When the aging operation is to be started manually at the time of
maintenance of the oscillator, it can be started by setting on the aging
setting screen. At power–up of the CNC, the “Manual mode” item on the
first page of the aging function setting screen is initially set to 0. When
this item is set to 1 then RUN–ON is performed, the aging operation is
performed as many times as the number set in “No. of manual operations”
regardless of whether the aging function is enabled or disabled and of the
period for which the oscillator has been stopped. When the LSTR state
is entered after aging is completed, the “Manual mode” is set to 0
automatically. Even when this item is set to 1 after RUN–ON, this item
does not become effective, and manual aging by this item is not started.
The value set in this item is determined at the time of RUN–ON, so even
when the setting of this item is changed during aging operation, the
operation does not change.
As the aging operation starts, the gas pressure and laser output condition
settings are automatically rewritten for aging. When the aging operation
is in progress, to stop the aging operation and to execute the ordinary start
sequence, follow the steps explained below. (The same steps are used for
both manual aging and automatic aging.)
1 Stop the laser oscillator (RUN–OFF) to place the oscillator in the
purge state.
2 On the first page of the screen, set “Manual mode” to 0.
3 On the first page of the screen, set “Aging” to 1.
4 On the first page of the screen, set the current time in the time data
items.
5 After changing the settings, restart the oscillator (RUN–ON). The
parameters for specifying the gas pressure values (parameter Nos.
15242 and 15243) are changed to the values set in parameter Nos.
15324 and 15325, and the power compensation conditions
(parameter Nos. 15201, 15332, 15333, and 15205) are changed to the
values set in parameter Nos. 15320 to 15323 automatically.
1 Perform HV–OFF.
2 On the first page of the screen, set the “Rest” to 0.
3 Perform HV–ON again. The parameters for specifying the gas
pressure values (parameter Nos. 15242 and 15243) are changed to the
values set in parameter Nos. 15324 and 15325, and the power
compensation conditions (parameter Nos. 15201, 15332, 15333, and
15205) are changed to the values set in parameter Nos. 15320 to
15323 automatically.
The way of displaying the above screen items can be changed by
parameter setting. If bit 4 of parameter No. 15014 is set to 0, only the first
page of the above screen is displayed, allowing change of the “Manual
mode” setting only. The second and third pages are not displayed.
If bit 4 of parameter No. 15014 is set to 1, all pages and items are
displayed.
