii. Lift the laser power supply chassis out of the box taking care to handle the head and fiber
optic cable to prevent the cable from being damaged. Observe correct bend radius limits
on the fiber optic cable. Two people are needed to lift the LM-F power supply chassis.
The best grip points are from the side. Do not lift from the front panel!!
iv. Slide the laser power supply, front panel first, in from the back of the WL-300A enclosure
into the power supply cavity. Take care not to allow the power supply to rub the internal
sides of the enclosure.
v. Align the front of the laser power supply with the front panel of the enclosure for best
appearance.
vi. If necessary use a wrench on the leveling feet of the workstation to level the work surface.
When shipped the workstation is adjusted to be level when placed on a level table.

2) Positioning the WL-300A Enclosure with Floor Stand (Skip to next step if using on benchtop)
WL-300A Models: 8-792-xxx-xxx-Dxx

If your WL-300A enclosure came equipped with a stand the laser power supply ships separately and
will need to be installed and fastened to the stand. In addition, the laser optic must be inserted in the
laser head.

a. Unpack Components and Prepare to

Install
Remove the front of the main workstation
crate and remove brackets from the sides
holding the workstation to the crate. All
brackets are fastened by screws from the
outside of the crate.

b. Remove the workstation from the crate

using a forklift.
Place the forks under the unit between the
wheels ensuring that the forks support the
unit all the way across. Be aware the
weight is biased towards the rear of the
unit. Use caution when moving the
enclosure as the lid is not locked down.

 The unit is shipped with the leveling feet extended for stability in the crate. While suspended on
the forklift raise the leveling feet so that the unit can be rolled when placed on the ground.

Retract leveling feet

c. Roll the workstation to the desired working location using the casters built into the base to
roll it into position.
i. Lower the leveling feet to lift the casters off the ground.
ii. Level the unit.

d. Position the Power Supply

i. Open the power supply and accessory crate.

ii. Confirm that the cables in the enclosure base will not obstruct the power supply when
installed in the enclosure base cavity.

optic cable to prevent the cable from being damaged. Observe correct bend radius limits
on fiber optic cable. Two people are needed to lift the LM-F power supply chassis. The
best grip points are from the side. Do not lift from the front panel!!
iv. Slide the laser power supply, front panel first, in from the back of the WL-300A enclosure
into the power supply cavity. Take care not to allow the power supply to rub the internal
sides of the enclosure. The front panel of the laser power supply should be flush with the
front panel of the enclosure as shown below.

Flush

3) Connect Door Counterweight System

a. Lift the door and prop open using an

object of appropriate size.
The object should be approximately
200-400mm (7.8-16 in.) in length as the
maximum door opening distance is
416mm (16.4 in.). The door weighs
25lb without the counterweights
attached so the object used should be
strong enough to support that amount of
weight.

There are two boxes located in every

Workstation ship kit that include the
Operation Manual, QA Test Report,
Dongle, etc. These boxes are the perfect
size to securely prop the door open.

WL-300A WORK STATION

3-6 990-940
 b. Free counterweights from shipping restraints
Remove the threaded standoff fasteners restraining the counterweights by unscrewing from the
threaded studs on the rear of the unit. When the restraints are removed the stud should look like
the picture below.

c. Reattach Weights on Pulley System

The counterweight system is attached to the cover using a special bracket equipped with keyhole
fasteners. Be careful not to drop counterweight or door during the attachment process.
i. Remove bubble wrap from pulley brackets.
ii. Carefully pull the belt bracket down from the top of the workstation, lifting the
counterweight. Be careful as the counterweight is heavy. Do not pull laterally as the belt
can come off the pulley track.
iii. Line up the keyholes in the bracket
with the studs on the door, and
engage the studs. Use the keyholes
with the small profile at the top so
that the weight of the door locks
the bracket into place.

 iv. From the outside of the unit install
the retaining screw.

v. Perform the same operation on the opposite side.

vi. Once both counterweights are attached the door prop can be removed and the door will
be balanced.
vii. Test the door by manually opening and closing several times. There should be some
resistance provided by the motors but the belt should ride correctly on the pulleys, the
counterweights should rise and fall smoothly with the door action and the door should
remain in position whenever it is released.
viii. Install the belt guards as shown below. Once placed into position use the hardware shown
to fasten the belt guards. Be careful to ensure that no binding or interference with the
belts occurs. The belts should ride cleanly in the belt guard slot and not come in contact
with the belt guards.

4) Install the Fiber Laser Isolator

NOTE: There are two designs of isolators – cylindrical, and square. Cylindrical isolators are
installed through the back of the system fiber pass-through and secured with a clamp at the laser
head. The pass-through is then clamped to the isolator. The square isolators are permanently
attached to the pass-through and the isolator assembly is installed as a unit and clamped into the
laser head.

a. Remove shipping screws holding fiber feed through in place.

5) Connect all cables between power supply and enclosure.
Most plugs have a unique size. Marker Motion connections can be connected to any of the MTR
ports on the back of the laser power supply. Ensure that cables with screws are tightened down.

Some workstation cables are located inside

the base assembly in the compartment
directly behind the four control buttons on
the right side of the unit. To access these
cables remove the 6 thumbscrews on the
right hand side service panel to access these
cables and feed the ends of the cables
through the gap between the rear of the
workstation and the power supply. These
can then be attached to the laser power
supply. Workstation cables from the side
compartment are shown on the right before
Power Supply attachment.

Connect all cables as shown below:

Note: Depending on the ordering options, not all cables will be present.

CAUTION
Be sure to securely fasten all D-Sub connectors using a screwdriver before
powering up the unit. Failure to do so can damage the unit.

9) Install Ergo Arm / PC if included
An ergo arm with PC and monitor is provided with versions equipped with free-standing base. The
ergo arm must be installed on the system and wiring routed to prevent damage to the wires. The
minimum connections required are power to PC and monitor and Ethernet between the PC and fiber
laser.

Sample cable routing is shown below. Optimize the cable routing based on the preferred final position
of the ergo arm. Cables should be routed into the ergo arm cable retainer channel and into the machine
base where the power cables can be connected to a customer supplied power strip.

The ergo arm can be mounted on the left side of the unit if desired.

10) Check all connections

11) Check panels on rear and fume exhaust for light tightness
The system is tested for light tightness before shipping to ensure Class 1 compliance. If any panels
were removed to mount accessories, install fume extraction, or for other purposes they must be
replaced and light tightness must be confirmed before using the system. Under federal law it is the
responsibility of the person making modifications to a laser product to ensure that the system is still
compliant with laser safety regulations before use. Contact Amada Weld Tech or your Laser Safety
Officer and review your organization’s laser safety policies if there are any questions.

12) Power Up the System

Power up the system, install WinLase by following instructions in the fiber laser operator’s manual,
insert the Winlase USB dongle from the ship kit into the PC, and connect to the fiber laser in WinLase.

When the system is powered up, no emergency stop exists, the key switch is on, and the laser
controller is ready the door button will flash indicating ready to home the door. Press the door button
once to start a home routine and the light will go out while the system is homing. Wait 10-15 seconds
for the routine to finish and the light to turn back on before attempting to command the door. If the
door is already open it may look like nothing is happening during the home routine. Pressing the door
button again before the home routine is completed will abort the home routine. Once the home is
completed the door light will turn on indicating that the door can be closed.

Common errors: An Emergency Stop error is the most common issue. Verify:
a) The laser isolator is fully installed in the laser head. This is the single most common cause of
this issue.
b) The red emergency stop button is released. Rotate ¼ turn clockwise if the button is depressed
c) The 15 pin scanner cable is disconnected between the workstation and laser power supply
d) The Emergency Stop jumper is installed on the back of the power supply or user emergency stop
wiring is installed correctly according to the fiber laser marker user’s manual.

Refer to 990-559 LM-F Fiber Laser Marker manual for troubleshooting information on this and
other potential issues.

 Section IV. Operating Instructions
Operating instructions for the Fiber Laser Marker can be found in the LM-F Fiber Laser Marker Operator’s
Manual 990-559. Specific instructions and explanation of WinLase LAN features can be found in the
WinLase LAN User’s Guide included on the memory stick that was shipped with your unit. Manuals can be
found in the marker\documentation folder on the memory stick.

Specific operating instructions for the Marker Motion system of the fiber laser marker can be found in the
990-559 – LM-F Fiber Laser Marker Operator Manual, Chapter 6.

Using the Door

Made of lightweight aluminum the door is counterweighted to allow for easy opening and closing during
production. The door shape allows for 270 degree access to the part and a large viewing window.

Large ball bearing roller slides guide the door and counterweights for easy and reliable operation. The door
is opened and closed using a motorized belt-and-pulley system with a built in friction clutch to ensure safe
operation. The door cycle is controlled by a door control PLC.

The Door Open/Close button will trigger a door open or door close cycle. When powered up the door is
in the “Home Required” state and needs to be homed before use. There are a few possible states for the
door.
a. Normal Operation - Under normal operation the button will be illuminated indicating that the door
can be opened or closed. Pushing the button once will cause the door to alternately move to the open
or closed position. The button will not be illuminated while the door is moving. Pressing the Door
Open/Close button while the door is moving will immediately stop the movement and put the door
into the Door Disabled/Home Required state.
b. Home Required – A flashing Door Open/Close button LED indicates that the door is disabled and
requires a home. The system can only be in this state if the System Enable key switch is on and the
Laser Ready LED on the front panel is illuminated. Pressing the button in this state will cause the
motor to move to the open position and acquire home. When the process is complete the LED will
illuminate steadily indicating Normal Operation. When in the Home Required state the stepper
motors will not be energized and it is possible to easily move the door manually if required.
c. Door Disabled – The door is disabled if the Emergency Stop is active, System Enable key switch is
off, or Laser Ready LED is not illuminated. It can take some time when the system is first turned on
for the system to boot to the Laser Ready state and allow the door to move to Home Required. The
Door LED is off in this state indicating that the user can’t interact with the door.
d. Door Moving – While the door is moving the Door LED is off. Pressing the Door Open/Close button
while the door is moving will immediately stop the movement and put the door into the Door
Disabled/Home Required state.

WL-300A WORK STATION

990-940 4-1
The door is counterweighted for balance and movement is accomplished by stepper motors acting through
friction clutch mechanisms for safety. If at any point the door is stopped in the middle of travel by
overpowering the clutches it will need to be reset. This can be done by commanding a door open or close
movement which will safely move the door to the appropriate end stop and reset the clutch position.
Moving the door manually using the handle to one position or the other is also acceptable. Normal
operation can then be resumed. The system door range of travel can be adjusted programmatically. Contact
Amada Weld Tech for details.

Fixturing
The tooling baseplate is drilled for M6 (1.0mm pitch) screws on a 25mm square pattern to a depth of 12mm.
Accessories and tooling can be mounted to the plate as necessary. Accessories must not interfere with door
operation. The weight limit on tooling for systems not equipped with the 6x6” XY table is 100lb. The
weight limit for systems equipped with the stage is 50lb.

Finding Focus
Laser processing requires that the part is located at the laser focal point. The head must be moved up and
down to locate the part at the laser focus.
There are two popular methods of setting the focus. Method 1 is recommended.
1) Use the specified working distance for the chosen lens to move the head to the focal point. This can be
determined by measuring from the part to the lowest point on the lens housing. Use the Z-Axis to move
the head up and down until the correct measurement is reached. Specified working distances for each
lens can be found in Appendix A of this manual and the Fiber Laser Marker Operator’s Manual 990-
559. A “focus stick” made out of a piece of material cut to the working distance length is a common
aid when frequently changing parts.

2) Find the focus experimentally using the Z-axis and the laser. Place a piece of metal on the tooling plate.
Set the laser to a setting that will mark. 25kHz, 100mm/s, 95% power is a good starting point but
specific settings will vary based on the laser. Add a filled rectangle to provide a consistent mark and
have the system mark on repeat. Using the Z-axis vary the focal distance until the correct focus is
found. The correct focus is found when the mark is brightest, sounds the loudest, and makes the smallest
spot. Lowering the frequency range for –HP models to the audible range helps make the sound of the
mark more distinct and easier to lock in on the focus. This method is useful when questions about mark
process arise and the process engineer wants to prove that the specified focus is correct.

Note: The total allowable Z-stage travel is adjusted during manufacture depending on the lens
originally equipped with the unit. If the lens is changed it may be necessary to adjust the Z-stage
limit to permit the required travel. Each lens has a unique focal distance. By limiting Z-stage
travel to the range of distances over which it is possible to focus the lens the possibility of a z-axis
crash with tooling is greatly diminished. See Appendix A for details on the Z-stage travel for each
configuration.

Task Lighting
The system is equipped with fixed LED lights wired to the laser 24V supply and controlled by the Lighting
Mode button. Refer to the System Controls section for details.

Fume Extraction
The fume extraction kit provides a flexible length of tubing, two tubing end pieces, and fume extractor
nozzle. These items can be configured to safely remove airborne particulate matter generated by the laser
process. Specific fume extraction configuration is determined by the end application. Depending on how
the parts are tooled, arranged, and under what circumstances the marking occurs the fume extraction at the
point of use will need to be customized. Customization can include shortening the flexible tube, choosing a
different end piece, or supplying a complete custom tube and nozzle for the inside of the workstation tailored
to a specific application.

A good starting point is to set up your fume extraction nozzle as shown in the image below. The hose should
be shortened to keep the fume exhaust nozzle out of the laser field area if necessary. If used with the 6” XY
table option the fume extraction hose should be mounted to the table as required by the application.

System Controls

Cycle Start
The Cycle Start button is used to begin a process cycle. If all conditions required to run a cycle are
ready (door homed, laser enabled, job configured to look for a cycle start input, job loaded and ready,
no faults present) the Cycle Start button will be illuminated. When illuminated, pressing the button
begins a process cycle. The door will close if it is not already closed, the laser job will execute, and
the door will open after completion. If the laser job has been configured to run multiple times with a
LOW → HIGH hardware trigger the light will re-illuminate and the process can be started again. If
the Cycle Start button is not illuminated one of the necessary conditions is missing and pressing the
button will have no effect.

WL-300A WORK STATION

990-940 4-3
 To run continuously with each process triggered by a press of the Cycle Start button as described
above it is necessary to turn off Interlock #1 software fault monitoring in the Winlase Settings window
and set the laser job to run continuously with a LOW → HIGH hardware trigger. Running with
Interlock #1 software monitor off does not bypass the hardware interlocks or compromise safety since
the hardware laser interlocks remain functional. Turning this monitor off prevents Winlase from
requiring the user to interact with the PC each time the door opens between jobs. This setting also
prevents Winlase from recognizing that the door has been opened during a running laser job. If an
Interlock fault occurs by manually forcing open the door during a job it is necessary to manually stop
the Winlase job or wait until the job stops running before using the Cycle Start key to reset the system.
Otherwise the hardware interlock system will detect Winlase trying to run a job with the door open
condition and return to the Interlock Fault state.

Emergency Stop Switch

The Emergency Stop switch immediately renders the system safe. Upon pressing the Emergency
Stop switch the laser output is terminated, the laser safety shutter closes, the internal power supplies
are de-energized, motion stops if equipped, the door stops and drive is disabled, and the system enters
a fault state. To reset, clear the Emergency Stop condition and send a system reset by cycling the key
switch OFF → ON or sending a “System Reset” I/O signal to the appropriate input on the back of the
machine. The Emergency Stop switch is a latching type and must be rotated to release.

If an Emergency Stop condition can’t be cleared there are diagnostic instructions located in the LM-
F Fiber Laser Marker Operator Manual 990-559. Common causes include missing or loose head I/O
cables inside or external to the workstation, the laser isolator not being completely installed in the scan
head, or the Emergency Stop button being latched in the pushed condition.

System Enable Key Switch

The System Enable Key Switch is the primary access control device. If the key switch is off then the
laser can’t be activated. The System Enable key switch must be turned ON for the system to reach
the Ready state. Cycling the System Enable switch will reset the system. Use the key switch to
control access to the unit by only providing the key to qualified operators. When the key switch is
off the door motors are disabled and the door can only be moved by hand using the handle.
The System Enable Key Switch is used to clear any faults that occur.

Power
The power switch turns the system on and off. Line voltage is present inside the unit with the power
switch off so it is necessary to unplug before servicing the power supply.

Door Open/Close
The Door Open/Close button will trigger a door open or door close cycle. There are a few possible
states for the door. Please review the Section IV: Operating Instructions for more details.

WL-300A WORK STATION

4-4 990-940
 Guide Beam
The Guide Beam button is a toggle switch that turns the visible red laser guide beam on and off. This
is an override and will force the guide beam on. When the guide beam is on the infrared laser will
be disabled for safety. The Guide Beam button will be illuminated when the Guide Beam override
is on. Because the guide beam is a Class 3R laser it is only visible when the system door interlock
has been satisfied.

Lighting Mode
The Lighting Mode button controls the intensity of the unit’s internal LED lighting. The momentary
button will cycle the unit lights between OFF, 50% intensity, 75% intensity, and 100% intensity as
measured by duty cycle. The Lighting Mode LED will be on when the lights are on. When the unit
is first turned on it defaults to 100% intensity.

Axis Jog Control Interface Rotary Knob

The Axis Jog control controls the height of the laser marker head. The rotary knob is the encoder type
and has a push button feature that is used to select mode of operation. See the next sections,
Controlling Motion using the Axis Jog Control Interface and Controlling the Z-Axis for Manual Z-
Jog Configurations for details. There are two different modes of operation depending on what
hardware is equipped.

Knob

Configurations which include marker motion controlled stages come equipped with the Axis Jog Control
Interface. In these configurations the user can interact with a series of menus on the system front LCD
display to jog an individual axis and configure and run autofocus routines if equipped with an appropriate
laser distance sensor. Controlling the Axis Jog Control Interface is done using the rotary control knob on
the front panel of the workstation.

The Axis Jog Control Interface can be used on a homed, enabled system to individually program and
execute movements. If the system is in a fault state (system fault, emergency stop, key switch off, etc.)
the problem must be resolved before the axes will move.

The Axis Jog Control Interface works with and supplements the Winlase software motion control system.
The Axis Jog Control Interface issues movement commands to the laser controller and results in stage
movement. The Axis Jog Control Interface is connected to the laser controller API COM2 port internally
and units equipped with the Axis Jog Control Interface are unable to use the external COM2 port for any
purpose.

Each stage is equipped with end of travel limit switches which will stop movement at the end of stage
travel. The XY and Rotary axes have home flags used to provide a stable zero position for reference
within Winlase motion objects. The Z-axis uses the upper end of travel limit switch for this purpose.

 Setting Up the Axis Jog Control Interface
When shipped from Amada Weld Tech, your laser system motion hardware is preconfigured and no
motion configuration beyond installing and setting up Winlase on your own PC is required. Motion
configuration files for each standard motion configuration are provided. If your system settings are
lost follow these steps to configure the motion control system settings and Axis Jog Control Interface.

1) Set up Winlase to control the installed axes and verify that they are moving correctly when
commanded by Winlase. See Section V of Chapter 6: Motion Control in the 990-559 - LM-F
Fiber Laser Marker Manual for information on configuring and using the built-in motion
controller.

Use the following provided motion software configurations included in the Winlase installation
package to save time. Some minor adjustments to parameters may be necessary to fine-tune
behavior to process requirements and user preferences.

 3) Confirm that the Axis Jog Control Interface can communicate with the laser. There are a few
possible messages:
a. HOME – the Axis Jog Control interface is connected and correctly configured. The axes
must be homed before the Axis Jog Control interface can control them. Home the axes using
Winlase Motion Manager or by running a job.
b. SYNC – the Axis Jog Control interface cannot communicate with the laser remote API.
Check baud rate and API settings in Winlase as described above in step 2.
c. Exx - xx is a number indicating a laser remote API error code. Usually this occurs when
there is some fault in the motion system. Typical causes can be incorrect motion
configuration driver selected for the physical hardware, motors unplugged, some sort of
system fault, etc. Refer to the Remote API section of this manual for a list of error codes.

Using the Axis Jog Control Interface

(8-792-xxx-xxx-xAx, 8-792-xxx-xxx-xCx)

The bottom center of the LCD display shows messages from the Axis Jog Control Interface. During
normal operation a number is displayed indicating the absolute position of the currently selected axis. The
axis can be selected from within the Axis Jog Control Interface menu system.

If the Axis Jog Control interface says “HOME” it indicates that a home operation is required and
motion can’t be executed from the front panel. Home the system using Winlase or run a job
containing motion to initialize the axes and complete the home routine. Refer to the Motion Control

The LCD display will read “SLOW”, “FAST”, or “LOCK”. When the LCD display reads
“SLOW” or “FAST”, the System Enable key switch is on, and no faults are present the Z-Axis
Jog knob will cause the stage to move. Each “click” of the rotary knob will move the stage a
fixed distance. Continuously moving the rotary knob will cause the stage to move at the
preprogrammed maximum velocity for a given speed. This maximum speed is not adjustable. If
the rotary knob movement stops axis movement will stop as well. System faults will prevent
stage movement.

Cleaning Lens Cover Glass

Each f-theta lens is equipped with an optically-coated protective glass. When marking materials over a
period of time, many of the airborne particles produced during the marking process can dirty or fog the
protective glass. It is important to keep the protective glass clean. If the protective glass is dirty and
continually used, the contaminants may permanently damage the glass surface. When cleaning the
surface, use only lens cleaning paper. A scratched glass surface will cause undesirable marking results.

CAUTION
To prevent dust contamination, always wear powder free latex gloves before
performing any steps involving optics. Perform the following steps in a location free
of dust or other airborne contaminants.

Required Items:
• Lens Cleaning Paper
• Acetone or Lens Cleaning Solution
• Air Blower
• Powder-free Vinyl Gloves or Finger Cots

1. Turn the System power OFF.

2. Turn the cover glass retainer CCW
(counter-clockwise) to separate it from
the f-theta lens. Take care not to drop it.
Caution: The cover glass itself may not
be physically connected to the cover

Changing the Air Filters

The air filters on the Marker are a two stage design. They need to be cleaned regularly to reduce the risk
of overheating caused by restricted airflow into the device. Please change the filters every 1-6 months
depending on the operating environment.

To change, locate the thumb screws that secure the air filter grill in place and remove. Remove the old
filters and install the new ones as shown in the picture below. The blue/white filter is installed first with
the blue side facing out, then the black filter goes in second on the outside (as shown below).

Lubricating Door Slides
The door slides ship correctly lubricated and should remain functional with factory lubrication for a long
time. The door slides have been tested in excess of 1 Million cycles with only factory lubrication. As part
of continuing maintenance they must stay lubricated for proper operation. The ball bearing carriages in the
slides are recirculating ball types and do not require individual lubrication beyond lubricating the slides. It
is important that the correct amount of grease of the correct type is used. Using too much grease in the slides
will trap contaminants and lead to excessive wear as well as create a mess. Using too little grease will also
lead to excessive wear. The correct amount of grease is a light film applied to the bearing contact area of
each of the four tracks in the unit – two for the door and two for the counterweights at the back of the work
area. If “globs” or other large amounts of grease are present remove them with a paper towel. Grease
dripping down the track is a sign of excessive lubrication and should be cleaned and reapplied.
Lubrication should occur every 3-6 months or sooner when symptoms of friction occur. Typical
symptoms of friction include abnormal behavior like noise from the slides or difficulty opening the door.
Always wipe off old grease from the tracks before reapplying. Amada Weld Tech recommends
Magnalube G PTFE grease for this purpose.

The slides and ball bearing carriages are wear items and will eventually need to be replaced. When
lubrication fails to restore proper door movement it may be time to replace. Before replacing these
components the system should be evaluated to see if there is some other cause like a trapped wire,
misalignment, obstruction, clutch adjustment, pulley system issue, etc.

Lubricating the Z-Axis Stage

The Z-axis stage must also be lubricated. Apply 3-4 drops of oil to the end of the carriage at the way surfaces
and on the lead screw threads. Do not over lubricate.
Before lubricating wipe off old lubricant as much as possible so that it can be replaced by clean lubricant.

Lubrication should occur every 6-9 months, when the lead screw and ways appear dry of lubricant, or when
symptoms of excessive friction occur. Possible symptoms include excessive noise during stage movement,
stalls during motion commands, etc.

Amada Weld Tech recommends Velmex BL-1 oil for this purpose.

Maintaining Pulley and Belt System

The counterweight pulley bearings do not require maintenance. If a pulley wears and has excessive friction
replace it with an identical part.
The door pulley belts are wear resistant reinforced toothed type and are resistant to wear, stretching, and
fraying. Monitor the pulley belts for damage and if any wear or damage is noted replace immediately.

Inspecting Bellows for Damage

Inspect the rear bellows on the laser workstation regularly for damage. Do not use if damage has occurred
as damage to the bellows will jeopardize the Class 1 laser safety rating.

Adjusting the Door
The door is fully counterweighted and operated by two stepper motors driving a toothed pulley/belt system.
Each motor is equipped with a friction clutch system to prevent dangerous force from being applied in the
event door travel is obstructed. The door clutch system has been tested in excess of 750,000 cycles to ensure
reliable safe operation. Proper adjustment of the door clutches is necessary to ensure proper operation. The
clutches must be set tightly enough so that the door fully opens and closes without slipping but loosely
enough to prevent unnecessary force on closing applied to objects stuck between the door and the system.
The system is programmed to reduce door velocity as it approaches the closed position to further reduce
force applied at the bottom of travel. There is a pinch point at each back corner of the door marked by a
warning label.

Troubleshooting the Door

Symptom: Door won’t fully open or close.
Cause: Clutches set too loose and are slipping during normal operation, causing lost counts.
Solution: Make even minor clockwise adjustments of clutch adjusting rings.

Symptom: Door closes hard or makes “clicking” noises when manually operated against force of motors.
Cause: Clutches set too tight.
Solution: Make even minor counterclockwise adjustments of clutch adjusting rings.

Symptom: Door opens or closes unevenly.

Cause: Clutches set unevenly.
Solution: Check door for obstructions or damage to belt system. Check for excess friction in the slide
system. Follow clutch baseline reset procedure.
