To help clients understand how a Laser Machine works, we made an installation video which covers what you need to know to get a Laser Machine set up. Watch the below very detailed step-by-step guide for free on YouTube: https://youtu.be/A1X0NtGQiZw
The video shows how to set up a contour-cutting laser machine. To start off, take note of what the machine comes with. You get an air pump, exhaust fan, chiller, pack of wheels and a stand to keep the machine robust, as well as a laser tube.
The first step is to grab the goodie bag which contains important parts needed. These components are need to be installed. Watch below to learn more about this step:
Then it is time to install the exhaust fan, which is done by connecting the hose to the motor of the extraction fan. Then the outlet of the hose is connected to the outlet of the extraction fan.
Next, we will be installing the air pump. The mouthpiece of the air pump must be connected, and then the pipe must be connected to the machine. The pump is then plugged in and fitted to the machine.
Then we set up the laser tube, and it is carefully placed and mounted inside the machine using allen keys to secure it in place. Then the water pipe is attached to the tube.
The last step is to install the laser tube power supply. AM.CO.ZA stocks different-sized power supplies for different-sized tubes. The wiring needs to be done, following the colours of the wires. Once all the wiring is connected, the power supply is mounted inside the machine.
The final stage is to connect the negative wire of the power supply to the negative wire of the laser tube and join the wires together. Don’t forget to insulate the wires.
Now we are ready to pour distilled water into the water chiller. For a new installation, the chiller is tested at our factory, so there may be some leftover water, which needs to be drained first. The chiller can then be filled up with about 8 litres of water. You should fill about 5 litres and then turn on the chiller. Then top up the machine.
Now we are ready to turn on the machine. The controls on the machine let you easily start the machine, and after this, the chiller unit is turned on. The water level needs to then be checked to ensure that the right amount of water is in the chiller. The chiller requires a water change monthly if you don’t use the machine often or every 3 months if the machine is used a lot.
Now the machine is fully installed and now it is time to align the laser before use. The mirrors can be adjusted using the knobs at the side to adjust the beam.
