2.1 Influence on Environment and Energy

a) Optical maser of laser cutting machine is fiber laser generator which will give rise to waste gas at
the time of cutting. Some waste gas is harmful, so it's necessary to discharge such waste gas from
dust collector into atmosphere after purification at the moment of cutting special materials.
b) Optical maser of the laser cutting machine falls into Type 4 laser product and light beam from it
or its light beam after reflection and diffuse reflection may damage human body which shall be
prevented by personnel on the spot who also shall prevent occurrence of fire.

2.2 Laser Safety Notice

The laser will injure human body, especially the eyes and skin. Any part of human body will be
burnt in case of laser radiation. It's necessary to avoid placing any part of human body in the flight
path of laser equipment to avoid damage resulting from misoperation.
2.2.1 Eye and skin protection
In the process of laser processing, CO2, YAG, FIBER and optical maser are generally used.
Different kinds of lasers will incur different damages to human body. YAG laser may damage retina
of eyes. Because YAG laser wavelength is with high transmissivity to eyes, it has bigger hazard.
Major Hazard of CO2 laser involves burn to cornea. Major Hazard of high-power FIBER optical
maser involves burn to skin. Exposure of above-mentioned three lasers likely results in cataract and
burn to skin. Therefore, at the time of laser adjustment, it's necessary to take corresponding
measures as per laser category.
2.2.2 Fire Protection
Oxygen is often used at the moment of laser cutting processing, spark splashes at the time of cutting
and oxygen is easy to result in fire. Therefore, no flammable or combustible articles could be put in
the workspace; simultaneously relevant containment facilities shall be provided.

3.5 Nozzle Function as well as Laser Adjustment Method At the Nozzle

Exit

3.5.1 Function and adjustment of nozzle

a) Nozzle
Nozzle design and jet flow situation directly influence cutting quality; Accuracy of manufacturing
of the nozzle is closely related to cutting quality.
b) Main functions of nozzle include:
▲ The nozzle can avoid such sundries as cutting fused stains bouncing upwards and entering the
cutting head to damage the lens.
▲The nozzle can change the eruption situation of cutting gas as well as control gas diffusion area
and quantity so as to affect cutting quality.
The gas blow-out situation at the moment of installation of nozzle and no installation of nozzle is
shown in the following figure.

17
 Jinan Lingxiu Laser Equipment Co.,Ltd

3.5.2 Step of adjusting nozzle to make a laser pass through nozzle center
Compared to CO2 laser cutting machine, fiber laser cutter has no light path and only needs to adjust
the laser at the nozzle.
1. End face of the nozzle is smeared with a red ink paste used for seals (no red ink paste used for
seals is needed at the time of cellophane tape adopted) and then white adhesive sticker is pasted to
the end face
2. It's necessary to adjust the output power of optical maser (30W ～ 50W) and open mechanical
optical shutter and then quickly turn on and off electronic optical shutter to observe phenomenon
arising. And then it's necessary to close mechanical optical shutters and take down white adhesive
sticker and don't rotate its relative location. In case of big difference between nozzle location and
laser center, no central hole on the adhesive sticker can be made; Because laser center remains
constant, it's necessary to adjust adjusting screw on the cutting head handle to change nozzle center
and make it correspond to laser center. It's necessary to repeat the above action until the hole on the
white adhesive sticker made by the laser coincide with nozzle center and then laser center
coinciding with nozzle center can be confirmed.

3.6 Influence from Nozzle on Cutting Quality and Selection of Nozzle

Bore Diameter

a) Relations between nozzle and cutting quality: When the nozzle center is not concentric with the
center of the laser, the impacts on cutting quality include:
1) Cutting section will be influenced. When cutting gas is ejected, uneven air flow happens which
make cutting section easily suffer the phenomenon of molten stains on one of two sides. The thin
plate below 3mm cutting will be less influenced; the plate above 3mm the cutting will be seriously
18
 Jinan Lingxiu Laser Equipment Co.,Ltd
influenced and sometimes failure in cutting will occur.
2) Affecting angle quality, partial over-melted phenomenon will occur when cutting small
workpiece with sharp angle or small angle, cutting plate; sharp corners may not be achieved when
cutting the thick plate.
3) Piercing will be influenced. Instability and time which is uneasy to be controlled at the time of
punching will cause superfusion when the thick plate is penetrated and the penetration condition is
hard to be grasped which will have less effect on thin plate piercing.
To sum up, the concentricity of nozzle center and the laser is one of the important factors of cutting
quality, especially cutting the thick work piece, its effect is even greater. Therefore, the
concentricity of nozzle center and laser shall be adjusted to achieve better cutting section. Notes:
When the nozzle is out of shape or molten stains is on the nozzle, its influence on cutting quality is
the same with that mentioned above, therefore, the nozzle shall be placed carefully without bruises
to avoid deformation; Molten stains on the nozzle shall be cleared up. Nozzle quality is with
relatively high precision requirements at the time of manufacturing, and the method is required to
be correct at the moment of installation. In case of bad quality of nozzle causing change in various
conditions at the time of cutting, it's necessary to replace the nozzle timely.
b) Selection of nozzle bore diameter
Difference of nozzle bore diameter is shown in the following figure

Nozzle bore diameter Gas flow rate Melt removal capacity

Small Fast Strong
Big Slow Weak

Bore diameters of the nozzle covers φ1.0mm, φ1.4mm, φ2.0mm,φ2.5mm andφ3.0mm. Nozzle

bore diameters-φ1.4mm and φ2.0mm are often used now.

Differences:
1) Thin plate of less than 3mm: In case of adopting ø1.4mm, the cutting plane will be relatively thin;

In case of adopting ø2mm, the cutting plane will be relatively thin and molten stains will easily
occur to corner.
2) Thick plate of more than 3mm: Because of high cutting power, long relative cooling time arises
and relative cutting time increases. In case of adoptingφ1.4mm, due to small gas diffusion area, it's

not too stable at the time of usage and it's basically usable. In case of φ 2mm, due to large gas
diffusion area and slow gas flow rate, it's stable at the moment of cutting.
3) Bore diameter with diameter being φ2.5mm can be only used for cutting thick plate of above
10mm. To sum up, nozzle bore diameter has a serious influence on cutting quality and piercing
quality. At present, nozzles with φ1.4mm, φ2mm aperture is usually used for laser cutting.
"Notes": When nozzle bore diameter is larger, the protection of relative focusing lens will be
worse. Because melt sparks fly at the time of cutting, the proportion of upward flipping will
19
 Jinan Lingxiu Laser Equipment Co.,Ltd
be larger, resulting in lifetime of lens becomes shorter.
Single and double layer selection of nozzle
(1) Single layer nozzle: To be used for tube processing with nitrogen or air.
(2) Double layer nozzle: To be used for tube processing with oxygen

3.7 Adjustment of Light Beam Focus

During the laser cutting, the relative location of beam focus and cutting sheet metal surface has a
large effect on cutting quality, and it is very important to adjust the focus position. In general, trial
cut can be conducted by changing focus, the focal position of corresponding steel plate will arise
when there is no adhering slag on the reverse side, and the joint-cutting is thinnest,
After the change in relative location of cutting head and board, cutting head and sensor null point
shall be changed accordingly, too. Slight adjustment can be completed by adjusting software cutting
height; In case of large adjustment quantity, it's necessary to adjust relative position of sensor and
support to complete adjustment of focal point. At the moment of doing this work, it's necessary to
be careful, or downward bump will easily happen to cutting head, resulting in damage to parts.
3.7.1 Relationship between the focal point position and cutting effect
Name and focal Cutting material and section features

Zero focal length: The The method used for carbon steel and other materials.
focus is on the surface The focus is on the surface of cutting bow and arrow. As for cutting
of cutting workpiece effect, the upper surface is smooth and down surface isn't smooth
Positive focal length: Usage mode of aluminium products and other workpieces.
The focus is inside Comparing with the condition adopting zero focal length, with the
cutting workpiece focus located at the center, the cutting width, flow rate of cutting gas
and the time of punching are greater due to the wide range of smooth
surface.
Negative focal length: Method used at the time of cutting corrosion resistant plate.
The focus is beneath When the stainless steel is cut, the high-pressure nitrogen is used to
cutting workpiece blow away molten slag and protect a cross section in the cutting
process. Cut width will be broadened along with the increase in
workpiece plate thickness.

3.9 Selection of Cutting Speed

At the time of laser cutting, the cutting speed is selected in accordance with texture and thickness of
plate to be cut. Difference in cutting speeds will have a great effect on laser cutting quality. A proper
cutting speed can improve the efficiency of laser cutting as well as realize good cutting quality.
Now we discuss the effects of different cutting speeds on cutting quality:

22
 Jinan Lingxiu Laser Equipment Co.,Ltd
a) Effects of too fast laser cutting speed on the cutting quality:
1) May give rise to cutting failure and have sparks all around.
2) Some areas can be cut off while others cannot.
3) The whole cutting fracture surface may be end up too rough but without molten stains being
produced.
4) The cutting feed speed is too fast, as a result, the plate fail to be timely cut off, slanted bar pattern
arises on the cutting surface and molten stains happen to half bottom. As shown in the figure below:

b) Effects of too slow laser cutting speed on the cutting quality:

1) The sheet metal may become over-melted and cutting fracture surface may become rougher.
2) The cut joint may become wider correspondingly. And the small circular bead or sharp corner
area may melt down thus we cannot get desired cutting result.
3) Low cutting efficiency influences production capacity.
4) Choice of the proper cutting speed: Feed speed can be judged as per cutting sparks: In general,
cutting sparks are diffused from top to bottom. When sparks incline, it means the feed speed is too
fast; In case the sparks are not diffused, but gathered together, it indicates that the feeding speed is
too low. Appropriate cutting speed arises and smooth line appears on the cutting plane with no
molten stains occurring to half bottom. As shown in the figure below:

3.9 Explanation Regarding Selection of Laser Cutting Gas and

Pressure

At the time of laser cutting, select different cutting gases on the basis of difference in plates to be
23
 Jinan Lingxiu Laser Equipment Co.,Ltd
cut. The selection of cutting gas and its pressure has a great effect on laser cutting quality. The
functions of cutting gas mainly include: combustion-supporting, heat dissipation, blowing off the
molten stains generated during cutting, preventing the residue popping upwards to entering the
nozzle and protecting focusing lens.
a) Influence of cutting gas and pressure on cutting quality:
1) Cutting gas helps heat dissipating, burning and blowing off molten stains, thus obtaining cutting
fracture surface with better quality.
2) In case of insufficient pressure of cutting gas, the following influences on cutting quality will
arise: Molten stains arise at the time of cutting, the cutting speed fails to be satisfied and production
efficiency is influenced.
3) When the pressure of cutting gas is too high, cutting quality will be influenced; The cutting plane
is coarse and the joint-cutting is relatively wide; Meanwhile, partial melting occurs to cross section
of cutting and no good cross section of cutting is formed.
b) Influence of cutting gas pressure on perforation.
1) When the gas pressure is too low, the laser cannot easily cut through cutting board, thus punching
time shall increase, which leads to low production rate.
2) When gas pressure is too high, the breakthrough point can be melt down with popping occurred.
Thus lager melting point is formed, which influences the cutting quality.
3) During laser punching, generally higher gas pressure is adopted for thin plate punching and lower
gas pressure is adopted for thick plate punching.
4) In the case of cutting ordinary carbon steel with laser cutting machine, the thicker the material is,
the lower the cutting gas pressure will be. At the time of cutting stainless steel, the pressure of
cutting gas is always under the state of high pressure although cutting gas pressure fails to change
along with the material thickness.
In short, the choice of cutting gas and pressure when laser cutting is carried out shall be adjusted
according to the actual situation when cutting is carried out. Different cutting parameters shall be
chosen in a specific situation. Two gas pipelines shall be reserved for our equipment before leaving
the factory, of which the oxygen and air share the same pipeline and nitrogen uses one
high-pressure pipe, separately. Two gas pipelines shall be connected with pressure relief valve as
shown in the following figure:
Explanation on pressure relief valve: The table on the left shows the current pressure and the table
on the right shows remaining gas volume.
"Warning"-Supply pressure of nitrogen is forbidden to exceed 20kg;
Supply pressure of nitrogen is forbidden to exceed 10Kg, or it's easy to cause burst of air pipe.

3.10 Explanation on the Influence of Laser Cutting Power on Cutting

Quality

At the time of laser cutting, the selected laser power has a certain influence on cutting quality.
Cutting power shall be confirmed pursuant to the texture and thickness of the plate to be cut. Too
big or small power will result in failure in getting good cutting section.
a) At the time of laser cutting, too small laser power will lead to failure in cutting.
b) When the laser power set is too large, the whole cutting surface may melt and the cutting joint
will be too large and good cutting quality will not be realized.
24
 Jinan Lingxiu Laser Equipment Co.,Ltd
c) If set laser power is insufficiency, cutting molten stains will arise and tumor scar will happen to
cutting section.
As a result, in case of setting appropriate laser power, good cutting quality without molten stains
will arise based on appropriate cutting gas and pressure.

calibration is also called as correction of follow-up height which is as follows:
The cutting head shall be moved downward to the place about 5mm away from layout;

28
 Jinan Lingxiu Laser Equipment Co.,Ltd
Selecting calibration on height adjustment device (BCS100) → calibration of floating head →
confirmation;
At the moment, lower probing happens to cutting head twice, layout position shall be checked and
the whole process lasts for about 10S;
After calibration, the obvious calibration curve on the height adjustment device arises and normal
curve is smooth. In case of bad calibration result, cutting effect will be influenced and it's necessary
to carry out calibration anew.
To sum up, there are many factors influencing calibration result which are as follows generally: The
board is unstably placed; Z-axis sliding table shakes; External electrical disturbance is too serious.
Calibration results are divided into being excellent, good, moderate and bad. In case that calibration
result is better than average, it can be normally used; in case that calibration result is bad, it's
necessary to suppress interference and conduct calibration anew.
