2.SAFETY B-70255EN/01
2 SAFETY
This chapter describes precautions to be observed to ensure the safe
operation of the laser oscillator.
Read this chapter thoroughly before attempting to use the laser
oscillator.
Also, read the safety precautions in the operator's manual supplied by
the machine tool builder.
The laser oscillator may present a danger not only to the operator but
also to other people working around the oscillator, up to a
considerable distance away. The laser oscillator must, therefore, be
operated only by a person who has received appropriate training.
Only persons who have understood the internal structure of the laser
oscillator and have received appropriate training can maintain the
laser oscillator.
A warning label is put on each dangerous position of the laser
oscillator. Be extremely careful about the labeled positions.
-6-
B-70255EN/01 2.SAFETY
2.1 WARNING
(1) It is extremely dangerous to expose your eyes to direct, scattered,

or reflected CO2 laser light. Always wear protective glasses
while the laser is operating.
Exposure to laser light can cause blindness. If your eyes are
accidentally exposed, seek medical advice immediately.
(2) Do not turn on the laser oscillator while a panel is removed or a

door is open.
Operating the laser with a door open or panel removed may
result in the operator being directly exposed to CO2 laser
radiation. Exposure to laser light can cause blindness and/or
severe burns. If your eyes are accidentally exposed to laser light,
seek medical advice immediately.
Before turning on the power during maintenance if absolutely
necessary, wear protective glasses and clothing to prevent
accidents.
(3) If the laser oscillator is operated with a panel open, ultraviolet

radiation is emitted from the high-frequency discharge section.
Gazing the discharge section for a long time can cause visual
disturbances such as impaired eyesight.
Always wear protective glasses during work. If you feel trouble
with your eyes, seek medical advice immediately.
(4) Surround the laser machining tool with a fence made of a

material which absorbs laser light well (such as acrylic). Place
appropriate warning notices on the fence.
The door in the safety fence shall be fitted with an interlock
switch such that opening the door stops the laser.
Failure to provide such a fence exposes persons in the vicinity of
the machine tool to the danger of being exposed to CO2 laser
radiation and the associated risk of blindness. If a person is
accidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical advice
immediately.
(5) The laser beam shall be no higher than average eye height.
Enclose the path of the laser beam with covers. Do not leave the
end of the beam path open. Place laser- absorbing material at the
end of the beam path to absorb the beam's energy.
A CO2 laser beam is directional and has a high energy density.
Exposure to laser light can cause blindness. Flammable material
may burn or explode if exposed to the laser beam. If your eyes
are accidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical advice
immediately.
-7-
(6) A high voltage of 3 to 4 kV0-p is applied to some places in the

laser oscillator cabinet. Therefore, do not turn the power to the
oscillator on or operate the oscillator when an oscillator panel is
open. Operating the laser oscillator with a panel open can cause
a touch on a high-voltage place, resulting in electric shock.
necessary, take measures against accidents.
(7) Before daily inspection, the replacement of a maintenance part

or maintenance, open the main circuit breaker and turn the power
supply off (double power-off).
To prevent the power from being inadvertently turned on, lock
the circuit breaker open, and affix an indication of work in
progress.
Failure to turn off the power during inspection or replacement
exposes the operator to the danger of electric shock.
necessary, take measures against accidents.
(8) The oscillator output mirror and focusing lens on the machining
head both have a substrate made of ZnSe (zinc selenide), a toxic
substance. Therefore, do not touch the mirror or lens with your
bare hands.
Inhaling ZnSe dust may cause difficulty in breathing, completely
stopping the breathing of the victim in the worst case.
If you accidentally touch the mirror or lens with your bare hands,
wash your hands well under running water.
If you accidentally inhale ZnSe dust or debris, seek medical
advice immediately.
(9) Do not look at the machining point without eye protection.

Otherwise, your eyes may be exposed to reflected laser light,
resulting in blindness.
If your eyes are accidentally exposed to laser light, seek medical
advice immediately.
(10) Before attempting to machine any material for the first time,
consult with the manufacturer of the material.
Some materials generate toxic gases when cut or drilled by a
laser beam.
Should you accidentally inhale any toxic gas, seek medical
advice immediately.
(11) If the laser oscillator must be moved, entrust the work to the
machine tool builder whenever possible. If performed by
inexperienced personnel, the oscillator may topple or be dropped,
resulting in a potentially fatal accident.
When the machine tool builder is not available to move the
oscillator, follow the procedure described on the hanging method
label. While moving the oscillator, stand well clear and never
pass under the oscillator.
-8-
(12) Do not allow any dangerous or high-pressure gas to get into the
oscillator housing. The oscillator cabinet has a hermetic structure
(dustproof and dripproof), it cannot be ventilated easily.
Flammable gases such as oxygen can cause a fire or explosion.
Toxic gases can harm operators during maintenance. Organic
gases can degrade machining performance. High-pressure gases
can damage a panel or the cabinet, resulting in injury from flying
matters.
If such a gas accidentally gets into the oscillator housing, remove
a panel for ventilation. The installation room must be also well
ventilated.
To purge the oscillator housing, use purified, low-pressure air or
nitrogen.
-9-
2.2 CAUTION
(1) If there is a possibility of being exposed to CO2 laser radiation

exceeding the maximum permissible exposure (MPE) level for
skin, wear protective clothing.
Otherwise, there is a danger of being burnt.
(2) FANUC LASER-MODEL C1000iA is fitted with a red

semiconductor laser to indicate the approximate position of
invisible CO2 laser beam. Do not look directly at the
semiconductor laser beam. Otherwise, your eyes may be injured.
(3) The gas circulating system in the oscillator becomes very hot.
Do not touch the gas pipes, turbo blower, heat exchanger, or
exhaust pump, until they have cooled down sufficiently after the
oscillator has been turned off. Otherwise, you may be burnt.
(4) Do not pass your hand in the optical path of the laser machine or
under the laser head when the shutter of the oscillator is open.
When the shutter is open, a laser beam may be emitted from the
oscillator accidentally. Before work in the optical path or under
the laser head, confirm that the shutter is closed.
(5) The workpiece becomes very hot during machining. Never touch
the workpiece with your bare hands. Otherwise, you may be
burnt.
(6) During machining, extremely hot chips are likely to be

generated.
Unless sufficient caution is exercised, there is a danger of the
operator being burnt, or of a fire being started.
(7) Some materials may burn or explode when laser machined.

Before attempting to machine any material for the first time,
consult with the manufacturer of the material, to prevent the
danger of fire of or the possibility of operator injury.
(8) The oscillator contains cooling fan units. Although the fan units
are fitted with a finger guard, to prevent injury, keep your hands
well away from the fans.
(9) The oscillator is controlled according to the CNC internal

parameter settings. If a numeric value different from a setting is
entered and the oscillator is operated, the oscillator may
malfunction. In the worst case, the oscillator may be damaged.
- 10 -
2.3 NOTE
(1) During installation or maintenance necessitating the opening of

an oscillator door or the removal of a panel, only persons who
have undergone maintenance training should operate the laser. In
such a case, extreme caution must be exercised.
(2) Warning labels are affixed to those parts of the oscillator where
there is a danger of exposure to laser radiation. Observe the
precautions given on the labels. (Section 2.4 shows the warning
labels.)
(3) Laser products shall conform to the regulations laid down in the
laser safety standard, including that stipulating control using a
key.
The oscillator start signal (RUN ON) shall be controlled with a
key switch such that the oscillator cannot be turned on without a
specific key.
Control using a key ensures that other than the authorized
personnel cannot operate the laser oscillator. It is extremely
dangerous if a person who is unfamiliar with the equipment
attempts to operate the laser oscillator.
(4) The shutter shall be unlocked only while a beam is being output.
Otherwise, keep the shutter locked to provide protection should
the laser accidentally be turned on.
(5) Do not discard a used output mirror or focusing lens together

with regular waste. If the output mirror or focusing lens is
replaced, return the original to the supplier or entrust it to a
specialized disposal company.
(6) Do not place any flammable material (such as paper, cloth, or

wood) near the workpiece table.
(7) Keep a fire extinguisher beside the unit.
(8) The FANUC LASER-MODEL C1000iA is equipped with an

alarm lamp. The alarm lamp blinks while discharge is in
progress or whenever laser radiation is possible.
While the alarm lamp is blinking, pay careful attention to laser
radiation and high voltages.

forced gas circulating system, pressure controller, CNC interface, and
a protective housing.
Fig. 3.1 C1000iA internal structure
(1) Laser resonator

The laser resonator consists of several discharge tubes,
connected in series using folding mirrors, with a rear mirror and
output mirror placed at the open ends of the discharge tubes, thus
sealing the tubes. The resonator is fitted with a gas pipe
connecting port through which laser gas is fed into the discharge
tubes.
A discharge from the electrodes of the discharge tube energizes
CO2 molecules, which emit light. This light is amplified by
stimulated emission, repeated between the rear mirror and output
mirror, a laser beam being emitted from the output mirror.
- 18 -
(2) Discharge drive unit

The discharge drive unit consists of a laser power supply,
matching box, and discharge tubes. High-frequency output of 2
MHz that is controlled by the CNC discharges the laser gas
flows through discharge tubes to energize CO2 molecules.
(3) Forced gas circulating system

A gas circulating system is configured by connecting the
resonator and turbo blower with a circulating pipe. Laser gas is
forced through the discharge tubes at a speed of 200 m/s or
higher.
A water-cooled heat exchanger, used to cool the high-
temperature gas from the discharge tubes, is provided at the inlet
side of the turbo blower. At the outlet side of the turbo blower,
another water-cooled heat exchanger dissipates the compression
heat.
(4) Pressure controller

The laser gas pressure within the forced gas circulating system is
controlled by commands issued from the CNC, thus ensuring
stable laser output.
(5) CNC interface

Interface used to connect a FANUC Series 16i-L. CNC
commands that, control the operation of the laser oscillator, such
as start/stop and laser output, are input via this interface.
(6) Protective housing

An enclosure that houses the above components. The housing,
consisting of metal panels, completely encloses the laser
oscillator, thus protecting the operator from exposure to laser
radiation and from high voltages. All panels are screw-fixed and
cannot be removed without an appropriate tool.

3.2 COMPONENT DETAILS
This section describes the internal structure of the C1000iA more

specifically. Fig. 3.2 is an internal structural drawing.
Fig. 3.2 C1000iA structural drawing
(1) Resonator
The resonator consists of an output mirror, rear mirror, folding
mirrors, discharge tubes, power sensor unit, etc. It converts
electrical energy first to laser gas, then to optical energy (10.6-
mm single-wavelength laser beam).
(2) Output mirror

A transmitting/reflecting mirror which outputs the laser beam
after it has been amplified. The output mirror consists of a ZnSe
(zinc selenide) substrate, coated with dielectric. ZnSe is tightly
toxic. Be particularly careful, therefore, when handling the
output mirror.
- 20 -
(3) Rear mirror

A reflecting mirror consisting of a Ge (germanium) substrate,
coated with dielectric.
Having a high reflectance of 99.5%, the rear mirror is used to
reflect the laser beam within the resonator while transmitting
0.5% of the laser light so that the beam can be monitored
externally.
(4) Folding mirror

A mirror unit which reflects the laser beam at a 90-degree angle.
The folding mirror consists of a block with a surface tilting to a
45-degree angle and an Si (silicon) substrate, coated with
multilayer dielectric film.
(5) Discharge tube

A pair of Ag (silver) electrodes are metallized on the surface of a
hollow quartz glass pipe. A high-frequency discharge between
these electrodes injects electrical energy into the laser gas. Each
electrode is coated with ceramic, preventing it from degrading
and thus improving system reliability.
(6) Trigger electrode

A predischarge placed outside the laser oscillation area can
facilitate the start of the main discharge. With it, the laser output
is completely zero when the beam is off.
(7) Power sensor

An optical sensor which detects the intensity of the laser beam,
transmitted through the rear mirror, thus enabling monitoring of
the laser output level.
(8) Gas circulating system

A gas circulating path including a turbo blower, heat exchangers,
and circulating pipes, which circulates laser gas in the discharge
tubes at high speed.
(9) Turbo blower

During laser oscillation, the laser gas pressure is 1330 – 9310 Pa.
The turbo blower circulates this rough-vacuum gas at high speed
without contaminating the gas.
(10) Heat exchanger (inlet)

Water-cooled heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has
been heated by discharge, before it is drawn into the turbo
blower.
(11) Heat exchanger (outlet)

Water-cooled heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has
been heated by compression in the turbo blower, before being
forced into the discharge tubes.
- 21 -
(12) Gas controller

The gas controller always monitors the gas pressure in each
discharge tube and supplies the fresh laser gas to the circulating
system to keep the pressure constant. It also monitors the supply
status of the laser gas, purge check for the circulating system,
and other items and has a function of adjusting the amount of
flow of the gas to be exhausted.
(13) Exhaust pump unit

This unit is used to vacuum-exhaust laser gas from the gas
circulating system such that its pressure falls to that used for
laser oscillation. Also, within this unit, a small amount of
circulating gas is constantly being exchanged, to prevent
degradation of the circulating gas.
(14) Hour meter

The hour meter indicates the total number of hours that the laser
oscillator has operated (how many hours the exhaust pump has
operated), to indicate whether maintenance or inspection is
necessary.
(15) Shutter
The shutter has a rotary arm operated by a rotary solenoid and an
Au (gold)-evaporated reflecting mirror attached to the arm.
It can be opened and closed by CNC commands. It also has a
position sensor and a temperature sensor for safety and always
monitors the open/close status and shutter temperature.
(16) Beam absorber

While the laser oscillator is operating with the shutter closed, the
laser beam is guided into the beam absorber. The beam absorber
absorbs nearly 100% of laser beam and is water-cooled, allowing
it to safely absorb the beam for relatively long periods. For
safety, the beam absorber is equipped with a temperature sensor
which allows the system to monitor the temperature of the beam
absorber.
(17) Distribution unit

This unit distributes cooling water, supplied from either a chiller
unit or a temperature-regulated external water supply, to each
unit in the laser oscillator.
For safety, the water distribution unit is equipped with a flow
sensor which allows the system to monitor the flow rate of the
cooling water.
(18) Laser power supply

A power supply for generating a discharge in each discharge
tube. The laser power supply receives the three-phase AC input
at 200/220V and outputs 2-MHz high-frequency power
controlled with stability by commands from the CNC.
- 22 -
(19) Matching box

The matching box contains a matching circuit, consisting of coils
and capacitors, which ensures that power is effectively input to
the discharge tubes.
(20) Intermediate PCB B

This PCB transmits signals output by the shutter section, such as
those from the limit switch, absorber temperature sensor, power
sensor, and condensation sensor, to the interface PCB.
(21) Input unit

The power magnetics cabinet distributes power, supplied from
an external unit, to each unit in the laser oscillator. It also
protects each unit from overcurrents.
(22) Input unit control PCB

This PCB has functions of transmitting the contactor open/close
signals according to CNC commands and of notifying the CNC
of the open/close status of the circuit breaker in the input unit.
(23) Interface PCB

Transfers signals to and from the CNC via the FANUC I/O Link
(serial interface).
(24) Stabilized power supply

This unit converts the 200/220 VAC power source to DC power
for the interface PCB and other units.
(25) Condensation sensor

The condensation sensor is mounted above the output mirror
holder. If condensation occurs on this sensor, the resistance
changes, an alarm (abnormal water temperature) occurs, and the
oscillator is stopped. It prevents faults in each unit from
occurring due to condensation.
(26) High-frequency inverter

This inverter drives the turbo blower. It is responsible for
acceleration/deceleration control during start and stop of the
blower.
(27) Turbo PCB

This PCB monitors overheating, the oil level, and frequency
reached signal of the turbo blower.
(28) Guide laser (diode laser)

A diode laser is overlaid on the same optical axis as a guide
beam for checking the optical axis because the CO2 laser beam is
invisible to the unaided eye. The guide beam is emitted in
synchronization with the mechanical shutter only when the
shutter is closed. The guide laser can be used for roughly
- 23 -
adjusting the optical path of an external optical system and for

obtaining a guide for the machining point.

(2) Remove resonator and shutter clamps.

The clamps are used only in transit. In particular, loosen the
resonator clamp before it is stored. If the resonator is left for a
long time with the clamp tightened, the resonator is likely to be
deformed. The clamp locations are shown in Fig. 4.1.

(3) Check the outsides of units installed in the oscillator as follows:

Check items
1 Check whether any printed circuit boards are loose or removed.
2 Check whether any cables are damaged (such as damaged sheathing).
3 Check whether any connectors are loose or detached.
4 Check that the discharge tubes are neither cracked nor damaged.
5 Check that the turbo blowers and other units are neither loose nor
missing.
6 Check that the power supply units and matching boxes are neither
loose nor missing.
7 Check that the input unit is neither loose nor missing.
8 Check that the connection to the electrode of each discharge tube is not
loose.
9 Check whether any joint part of the water piping and gas piping is loose.
10 Check all screw terminals in the units.
11 Check the oil level in the turbo blowers, and check for oil contamination.
(See Section 5.3 for details.)
(4) Connect the power and signal lines to the oscillator. (See
Subsection 4.4.3 for details.)
Check items
1 Signal cable between the NC and oscillator (optical fiber), 24V DC
2 Oscillator power cable
3 Grounding cable (class-1)
4 Exhaust pump power cable (See Subsection 4.4.4 for details.)
Connect the power cable of the exhaust pump (to the oscillator
and pump).
(5) Check the communication setting on the interface PCB. (See

Subsection 6.5.5 for details.)
When a metal cable is used : LINK1 (JD1)
When an optical fiber cable is used : LINK1 (COP)
(6) Laser gas and cooling water pipes. (See Subsections 4.4.1 and
4.4.2 for details.)
Check items
1 Laser gas pipe type
Recommended gas pipe
Nylon tube AS1, manufactured by Junko Co. Ltd.
Polyprotube, manufactured by Imperial Co. Ltd.
Stainless bright anneal pipe
2 There must be no gas leakage in the external piping between the gas
cylinder and oscillator.
3 Laser gas composition and purity (Check whether the specifications are
satisfied.)
4 Quality of cooling water (Tap water passed through an ion exchanger is
recommended.)
5 Flow of cooling water (IN, OUT)
6 Connection of the gas feeder piping of the exhaust pump
Connect the gas feeder piping of the exhaust pump (to the
oscillator and pump).
- 28 -
(7) Check the input power supply voltage, frequency and phase
sequence. (See Section 6.5 for details.)
(8) Turn on the power, then check the operation of the fan motors in
the housing.
The fan motors installed in the oscillator start as soon as the
power to the CNC is turned on. Check the operation of each fan
motor. Note, however, that the fan motor installed in the laser
power supply does not start until the oscillator sequence reaches
the turbo blower ON operation.
(9) Check the parameters and setting data.

Check the parameters against the data sheets attached to the
oscillator. If a value other than those given on the data sheets is
set, correct the setting. Note, however, that parameter No. 15270
and parameter No. 15204 are set automatically, so that these
parameters need not be modified.
CAUTION
Each oscillator has unique parameters. Check the
setting data according to the attached data sheets.
Be particularly careful to store these data sheets
safely.
(10) Check that cooling water is supplied normally, and that there is
no water leakage inside the oscillator or at any external
connection points.
(a) Turn off the main circuit breaker of the oscillator and
power supply.
(b) Check that the water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the
oscillator are connected correctly. If the water inlet and
outlet are connected incorrectly, the flow sensor mounted
on the outlet does not function, which prevents water from
flowing.
(c) Fully open the valves on the exhaust side so that the flow of
water is not impeded. By manually operating the chiller unit,
pass cooling water through the system at a flow rate of
about 10 liters/minute. Then, check that there is no water
leakage at the following locations:
1. The water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillator
2. The water piping (including all tubes and joints) in the
oscillator
(d) Provided no water leakage is observed in step 3) above,
allow cooling water to flow through the oscillator at the
specified flow rate. Set the output pressure of the cooling
water circulating unit to 0.5 MPa(5 bar). Then, check that
there is no water leakage at the following locations:
1. The water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT) of the oscillator
2. The water piping (including tubes and joints) in the
oscillator
- 29 -
Model Rated flow rate Pressure loss of the flow path in the
oscillator at rated flow rate
C1000iA 35 liters/minute 0.12 MPa
(e) Stop the chiller unit, then switch the operation mode from
manual (local) mode to automatic (remote) mode.
(f) If there is no water leakage, set the RUN key to ON to start
the oscillator. Check that the cooling water circulating unit
can be operated according to commands issued from the
CNC. If the flow rate is less than the specified value, alarm
No. 4072 (low cooling water flow rate) is issued soon after
the chiller unit is started. If this alarm is issued, proceed as
indicated in the guidance corresponding to this alarm.
(g) Check that the temperature of the cooling water is set to
room temperature plus 1°C. (The temperature of the cooling
water may be set to about 27°C throughout the year.) The
highest temperature that may be set is 30°C.
(11) Conduct an oscillator vacuum leakage test.

(a) Check the oscillator for any internal leakage.
The procedure for performing a leakage check is given in
Item (6) in Section 4.3.
(b) When first starting the oscillator, check that gas is output
from the gas outlet of the oscillator. Depending on the
parameter settings, it may take as long as one minute before
gas is output. If no gas is output, the exhaust pump rotation
may be reversed. Immediately turn off the circuit breaker to
stop the exhaust pump. If this situation is left uncorrected,
the exhaust pump may ultimately start to make an abnormal
sound, and the thermal switch may trip. In the worst case,
the gas circulating system may be contaminated with
exhaust pump oil.
(12) Check that the laser gas pressure is controlled normally.

(a) Set all bits of parameter No. 15025 through parameter No.
15028 to 0 because only the pressure control operation is to
be checked, without causing discharge. Set parameter No.
15240 to the standard value 10, then check the pressure
control status of the laser oscillator. Start the oscillator
(RUN ON), and check the pressure control status under the
following parameters while checking DGN905:
1. Parameter No. 15241 for discharge start state
2. Parameter No. 15242 for base discharge state
If the pressure control status is abnormal, alarm No. 4073 ,
No. 4081, or No. 4078 is issued. Proceed as indicated in the
guidance corresponding to this alarm. Check also that the
laser gas flow rate in the base discharge state satisfies the
specified value.
(b) If the laser gas flow rate is abnormal, perform adjustment as
described in Section 9.4.
- 30 -
(c) Reset the values of the bits of parameter No. 15025 through
parameter No. 15028 to their original values.
This completes the check.
(13) Perform laser oscillation to achieve discharge aging. If the

oscillator is left unused for one week or more, discharge aging is
required. See Section 4.3 for details of discharge aging.
(14) Check the oscillation characteristics and output. See Item (1) in
Section 4.3 for details of the check method.
Check items
1 Oscillation characteristic check :
- Check that the correction coefficient is 1100 or less.
- Check that the discharge voltage is within the
factory-set value plus 200 V.
If the correction coefficient or discharge voltage
exceeds the maximum, repeat discharge aging.
2 Discharge margin check
- Check that a margin is provided.
3 Voltage margin check
- Check that no alarm is issued.
(15) Check the laser beam mode. For details of the check method, see
Item (4) in Section 4.3.
Check items
1 Check that there is no significant difference from the
mode specified in the data sheets attached to the
oscillator.
2 Check that the mode shape is perfectly circular.
3 Check that no interference fringes can be observed
nearby.
(16) Set the hour meter.

Set 50 Hz for those localities where the power supply frequency
is 50 Hz. Set 60 Hz for those localities where the power supply
frequency is 60 Hz. (The frequency is factory-set to 50 Hz.)
(17) Optical axis adjustment

To perform optical axis adjustment as part of the installation,
adjust the base table of the oscillator. Never place a heavy object
on the beam outlet plate. Moreover, never make a direct
mechanical connection between this plate and a part on the
mechanical side.

4.2 PREPARATION PRIOR TO SHIPMENT
For shipment and transportation, follow the steps explained below.
(1) Disconnect all CNC connecting cables.
(2) Disconnect the power cable and ground cable.
(3) Remove the laser gas pipes, and attach blanking plugs to the
pipes to prevent dust from entering.
(4) When shipping the oscillator or exhaust pump only, follow the
steps explained below. If the oscillator and exhaust pump are
mounted on the machine, and so the possibility that the exhaust
pump may tumble does not exist, these steps are unnecessary.
(a) Detach the exhaust pump power line.
(b) Detach the gas piping from the exhaust pump, and plug up
the piping and exhaust pump to prevent foreign matter from
entering the piping and pump.
(c) Before shipping the exhaust pump only, discharge the oil
from the exhaust pump. When installing the exhaust pump,
supply new oil.
(5) Remove all cooling water from the oscillator by using

compressed air. For details of how to remove the cooling water,
see Subsection 4.2.2.
CAUTION
Any residual cooling water may result in corrosion or
clogging; furthermore, if any residual cooling water
freezes, a pipe or the oscillator itself may be
damaged.
(6) Install all clamps and fit a blanking cap onto the beam outlet.
(7) Check the security of all connectors and printed circuit boards.
Install protective covers.
(8) Check that all removed mounting screws are reinstalled.
(9) Install the cabinet mounting panel.

- 33 -
4.2.2 Removing Cooling Water
Remove cooling water according to the procedure below.
(1) Open the cooling water inlet (IN) and outlet (OUT), and leave
both open. Cooling water will stop draining from the unit after
about 10 minutes.
(2) Once the cooling water has stopped draining, connect a

compressed air hose to the cooling water inlet (IN). Check that
the cooling water outlet is open. Gradually supply compressed
air, allowing the pressure to build up to 0.1 to 0.2 MPa. Never
apply full pressure suddenly.
CAUTION
The cooling water system of the C1000iA has a
directional property, so you cannot feed water or air
from the outlet side (OUT).
(3) Continue to supply compressed air at this pressure for about 5

minutes. Increase the compressed air pressure to 0.3 to 0.4 MPa,
and supply air until water inside the white water piping of the
oscillator is completely removed. It takes about 10 minutes to
remove water.
(4) Once all cooling water has been removed, disconnect the
compressed air tube. Then, seal the cooling water inlet (IN) and
outlet (OUT) by attaching the blanking plugs provided with the
oscillator to the PT plugs.
CAUTION
Also, the cooling water should be removed from the
oscillator whenever the oscillator is to be stored over
the winter, when there is a danger of the cooling
water freezing. If the cooling water freezes, it may
destroy the cooling water pipes or other cooling
system components.
- 34 -
4.3 DETAILS OF CHECKING
External gas piping leakage check (clamp test)

(1) Using an approved gas pipe, connect the gas inlet of the
oscillator to the cluster piping, or to the secondary side of the
regulator mounted on the gas cylinder.
CAUTION
As the external gas piping, use a pipe recommended
by FANUC.(See Subsection 4.4.2.)
Using a rubber hose, urethane tube, or brazed
copper pipe lowers the quality of the laser gas
guided to the oscillator, resulting in unstable
discharging.
This can lower the output level or cause a laser
power supply abnormality.
(2) Open the adjustment valve of the regulator in advance. Then,

slowly open the main valve of the gas cylinder. Next, set the
secondary pressure of the regulator to 0.175±0.025 MPa.
(3) Upon the completion of setting, close the main valve of the gas
cylinder.
(a) If the primary pressure of the regulator is abruptly reduced
to 0, gas will leak from the gas piping. Open the main valve
of the gas cylinder and locate the leaks using a liquid
leakage checker. Then, correct the leaks.
(b) If the pressure is reduced gradually, gas will leak from the
gas piping. Recheck the joints. Very occasionally, gas may
leak from the primary pressure side to the secondary
pressure side of the regulator. In such a case, the primary
pressure decreases, while the secondary pressure is
increases.
(c) A primary pressure reduction of within 10% over 8 hours is
normal.
CAUTION
If the amount of gas leakage from the gas piping is
very small, the gas composition will change more
rapidly when the pipe is longer, when the pipe
diameter is larger, or when a smaller amount of gas
is consumed. In such cases, the output will be
reduced, and discharge will tend to turn off more
easily.
- 35 -
(d) Upon the completion of this check, close the main valve of
the gas cylinder.
CAUTION
Periodically check the external gas piping for
leakage.
Parameter check
Laser oscillator parameter data sheets are attached to each oscillator.
Machine tool builders may prepare a parameter table including the
laser oscillator parameter data. If the attached parameter data sheets
are missing, contact your machine tool builder.
(1) On the CNC setting screen, enable parameter rewriting.
(2) Check the parameters, and enter the same values as those given
in the parameter table.
(3) On the CNC setting screen, disable parameter rewriting, then

press the reset key.
CAUTION
1 If the oscillator is started with an incorrect parameter
value specified, there is a risk of the oscillator being
damaged or destroyed. Be particularly careful when
entering and checking parameter values.
2 Some parameters may require modification to, for
example, suit the operating state of the oscillator or
enable maintenance. When modifying the
parameters, the user should record all changes
(including dates, parameters before modification,
parameters after modification, and reasons for
modification) so that old parameters and invalid
parameters are not used.
Check for leakage within the oscillator

(1) Modify the parameters listed below.
PRM.No.15008 bit 6 1 ® 0 (Automatic aging is disabled.
PRM No.15240 Setting ® 0 (evacuation completion pressure)
(2) Set the oscillator start switch to ON. The gas pressure inside the
oscillator can be checked with DGN 905.
(3) Alarm No. 4080 is issued eleven minutes after the oscillator is
started.
(4) Set the main circuit breaker of the oscillator to OFF. Then, turn
off the power to the CNC.
(5) Set the CNC start switch (RUN ON KEY) to OFF, then turn on
the power to the CNC.
- 36 -
(6) Check the gas pressure on the diagnosis screen to determine

whether there is any increase in pressure over 15 minutes. An
increase in pressure of within 10 is normal.
(7) After completing the check, turn on the start switch. Then, after
two to three seconds, turn off the switch. The oscillator will
perform a purge operation after 75 seconds.
(8) Finally, restore the parameter settings to their original values.
Locating a leakage
When there is a gas leakage, locate the leakage by using a leakage
checker or liquid leakage checker.
CAUTION
The turbo blower is not designed for pressure
application. If pressure must be applied, the upper
pressure limit is 0.08 MPa. Never apply pressure
higher than 0.08 Mpa. Applying a high pressure may
damage the connector, oil gage, and so on. To
prevent the connector from being damaged, apply
pressure with the cable left attached to the turbo
blower.
(1) Turn on the power to the oscillator, then open the valve of the
gas cylinder.
(2) Set the secondary pressure of the regulator of the laser gas
cylinder to 0.05 MPa.
(3) To make the pressure in the oscillator higher than the

atmospheric pressure, increase the atmospheric pressure sensor
(PWS2) setting by 0.02. (See Section 9.4.)
(4) Set the RUN key of the oscillator to ON, wait for two to three
seconds, then set the key to OFF. Wait until purge operation
starts.
(5) Place the leakage checker at a possibly faulty position where gas
seems to leak. If there is a leakage, the checker indicates it by
display or sound. When using the liquid leakage checker, drip
the liquid on a possibly faulty position. If gas leaks, bubbles
appear, so you can determine the location of a leakage.
NOTE
The leakage checker detects helium in the laser gas.
If ambient air flows, detection becomes difficult. So,
a gas leakage check should be made in a nearly no-
wind condition.

discharge tubes and trigger electrode.

not set this switch to ON until after LRDY has been set.
(5) Check that trigger electrode discharge maintains for 30 minutes

since the start of discharge.
(6) Upon the completion of the check, restore the parameters

modified in step (1) to their original values.

not set this switch to ON until after LRDY has been set.
(3) Set the following values on the laser setting screen:

Pc=1100W Du=5% Fr=5Hz
(4) Set the manual mode, and perform internal discharge operation
under the above conditions.
(5) Check that no alarm occurs for 30 minutes after beam-on.
(6) Upon the completion of the check, restore the parameters modified
in step (1) to their original values.
- 39 -
An alarm, if issued in step (5), check the external laser gas piping and
laser gas composition, or perform aging.
Beam mode check

(1) Remove the guide pipe or the first bend mirror located between
the exit of the laser beam of the oscillator and machine.
(2) Start the oscillator.
(3) First, check the beam position. Laser light, if allowed to

penetrate the acrylic material because of incorrect operation, is
very dangerous. The paint of the machine is also likely to be
damaged. So, attach as feel plate, then an acrylic plate, about
30cm ´ 30cm in size. Then, output laser light for 0.1 seconds,
with Pc = 1000W output and Du = 100% set by programming. At
this time, provide a flow of air with a drier. If a guide laser is
used, confirm that CO2 gas laser light is directed to the same spot
as the guide laser.
(4) Next, attach an acrylic block to the position indicated by the

white acrylic mark. Ensure that the surface of the acrylic block is
perpendicular to the direction of CO2 gas laser light. If a guide
laser is used, the perpendicularity of the acrylic block surface
can be checked by adjusting the block such that the guide laser is
reflected from the acrylic block surface and returns to the beam
outlet.
(5) Set the program as follows:

Output : 1000W / Duty : 100% / Duration : 4.0 seconds
(6) Direct the drier so that it blows air at 45° to the acrylic block,
then output the beam. If air is not provided correctly, the acrylic
vapor will catch fire.
(7) Observe the burn pattern, and record the directions (X direction,
Y direction) and output conditions.
Check items
1 Compare the recorded burn pattern with the burn
pattern data attached to the oscillator. Check that
there is no significant difference. Note, however, that
the shape may vary, depending on the distance.
2 Check that the shape is perfectly circular.
3 Check that no interference fringes can be observed
nearby.
If a problem is detected, align the resonator of the oscillator.
- 40 -
Discharge aging
If the oscillator is left unused for a long time (three days or more), or
if the laser gas circulating system has been opened to the atmosphere
(for example, to clean the mirrors or replace gas system components),
aging is required. This involves warming up the discharge tubes and
circulating gas by performing internal discharge to output absorbent
contaminants as gas. If the laser gas circulating system has been
opened to the atmosphere, perform a leakage check before attempting
aging.

2 Lock the shutter, then start the program.
· Manual operation
This method can be used when the machine operator's panel
has a switch enabling manual internal discharge.
1 On the setting screen, enter the output power and duty
ratio.
2 Press the internal discharge switch to perform internal
discharge.
- 41 -
(4) After 15 minutes has passed, set the RUN key to OFF to stop the
oscillator.
(6) Reset the discharge gas pressure to the normal value, perform
internal discharge operation with the specified output level for
15 minutes, then perform purge operation.
(7) Repeat step 6) until the discharge voltage becomes the factory-
set value plus up to 200 V.
(8) Upon the completion of aging, restore the parameter settings to

their original values.

a stock solution of DESLIME with your bare hands because the
solution is a strong chemical. If a stock solution accidentally
contacts your skin, wash the stock solution off your skin well
under running water.
If waste water used for washing is left standing, the main
ingredient, hydrogen peroxide, is decomposed. Wait until
hydrogen peroxide is decomposed, or dilute waste water with
water to reduce the concentration, then flush the waste water
down the drain.
4.4.1.4 Antifreezing solution
If the chiller is used in a cold district, it should be provided with an

antifreezing function. When it is extremely cold, the chiller should be
kept running.
If it is necessary to use an antifreezing solution for lack of an
alternative, he following antifreezing solution should be used. Its
concentration should be 30% (usually) or 40% (in an extremely cold
district). Use of an antifreezing solution should be restricted within
four months in winter. Do not use antifreezing solution together with

He : 40±2.00%
N2 : 55±2.75% (N2 balance)
(2) Water (H2O): 5 ppm or less
(3) Hydrocarbon (CnHm): 1 ppm or less
(4) Gas purity: 99.99% or higher
4.4.2.2 Gas pipe
Observe the following cautions for piping between the laser gas
cylinder and laser oscillator.
(1) Use nylon tube having an inside diameter of 8 mm or larger

(Junlon AS1 manufactured by Junkousha, or equivalent). Do not
use a rubber or urethane tube.
(2) Use a swage-lock vacuum joint. Do not use a one-touch coupler,
quick coupler, or hose-band joint.
(3) Minimize the length of tubing. It should be kept within 5 m.
Never exceed 15 m. For a length of 15 m or greater, use stainless
pipe.
(4) If it is necessary to use metal pipe for lack of an alternative, use
stainless bright annealed pipe. Minimize the number of joints
used. Connect pipes, if necessary, using a swage-lock vacuum
joint or by TIG welding. Do not use silver soldering or copper
piping. Piping should be installed by a vacuum piping specialist.
Do not extend metal piping over 30 m.
(5) Always keep the piping materials clean. Do not allow foreign
matter to get in the pipe.
(6) Use a pressure reducer that is free from gas leakage.
(7) After installing the pipe, check it for gas leakage, using a liquid
leak checker (Gyupoflex : A98L-0001-0856, detecting bubbles
caused by leaking gas) or a clamp test NOTE).
NOTE
Open the valve of the gas cylinder to pressurize the
inside of the pipe, then close the valve. Check to see
if the pressure in the pipe becomes low with time.
Monitor the primary pressure of the gas reducer for
over 8 hours. If the gas pressure becomes lower by
10% within 8 hours, gas is likely to be leaking. Take
an appropriate measure.

5.MAINTENANCE B-70255EN/01
5 MAINTENANCE
In FANUC LASER-MODEL C1000iA, periodic inspection items
have been reduced, and adjustments have been made easy. To keep
the oscillator in a satisfactory operating condition over a long period,
however, it is necessary to carry out periodic maintenance (including
daily maintenance) described in this chapter. The oscillator is
designed to maintain the same performance and reliability as it has
when it is installed, provided that maintenance is carried out as
prescribed.
- 48 -
B-70255EN/01 5.MAINTENANCE
5.1 DAILY INSPECTION
Table 5.1 lists daily inspection items. Inspect the C1000iA according
to this table. When parts (including oil) have been used for a
prescribed period, replace them quickly.
Table 5.1 Daily inspection items

Item Period Content and instruction
1 Residual laser gas Daily Check to see if the primary pressure is 1MPa or less as measured at the
regulator on the laser gas cylinder. If the primary pressure is 1MPa or lower,
replace the gas cylinder.
2 Exhaust pump oil Weekly Make sure that the oil level is between L (lower limit) and H (higher limit). If the
oil level is below L, supply oil. Be sure to replace the oil periodically, every
1500 hours of operation, whichever is earlier.
3 Exhaust pump oil leak Weekly Make sure that no oil is leaking from the exhaust pump main body, drain valve
and their periphery. If oil is leaking, immediately replace the exhaust filter,
because it is likely to have been clogged. Be sure to replace the exhaust filter
periodically, every 3000 hours of operation, whichever is earlier.
4 Turbo blower oil Weekly Make sure that the oil level is between L (lower limit) and H (higher limit). If the
oil level is below L, supply oil. Be sure to replace the oil periodically, every
1000 hours of operation, whichever is earlier.
5 Turbo blower oil leak Weekly Make sure that no oil is leaking from the turbo blower main body, oil inlet,
cock, and their periphery. If oil leaks for any reason other than a cock being
open, call FANUC.
6 Laser output Weekly If the laser output decreases within the oscillator, warning message No. 4085
is issued. If this message appears, clean or replace the mirror in the oscillator
quickly.
7 Cooling water Daily Make sure that the chiller discharge output is 5 Mpa or less.
At the start of the oscillator, also make sure that the water temperature is
20°C or higher.
Weekly Check the quality of cooling water in the chiller. Be sure to replace the cooling
water every two months. Adding an anticorrosive to cooling water can
decrease the replacement frequency.

5.3 DETAILS OF MAINTENANCE
When opening the panels and doors during maintenance, keep the
power turned off. Before replacing oil, be sure to check that purging
is completed.
5.3.1 Changing the Turbo Blower Oil
Check method
Check the amount of oil in the turbo blower while referring to the
figure below. The oil level should be between graduations H and L.
This check should be made when the oscillator is at a rest. When the
turbo blower is running, it is impossible to check the amount of oil
correctly.
Fig. 4.3.1 Turbo blower oil gauge
Replenishment method
(1) Remove the hexagonal-head screw from the oil inlet with a 17
mm wrench. Be careful not to lose the O-ring on the screw.
Before supplying turbo oil, stop the oscillator according to the
correct procedure and turn off the power.
CAUTION
If the oscillator is not stopped by the correct
procedure, the pressure in the turbo blower becomes
negative. Opening the oil inlet under such a condition
lets a large amount of air get in the turbo blower.
This flow of air causes oil mist to get into the
oscillator housing, resulting in contamination of
internal mirrors.
(2) Take out a bottle of oil from an oil kit (A04B-0800-K326).

Remove the nozzle from the bottle, and take off the inner lid,
then put the nozzle back on the bottle. Put the supplied tube into
the nozzle, insert the tube into the oil inlet, pour oil being careful
to cause no foreign matters to get into oil.
Pour oil while checking the oil level from the oil level window
until the oil level reaches the three-quarter position from L
- 51 -
between L and H. Either superfluous or insufficient oil can be a

cause of trouble.
(3) Lightly wipe the area around the oil inlet, hexagonal-head screw
on the oil inlet, and O-ring with a clean cloth or paper, then
check that there are no foreign matters. Foreign matters getting
into oil may cause a turbo blower fault. Check that the O-ring is
fit to the hexagonal-head screw on the oil inlet, then tighten the
screw (recommended torque: 800Ncm)
CAUTION
If the O-ring on the oil inlet is damaged, oil leaks.
(4) If oil has spilled over, wipe it up. Otherwise, the peripheral
equipment may be affected adversely.
(5) If there is oil left over, put the inner lid back on the bottle, and
keep the bottle in a dark, cool place.
Replacement method
(1) Get a container for oil drain on hand, and put the tip of the drain
tube into the container.
(2) Turn the oil drain cock through 90 degrees, and the oil will start
draining. Opening the oil inlet during draining can drain oil fast.
(3) After all the oil has been drained, close the oil drain cock by
setting it back in the initial place.
(4) Supply oil by following the same procedure as for
replenishment.
CAUTION
After replacing the turbo blower oil, perform
discharge aging.
- 52 -
5.3.2 Changing the Exhaust Pump Oil
Check method
Watch the oil gauge, and check that the oil level is between
graduations L and H. Also check whether the oil is dark.If the oil
level is below L, add oil to the turbo blower or replace the oil in it. If
the oil level is above H, drain until the oil level becomes below H.
CAUTION
The exhaust of the turbo blower contains oil mist.
The exhaust pump will capture oil mist, and the
amount of exhaust pump oil increases with time.
When the oil has increased too much, the filter gets
immersed in the oil, possibly causing white mist to
come out from the pump, or oil to leak. Furthermore,
the exhaust capacity may get lowered, or the pump
may be damaged.
- 53 -
Replacement method
(1) Stop the oscillator, and turn off the power.
(2) Remove the oil inlet plug. There is an O-ring on it. Be careful
not to damage it. A missing or damaged O-ring can lower the
exhaust capacity of the pump.
(3) Insert the drain tube into a drain oil pot.
(4) Open the drain cock.
(5) After the oil has been drained up, close the cock.
(6) Supply 1.8 liters of new oil through the oil inlet, while watching
the oil gauge.
(7) Attach the oil inlet plug.
- 54 -
5.3.3 Replacing the Exhaust Pump Filter
Replacement method
When the operation time reaches 3000 hours or the exhaust capacity
gets lowered, replace the filter. A clogged filter may cause a whitish
smoke of oil mist to come out of the pump or lower the exhaust
capacity.
(1) Stop the oscillator, and turn off the power.

(2) Remove the black screw from the exhaust pump unit, then
remove the filter cover and O-ring.
(3) Remove the spring and washer.
(4) Pull out the filter element.
(5) Check the mounting orientation of a new filter element, then
insert the filter. A filter mounted improperly may cause oil mist
(whitish smoke) to come out of the exhaust pump gas outlet.
Therefore, check again that the filter is mounted properly.
Replacement work is now complete.

Anomaly of gas pressure control
Pressing the RUN (pressure control start) button starts expelling
air from the laser gas tube. When a specified degree of vacuum
is attained, laser gas is supplied into the laser gas tube, and gas
pressure control begins.
Whether the pressure is within ±20 (266 Pa) of the pressure
specified for parameter No.15241 is checked, 45 seconds after
the start of gas pressure control. This alarm occurs when the
pressure does not fall within this range. When no error occurs,
the turbo blower rotates and the discharge start ready condition
(LRDY) is established.

This alarm is issued when the actual gas pressure is not within ±20 of the
parameter setting (parameter No. 15241) after 45 seconds have passed
since the start of gas pressure control.

6.4 MAJOR FAULTS
6.4.1 Laser Power Supply Alarm Display
(1) If an alarm is issued to indicate the occurrence of a power supply

fault, check the diagnosis screen to determine which power
supply unit issued that alarm signal. The bit corresponding to the
power supply unit that issued the alarm signal is set to 1.
Pressing the reset key or turning off the power clears the display.
#7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 #0
DGN.974 No.8 No.7 No.6 No.5 No.4 No.3 No.2 No.1
(2) Check the LEDs of the power supply unit that issued the alarm
signal. After an alarm is issued, turning off the power to the
oscillator causes the LED indication to disappear. So, check the
LEDs while leaving the power to the oscillator on.
(3) Types of alarms displayed by the LEDs show below.

DCI1 : DC momentary overcurrent alarm
DCI2 : DC peak current alarm (DC power alarm)
DCI3 : DC steady current alarm
DCV : DC overvoltage alarm
VC : DC control power supply alarm
OH : Power supply overheat
RFV : Overcurrent alarm
RFI : Overcurrent alarm
(4) The following lists the possible causes of each alarm.

Type of alarm Source Major causes
DCI 1 This alarm is issued if the DC current of Load short-circuit
DCI 2 the power supply unit is high when the Discharge tube
DCI 3 oscillator is operating in CW/pulse dielectric

VC This alarm is issued if an overcurrent or
overvoltage occurs in the control power
supply of the power supply unit.
OH This alarm is issued if water is not
flowing through the cooling water heat
sink of the power supply unit.
RFV This alarm is issued if a high voltage is Infinite load

- 84 -
Type of alarm Source Major causes

RFI This alarm is issued if a high RF current
flows through the discharge tube when
the oscillator is operating in CW/pulse
mode.
If the power supply unit fails just because the high-speed diode or
FET module is damaged, the power supply unit can be repaired by
component or PCB replacement. Other adjustments are not required.
If the power supply unit itself is replaced, power supply adjustments
are required after aging.
6.4.2 Power Supply Cannot Be Switched Off Using CRT/MDI Switch
The power supply cannot always be switched. It can be switched only

before the switching on of RUN (pressure control start) or after the
completion of purge with RUN off and the PURGE lamp lit.
6.4.3 Power Supply Cannot Be Switched On Using CRT/MDI Switch
Non-fuse breaker for IF PCB is tripping.
6.4.4 Laser Output Just After Switch On Is Low
(1) The cooling water temperature is not normal, although the chiller
unit is operating. This phenomenon may be caused when the
ambient temperature is low. In such a case, the specified
temperature will be set in five to ten minutes after the unit starts.
So, perform activation again.
(2) Slight leakage exists in the tube between laser and gas cylinder.
This is the case in which the laser output in the first run after a
long halt is low and becomes normal after the second run. Check
for leakage, loose fixing or crack. Correct the tube and fitting if
any anomaly exists.
6.4.5 Display of Fluctuating Laser Output On CRT
First check if PRM No. 15216 is taking the value of 60, which is a
standard. In case the fluctuation continues with this value used, read
the laser output monitor value indicated in DGN=906. Its range of
fluctuation is smaller than ±50. If it exceeds this value, check the
followings.
(1) Is the coaxial cable between the laser power sensor mounted on
the rear mirror holder and the relay PCB B (A16B-1600-0361) or
the cable between the relay PCB B and the IF PCB (A16B-2100-
0141) inside the laser oscillator fixed tightly?
(2) Is there anomaly in the laser power sensor output? Is the DC
resistor between the terminals of the power sensor unit in the
range 100W-500W?
(3) Check the input signal (LPWI-0V) of the relay PCB B.
- 85 -
If there exists any anomaly in the results of the above investigations,

replace the anomalous component.
6.4.6 Electromagnetic Contactor of Exhaust Pump Trips Thermally
Possible causes are listed below. Take appropriate action.

1 Anomalous setting of Ascertain if the setting of the contacter is done
thermal relay at 5.5 A. If not so, correct it.
2 Too high viscosity of oil 1) Check if the room temperature is lower than 5
degree. If so, raise it.
2) Check the deterioration of oil which causes
the viscosity increase. If so, change it.
Recommended exchange period is 1500 H
depending on the surroundings.
3 Reverse rotation The normal direction is counterclockwise when
direction of pump seen from the side of motor fan. If not so,
correct it at the terminal.
4 Excessive oil During pump operation, check the oil level
through the oil check window. If the oil level is
between H and L, the oil level is regarded as
normal.
5 Undesignated oil is used. Use the designated oil, NEOVAC SA-H

6.6 INDICATION OF STATE BY MEANS OF SELF DIAGNOSTIC

FUNCTION
When the machine breaks down, it is necessary to know if the trouble

is in the CNC, PMC, machine or laser. Even when there does not exist
machine failure, the machine might hang-up for waiting of external
signals. Then the check of inside state of CNC, interface between
CNC and PMC, one between laser and CNC needs to be done. Here
the description is given on the indication of troubles taking place in
laser using the self-diagnostic function of CNC. The indication of
troubles in CNC, PMC as well as machine is described in the
maintenance manual.

8.3 GAS CONTROLLER
The gas controller consists of components such as a suction unit,

exhaust unit, and pressure sensor. Fig.8.3(a) shows installation, and
Fig.8.3(b) shows piping of the gas controller respectively. The
functions of each of the components shown in the figures are outlined
below:
(1) Pressure sensor

This sensor continuously monitors the pressure in the oscillator,
from the heat exchanger on the inlet side of the turbo blower.
The sensor outputs a signal to the CNC. The sensor is of the
capacitance manometer type, which is notable for drifting little
with changes in temperature and for exhibiting very little
deterioration with time.
(2) Atmospheric pressure sensor

This sensor monitors whether the pressure in the oscillator has
reached atmospheric pressure.
(3) Filter
The filter prevents impurities from entering the oscillator.
(4) Gas pressure sensor

This sensor continuously monitors the pressure of the laser gas
supplied from an external source (such as a gas cylinder). When
the remaining amount of laser gas drops to a preset level or when
the supply pressure falls to 0.1 MPa or less, the sensor outputs
an alarm signal.
(5) Purge valve

This solenoid valve is used to fill the oscillator with laser gas so
that the gas pressure reaches the atmospheric pressure when the
unit operation is stopped. The valve is closed when the
atmospheric pressure sensor detects that the pressure in the
oscillator has reached the atmospheric pressure.
(6) External piping exhaust valve

When the oscillator is started, this valve is opened for a certain
time to allow laser gas to exhaust from the laser gas piping
between the oscillator and gas cylinder. When the oscillator is
stopped for a long time, this valve prevents gas of which
composition has changed or gas containing impurity from
entering the oscillator.
(7) Gas supply valve

This magnetic contactor opens to supply fresh laser gas to the
oscillator while the machine is operating. This valve is closed
when the unit is stopped, separating the oscillator from the
external piping.
- 112 -
(8) Pressure control valve

This valve is provided to maintain a specified laser gas pressure
in the oscillator. The valve is consistently and precisely opened
or closed according to commands issued from the CNC,
controlling the flow rate of the fresh laser gas supply.
(9) Exhaust flow rate adjustment valve

This valve adjusts the flow rate of laser gas exhausted from the
oscillator during normal operation. This valve is factory-adjusted,
so no adjustment is required except when the valve is replaced.
(10) Exhaust valve

This solenoid valve connects the exhaust pump to the inside of
the oscillator. When the oscillator starts, this valve is opened to
allow laser gas to exhaust from the oscillator. During normal
operation, this valve is closed, and a constant amount of laser gas
exhausts through the exhaust flow rate adjustment valve attached
in parallel.
(11) Three-way valve

This solenoid valve switches among the exhaust pump, oscillator,
and atmosphere. During exhaust pump operation, the valve is
connected to the oscillator. When the exhaust pump is stopped,
the valve switches to the atmosphere so that the exhaust pump is
open to the atmospheric pressure.
(12) Bypass valve

This solenoid valve connects the motor room of the turbo blower
and the exhaust pump. When the oscillator starts, this valve is
opened to allow laser gas to exhaust from the motor room.
During normal operation, this valve is closed, and a constant
amount of gas exhausts through the orifice connected in parallel.

9.SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT B-70255EN/01
9.1 LASER POWER SUPPLY UNIT
This unit is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not require
any further adjustment. If the power supply unit, matching box, or
discharge tube is replaced, however, the unit should be set and
adjusted as described below. When an FET module or diode in the
laser power supply is replaced, no adjustment is necessary.
For power supply adjustment, VR11 and VR13 are used. VR11 is
used to adjust base discharge, and VR13 is used to adjust the
maximum output of the power supply.
The key to adjusting base discharge is to maintain discharge.

If an attempt is made to produce laser output when discharge is off,
the power supply issues an alarm to protect itself. If such an attempt is
repeated, a stress is imposed on the power supply.
The key to adjusting the maximum output of the power supply is to
make an adjustment so that the specified maximum output of the
power supply can be produced. Output higher than the specified value
damages the power supply and discharge tube.
Output lower than the specified value reduces laser output.
When making power supply adjustments, prepare the following tools:

(1) Cable for connection to CN17 to measure DCI and DCV
(2) Precision driver for trimmer adjustment
(3) Tester
9.1.1 Preparatory Settings and Checks
(1) Set the S2 setting pin (VR13 adjustment range setting) according
to Table 2.
(2) Set the S5 setting pin (matching box temperature sensor setting)
according to Table 2.
(3) Connect the cable for DCI and DCV measurement to CN17.
(4) Check the connections of the cables, water joints, and discharge
tube.
(5) Check that the discharge tube is not damaged.

9.1.2 Base Discharge Adjustment
9.1.2.1 Rewriting the parameter
Rewrite the parameters according to the table below. (Upon

completion of adjustment, return the parameters to the original
values.)
Table 9.1.2.1 Parameters to be modified before starting adjustment

CNC parameters Settings
(1) PRM15000 bit 4, PRM15201 0
(Output compensation disable)
(2) PRM 15208 0
(Laser power feedback disable)
(3) PRM 15207,15210,15212 Maximum command. (See Table 2)
(Maximum output power setting)
(4) PRM 15223 2850
(Bias command value)
NOTE
For the setting of the other parameters, follow the
data sheet.
9.1.2.2 Base Discharge Adjustment
(1) Start the oscillator, and wait until the gas pressure is stabilized in
the base discharge state.
(Wait about 3 minutes. See DGN 905.)
(2) Then, check that all discharge tubes are continuously discharging.
If a discharge tube stops discharge, turn VR11 of the power
supply corresponding to the discharge tube clockwise until the
discharge tube discharges.
(3) Turn VR11 counterclockwise slowly to set the state where all of
the four discharge tubes are about to stop main discharge.
(4) Record the value of RFI.----------------------------------------------(a)
(5) Turn VR11 counterclockwise to adjust the value of RFI to a

value lower than the electric shutter adjustment value. (See
Table 2.)
(6) Turn off HV and set 2790 in PRM 15223 for specifying a bias
command value. (See Appendix B.)
(7) Check that trigger electrode discharge lasts for five minutes in
the base discharge state. If discharge is turned off, turn VR11 of
the power supply clockwise slowly, and increase the value of
RFI by 4 mA or increase the value of DCV by 0.7 V. After
- 117 -
turning off HV, turn on HV and check that stable discharge is

maintained for 5 minutes. Until this stable discharge state is
confirmed, repeat this step.
(8) Turn off HV, then set 2850 in PRM 15223 for specifying a bias
command value. (See Section 9.1.6.)
(9) When the base discharge state is set, wait for the gas pressure to
become stable.
(10) Record the value of RFI.----------------------------------------------(A)
9.1.3 Maximum Output Adjustment
(1) Specify the output of a half of the rated output value, and turn on
the beam. While checking that the power supply output (Note 1
in the Table 9.1.7) does not exceed the maximum power supply
output (Table 9.1.7) and that the value of DCV (Note 1 in the
Table 9.1.7) does not exceed 230V with A14B-0082-B209,
increase the output gradually to the maximum command value
(Table 9.1.7). If the maximum value is about to be exceeded,
turn VR13 counterclockwise to prevent the maximum value from
being exceeded.
(2) After output of the maximum command value, wait 3 minutes.

Then, adjust VR13 to set the power supply output to the
maximum power supply output.
(3) Record the value of RFI or the values of RFI and DCV
(See Subsection 9.1.5)-------(B)
9.1.4 Check
9.1.4.1 Fine adjustment of VR11 and VR13
(1) Three minutes after the beam is turned off, adjust RFI or DCV to
the value of (A) with VR11.
(2) Three minutes after the maximum command value is output,

adjust RFI or DCV to the value of (B) with VR13.
(3) Repeat (1) and (2) until no adjustment is required.
(4) Turn off the beam, and wait 3 minutes. Record the DCV, DCI,
RFV, and RFI values of each power supply. Then, check that the
laser output Pa does not exceed the maximum base output (Table
9.1.7), and that heat-sensitive paper does not react in the test of
Subsection 9.1.7. If a problem is observed, make another power
supply adjustment.
- 118 -
(5) After output of the maximum command value, wait 3 minutes.

Record the DCV, DCI, RFV, and RFI values of each power
supply. Then, check that the value of RFV does not exceed the
maximum RFV (Table 9.1.7).
9.1.4.2 Pulse Output Test
Output the pulse test command specified in the Table 9.1.7 by 5 Hz

and 5% for a pulse test time, and check that no alarm is issued. If a
problem is observed, make another power supply adjustment.
9.1.4.3 Completion of Adjustment
Return the modified parameter values in the Item 9.1.2.1 to the

original values.
9.1.5 RFI and DCV Value Recording and Adjustment
The laser power supply involves feedback at RFI. So, if the laser
power feedback function is disabled, RFI is stable when the
continuous output command is used. Basically, measure RFI for
power supply adjustment. If the NC monitor is away from the
oscillator, and you have no assistant, make an adjustment by using the
value of DCV instead of RFI. However, use the value of RFI for final
confirmation. The connector CN18 for RFV and RFI monitoring was
added to the power supply of B209. When using this connector,
follow the conversion formula described in Note 2 of Table 2.
9.1.6 Alarm Processing after Modification of Intra-tube Pressure at

Oscillation Time and Bias Command Setting
After modification of parameter No. 15242 and No. 15243 (intra-tube

pressure at oscillation time) and parameter No. 15223 (bias
command), take the actions below.
(1) If an alarm indicating a parameter value modification is

displayed, reset the alarm, and set HV ON.
(2) If an alarm requesting that the CNC power be turned off is
displayed, and purge operation is started, turn off the power to
the NC upon completion of purge operation, and restart.
- 119 -
9.1.7 Checking of Electric Shutter Operation
(1) Insert heat-sensitive paper into the laser optical path after
passing through the shutter mirror.
(2) output the continuous rated command value for 3 minutes. Then,
execute the following program (specifying OW for 60 seconds):
G32 P1 Q1;
G24 S0 P500 Q0 R60. ;
G32 P0;
M02;
%
(3) Check that the heat-sensitive paper has not reacted.

9.2 TURBO PCB
These PCBs are precisely adjusted at the factory and should not
require any further adjustment. If the turbo blower or turbo PCB is
replaced, however, VR1 to VR4 should be adjusted and set oil level
censor as described below.
(1) Prior to activating the oscillator, check the level of the turbo
blower oil through the oil window. If the level is higher than the
specified level, drain the excess oil. If the level is lower, add oil.
Specified level : 3/4 level, between Hi and Lo marks
CAUTION
When oil is added, aging is required.
(2) Turn trimmer VR1 fully counterclockwise.
(3) Start the oscillator. Execute internal discharge at the rated output
for 15 minutes. Then, set the unit to the base discharge state.
(4) Measure voltage VSO across VL1 and 0V (GND). This voltage
corresponds to the oil level sensor output.
(5) While monitoring voltage VC across VA1 and 0V (GND), turn

trimmer VR1 clockwise (VC increases). This voltage corresponds
to the alarm setting voltage.
(6) Check that the following alarm occurs when VC exceeds VSO
measured in step (4) above.
Alarm No.4106 BLOWER OIL SHORTAGE
- 121 -
(7) In the alarm state, adjust trimmer VR1 so that VC (voltage across
VA1 and 0V) matches the following value:
VC=VSO´0.778
(8) Press the reset key of the NC. Check that the alarm is reset.
NOTE
VR1 is three-turn trimmers.

2 : Soft lock signal
8 : Inversion command signal
AL0, AL1 : Relay contact output (ON : Normal)
L : Analog power supply common

Checking the parameters

The parameters of an inverter purchased by FANUC are set before shipment
from the factory. So, usually, the parameters need not be changed. The old
inverter can be replaced with a new one by reconnecting the cables, and the
new inverter can be used without any particular setting.
With the digital operator's panel attached to the inverter, all

parameters can be set and checked. Operate the digital operator's
panel with the power to the oscillator turned on.
Note, however, that no parameter can be modified when a cable is
connected to terminal 2 of the inverter control circuit.
When a parameter needs to be modified for a reason, detach the cable
connected to terminal 2 of the control circuit.

9.4 GAS CONTROLLER
This unit is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not require
any further adjustment. If the intake unit, exhaust unit, or atmospheric
pressure unit is replaced or requires re-adjustment, however, it should
be set and adjusted as described below:
9.4.1 Setting the Gas Supply Pressure Sensor
The gas supply pressure sensor is the sensor marked with PSW1 on
the gas controller.
(1) Turn the CNC on. Never turn on the gas pressure control start
signal (RUN) at this stage.
(2) Set the secondary pressure of the regulator of the external laser
gas supply (gas cylinder, for example) to 0.1 MPa.
(3) Release the lock mode, then set desired values according to
Section 9.5. After setting, check that the LED (green) of OUT1
is on.
(4) To check the setting, reduce the secondary pressure of the

regulator on the laser gas supply unit (gas cylinder, for example)
to 0.04 MPa. The green LED of the gas supply pressure sensor
(OUT1) should go off.
(5) This completes the setting. Set the lock mode.
9.4.2 Setting the Atmospheric Pressure Sensor
NOTE
While setting the sensor, the gas controller is open to
the atmosphere. To prevent dust from entering the
controller, pay particular attention to the immediate
surroundings.
The atmospheric pressure sensor is the sensor marked with PSW2 on

the gas controller.
(1) Close the main circuit breaker and turn on the power supply,
then turn on the CNC. A voltage is supplied to the sensor. Never
turn on the gas pressure control start signal (RUN).
(2) Release the lock mode, then set desired values according to
Section 9.5.
- 133 -
(3) Remove the orange gas tube by loosening the hexagon cap nuts
securing the tube. This causes the atmospheric pressure sensor to
detect the atmospheric pressure.
(4) Clear the sensor to zero according to Section 9.5. Reinstall the
removed gas tube, and resecure the tube. After setting, check that
the LED (green) of OUT1 is on.
(5) Turn on the gas pressure control start signal (RUN), and check
that the exhaust pump starts exhaust. Then, check that the LED
(green) of the OUT1 of this sensor is turned off.
(6) This completes the setting. Set the lock mode.
- 134 -
9.4.3 Adjusting the Exhaust Unit (Adjusting the Laser Gas

Consumption)
(1) Remove the piping from the filter of the gas controller, then
attach a gas meter for laser gas.
(2) Set PRM No. 15260 to 30, then start the oscillator. Air taken in
when the outlet is opened to the atmosphere in step 1) is
exhausted. After 30 seconds, turn off RUN.
(3) Set the laser oscillator to the base discharge state (LSTR).
(4) Increase the specified output gradually from a low level of

output to the rated output. When the RF voltage is high, perform
a purge operation once, then increase the output again.
(5) While checking the flow rate of gas with a gas meter when
internal discharge is performed at the rated output, turn the
exhaust flow rate adjustment valve to adjust the flow rate to the
set value.
(6) Stop the oscillator.
(7) Return the modified parameter value to the original value.
(8) This completes the adjustment.
NOTE
Excessive parameter value modifications increase
laser gas consumption and adversely affect gas
pressure control.

9.6 SETTING THE POWER INPUT COMPENSATION

COEFFICIENT
This coefficient is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not

require any further adjustment.
If the rear mirror in the laser oscillator is replaced, or the power
sensor unit is replaced, however, check and set the power input
compensation coefficient. For this setting, a laser beam is directly
measured. So, be sure to observe the safety requirements related to
laser beams described in Chapter 2.
(1) Change the following parameters.

PRM No.15208 ® Settings (Enables output feedback.)
PRM No.15209 ® Settings (Enables output feedback.)
(2) Place the laser oscillator in the base discharge state (LSTR).
Then, by using the procedure described in Chapter 11, check if
the oscillator is aligned optimally. If the oscillator is not aligned
optimally, readjust the oscillator.
(3) Perform internal discharge at the rated output for one minute or
more. Then, run the program below in the automatic mode, and
place a power probe in the middle of the optical path to measure
the output value Pr of a laser beam output externally. At this
time, it is recommended to make a measurement immediately
after the beam panel. Record the laser output value Pa detected
by the internal sensor and displayed on the laser setting screen
when this measurement is made.

Use a power probe calibrated periodically. A calibrated power
probe has a calibration coefficient attached. A correct output
measurement value is Pr' (probe conversion value) = Pr (probe
indication value) ´ calibration coefficient.
(4) If the value of the power input compensation coefficient K set in

PRM No. 15215 is correct, Pa should be equal to Pr'. If the value
of Pa differs from Pr' by ±5% or more, set the power input
compensation coefficient K (PRM No. 15215) again according
to the following expression:
K (new value) = Pr' (probe conversion value)/Pa ´ K (old value)
(5) Make another measurement of (3) above, and check that Pa = Pr'.

9.7 WATER FLOW SENSOR
This sensor is precisely adjusted at the factory and should not require
any further adjustment. If the water distribution unit or water flow
sensor is replaced, however, this sensor should be set and adjusted as
described below:
9.7.1 Adjusting the Water Flow Sensor
The operation point of the water flow sensor for C1000iA depends on
the pressure at the cooling water inlet of the oscillator.
So, note that the alarm operation point may slightly shift if the length
of piping from the chiller is changed significantly for a cause such as
the movement of the oscillator.
The adjustment method described below assumes that the pressure at
the cooling water inlet of the oscillator is 0.36 to 0.50 MPa.
(1) Detach the water flow sensor cables (black, white) from the
terminal block, then connect a tester to the tips (Faston
terminals). Set the tester for the resistance measurement range or
conduction check range.
(2) Adjust the flow rate the cooling water entering the oscillator to a
predetermined alarm flow rate. To perform this adjustment, use a
flowmeter having an appropriate capacity and accuracy.
Model Predetermined alarm Rated flow rate

flow rate
C1000iA 32 liters/min 40liters/min
(3) Remove the packing at the top of the water flow sensor, then
adjust the flow rate setting screw to find the position where the
flow rate sensor is placed in the conduction state (on).
(4) From the found position, turn the flow rate setting screw of the
water flow sensor counterclockwise until the water flow sensor
just becomes off.
(5) Increase the cooling water flow rate gradually to the alarm-off
setting flow rate, then check that the water flow sensor is on.
Model Alarm-off setting flow rate
C1000iA 35 liters/min
(6) Close the valve and make an adjustment to the alarm setting flow
rate, then check that the water flow sensor is off.
- 143 -
(7) Reinstall the removed packing and reconnect the detached cables
to the terminal block.

supply, slightly shift it to the right or left, then retry.
4) Once the power supply has been replaced, tighten the bolts,
then connect the water joints, power cables, and signal
cables correctly.
The new power supply must be adjusted before it can be used.
(2) Checking for and replacing a damaged high-speed diode or FET

module PCB
(a) Preparation
1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then turn off the
power to the laser oscillator.
2) Remove the top cover of the laser power supply from
inside the oscillator.
(See Fig. 10.2 (a). To remove the top cover, remove

3) Once the top cover has been removed, two FET
module PCBs (in the figure 10.2 (b)) and two diode
units appear.
(b) Checking for and replacing a damaged high-speed diode
1) To check whether a diode is damaged, measure the
resistance between the anode and cathode of each of
the diodes in the diode unit, by using a multimeter. A
resistance of less than 10W indicates that the diode is
damaged. (a normal diode will have a resistance of
about 3MW to 10MW.)
When measuring the diode resistance, apply the
positive probe of the multimeter to the cathode of the
diode, and apply the negative probe to the anode.
2) Remove the screw connecting the damaged diode and
the plate, then remove the diode fixing screw. See Fig.
10.2(c).
3) Install a normal diode, paying attention to its polarity,
then screw the plate firmly. This completes the
replacement work.
(c) Checking for and replacing a damaged FET module PCB
(See Fig. 10.2 (b).)
- 151 -
1) To check whether an FET module PCB is damaged,

measure the resistance between check pins D and S
shown in the figure.
A resistance of less than 10 kW indicates that the FET
module PCB is damaged. (A normal FET module PCB
will have a resistance of about 30kW to 10MW.)
2) Mount a new FET module PCB, fix it using the screws,
then connect the cables.
(d) Checking
1) Recheck that all removed screws and disconnected
cables are securely tightened or connected.

10.4 REPLACING THE TURBO BLOWER
When the turbo blower is replaced, the gas circulating system is open
to the atmosphere for a long time. Pay particular attention to the
immediate surroundings to ensure that dust and other contaminants do
not enter the gas circulating system.
Clean the flanges of the turbo blower and the pipe flanges before
replacing the turbo blower.
Do not incline the turbo blower while transporting and installing it.
Doing so will cause lubricating oil to enter the blower, contaminating
the laser gas circulating system and optical mirrors.
Fig.10.4 External view oft turbo blower
- 154 -
CAUTION
Usually, all oil is drained from a turbo blower prior to
shipping. Even so, however, the turbo blower must
not be inclined because trace amounts of oil will
inevitably remain inside the unit.
If a turbo blower is inclined, it can no longer be used.
Replacement procedure
Be careful not to damage the O-rings or their mating surfaces on the
pipes. A damaged O-ring or mating surface will result in gas leakage.
laser oscillator.
(2) Disconnect the cooling water tubes and power cables from the
turbo blower, then drain the oil from the turbo blower.
(3) Disconnect the two pipes from the turbo blower outlet.
Cover the removed gas pipes and turbo blower to prevent dust
from entering.
(4) Remove the hexagon headed bolt which secures the damping
rubber and blower base, then remove the turbo blower by sliding
it horizontally. Note that the turbo blower weighs about 30 kg.
(5) Remove the two metal brackets, used to secure the turbo blower,
from the removed turbo blower, then mount them on the new
turbo blower.
(6) Mount the new turbo blower on the oscillator, then fix the gas
pipes. Be careful not to damage the O-rings and ensure that no
O-ring is missing.

laser oscillator.
(2) Drain the cooling water from the oscillator, then disconnect the
two water tubes.
- 158 -
(3) Disconnect the tubes from the pump outlet and inlet. Then,
disconnect the heavy-duty power cables from the terminal block
on the side of the pump.
(4) Remove the bolts securing the exhaust pump unit, then remove
the pump unit. Remove the bolts securing the pump to the
mounting plate, then remove the pump.
(5) Position the new exhaust pump on the mounting plate, then
secure the pump unit by reversing steps (2) to (4). The new
pump may not be fitted with gas and water joints. Remove an
older pump first, then install a new pump as originally installed.
Ensure that the terminal block is wired correctly. Incorrect
wiring may cause the pump rotation to be reversed, causing the
pump oil flow to be reversed. Connect the cables, noting the
alignment marks.
(6) Pumps are shipped without lubricating oil. Fill the pump with
Matsumura Oil SA-H. Operating the pump without lubricating
oil will cause the thermal switch to trip, and will ultimately
damage the pump.
(7) Close the main circuit breaker, turn on the power to the oscillator,
then turn on the power to the CNC. Then, perform a laser
oscillator leakage test and check the operation of the exhaust
pump. When the power is first turned on, check that gas is output
from the gas outlet of the oscillator. The pump starts after gas
has been discharged from the external pipes for a few seconds.
Gas being drawn into the oscillator, or abnormal noise, indicates
that the pump rotation is reversed. In such a case, check the
wiring of the terminal block.

(4) Mount a new unit by reversing steps (2) and (3). Ensure that all
tubes are connected and tightened, and that the cables are
connected correctly.
(5) Perform all settings as described in Section 9.5, then check the
operation. If a laser gas flowmeter is not provided, adjust the
exhaust valve of the new exhaust control unit such that the
amount by which it opens (the angle and number of turns by
which the valve is open relative to the fully closed state) is the
same as that of the exhaust valve of the removed control unit.
- 161 -
10.10 REPLACING A DISCHARGE TUBE
When a discharge tube is replaced, the gas circulating system is open

laser oscillator.
Remove the top cover of the oscillator.
(2) Detach the cable connecting the discharge tube with the
matching box, by loosening the thumbscrew.
Remove all the screws from the flange which secures the
discharge tube (six screws are used for each discharge tube).
(3) Move the discharge tube toward the output, rear, and folding
mirrors, while rotating it. If the O-ring is too tight to allow the
discharge tube to be moved, lubricate the O-ring with alcohol.
Before attempting to move the discharge tube, however, move
the flange to the center of the tube. Then, hold the supported end
of the discharge tube, leaving a gap of 5 mm, then push the
discharge tube while rotating it. At this time, be careful not to
damage the end of the discharge tube. If the discharge tube is
damaged, glass chips may enter the gas circulating system.
(4) Move the O-ring to the center of the discharge tube, then remove
the discharge tube. If the O-ring is at the end of the discharge
tube, the end of discharge tube may be damaged while it is being
removed.
(5) Remove the copper plate from the removed discharge tube, then
mount it on a new discharge tube.
(6) Mount the flange on the new discharge tube, then mount the O-
ring. Before mounting the O-ring, wipe it with alcohol. A Teflon
O-ring is hard, and must be expanded slightly (by hand) before
being mounted. The surface of the O-ring may exhibit cracks or
some white deposits, indicating deterioration. Such an O-ring
may cause gas leakage or generate dust. Replace it with a new
one.
(7) Insert the new discharge tube into the discharge tube holder by
reversing step (5), then perform assembly by reversing steps (5)
and (6).
(8) Turn on the oscillator, then perform a gas leakage check.

11.LASER OPTICAL SYSTEM B-70255EN/01
11.1 CLEANING AND REPLACING THE OPTICAL PARTS
The optical parts in the laser oscillator, including the output mirror,
rear mirror, folding mirrors, and circular polarization mirror, must be
cleaned or replaced periodically. Similarly, if the laser output or beam
mode pattern becomes abnormal, the optical parts must be cleaned or
replaced.
When the output mirror, rear mirror, and folding mirrors are cleaned
or replaced, the discharge tubes are open to the atmosphere for a long
time. Therefore, pay particular attention to the immediate
surroundings to ensure that dust does not enter the discharge tubes.
When cleaning and replacing the output and rear mirrors, deal with
one mirror at a time. If both mirrors are removed at the same time, it
may prove impossible to attain the specified output level after they are
reinstalled. As a result, the alignment work required after mirror
replacement will become more difficult. Before removing the folding
mirrors, adjust the mode; it will subsequently be easier to perform
correction even if the folding mirrors are displaced.
To remove the folding mirrors, remove three mirrors at a time.
Reduced output or the inability to attain a good mode pattern after
cleaning or replacement indicates that the folding mirrors are
displaced. Perform adjustment using the micrometers of the folding
mirrors.
Follow the cleaning procedure given below.
C1000iA
1) Clean the output mirror
2) Clean the rear mirror
3) Clean three folding mirrors
- 180 -
11.1.1 Cleaning and Replacing the Output Mirror
Fig.11.1(h) Structure of diagram output mirror and rear mirror
Fig. 11.1.1(b) Attaching the holder of the output mirror and rear mirror of C1000iA
To clean the output mirror, follow the procedure given below. Since it
is necessary to touch the optical parts and vacuum parts while
cleaning the output mirror, wear clean gloves or finger cots. Do not
touch these parts with your bare hands.
The output mirror is fabricated using a toxic material. Be careful not
to touch the mirror with your bare hands. If you should touch it, wash
your hands thoroughly under clean running water.
Before starting cleaning, wipe away any foreign matter from around
the parts to be removed. If a removed part is inadvertently soiled,
wipe it clean with ethyl alcohol.
- 181 -
Procedure
(1) Turn off the power to the CNC, then open the main circuit
breaker or turn off the power supply of the laser oscillator.
(2) Hold the entire beam cover and turn it counterclockwise

gradually to remove the beam cover. At this time, be careful not
to apply an excessive torque to the mirror holder of the output
mirror.
(3) When the pressure of the vacuum system of the oscillator is

lower than the atmospheric pressure, it may prove impossible to
remove the output mirror. Confirm that the oscillator is in the
purge state and loosen the yellow and orange tube joints to allow
the internal pressure of the vacuum system to equalize with the
atmospheric pressure. If a negative pressure exists in the vacuum
system, the atmospheric pressure sensor must be adjusted. (See
Section 9.4.2.)
(4) Loosen the mirror holder mounting screw (M4 hexagon socket
head bolt), and remove the mirror holder from the alignment
unit.
CAUTION
When removing the mirror holder, be careful not to
drop the mirror from the mirror holder.
(5) Remove the output mirror and O-ring from the mirror holder,
and place them on lens cleaning paper. To simply replace the
output mirror at this point, go to step (12).
NOTE
When cleaning or replacing a mirror, be sure to
check the states of the O-rings of the mirror holder. If
a damaged O-ring or an O-ring that has lost elasticity
is used without replacement, gas can leak. It is
recommended to replace such O-rings as early as
possible.
(6) Place the mirror with its reflecting side (the side facing the
discharge tubes) facing up. Gently blow clean air (using, for
example, a camera blower) across the mirror surface to remove
dust and dirt. Drop ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner onto the mirror
surface, moisten a cotton swab with the fluid, and gently wipe
any dirty areas.
(7) Place lens cleaning paper over the mirror, then spray ethyl
alcohol or lens cleaner over the paper and mirror.
(8) Move the lens cleaning paper horizontally to and fro across the
mirror.
- 182 -
NOTE
Since the lens cleaner has a high surface tension, it
may be difficult to move the cleaning paper. As the
paper is slowly moved to and fro across the mirror,
however, the ethyl alcohol will gradually evaporate.
(9) Blow clean air (using, for example, a camera blower) across the
mirror surface to completely evaporate the ethyl alcohol or lens
cleaner.
(10) Repeat steps (7) to (9) until all dirt on the mirror surface has
been removed. Finally, clean the mirror surface with ethyl
alcohol.
(11) Check the transmitting side of the mirror. If its surface is dirty,
perform steps (6) to (9) for the transmitting side also. Note that if
an excessive amount of ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner is applied, it
may flow around the back of the mirror, leading to
contamination.
(12) Wipe the mirror holder and O-ring with ethyl alcohol.
(13) Reinstall the output mirror in the mirror holder, then insert the
O-ring. When installing the output mirror, pay particular
attention to the mirror orientation. The reflecting plane (the
plane indicated by the arrow on the side of the mirror) must face
the discharge tubes. The arrow is both scribed and marked with
ink such that, even if the ink is entirely removed, it will still be
possible to find the scribed arrow. Align the arrow on the side of
the output mirror with the mirror holder position.
(14) Mount the mirror by reversing steps (2) to (4). Install the mirror
holder in the alignment unit so that the mark on the mirror holder
faces down.
(15) Close the main circuit breaker or turn on the power supply of the
laser oscillator, then turn on the power to the CNC.
(16) Perform a leak check.
(17) This completes cleaning and replacement.
(18) Perform discharge aging.
(19) Then, perform alignment.

NOTE
Do not make any adjustments other than output
mirror alignment at this time.
- 183 -
11.1.2 Cleaning and Replacing the Rear Mirror
To clean the rear mirror, follow the procedure given below. Since it is
necessary to touch optical parts and vacuum parts while cleaning the
rear mirror, wear clean gloves or finger cots. Do not touch these parts
directly with your bare hands.
Procedure
(2) Hold the entire beam cover and turn it counterclockwise

gradually to remove the beam cover. At this time, be careful not
to apply an excessive torque to the mirror holder of the output
mirror.
(3) When the pressure of the vacuum system of the oscillator is

lower than the atmospheric pressure, it may prove impossible to
remove the rear mirror. Confirm that the oscillator is in the purge
state and loosen the yellow and orange tube joints to allow the
internal pressure of the vacuum system to equalize with the
atmospheric pressure. If a negative pressure exists in the vacuum
system, the atmospheric pressure sensor must be adjusted. (See
Section 9.4.2.)
(4) Loosen the mirror holder mounting screw (M4 hexagon socket
head bolt), and remove the mirror holder from the alignment
unit.
CAUTION
When removing the mirror holder, be careful not to
drop the mirror from the mirror holder.
(5) Remove the rear mirror and O-ring from the mirror holder, and
place them on lens cleaning paper. To simply replace the rear
mirror at this point, go to step (12).
NOTE
When cleaning or replacing a mirror, be sure to
check the states of the O-rings of the mirror holder. If
a damaged O-ring or an O-ring that has lost elasticity
is used without replacement, gas can leak. It is
recommended to replace such O-rings as early as
possible.
- 184 -
(6) Place the mirror with its reflecting side (the side facing the
discharge tubes) facing up. Gently blow clean air (using, for
example, a camera blower) across the mirror surface to remove
dust and dirt. Drop ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner onto the mirror
surface, moisten a cotton swab with the fluid, and gently wipe
any dirty areas.

been removed. Finally, clean the mirror surface with ethyl
alcohol.
(11) Check the transmitting side of the mirror. If its surface is dirty,
perform steps (6) to (9) for the transmitting side also. Note that if
an excessive amount of ethyl alcohol or lens cleaner is applied, it
may flow around the back of the mirror, leading to
contamination.
(12) Wipe the mirror holder and O-ring with ethyl alcohol.
(13) Reinstall the rear mirror in the mirror holder, then insert the O-
ring. When installing the rear mirror, pay particular attention to
the mirror orientation. The reflecting plane (the plane pointed to
by the arrow marked on the side of the mirror) must face the
discharge tubes. The arrow is both scribed and marked with ink
such that, even if the ink is entirely removed it will still be
possible to find the scribed arrow. Align the arrow on the side of
the rear mirror with the mirror holder position.
(14) Mount the mirror holder by reversing steps (2) to (4). Install the
mirror holder in the alignment unit so that the mark on the mirror
holder faces down.
(15) Close the main circuit breaker or turn on the power supply of the
laser oscillator, then turn on the power to the CNC.
- 185 -

CAUTION
Do not make any adjustments other than rear mirror
alignment at this time.
(20) After the rear mirror is replaced, the power input compensation
coefficient (PRM No. 15215) needs to be set again. See Section
9.6 for power input compensation coefficient setting.
- 186 -
11.1.3 Cleaning and Replacing the Folding Mirrors
Fig.11.1.1(a) Structure diagram of folding mirror unit: C1000iA
To clean the folding mirrors, follow the procedure given below. Since
it is necessary to touch the optical parts and vacuum parts while
cleaning the folding mirrors, wear clean gloves or finger cots. Do not
touch these parts with your bare hands.
- 187 -
Procedure
(2) Loosen the mirror holder mounting screw, and remove the mirror
holder from the folding mirror unit. To simply replace the
folding mirror at this point, go to step (11).
(3) The folding mirror is attached to its holder using vacuum grease.
It is, therefore, very difficult to remove the mirror from its holder.
Therefore, clean the folding mirror without removing it from its
holder.
(4) Place the mirror with its reflecting side facing up. Gently blow
clean air (using, for example, a camera blower) across the mirror
surface to remove dust and dirt. Drop ethyl alcohol or lens
cleaner onto the mirror surface, moisten a cotton swab with the
fluid, and gently wipe any dirty areas.

been removed.
(9) By using a cotton swab moistened with ethyl alcohol, clean that
part of the alignment unit which touches the mirror. This is
because flakes of coating may remain in this area. If the flakes of
coating are not removed, they may cause the mirror to become
misaligned.
(10) Install the mirror holder by reversing steps (2) to (3). Insert the
holder perpendicular to the alignment unit, so that the mirrors
touch the alignment unit evenly. When tightening the fixing
screws, tighten each screw evenly.
- 188 -
(11) When replacing a mirror, remove the mirror from its holder.
Grease is applied to the back of the mirror. So, insert the tip of a
standard screwdriver into the hole on the mirror attachment side
to push up the mirror. At this time, do not apply an excessive
force to the mirror holder and the spring section of the mirror
holder.
(12) Apply a thin coat of vacuum grease to the rear of the new mirror.
In those cases where the reflecting side of the mirror faces down,
the mirror will fall unless grease is applied.
(13) Place the mirror in its holder and, using a dryer, blow warm air
onto the holder to warm it. This will soften the vacuum grease
and bond the mirror onto the holder. Mount the mirror holder as
explained in step (10).
(14) Turn on the main circuit breaker of the laser oscillator, then turn
on the power to the CNC.

CAUTION
Never adjust any part other than the cleaned or
replaced folding mirrors.

11.2 ALIGNMENT OF THE RESONATOR
Fig. 11.2 Alignment adjustment points of C1000iA
The internal surfaces of the output mirror and rear mirror are concave.
For laser oscillation, the curvature centers and mirror surfaces of the
two mirrors must lie on the same axis. When this axis matches the
tube axis of the discharge tubes, in other words, when the laser beam
reflected by these mirrors passes through the center of the discharge
tubes, the output level is maximized, and symmetric beam mode and a
round section are obtained.
The theory of alignment is such that while monitoring the output
power level with a tester, you adjust the angle of each mirror to obtain
a maximum output power. Once this adjustment is made, all mirrors
are set for maximum output. So, if a mirror is misaligned, the original
state or original beam mode can be restored by adjusting the
misaligned mirror only to maximize the output power. Thus, with this
method, mode adjustment is simple, and can be performed with a
good reproducibility.
- 190 -
- Subsection 11.2.1 describes the procedure for adjusting all

mirrors of an oscillator not adjusted with this method, to obtain
the maximum output state. This procedure takes a rather longer
time. However, once this adjustment is made, adjustment work
required at the time of mirror cleaning can be remarkably
reduced.
- Subsection 11.2.2 describes the maximum output state
adjustment procedure required to correct an optical path shift
caused by a resonator distortion during transmission or
installation.
- Subsection 11.2.3 describes the adjustment procedure at the time
of mirror cleaning for an oscillator adjusted to the maximum
output state according to Subsection 11.2.1 or 11.2.2.
- Subsection 11.2.4 describes the method of obtaining a maximum
power.
- Subsection 11.2.5 describes burn pattern collection and beam
mode evaluation.
11.2.1 Method of Obtaining a Maximum Power by Adjusting All

Mirrors
(1) Record the adjustment screw readings of the output mirror

(O.C.), rear mirror (R.M.), and folding mirrors (F.M.).

3) Obtain a maximum power based on FM3 by using R.M. as
the reference.
4) Collect a burn pattern. If the mode is good, end this
procedure. If not, proceed to step 5).
5) Obtain a maximum power based on O.C. by using R.M. as
the reference. Then, repeat this procedure starting with step
2). At this time, collect a burn pattern in each step. If the
mode is finally good, end this procedure.
11.2.3 Alignment Procedure at Mirror Cleaning Time

(2) Collect a burn pattern. This is used for checking mirror dirt. If
the mode is good, end the adjustment.
(3) For C1000iA

1) Clean the O.C. and R.M. mirrors.
2) Obtain a maximum power based on O.C. by using R.M. as
the reference.
3) Clean the FM1 and FM2 mirrors.
4) Obtain a maximum power based on FM3.
- 192 -
11.2.4 Obtaining a Maximum Power
(1) Minimize the output power of internal discharge. If a large

output is used, the mode present when a maximum power is
obtained is not always the best mode due to thermal distortion of
each mirror. However, a capability of detecting an output
variation due to base output fluctuation, tester resolution, chiller
temperature, and so forth is required, so that duty cycle of about
15% is adequate.
(2) If the area is narrow, the output variation dependent on a shift of
the internal optical axis becomes small. So, with the C1000iA,
use the base conditions Pc = 1,000 W, Duty cycle = 15%, and
Frequency = 100 Hz, and adjust the duty cycle to determine the
actual conditions for internal discharge.
(3) Start discharge, and obtain a maximum power when the output is
stabilized after 5 minutes.
(4) Using mirrors A and B, and obtaining a maximum power based
on mirror B by using mirror A as the reference
While turning mirror A in one direction in steps of an interval of
the adjustment screw, for example, 0.5 division (5mm) or 1
division (10mm), adjust mirror B for each division, and obtain a
maximum power at each point of mirror A. From data obtained
at each point of mirror A, determine a mirror A position
representing a maximum power. Then, by aligning mirror A at
such a position, adjust mirror B to obtain a maximum power.
Two adjustment screws are provided for each mirror. So, be sure
to obtain a maximum power with one axis, then obtain a
maximum power with the other axis.
For C1000iA
For each of the X and Y axes of the folding mirror (FM), an
independent adjustment screw is not provided. So, to make
adjustments in the X and Y directions, obtain a maximum power
by using corresponding adjustment screws.
(5) Method of output power measurement
An output power can be viewed by connecting a tester to the
relay PCB. A voltage signal proportional to a power is output.
See Section 8.2.
- 193 -
11.2.5 Burn pattern Collection and Beam Mode Evaluation

11.3 ALIGNMENT OF THE GUIDE LASER
Fig.11.3
Make an adjustment so that the center of the CO2 laser beam is

aligned with the center of the laser diode beam.
(1) Attach an acrylic plate approximately 3 to 10 m from the outlet
of the laser oscillator, and obtain a burn pattern for the CO2 laser
beam (one shot, rated output, CW 100%, 0.1-second duration).
Do not attempt to touch the plate immediately after the pattern
has been obtained.
(2) By turning the X-axis and Y-axis adjustment screws, align the
semiconductor laser beam with the center of the burn pattern
obtained in step (1).When using the A04B-0811-D401 (laser
diode unit), turn the adjustment screws using a 2-mm hexagon
wrench.
(3) Compare the optical axis of the semiconductor laser beam with
the burn pattern of the CO2 laser beam, obtained approximately 1
m from the laser oscillator outlet. If the difference between the
two beam centers is within ±2 mm, the optical axis adjustment
can be regarded as being successful.
(4) If an optical axis mismatch is detected in step (3), adjust the
optical axis of the semiconductor laser beam by moving the plate
and stage of the semiconductor laser unit. Then, repeat the
adjustment procedure from step (2).

Throughout this description the following notations are used.
Descriptions of the signals used in the figure

RUN : Oscillator start switch
PURGE : Purge in tube completion signal
LRDY : Discharge preparation completion signal
PTLP : Warning light signal
LSTR : Oscillation preparation completion signal
[SQ0] POWER OFF state

This is the state prior to power on where all the signals are in off
state.
[SQ10] INITIAL state

After power is turned on, laser comes into PURGE=1 state. This
signal is on when atmospheric pressure sensor monitors that the intra-
tube pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
- 245 -
Usually when this signal is on, purge completion lamp on operational

board is lit.
[SQ20] READY OF DISCHARGING state
When oscillator start switch is turned on, evacuation is carried on and
then gas pressure control begins. When gas pressure reaches the set
value, laser comes into discharge preparation completion (LRDY)
state and it becomes possible to turn on HV.
[SQ30] READY OF BEAM-ON OPERATION state
When HV (high voltage command) is turned on, high voltage is
applied to discharge tube. Then with the command from CNC, base
discharge is established. Further intra-tube pressure control is
performed. When this is completed normally, laser comes into
oscillation preparation completion state.

[SQ16, 17, 18]

Setting the laser start switch to ON starts evacuation, which continues
until the pressure designated by PRM No. 15240 is reached. After
evacuation up to the value set in PRM No. 15240, gas pressure
control starts. Then, the pressure increases to the value set in PRM No.
15241. When 45 seconds has elapsed after gas pressure control starts,
a check is made to see if the intra-tube gas pressure is within ?20
relative to the value of PRM No. 15241. If the intra-tube gas pressure
is not within this range, an alarm is issued. If there is no problem, the
turbo blower starts and reaches the specified speed in about 70
seconds. Then, LRDY is set to 1 to set the discharge start preparation
completion state. If the frequency reached signal is not issued by the
inverter within 120 seconds of the turbo blower being started, an
alarm is issued.
[SQ20]
This is the state of discharge start preparation completion (LRDY=1)
and HV ON (high voltage command) is read.
[SQ26, 27, 28]

When HV is turned on in the discharge start preparation completion
state, a high voltage is applied to the discharge tube to generate the
base discharge state. At the same time, gas pressure control is
exercised. The intra-tube gas pressure increases from the value of
PRM No. 15241 to the value set in PRM No. 15242 or 15243. At this
time, a check is made to see if the intra-tube gas pressure is within
100 relative to the value of PRM No. 15242 or 15243. If the intra-tube
gas pressure is not within this range, an alarm is issued. If there is no
problem, an output compensation coefficient calculation is made.
[SQ30]
This is oscillation preparation completion state(LSTR=1) in which
laser oscillation is ready.
[SQ23]
When HV is turned off, discharge stops, and the state changes from
the oscillation preparation completion state (LSTR) to the discharge
start preparation completion state (LRDY). At this time, the intra-tube
gas pressure changes from the value set in PRM No. 15242 or 15243
to the value set in PRM No. 15241.
[SQ49, 14, 12]
When the oscillator start switch is set to OFF in the SQ20 state, gas
pressure control ends, and the termination of the turbo blower
operation is awaited for 70 seconds. If evacuation is enabled (bit 2 of
PRM No.15003 = 1) after RUN is turned off, evacuation is performed
for the period of time set in PRM No.15256, Then, laser gas is filled
until the intra-tube gas pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric
pressure. Upon completion of laser gas filling, the purge state is set.
When the purge state is set, the off-interlock contact is disconnected.

[SQ291]
When HV is turned on, high voltage is applied to discharge tubes and
voltage control begins. Here command is increased in ramp mode up
to the value of PRM 15220 (maximum bias command at discharge
start). The time required to reach PRM 15220 from HV ON is 6 sec.
[SQ292]
In this sequence, discharge is maintained at the discharge command
value set in PRM 15220 for the period of time set in PRM 15222
(discharge start wait time). Here all the tubes must be in discharge.
The state of discharge is checked by comparing tube voltage with
discharge start voltage (PRM 15221).
[SQ293]
When discharge start is confirmed in SQ 292, power command
changes to PRM 15223 (bias command).Here base discharge is
established for a while and the comparison between discharge tube
voltage and PRM 15270 (tube voltage in normal discharge) is done
using the following decision equation.
Vn-1 - Vn < PRM.No.15272
Vn-1 : PRM.No.15270 (tube voltage in normal discharge)
Vn : monitored voltage of the tube of the smallest number
(power supply)
PRM.No.15272 : Tube voltage decrease limit
The decision of normal state is given by the holding of the above
inequality. When normal, monitored voltage of Vn tube is set for
PRM15270. If PRM15000#4 is 0 then, laser enters oscillation
preparation completion (LSTR) state.
[SQ294]
When normal base discharge is confirmed and PRM15000#4 is 1, this
sequence begins to obtain power calibration coefficient. Power
calibration is to calibrate so that real and command powers become
equal. The equation used is as follows.
PRM.No.15204 = Pc / Pa ´1024
PRM.No.15204 : Power calibration coefficient
Pc : Command power
Pa : Actual power
The calibration coefficient is calculated by outputting the value
specified with PRM 15200 (when half of the discharge tubes are
used) or PRM 15201 (when all the discharge tubes are used) then
assigning that value to the above equation.
The value of Pa becomes an actual value measured after the time set
in PRM 15205 (compensation time setting) has elapsed.
The difference between the specified power and actual power is also
monitored. The laser is judged as being normal provided the
difference is less than the value specified with PRM 15271(power
decrease limit).The calibration coefficient is clamped to the value
specified for PRM 15203 (power calibration limit). Once the above
procedure has terminated normally, the laser enters the LSTR state.

set in PRM 15220 (maximum bias command value at discharge time)
in a ramp mode by the bias command to facilitate discharge. The time
required to reach peak value is 6 sec.
- 254 -
When discharge starts, the tube voltage decreases, and a certain

voltage is maintained.
The BIAS COMMAND after reaching peak is retained for the time
designated by PRM15222 (discharge start waiting time).
Then the comparison is made between intra-tube voltages and PRM
15221 (discharge start voltage). If the monitored voltage is lower than
PRM15221, discharge is confirmed. When this normal discharge is
confirmed, BIAS COMMAND is changed automatically from
PRM15220 to PRM15223 (BIAS COMMAND). If all the tubes are
confirmed normal discharge, intra-tube pressure is changed from
PRM15241 to PRM15242, 15243 (intra-tube pressure in base
discharge).

In the PRM 15000 bit 4 = 1 (setting of doing power calibration), the

following sequences proceed. In the setting of not doing power
- 255 -
calibration, laser enters immediately oscillation preparation

completion (LSTR) state.
Check command :
When compensation is to be performed, the value set in PRM 15200
or PRM 15201 (output at compensation) Power ON is specified.
Then, by using the output monitor value obtained when the time set in
PRM 15205 has elapsed after the specification, the value of PRM
15204 (compensation coefficient) is found from the following
formula:
PRM.No.15204 = Pc(power command)/Pa(real power)´1024
Example）Pc = 2000W,Pa = 1900W
PRM.No.15204 = 2000/1900´1024 = 1077
The result is compared with PRM15203 (power calibration limit).
When PRM15204 exceeds PRM15203, the former is clamped by the
latter.
LSTR = ON : Oscillation preparation completion signal is on.
At this time, beam output from the laser oscillator becomes possible.
