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.

2.7 Power Curve The laser energy output curve can be enabled by selecting the corresponding checkboxes: There are two power-speed curves: duty cycle and frequency. Users can select and enable any combination. It is recommended to enable only the duty cycle curve, as the effect is more noticeable and easier to adjust.

Click the "Curve Edit" button to enter the curve editing interface for editing:

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

This software uses a spline curve fitting method for power control curves, with speed on the horizontal axis and laser output on the vertical axis, providing high smoothness. Users can select from three curve editing interfaces on the top tab. Taking the above image as an example: when the speed is 0%, the duty cycle is 50%; when the speed is 20%~30%, the duty cycle is 60%; when the speed is 60%, the duty cycle is 90%; and when the speed is 90%, the duty cycle is 100%. For example, in a machining process, the duty cycle is 100% when the cutting speed is 10m/min; 60% when the cutting speed is 2~3m/min; and 100% when the cutting speed is 9~10m/min. The software's default power curves can meet most common machining needs, so customers can make minor adjustments based on the default curves.

III. Control Panel This chapter mainly introduces the machining control module, located on the right side of the main interface, which mainly includes functions such as coordinate system, manual control, and automatic control.

3.1 Coordinate System All movements during machining are relative to the cutting head and the workpiece. The workpiece zero point

is displayed as a crosshair in the drawing interface. The correspondence

between the machine tool coordinate system and the graphic coordinate system is shown in the following figure:

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

Clicking the "Preview" button on the console will display the positional relationship between the graphic and the machine tool sheet on the screen.

The coordinate system used is a right-handed Cartesian coordinate system. As shown in the figure, the direction of the thumb is the positive direction of the X-axis, the index finger is the positive direction of the Y-axis, and the middle finger is the positive direction of the Z-axis. Based on the Z, Y, and Z coordinates, the directions of the three rotating coordinates A, B, and C can be easily determined according to the right-hand screw rule.

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual 3.1.1 Machine Coordinate System The machine tool coordinate system is uniquely determined by the machine tool structure and parameters. The coordinate system can be established by clicking "Return to Origin". When installing the machine for the first time or when the machine coordinate system deviates due to abnormal reasons, you can click the "Return to Origin" button under the "CNC" tab to re-establish the machine coordinate system.

3.1.2 Program Coordinate System Since the workpiece placement may change, a workpiece coordinate system is needed for ease of use. All program coordinate systems in the software have axes that are completely consistent with the machine tool coordinate system, differing only in their zero points, called the "program zero point." The program coordinate system is divided into a floating coordinate system and a workpiece coordinate system.

The button at the top of the console is used to select the program coordinate system, which can be either "floating coordinate system" or one of the nine "workpiece coordinate systems". A floating coordinate system is generally used for informal processing, where processing can be considered to begin wherever the laser head moves. Its coordinate system zero point is automatically set to the laser head's current position when the user clicks "Follow Border," "Walk Without Moving," or "Process." See below:

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

When selecting workpiece coordinate systems 1-9, the workpiece zero point is manually set by the user through "Set Marker Point." Once set, the point is permanently saved until the next time it needs to be set. Therefore, workpiece coordinate systems are suitable for batch production, and their position is generally determined by the fixed fixture. Using workpiece coordinate systems 1-9 ensures that each machining operation is performed in the same position on the machine tool. Click the "

" in the bottom status bar.

You can choose to display mechanical or program coordinates, and you can also set the zero point of both coordinate systems here. Selecting "Current point as program zero point" will position the cutting head at the specified coordinate position.

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual 3.1.3 Manual Control

Clicking the "Mark Coordinates" button will overwrite the current cutting head position with this marker point.

Click the "Return to Marker Point" button, and the cutting head will move to the coordinates of the marker point.

There are 11 machine tool marker positions in total. Select the corresponding marker point from the drop-down menu.

When the laser shutter pin is connected to the system, click the "Shutter" button to control the laser shutter switch.

When the laser's red light pin is connected to the system, click the "Red Light" button to control the laser's red light switch.

as shown in the figure below:

1) Cutting speed: The maximum speed limit for inching cutting. When the process speed is greater than this speed, it will move at this speed. 2) Cutting step: The sensitivity of the detection when judging the edge of the board. The larger the value, the less sensitive it is and the greater the overshoot distance of the Z-axis; the smaller the value, the more sensitive it is and the greater the probability of mistakenly detecting the undulation of the board as the boundary of the board.

To ensure smooth operation, select the motion axis requiring break-in, and set the corresponding starting position and stroke. These settings depend on the machine tool. After setting the distance, you need to set the overall feed rate and the number of break-in cycles, adjusting these values according to actual needs. h、Self-tuning: XYU U2 Z self-tuning. The prerequisite for self-tuning is that the axes to be tuned have all returned to the zero point XYU U2 and can move forward. The servo motion is 30mm. The Z-axis must return to zero and be successfully calibrated before self-tuning can be performed. The significance of self-tuning is that the software can make internal adjustments based on the servo feedback delay calibrated. For example, when the follow-up is unstable, or when the hole cut by the flying cutter is not closed, or when the opening is too early or too late, the self-tuning function can be used for adjustment. 121

2.3 Return to origin After opening the software and entering the software, click the "Return to Origin" button under the CNC interface. You can choose the zeroing method, either single-axis zeroing or setting all axes to return to the origin in the zeroing settings, synchronous return of rotary axes to the origin, support lifting after returning to the origin, zero-point offset when using absolute mode for the U-axis, etc.

Note: Clicking the arrow indicator below Return to Origin will show the Return to Origin settings. Clicking Return to Origin settings will bring up a pop-up window where you can select the desired return to zero method from the options provided. 122

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual Synchronous return of the rotary axis to its original position. During the return process, the system can be optimized to accelerate the process, such as by lowering all supports before the Y-axis return point and raising the supports after the Y-axis return. Users can select the desired method as needed. When U U2 needs to maintain a horizontal center position after returning to its origin, if U U2 is in absolute mode, the absolute value zero offset of U U2 can be set in the origin setting to keep it at zero. If incremental zeroing is used, the backtracking distance after zeroing needs to be entered in the configuration tool to maintain a horizontal position after centering. After selecting the options, click the "Return to Origin" button. A pop-up window will appear showing the return-to-origin type and order. Before clicking "Start Return to Origin," ensure that the limit/origin sensors are functioning correctly, as shown in the image below.

2.4 Exercise Settings

1. Pre-processing edge alignment: Initially, the Y-axis will move an equal distance based on the set chuck-to-cutting-head distance. The cutting head then descends to locate the pipe edge, followed by a retraction based on the set parameters, and finally a flat cut on the pipe edge. Alternatively, a fixed-height mode can be selected for edge alignment and flat cutting. 2. Rotary axis centering based on nearest distance: When checked, the rotary axis will calculate the nearest distance for centering. 3. Releasing the main card after resetting to zero: The main card opens after resetting to zero. 4. Manual centering bracket opening: When this function is activated, the support cylinder or shaft will automatically rise after manual centering.

124

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual 5. Release the main card after cutting: The main card opens after cutting. 6. Release the middle clip after cutting: The middle clip opens after cutting. 7. Enable High/Low Face Recognition: When cutting rectangular tubes, the system generally determines that the wider face should be on top during cutting. If the narrower face is clamped on top during cutting, the system will automatically perform two checks to determine the width and narrowness of the face and finally adjust the system so that the wider face is on top. 8. Automatic program execution supports floating opening: After opening, when cutting rectangular tubes, the support axis will automatically float to provide support. 9. Activate floating support for parts: When activated, the feed shaft will automatically float and provide support when cutting long parts. 10. Enable Automatic Feeding: When enabled, the feeding action will be executed during process editing. 11. Enable Automatic Feeding: When the program starts, the material rack actions edited in the process editor will be executed automatically. 12. Move to the specified position after program ends: After the cutting program ends, the YU axis can return to the set specified position and angle. 13. If interference occurs between the front and rear clamps during the retraction of the rear clamp after cutting, the rear clamp will tighten. 14. Activate floating flip: The cylinder automatically flips after the cutting of the parts is completed. 15. Automatic dust extraction control before part cutting: Selecting this function will automatically initiate dust extraction when cutting begins. 125

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual 16. Weld Seam Recognition: Identifies the location of weld seams on pipes; options include sensor recognition or camera imaging . 17. Machining is permitted if the drawing exceeds the machinable length of the pipe: Soft limit detection is performed on a part-by-part basis. When soft limit protection is enabled, even if the drawing exceeds the Y-axis travel, it will not report "out of travel range," but will allow machining of parts within the travel range to begin. Parts that partially or completely exceed the Y-axis travel will not be machined. 18. Allow support cylinder to rise automatically: When the current position of the Y-axis is less than the set rising coordinate, the support will rise automatically (the coordinate at which the support rises automatically is less than the Y-axis coordinate ➖ avoidance distance). 19. Enable Floating Feed Support: When enabled, if the feed support is a shaft, it will float up and down following the height of the pipe.

127

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual 2.5.2 Rectangularity Test

Usage: After opening the error detection, there are two tests: rectangle measurement and roundness measurement. Set the diameter of the circle/length and width of the rectangle as needed, then click "Start." You can choose to perform empty line machining or actual machining. After the motion is complete, the system will draw the encoder feedback position on the software. You can use the measurement function to view the roundness error, which can be used as a basis for servo adjustment. If the actual feedback trajectory matches the drawn trajectory but the cut circle is not round, the mechanics need adjustment. This may be due to mechanical clearance or wear and tear on the gears and racks over time.

2.6 Machine Tool Setup 2.6.1 Finding the center Centering: Calculate the deviation between the center of the pipe section and the center of the machine to perform compensation. Centering types: Single-sided centering, Two-point centering, Four-point centering, Four-sided centering, Leveling + Four-point centering Centering compensation values: The centering compensation value for pipe center deviation X is applied to the 0-degree and 180-degree planes, and the centering compensation value for pipe center deviation Z is applied to the 90-degree and 270-degree planes. Operating steps: After the material layout results to be cut are imported from the top left corner, click the small arrow below the machine tool settings, select the desired centering method, and then click "Start" in the pop-up window to perform centering (the prerequisite for centering is that zeroing has been performed, the horizontal beam has been leveled and the center has been aligned, and there is a pipe below. Also check if the dimensions are correct. If there are no problems as mentioned above, then centering can be performed).

129

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

hint: 1. Before centering, make sure all axes have returned to the origin. 2. XU has been returned to center and the crossbeam center and level have been checked. 3. Ensure there is pipe material below the cutting head, and that the pipe dimensions are correct. 4. Current centering methods: There are five types in total. Different pipe materials correspond to different centering methods. For example, round pipes can only use two-point centering, square pipes can support all five types mentioned above, and angle iron currently only supports single-sided two-point centering. The centering method must be selected correctly, otherwise the laser head will be bumped. 5. Application Scenarios for Center Finding: When the actual dimensions of the pipe differ significantly from the drawn dimensions, or when non-standard pipe radius/surface dimensions 130

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual cause the actual position of the cut hole to deviate from the ideal position and fall outside the center, center finding is required for compensation.

2.6.2 Pipe surface correction If the actual dimensions of the pipe are measured and the distance between the left and right sides of the cut part hole is stable, the pipe can be used to correct the manual compensation deviation. If the distance between the left and right sides of the cut part hole is unstable, the mechanical level needs to be adjusted.

2.6.3 Automatic Centering Configuration Centering Method: Different centering methods are set according to different pipes. If the centering method in the automatic centering configuration is not selected, the separately added centering contour compensation value will not take effect. When using pipe surface contour

Click start to begin the cutting action.

2.6.5 Machine Tool Debugging Correction: A: School Level To correct the levelness of the zero-degree plane of the clamped pipe, it is recommended to use a standard pipe for correction, and the correction surface must be flat. Before correction, ensure that the system's X, Z, and U2 axes have returned to the origin. You can manually adjust U2 to a horizontal position temporarily, and manually move X to the center of the pipe. Then, click to obtain the horizontal angle and center coordinate X. After that, import the standard pipe layout 133

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual result drawn in TubeKit. It is recommended to use (40×40) rectangular pipes without R-angles for leveling the crossbeam.

B: Center of the school beam Once the mechanical structure is fixed, the U2 axis rotation will have a fixed center of rotation. The center of the crossbeam is the coordinate (X) of this center of rotation in the X-plane. Determining the center of the U2 axis requires a standard rectangular tube (40×40mm) without chamfers. Before calibrating the crossbeam, ensure the system's X, Y, and Z coordinates are 134

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual correct, the U2 axis has returned to its origin, and is leveled, and the calibration surface is a plane. Then, manually move the X-axis above the standard tube and visually locate its center position. Click to obtain the X-center coordinates. After that, import the standard tube layout results drawn using TubeKit and click "Start" to calibrate the crossbeam center.

Avoidance or x-axis movement can only be performed if the coordinates are 0 or greater than that value (which cannot be greater than the relative avoidance distance).

Avoidance instructions: After the front clamp avoids the cutting edge, the shortest length for the rear clamp to hold and cut between the front and rear clamps is: distance from the avoidance 145

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual position to the cutting head + relative avoidance distance - distance from the front clamp to the cutting head. Because the position of the front clamp on the U2 axis is fixed, the distance from the clearance position to the cutting head and the distance from the front clamp to the cutting head determine the shortest pipe length of the part to be clamped and cut by the two clamps. Please see the diagram below for details:

Usage Tips: First, the support method used is an axle, not a cylinder. If a cylinder is used, these parameters are unnecessary. Configure the support axis using the configuration tool. After setting the avoidance parameters, you can open the software and find the support configuration settings in the machine tool settings. First, clamp a standard pipe. Then, jog the support axis upwards (make sure the axis movement direction is correct) until the support axis is close to the pipe but not pushing it up. Then click "calibrate." Set support 1, 2, 3, etc. in this way, and then click "save." When you need to support floating and following the pipe, please refer to the motion settings explanation on page 5. 152

III. Mode Function Description 3.1 Step Step button: When this button is checked, the manual motion axis will move in inch mode, meaning that each axis movement will travel a fixed distance. The step distance is entered in the step box. Note that the maximum inch distance for the XY axis is different from that for the Z axis. The step unit for the U/U2 axes is degrees.

After clicking to enter the step distance input interface, you will see options for high-speed and low-speed jogging, and the step distance setting. Note that the maximum step distance for the XY axis is different from that for the Z axis; enter the value according to your actual needs. The step unit for U2 is degrees (high-speed and low-speed jogging are equivalent to slow and fast 159

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual manual jogging motion, respectively). Both low-speed and high-speed jogging are limited by the idle speed. The jogging speed distance of the extended axis affects the jogging motion of all configured auxiliary axes.

The new stepper button: After checking this button, clicking the Jog Quick Settings button will bring up the Jog Quick Settings pop-up window. Here you can enter the stepper distance for each axis. Note that the maximum inch distance for X and Y axes is different from that for the Z axis; the stepper unit for U/U2 axes is degrees. You can also enter the low and high speeds (i.e., manual slow and manual fast) for each axis. Both low and high speeds are limited by the idle speed. The distance length in the axis stepper distance configuration box only applies to the configured axes in the auxiliary axes.

V. Common Alarm Handling Methods 5.1 Collision alarm Scenario 1 Handling Method: Confirm whether the cutting head is hitting the plate. If the cutting head hits the plate, the software will issue a "plate hit alarm". Simply use the wireless handheld device or the software interface to lift the cutting head away from the plate. Then, click "Alarm Cancel" in the software. 184

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual If a plate hit occurs during the cutting process, the cutting head will automatically lift up. Click "Alarm Cancel" in the software and then click the "Start" button to continue processing, as shown in the figure below.

Scenario 2 Handling Method: If the "Alarm Clear" function cannot clear the "Alarm Collision" on the software interface even though the cutting head has not collided with the plate, we can clear the alarm by resetting the capacitance value. First, 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 capacitance and click "Reset Capacitor". According to the prompt, you need to perform automatic calibration again, as shown in the figure below.

185

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

186

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

5.2 Sensor not connected, data cable broken alarm Solution: ①. When the cutting head is stationary, observe whether the capacitance value on the software's production interface changes dynamically and whether the change is within the normal range. (The normal capacitance value change is within 100. If it exceeds the normal value, troubleshooting should be performed as follows.) ②. Check if the cutting head nozzle is loose. ③. Check if the connection between the amplifier and the TTW cable is loose or if there is dust at the cable interface causing poor contact. If necessary, blow air to remove the dust. ④. If the alarm persists even after trying the above methods, please contact the machine tool manufacturer for assistance.

5.3 Communication network failure Solution: 1. Use the hardware information in the diagnostic tool to check which slave station communication is interrupted. Then check if the corresponding slave station hardware has any alarms, or check if the network cable or control line of the communication interrupted hardware is loose. In the hardware communication interface, we can see an "op status" column. When "op" is displayed, the communication is normal. If "op" is not displayed, the communication is abnormal and the hardware communication needs to be checked, such as whether the servo has any alarms, and whether the network cable is loose. If the driver has an alarm, the servo needs to be powered off and restarted once. After that, you can clear the alarm by clicking "clear alarm" in the wireless handheld device or software interface. 2. If the slave station displays an EDS3000 module communication interruption, you need to exit the system, check the option to restart the kernel, and then re-enter the software to try to resolve the issue, as shown in the image below.

187

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

5.4 Network communication failure/network communication interruption The system has automatically disabled the enable function; a reset operation must be performed. Solution: 1. This alarm indicates a communication failure. Please check if the network cable or servo control cable is loose, or check if the servo power is on. 2. Exit the system (you need to check the option to restart the kernel) and then restart the system.

5.5 Capacitive sensor is offline/TRA wire is broken or lower end is detached Solution: 1. Check if the amplifier and the TTW line at the bottom are disconnected or have poor contact. 2. Check if the sensor cable and laser head connector are securely connected. 3. Check if the nozzle has been impacted and if the ceramic ring is broken. 3. Reset the capacitor to see if the alarm is cleared. If it is not cleared, please contact the manufacturer. 188

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual

5.6 Follow-up jitter/follow-up overshoot phenomenon Solution: 1. Check the servo parameters: is the stiffness and inertia ratio too low, causing servo overshoot? 2. Check if the values obtained from servo self-tuning are within the required range. 3. Check if the capacitor value fluctuates too much after enabling, causing it to bounce back and forth after moving to the tube surface.

5.7 Large fluctuations in capacitance value Solution: 1. Does the machine tool have a grounding wire? Are the grounding wire stakes standard and compliant? 2. Are the high-voltage and low-voltage circuits of the machine tool separated? Is the power supply of the driver filtered? 3. Is the diode connected to the solenoid valve as specified? 4. For relay-controlled servo brakes, is the brake power supply a separate power source?

5.8 Motion axis alarm tracking error Solution: 1. Confirm that the pitch and pulse settings are correct. 189

XC3000 T2.0 Series Laser Cutting System User Manual 2. Is the servo parameter setting a pulse + direction positive logic? 3. Check for any unusual noises or mechanical jamming when the enable is off.

4. For drives above 1kW with very high speed settings, if a sudden overload or overcurrent occurs, causing an alarm and a software alarm indicating a tracking error, check if a braking resistor is added to the drive. For drives above 1kW, it is best to add a 300W braking resistor of about 50 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.

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.
