1) Temperature setting of cooling water: > 22±1C(It does not have to be changed in summer). 2) Requirements on Cooling Water: Purified water should be used. > In order to prevent the growth of mold that may lead to blockage, adding alcohol solution to about 10% of the total volume is recommended. > If ambient temperature is between - 10C and 0C, we recommend to use 30% alcohol(volume ratio), and replace it every 2 months. > If ambient temperature is below - 10C, the chiller with both heating and cooling functions must be used, and keep it in full-time operation. 3) Other cooling system requirements: > Check the entire water system and joints for leaks, the first time starting the cooling system. The external water pipe must be installed and connected according to the water inlet (IN) and water outlet (OUT) indicated by the laser, otherwise the laser may not work properly. > If the laser is not used for a long time, the cooling system and the cooling water inside the laser should be drained, otherwise it will cause irrecoverable damage to the laser. Set the water temperature of the cooling system correctly according to the ambient temperature. If the water temperature is set too high, the laser will not work properly. If the water temperature is set too low, condensation will occur inside the laser or the laser output cable, which will cause irrecoverable damage to the laser Before staring the laser, the cooling system must work properly and the water temperature reaches a suitable temperature.

Wuhan Raycus Fiber Laser Technologies Co., Ltd. User Guide of RFL-C3000S Series
c) The customer shall test the cooling water quality on-site monthly. If the water quality fails to meet the requirements, the cooling water must be replaced immediately, and the cooling water replacement cycle shall not exceed 3 months. d) When the ambient temperature is below 0℃ in winter, the cooling system is prone to freezing, which may cause damage to the laser. It is recommended to use a suitable antifreeze, when the ambient temperature drops to 5℃ in winter. The concentration of the antifreeze should not be too high, as an excessively high concentration will affect the heat dissipation of the system. The proportion can be referred to Table 6 for preparation and use. e) Antifreeze is corrosive. After the weather turns warm(when the ambient temperature is continuously above 10℃), the cooling system should be cleaned and the cooling water replaced with water mixed with alcohol as soon as possible. f) When the laser is transported or not used for more than one week, the cooling water inside the equipment should be drained completely, and the residual water inside the equipment should be blown clean with compressed air at a pressure of less than 0.7Mpa. Otherwise, irreversible damge will be caused to the water circuit system of the laser. Table 6 Recommended Proportion of Antifreeze Serial Number

Center: Calculate the deviation value between the pipe section center and the mechanical center to compensate.
Center types: single-sided centering, two-sided centering, two-point centering, four-point centering, four-sided centering, five-point centering.
Centering compensation value: The centering compensation value of pipe center deviation X is applied to 0-degree and 180-degree faces, and the centering compensation value of pipe center deviation Z is applied to 90-degree and 270-degree faces.
Operation steps: When the discharge result that needs to be cut is imported from the import in the upper left corner-click Generate Code-then click the small indication arrow under the machine tool settings, select the centering method -then click Start in the pop-up window to divide (the premise of center is that it has been returned to zero, level and beam center have been corrected, and there is a pipe below it. Check whether the dimensions are correct. If there is no problem, then centering can be done.
Note: 1. Be sure to confirm that all axes have returned to the origin before centering. 2. XU has been centered and corrected in level. 3. Make sure there is tubing under the cutting head and the tubing size is correct
At present, there are five kinds of centering methods, and different pipes correspond to different centering methods For example, round tubes can only be centered at two points, square tubes can all support the five kinds mentioned above, and angle irons currently only support single-sided and two-sided centering. Centering methods must be selected correctly, otherwise the hitting of the laser head will occur. V1.0

Note: Note: If the self-tuning fails or the servo delay is too large on the Z axis, it is due to the low rigidity and gain of the driver, which leads to the large feedback delay of the servo system. If the feedback delay of the servo system is greater than 10ms as a result of self-tuning, it is necessary to improve the position loop gain and appropriately increase the system rigidity to ensure that the feedback delay of the servo system on the Z axis does not exceed 10ms before it can be used normally.

4.5 Power Curve
The laser energy output curve can be displayed by checking the corresponding selections: There are two power-speed curves: duty cycle and frequency. Users can check any combination to display. It is recommended to only check duty cycle, as the effect is more obvious and it is easier to debug. Click the Edit button to enter the curve editing interface for editing.
The power control curve of this software is fitted by spline curve mode, the abscissa is the speed, the ordinate is the laser output, and the power control curve is fitted by spline curve, with high smoothness. Readers can choose three kinds of curve editing interfaces on the tab page above. The duty cycle is 50% when the speed is 0%; The duty cycle is 60% when the speed is 20% ~ 30%; The duty cycle is 90% when the speed is 60%; The duty cycle is 100% when the speed is 90%. For example, in the processing technology, the cutting speed is 10m/min and the duty cycle is 100%; When the cutting speed is 2-3m/min, the duty cycle is 60%; When the cutting speed is 9-10 m/min, the duty cycle is 100%. The software's default power curve can meet most conventional processing needs, so customers can make fine-tuning based on the software's default curve.

5. Common Alarm Solution 5.1 Touchplate Alarm
Scenario 1 Handling Method: Confirm whether the cutting head hits the plate. If the cutting head hits the plate, the software will prompt "plate touch alarm". Just use wireless handheld or software interface operation to lift the cutting head away from the plate, and click < Alarm Release > on the software. If there is a plate touch during cutting, the cutting head will automatically lift up. Click < Alarm Release > on the software-click < Start > button to continue processing, as shown in the figure below.
Scenario 2 handling method: If the cutting head does not touch the plate and click the "alarm release" function to clear the "plate touch alarm" on the software interface, we can clear the alarm by resetting the capacitance value. First, we find the main software interface, click the calibration drop-down box on the CNC interface, Find the capacitance sensor and click to enter. Then find the reset capacitor and click [Reset Capacitor]. According to the prompts, users need to perform automatic calibration again, as shown in the figure below.

When the cutting head is stationary, observe whether the capacitance value of the software production interface changes dynamically and whether the change value is within the normal range. (The normal change of capacitance value is within 100. If it exceeds the normal value, it needs to be checked in the following way). ②. Check whether the cutting head nozzle is loose. ③. Check whether the connection between the amplifier and the TTW cable is loose or whether there is dust at the V1.0

cable interface, resulting in poor contact, etc. It is necessary to blow air to remove the dust. ④. If there is still an alarm in the above treatment method, users can contact the personnel of the machine tool manufacturer to deal with it.
5.3 Communication network failure
Treatment method: 1. Through the hardware information in the diagnostic tool, check which slave station communication is interrupted, and then check whether the corresponding slave station hardware has an alarm, or whether the communication interrupted hardware network cable or control line is loose. We see that there is a column displayed on the hardware communication interface. When "op" is displayed, the communication is normal. If "op" is not displayed, the communication abnormal needs to check the hardware communication, such as whether the servo has an alarm and whether the network cable is loose. If the driver has an alarm, the servo needs to be powered off and restarted once. Then hold it wirelessly or click "Clear Alarm" on the software interface. 2. If the slave station shows that the communication of EDS3000 module is interrupted, users need to exit the system and check Restart Kernel before re-entering the software, as shown in the figure below.

5.4 Network communication failure/network communication interruption
The system has been automatically disenabled, and the reset operation processing method must be executed: 1. This alarm is an abnormal communication alarm. It is necessary to check whether the network cable or servo control cable is loose, or whether the servo power supply is turned on. 2. Exit the system (users need to check Restart Kernel) and then restart the system.
5.5 Capacitance sensor disconnected/TRA disconnected or lower end falling off Treatment method: 1. Check the TTW wire connection between the amplifier and the lower end for falling off or poor contact. 2. Check whether the sensor cable is securely connected to the laser head plug part. 3. Check the nozzle for impact and the ceramic ring for chipping. 4. Reset the capacitor to see if the alarm can be cleared-if it cannot be cleared, please contact the manufacturer.
5.6
Follow-up jitter/follow-up overshoot phenomenon
Treatment method: 1. Check whether servo parameters, rigidity and inertia ratio are too low to cause follow-up overshoot. 2. Check whether the value of the servo self-tuning is within the required range. 3. Check whether the capacitance value jumps too much after upper enabling, causing it to follow up to the tube surface and then jitter back.
5.7 The capacitance value fluctuates greatly
Treatment method:
1. Whether the machine tool has a grounding wire, and whether the ground pile of the grounding wire is standard specification. 2. Whether the strong and weak current of the machine tool are separated, and whether the driver power supply passes through the filter. 3. Is the solenoid valve connected to the diode according to the regulations. 4. Servo brake controlled by relay, whether the power supply of brake is single power supply.

Is there any abnormal noise or the machine is stuck? 4. For drivers above 1kw, the speed is set very high. If the driver overload or overcurrent suddenly occurs, the driver will alarm, and the software will also prompt the alarm of following error. Then check that the driver does not have a braking resistor. For drivers above 1kw, it is best to add a braking resistor of about 300w50 ohms.

2.5 Connection of Cooling Water and Assist Gas 2.5.1 Connection of Cutting Gas
The impurity in cutting gas such as hydrocarbon and steam will damage the lens and cause cutting power fluctuation as well as inconsistencies between the sections of the work piece. The table below is the recommended cutting gas specification. The higher the purity of the gas, the better the quality of the cutting section. Impurity can be filtered out in gas supply tube, but Oxygen and water vapor can permeate light path through nonmetal materials, which is the source of the appearance of dust and hydrocarbon. Stainless steel fittings are recommended, at the same time must use filters which can remove a minimum of 0.01 micron particle to purify. A pressure gauge with a stainless steel diaphragm is recommended. Industrial pressure gauges suck in air. Rubber diaphragm produce hydrocarbon by aging or other factors.

4 Beam Alignment Cutting quality in a great extent depends on whether the lens is in the middle. If the lens is not in the middle, the laser beam may contact with nozzle or inner wall to produce high temperature deformation. Lens alignment operation should be considered when nozzle is replaced or the cutting quality declines. Lens alignment of laser cutting head can be finished by adjusting focus lens, X-Y direction. The X/Y adjusting knob is located above bottom cover glass as shown below. Adjusting the 2 knobs until the beam is located in the middle of nozzle. Make sure the laser beam output from the center of nozzle. A method commonly used is tape dotting method as below: ▪
Fix the cutting head with a big size nozzle (tip size shall be larger than beam size) or adjust to nearly zero focus.
▪
Pick a scotch tape, flatten it and stick it to the nozzle tip.
▪
Open the red light of the laser. Find and observe the position of red light in the scotch tape.
▪
Shoot laser at low power to check beam penetration size. Beam penetration shall be circle and located in the nozzle tip center.
▪
Adjust the 2 X/Y adjusting knobs to get beam aligned. The max X/Y adjusting range is roughly from -1.5mm to +1.5mm.
▪
Tear off the tape and check the shooting hole position in tape.
▪
Repeat the above steps to find out relatively centered position.

The collimating lenses and focusing lenses are recommended to be cleaned once every 2~3 months. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the cover glass, the cover glass holder adopts a drawer type structure. Tools: Dust-proof gloves or fingertip, polyester swab, absolute ethanol, rubber gas blow (purely compressed air). Cleaning instruction: ▪
To put fingertip onto left thumb and index finger.
▪
Spray absolute ethanol onto the polyester swab.
▪
Hold the edge of the lens with left thumb and index finger gently. (note: avoid touching the surface of the lens by fingertip in case of trace)
▪
Hold the lens to face eyes by left hand and hold the polyester swab by right hand. Wipe the lens gently in single direction, from bottom to top or from left to right (Should not wipe back and forth in case of secondary pollution to lens) and use rubber blow (purely compressed air) to blow the surface of the lens. Both surfaces should be cleaned. After cleaning, make sure that there is no residual like detergent, floating ash, foreign matters and impurities.

Stainless steel fittings are recommended, at the same time must use filters which can remove a minimum of 0.01 micron particle to purify. A pressure gauge with a stainless steel diaphragm is recommended. Industrial pressure gauges suck in air. Rubber diaphragm produce hydrocarbon by aging or other factors.

4 Beam Alignment and Zero Focus Correction 4.1 Beam Alignment Cutting quality in a great extent depends on whether the lens is in the middle. If the lens is not in the middle, the laser beam may contact with nozzle or inner wall to produce high temperature deformation. Lens alignment operation should be considered when nozzle is replaced or the cutting quality declines. Lens alignment of laser cutting head can be finished by adjusting focus lens, X-Y direction. The X/Y adjusting knob is located above bottom cover glass as shown below. Adjusting the 2 knobs until the beam is located in the middle of nozzle. Make sure the laser beam output from the center of nozzle. A method commonly used is tape dotting method as below: ▪
Fix the cutting head with a big size nozzle (tip size shall be larger than beam size) or adjust to nearly zero focus.
▪
Pick a scotch tape, flatten it and stick it to the nozzle tip.
▪
Open the red light of the laser. Find and observe the position of red light in the scotch tape.
▪
Shoot laser at low power to check beam penetration size. Beam penetration shall be circle and located in the nozzle tip center.
▪
Adjust the 2 X/Y adjusting knobs to get beam aligned. The max X/Y adjusting range is roughly from -1.5mm to +1.5mm.
▪
Tear off the tape and check the shooting hole position in tape.
▪
Repeat the above steps to find out relatively centered position.

5 Maintenance 5.1 Cleaning Lens It’s necessary to maintain lenses regularly because of the characteristic of laser cutting process. Cleaning to the cover glass once a week is recommended. The collimating lenses and focusing lenses are recommended to be cleaned once every 2~3 months. In order to facilitate the maintenance of the cover glass, the cover glass holder adopts a drawer type structure. Tools: Dust-proof gloves or fingertip, polyester swab, absolute ethanol, rubber gas blow (purely compressed air). Cleaning instruction: ▪
To put fingertip onto left thumb and index finger.
▪
Spray absolute ethanol onto the polyester swab.
▪
Hold the edge of the lens with left thumb and index finger gently. (note: avoid touching the surface of the lens by fingertip in case of trace)
▪
Hold the lens to face eyes by left hand and hold the polyester swab by right hand. Wipe the lens gently in single direction, from bottom to top or from left to right (Should not wipe back and forth in case of secondary pollution to lens) and use rubber blow (purely compressed air) to blow the surface of the lens. Both surfaces should be cleaned. After cleaning, make sure that there is no residual like detergent, floating ash, foreign matters and impurities.
