E. Introduction
1. Presentation
The Laser Solution Fiber-series laser is made up a marking head and a CCU, containing a Class 4 laser.
The CCU contains all the electronic elements required for the equipment to function (power, control and
command).
It must always be connected to the marking head.
Marking is carried out by the marking head, which integrates two motors (X- Y) to displace the laser beam on
the part to mark.
2. Identification of the marking equipment
The marking equipment is identified by:
• 1 identification plate on the marking head

• 1 identification plate on the Control Unit
Have the model and serial number of the equipment available when contacting Gravotech.
3. Work station safety

• Turn off the machine before beginning any cleaning, maintenance or repair procedure.
• Never unplug a cable while the Control Unit is turned on.
• Use the appropriate protection when equipment is used in a polluted environment. Use of these protections
are the user's or the integrator's responsibility.
• In the event of power problems, install a UPS (power conditioner).
• The marking head and the Control Unit must be clean and protected from dust. Exterior optics must be
verified and cleaned if necessary.

Introduction
Marking head
• The optical fiber cannot be disconnected from the optical head or the CCU. A wide range of potentially
hazardous substances may be emitted. Leave a clearance.
• Electronic dimensional drawings available upon request.
• The optical fiber, linking the CCU to the marking head, must respect a minimum bending radius of 70 mm
(2.756 in).
• Minimize shocks and vibrations on the marking head.
• Respect optical head's indexation in the marking head (see installation section).
• Never ship the laser with the optical head installed in the marking head.
• Allow approximately +/- 20 mm (0.787 in) for the focal point adjustment (List of accessories available upon
request: Contact us).
• If the equipment is stored at a temperature inferior to 10 °C (50 °F) or superior to 40 °C (104 °F), leave it
24h at a temperature between 10 °C (50 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F) before start-up.
Control Unit
• When unpacking the CCU, hold the optical head to prevent it from falling. Remove the CCU's protective
packing at the last moment. Quickly connect the optical head to the marking head with the 3 screws
provided.
• Position the Control Unit horizontally, in a dry, ventilated area, at least 20 cm (7.874 in) from the floor.
• In difficult environments (i.e: oily mist, small dust particles, high humidity, high temperature...), place the
CCU in a filtered or even air-conditioned cabinet to protect it from damage.
• Allow clearance (connections and cables): Analyse the CCU's integration in order to avoid problems due
to the fiber's minimum bend radius.
• Use a cooling system in a high temperature environment.
Handling the machine

• The head must be handled with the greatest care.
• In the event of an extended period of non-use, unplug the power cable and protect the machine.
• Never pour or spill liquid on the machine (drinks, cleaning products, etc.) except where recommended by
Gravotech.
Gravotech will not be held responsible for injuries resulting from disregard for the above operating instructions
or other general safety rules applicable to the use of this equipment or resulting from misuse. Furthermore,

G. Laser safety
1. Recommendations and safety regarding laser devices
Personnel safety
Class 4 laser device designed for integration - See declaration of compliance.
If the machine is being integrated, the installer is responsible for ensuring the final equipment conforms
to current legislation. Observe EN 60825-1 standard concerning the controls and signage (access
panels, doors, emergency stops...). Example: application of safety pictograms, installation of suitable
guards, use of the electrical safety channel provided on the equipment (non-exhaustive list).
The area in which the machine is used must be limited to authorized and protected personnel only. Only
trained personnel aware of the risks posed by the machine are authorized to use it. Only Gravotech
personnel, or persons authorized by Gravotech may service the elements that constitute the marking
machine. Any intervention by unauthorized third party would exclude Gravotech's liability.
Operators and service personnel must receive laser safety training. Carefully read the "Laser Safety"
chapter. For help, contact Gravotech.
Laser radiation is invisible, but exposure, direct or scattered, is hazardous to skin and eyes.
Do not use this marking equipment in an explosive environment. No inflammable material is to be

close to the reflected beam (i.e: operator's shirt, curtains, wall covering in non-synthetic material: fire
hazard). For safety reasons, never operate the machine without constant surveillance.
The operator is not to wear reflective objects on his/her arms/hands (i.e: jewellery). Marking reflective
materials (those with a copper, gold or silver base) or materials with a polished surface represents a
hazard both for the operator and the machine.
This machine is equipped with a class 4 laser source. This laser can produce dangerous diffuse
reflections. It may lead to skin and eye injuries as well as a fire risk. Its use requires extreme caution.
All protective measures against risks linked to fire from the interaction of the laser with flammable
materials must be used as soon as the key on the front panel of the CCU is turned to position 1. Fire
prevention and protection equipment is the user's responsibility.
It is mandatory that the operator wear eye protection with the suitable filter lenses (DIR LB6 - 1064 nm).
Any person standing in proximity to the laser must obey the same safety instructions.

Laser safety
4. Potential hazards related to materials worked with
Fumes and toxic particles
Laser marking certain materials emits dangerous fumes and particles that may be
toxic and/or damage the equipment. In this case, adapt an extraction system (with
filtration if necessary) to the marking station. The user must check the compatibility
of marked or engraved materials with the laser type.
The processing of parts using this type of Laser causes thermal and photo-electric (molecular) deterioration
of the material. Even micro-quantities of the by-product (soot or fumes), created during Laser marking, may
accumulate over a long period. Some of these by-products may prove to be hazardous to humans.
Health side-effects to the operators may include poisoning, allergies or cancer. Here are some examples of
the most sensitive materials:
• plastics and rubber

• painted materials
• anodized and galvanized metals
• ceramics
• materials containing lead or mercury
For a more detailed list of the risks related to the material worked with, consult Annex A of the ISO 11553-
1:2005 standard.
Laser marking certain materials emits dangerous fumes and fine particles that may damage health. The fumes
and fine particles may damage the equipment.
Recommendations: use an adapted extraction system with 3 levels of filtration: a pre-filter for large particles, a
HEPA filter (retaining 99.97% of 0.3 µ particles) for fine particles and an activated carbon filter for dangerous
fumes. The fume capture inlet should be as close as possible to the marking area.
The user must observe national legislation in force concerning chemical agent exposure limits.
For more information, contact us.
Examples of secondary radiation risks
The use of a class 4 laser device can generate:
• A risk of fire or explosion due to materials or inflammable substances

• UV radiation
• X rays
• high intensity visible light when marking on certain materials

Laser safety
Reflected beam
Special integration is required when marking some materials to prevent the beam reflecting.
• copper, copper-based materials (bronze, brass)

• gold
• silver
• polished materials

the machine before any intervention (Put the On/Off switch in the "O" (Off) position).
1. Physical installation
Mounting
Attach the Laser Solution Fiber-Series integrable marking head to a support using 4 M6 bolts.
For alignment, there are positioning holes Ø 6 mm (0.236 in) F7 for Ø 6 mm (0.236 in) pin.
Bolts should not penetrate more than 15 mm (0.591 in) into the casing.
Pins should not penetrate more than 10 mm (0.394 in) in the casing.
Torque is 10 Nm (7.376 lb ft) maximum.
Never power up the control unit before installing the optical head in the marking head.
Never operate the marking machine without its focal lens.

Recommendations for installation
Possible integration and operating positions for the Laser Solution Fiber-Series
The Laser Solution Fiber-Series marking head may be assembled in various positions. We recommend the
horizontal position, with the laser beam directed downwards.
Where it is used with the laser beam pointing upwards, particles can be deposited on the focal lens, affecting
marking quality or even damaging the laser. A protective device can be inserted between the focal lens and
the part being marked. This protective device consists of a piece of glass with high transmittance treatment to
1064 nm. It should be placed as close as possible to the focal lens (X = Minimum). The presence of the glass
may reduce the marking field.
1. Laser protection glass (HT@1064 nm)

2. Protective guard between the marking head and the part
3. Plate to be marked
Do not use a piece of ordinary glass.
Clean the protective glass regularly to prevent loss of power and deterioration of the
marking quality. It must be cleaned with an appropriate lens paper using acetone.

Control Unit
4U 19" rack mount: Used to integrate the CCU in a cabinet. Vertical position possible
Recommendations: Work area lighting must be greater than 500 lux.
The optical fiber, linking the CCU to the marking head, must respect a minimum
bending radius of 70 mm (2.756 in).
Analyse the CCU's integration in order to avoid problems due to the fiber's minimum

Height adjustment
For optimal marking quality, the part must be placed at the proper distance from the marking head. This is the
focal distance or working distance.
This distance varies depending on the focal lens used and the specific characteristics of the machine's laser
beam (diameter and beam divergence).
LENS X (mm) Y (mm) Z adjustment (Δz)

f 100 92 98 standard +/- 5 mm (0.197 in)
f 160 182 188 3D module +/- 20 mm (0.787 in)
f 254 278 284
f 330 398 404
These values are approximative.
Distances may vary approximately +/- 5 mm (0.197 in) depending on the laser's and focal lens' specific
characteristics.
3D module: distances may vary approximately +/- 20 mm (0.787 in) depending on the laser's and focal lens'
specific characteristics.
The use of the CHR accessory or a sensitive adjustment device is strongly

recommended. See: Accessories available upon request
Air flow
Always leave a free space of 50 mm (1.969 in) in front of the CCU and of 150 mm (5.906 in) in back for good
air circulation. As components are air-cooled, air circulation in the CCU must not be perturbed.

4. Electrical installation
Grounding must be done according to the regulations in effect to ensure the safety
of the personnel. The connection to the single phase power supply is made with a
standard, 3 pin plug with grounding. It must be equipped with an adequately calibrated
30 mA differential cut-off and protection device.
To avoid interference problems due to the external environment, observe the following:
• Use the link cables supplied. They comply with EMC radio-frequency interference emission standards and
provide protection from external electrical interference (compliant with EMC immunity and susceptibility
standards).
• Bring the items of equipment to be linked as close together as possible to reduce the length of cable to be
used.
• Separate the power cable from the link cable and make sure the power and link cables do not run through
the same cable tray.
• Connect the machine direct to a mains power line and avoid connecting more than one device to that line
(by plugging several devices into the same mains socket or into a multi-way adapter).
• Do not allow inductive or capacitive devices to be connected to the same mains power line as the machine
(motors, solenoid valves, chargers, etc.).
• Avoid the installation of manual or automatic switching systems on the same mains power line as the
machine (relays, timers, programmers, automatic circuit-breakers, automatic switches, etc.).
• Check that devices in the vicinity of the machine meet the standards for electromagnetic interference.
Read the technical data sheet for each device. If they are non-compliant, move them as far away from the
machine as possible.
• Connections and cabling: Separate the power supply cables from the control cables in cable ducts and in
the cabinet (For control cables, a section of 0.34 mm² is recommended.).
• Equipment filtering: The relays connected to the marking machine should include a device for suppressing
interference on the operating coil (freewheeling diode for DC relays or RC circuit for AC relays).
• Connection of shielding: The communication cables (All Or Nothing I/O or Ethernet - RS232 computer
cables) must be shielded with both ends of the shielding connected to the equipment ground via the
shortest possible link.
• Grounding: Connect together all the conductive metal grounds (no paint or treatment such as anodization)
of the equipment (frame, cabinet, marking machine) to ensure effective connection. Where possible, there
should be multiple connection points to improve the connection quality.
• Use the Technifor / Gravograph accessories.
Always switch the machine off before connecting or disconnecting a cable or optional
accessory.

Preventive maintenance
1. Optics maintenance
The use of alcohol is not permitted, to preserve the optical treatments applied to the
lenses and mirrors.
All optics present in the laser must be perfectly clean to ensure good functioning, without risks of degradation
of the quality of the marking equipment.
Dust protection caps
When dismantling, use the protection caps supplied with the marking head and the optical head.
Marking head
The marking head is sealed and dustproof (IP54). It must remained sealed to avoid dust infiltration on the
optical elements.
Protection labels must remain untampered as a proof the marking head was not opened.
DO NOT OPEN LASER COVER

WARRANTY VOID IF
SEAL IS BROKEN *
* DO NOT OPEN THE LASER COVER

WARRANTY VOID IF SEAL IS BROKEN
The only opening of the marking head is the connection to the optical head.
If the optical head is to be temporarily removed, protect the opening with the plug supplied with the marking
head.
The focal lens is covered with a protective glass to avoid any risk of lens
damage.
This glass must remain clean and be checked regularly (at a minimum, once
a week; more often in a dirty environment or if the laser beam is pointing
up).
It must be cleaned with an appropriate lens paper using acetone.
Do not remove the focal lens for cleaning.

If the focal lens must be removed, the two faces must be verified and cleaned as described above. Cover the
opening with the plugs supplied with the machine. When reassembling the focal lens, check carefully both
galvanometric deflection mirror's cleanliness.
Focal lens' internal face Open head with mirrors
Protection cap(s)

2. Element ventilation and cooling
The CCU and certain elements of the laser require active cooling using fans.
The protection grids by which the cooling air comes in and out must be cleaned and regularly checked. The
stainless steel front grill is removable. It must be cleaned regularly (alcohol, industrial degreasing agent).
Clean the front panel thoroughly to avoid causing a fault in the CCU or causing
damage to the laser source.
In difficult environments (i.e: oily mist, small dust particles, high humidity, high
temperature...), place the CCU in a filtered or even air-conditioned cabinet to protect
it from damage.

P. Incidents and resolution of the problems
This chapter presents possible problems related to the laser source and their solutions.
Error messages linked to the marking cycles (data transmission problems, cycle interruption, etc...) are
described in the Lasertrace / Laserstyle program manual.
The marking system is equipped with a number of detectors in order to insure its functioning and to stop the
laser source in the event of a problem.
In the event of recurring problems, contact Gravotech or your distributor.
