(4) Guide laser (Laser diode)
A diode laser is used for coarse-control of the optical system axis
after a light beam is output from the oscillator. This laser can also
be used to identify the point to be machined.
(5) Assist gas unit
In laser material processing the injection of assist gas is required
onto the cutting spot. It works to cause exothermic reaction, blow
off molt or cool the work.
(6) Laser gas unit
Pre-mixed laser gas consisting of CO
2
, N
2
, and He is introduced
to the laser oscillator from this unit.
(7) Chiller unit
This unit supplies cooling water to laser resonator, power unit,
and optics. As the cooling water temperature affects the stability
of laser output power, the chiller works to control the water
temperature within the required range.
(8) CNC
This CNC regulates FANUC LASER C1000/C2000/C4000/
C5000, and C6000-MODEL E and the work table.
(9) PMC
The CNC for FANUC LASER C1000/C2000/C4000/C5000 and
C6000-MODEL E requires the use of PMC regulating the
interface between CNC and machine.
(10) CRT/MDI
The CRT/MDI units for FANUC LASER C1000/C2000/C4000/
C5000 and C6000-MODEL E are either a 9 inches monochrome
CRT or 14 inches multicolor one.
(11) Operator's panel
For operating laser oscillator as well as CNC, an operator's panel
is required.
(12) AC servomotor
The customer can select among FANUC AC servomotors for
their use.
(13) I/O device
The CNC is provided with a reader/puncher interface and can be
connected with any among FANUC I/O devices.
