1OVERVIEW
In this manual, we have tried as for as possible to address all issues.
However, space restrictions prevent us from describing everything that
must not be done, or which cannot be done, because there are so many
possibilities.
Therefore, all matters which are not specifically described as being
possible should be regarded as being impossible.

1) Potential hazards
Laser oscillator emits CO2laser beam(10.6 m), which is high power
and invisible.
Being directly exposed to the CO2beam could severely burn you.
The CO2beam could bource off your workpiece and burn your eyes
or skin.
FANUC LASER C series have a diode laser. The diode laser beam
is visible (red color) and low power. It is used to ensure that the CO2beam is correctly positioned on your workpiece.
The diode laser beam is not considered harmful to your skin. But
if you stared head on into the laser diode beam, it could harm your
eyes.
2) Safety recommendations
Never expose the eyes and skin to the laser beam. Be careful of the
laser beam when performing the inspection and maintenance.
Do not turn on the power supply to the oscillator when the panel open
and do not drive. It is bleached to radiation of the laser beam and high
voltage.
Do the countermeasure (For instance, installs safety glasses and the
protection gloves) to danger in case of stopped no finish and nor
opening the panel while it energizes the oscillator.
Install beam safety cover after mirror cleaning or replacement. And if
not beam safety cover installation, do not operation and alignment.
Confirm when it does alignment, the protection pipe (Safety cover) is
installed. If it dose not install the protection pipe, it will put the fingerin the laser beam and there is possibility to do the burn.
When entering the area exposed to the scattered beam, wear the safety
glasses. Mount the stand made of acrylic resin or any material which
can absorb the CO2 laser beam to protect the personnel from the
scattered beam.
Avoid exposure of any part of your body to the CO2laser beam.
When testing the beam output, any personnel other than the
maintenance personnel should be out of the working environment.
In designing a material processing machine utilizing FANUC LASER
C series, be sure that the CO2 laser beam goes from laser to the
workpiece only through the enclosed beam delivery system. Thisprevents the exposure to laser beam by the operator switch could
otherwise take place. It is absolutely necessary to include the
instructions given here in the manuals of the laser materialprocessing
machine as a whole, which are to be read.

All the laser products have to comply with the various kinds of laser safety
regulations, which include the use of key control. For instance, FDA
PART 1040 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR
LIGHTEMITTING PRODUCTS, Sec 1040. 10 (f), (4) states: Each
laser system classified as a Class IIIb or IV laser product shall incorporate
a keyactuated master control. The key shall be removable and the laser
shall not be operable when the key is removed and EN608251:1994, 4.5
Key control state Any laser system belonging to one of the following
classes shall incorporate a key operation master control: Class 4 and Class
3B, except for Class 3B with not more than five times the AEL of Class
2 in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm. The key shall be
removable and the laser radiation shall not be accessible when the key is
removed.
Because the laser package products offered by FANUC cannot producethe laser beam as they are in the state of shipment, the system integrator
who incorporates FANUC products into the system, which generates the
laser beam, is obliged to incorporate the master key as defined by the
relevant regulation.
The shutter lock is prepared because it dose not put out the laser beam by
mistake. If you do not put out the beam, lock the shutter.
Use the mechanical switch at shutter lock switch, not electrical
component (Relay)or switching circuit (Transistor, FET).
Use the one with the compulsion dissociation mechanism for the switch
used for the shutter lock circuit and the switch for welding prevention.
To designer of laser processing machine
1. Use a mechanical switch for the switch used to lock the
shutter. Do not use an electric switch (For instance,
transistor circuit, etc.). Moreover, use the one with the
contact dissociation mechanism to prevent welding for a
mechanical switch.
2. Put it in the series of the contact of the emergency stopbutton in the shutter lock circuit. When the emergency stop

The flow rate should be chosen so that the temperature difference between
the inlet and outlet of the chiller becomes less than 3C. The customer can
refer to the following table.
Type Flow rate
C1500B 50 liter/min
C2000B, C2000C 75 liter/min
C3000C, C3000D 120 liter/min
C4000A 160 liter/min
C6000B 250 liter/min
The cooling water from chiller is temperatureregulated.
Choose the tubing material which can withstand corrosion, which will
choke the water flow.
Make the hose length between the laser and chiller as short as possible.
Along hose makes the pressure 1oss high and becomes a burden to the
chiller pump.
Place a strainer at the water inlet of laser. It will prevent the f1owing
in of the dust into the laser.
Place flow meters both at the inlet and outlet of the laser. Dailychecking of the water f1ow contributes to the prevention of abrupt stop
of laser operation.

Use the gas bottle of the volume of 7m3. Store the necessary number of
bottles according to the operation of the laser.
Drawing of last chapter 1 shown laser gas connection of inlet and outlet.
Inlet and outlet fittings on laser are female PT 3/8.
(1)Gas inlet of oscillator
Use the tube designated. (FANUC recommends the use of AS1
tube manufactured by Jyunkosha.)
Do not use a tube possessing high permeability to He. (In the worst
case, the laser will be damaged by improper gas composition.)
Use the gas of the correct composition.(2)Gas outlet of oscillator
The oil mist and the dissociated gas come out from the exit of the gas.
Tie the piping of 3/8 inches or more to the gas exit and put it out to
outdoor. It will load the exhaust pump when thin piping or extremely
1ong and the exhaust ability decreases occasionally.
Observe the following cautions for piping between the laser gas cylinder
and laser oscillator.
Use nylon tube having an inside diameter of 8 mm or larger (Junlon
AS1 manufactured by Junkousha, or equivalent). Do not use a rubber
or urethane tube.
Use a swagelock vacuum joint (Fujikins product or equivalent). Do
not use a onetouch coupler, quick coupler, or hoseband joint.
Minimize the length of tubing. It should be kept within 5 m. Never
exceed 15 m. For a length of 15 m or greater, use stainless pipe.
If it is necessary to use metal pipe for lack of an alternative, use
stainless bright annealed pipe. Minimize the number of joints used.
Connect pipes, if necessary, using a swagelock vacuum joint or by
TIG welding. Do NOT use silver soldering or copper piping. Piping
should be installed by a vacuum piping specialist. Do not extend metal
piping over 30 m.
Always keep the piping materials clean. Do not allow foreign matter
to get in the pipe.
Use a pressure reducer that is free from gas leakage.
After installing the pipe, check it for gas leakage, using a liquid leak
checker (Gyupoflex: A98L00010856, detecting bubbles caused by
leaking gas) or a clamp test1).
Note1. Open the valve of the gas cylinder to pressurize the inside
of the pipe, then close the valve. Check to see if thepressure in the pipe becomes low with time. Monitor theprimary pressure of the gas reducer for over 8 hours. If thegas pressure becomes lower by 10% within 8 hours, gas islikely to be leaking Take an appropriate measure

The beam divergence for FANUC LASER C series is less than 2 mrad.
The tolerance of beam direction is 0.3 degrees. The customer is
requested to prepare adjusting mechanism on the machine side to
compensate for the beam direction error.
The laser had better be isolated mechanically from the machine for
preventing the coupling between them. The vibration might enter the
opponent from each side. It is, however, absolutely necessary to provide
the beam guide between them so that the operator is protected from the
exposure to the laser beam all the time. The structure of the beam guide
must permit the mechanical decoupling required as shown in the figure.

Fig. 4.1.1 (a) to (g) show the internal structure of the laser oscillator.
The FANUC LASER C series consists of a laser resonator, laser excitation
power supply, forced gas circulating system, pressure controller, exhaust
controller, CNC interface, and a protective housing.
The laser resonator consists of several discharge tubes, connected in series
using folding mirrors, with a rear mirror and output mirror placed at the
open ends of the discharge tubes, thus sealing the tubes. The resonator
is fitted with a gas pipe connecting port through which laser gas is fed into
the discharge tubes.
A discharge from the electrodes of the discharge tube energizes CO2molecules, which emit light. This light is amplified by stimulated
emission, repeated between the rear mirror and output mirror, a laser beam
being emitted from the output mirror.
This is a 2MHz highfrequency power supply, the output of which is
controlled by the CNC. This power supply is used to create a discharge
in the laser gas flowing through the discharge tubes, thus energizing CO2molecules.
A gas circulating system is configured by connecting the resonator andturbo blower with a circulating pipe. Laser gas is forced through the
discharge tubes at a speed of 200 m/s or higher.
A watercooled heat exchanger, used to cool the hightemperature gas
from the discharge tubes, is provided at the inlet side of the turbo blower.
At the outlet side of the turbo blower, another watercooled heat
exchanger dissipates the compression heat.
The laser gas pressure within the forced gas circulating system is
controlled by commands issued from the CNC, thus ensuring stable laser
output.
The laser gas flow is controlled by commands issued from the CNC.
Interface used to connect a FANUC Series 0L or 16L. 16iL CNC
commands that, control the operation of the laser oscillator, such as
start/stop and laser output, are input via this interface.
An enclosure that houses the above components. The housing, consisting
of metal panels and doors, completely encloses the laser oscillator, thus
protecting the operator from exposure to laser radiation and from high
voltages. All panels are screwfixed and cannot be removed without an
appropriate tool. The doors are also designed to prevent an accident fromoccurring as a result of careless operation. The doors can be opened only

The following describes the details of each component of the FANUC
LASER C series. Fig. 4.2 (a) to (l) show the internal structure.
(1) ResonatorThe resonator consists of an output mirror, rear mirror, folding
mirrors, discharge tubes, power sensor unit, etc. It converts electrical
energy first to laser gas, then to optical energy (10.6m
singlewavelength laser beam).
(2) Output mirror
A transmitting/reflecting mirror which outputs the laser beam after
it has been amplified. The output mirror consists of a ZnSe (zinc
selenide) substrate, coated with dielectric. ZnSe is tightly toxic. Be
particularly careful, therefore, when handling the output mirror.
(3) Rear mirror
A reflecting mirror consisting of a Ge (germanium) substrate, coated
with dielectric. Having a high reflectance of 99.5%, the rear mirror
is used to reflect the laser beam within the resonator while
transmitting 0.5% of the laser light so that the beam can be monitored
externally.
(4) Folding mirror
The folding mirror, consisting of a 45block and a goldcoated Si
(silicon) substrate, is used to divert the laser beam through 90. It
also linearly polarizes the laser beam.
(5) Discharge tube
A pair of Ag (silver) electrodes are metallized on the surface of ahollow quartz glass pipe. A highfrequency discharge between these
electrodes injects electrical energy into the laser gas. Each electrode
is coated with ceramic, preventing it from degrading and thus
improving system reliability.
(6) Power sensor
An optical sensor which detects the intensity of the laser beam,
transmitted through the rear mirror, thus enabling monitoring of the
laser output level.
(7) Gas circulating system
A gas circulating path including a turbo blower, heat exchangers, and
circulating pipes, which supplies and exhausts laser gas to and fromthe discharge tubes at high speed.
(8) Turbo blower
During laser oscillation, the laser gas pressure is 100 to 700 (1330 to
9310 Pa) when DGN. The turbo blower circulates this
roughvacuum gas at high speed (up to 200 m/s within the discharge
tubes) without contaminating the gas.
(9) Heat exchanger (inlet)
Heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated by
discharge, before it is drawn into the turbo blower.
(10) Heat exchanger (outlet)Heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated by
compression in the turbo blower before being forced into the

B70114EN/044. FUNCTIONS
(11) Pressure controller
This unit constantly monitors the gas pressure in the discharge tubes
and supplies fresh laser gas to the gas circulating system, thus
maintaining a constant pressure in the discharge tubes. This unit also
monitors the laser gas supply state and the purging state in the gas
circulating system.
(12) Exhaust pump unit
This unit is used to vacuumexhaust laser gas from the gas
circulating system such that its pressure falls to that used for laser
oscillation. Also, within this unit, a small amount of circulating gas
is constantly being exchanged, to prevent degradation of the
circulating gas.
(13) Exhaust controller
The exhaust controller controls the flow rate of the laser gasexhausted by the exhaust pump unit. It adjusts the gas flow rate from
that used for gas exchange to that used for pressure control. In the
event of a power failure, the exhaust controller immediately returns
the exhaust pump unit to atmospheric pressure, thus protecting the
pump.
(14) Exhaust system filter
The exhaust system filter is used to remove oil mist from the exhaust
pump to prevent contamination of the gas circulating system and
optical parts. The C1500B, C2000B, C2000C, C3000C, C3000D,
and C4000A do not have this filter.
(15)Hour meter
The hour meter indicates the total number of hours that the laser
oscillator has operated (how many hours the exhaust pump has
operated), to indicate whether maintenance or inspection is
necessary.
(16)Shutter section
The shutter section consists of a shutter, beam absorber, shutter
cooling fan, etc., and is used to prevent output of the laser beam
during laser oscillation. While the shutter is closed, the laser beam
is reflected by the shutter then absorbed by the beam absorber. For
safety, the shutter is fitted with a photoelectric limit switch whichallows the system to monitor whether the shutter is open or closed.
(17)Shutter
The shutter consists of a goldcoated reflecting mirror, mounted on
the rotating arm of a rotary solenoid. The shutter can be opened and
closed instantaneously by issuing a CNC command. For safety, the
shutter is equipped with a temperature sensor which allows the
system to monitor the temperature of the shutter.
(18)Beam absorber
While the laser oscillator is operating with the shutter closed, the
laser beam is guided into the beam absorber. The beam absorber
absorbs nearly 100% of laser beam and is watercooled, allowing itto safely absorb the beam for relatively long periods. For safety, the
beam absorber is equipped with a temperature sensor which allows

(19) Water distribution unit
This unit distributes cooling water, supplied from either a chiller unit
or a temperatureregulated external water supply, to each unit in the
laser oscillator. For safety, the water distribution unit is equipped
with a flow sensor which allows the system to monitor the flow rate
of the
(20) Laser power supply unit
This unit rectifies and smooths the 3phase 200/220V AC input,
then supplies DC power to the RF inverter by controlling the PWM
DCDC converter, as directed by commands received from the CNC.
The RF inverter converts DC power to 3 to 4 kVPOPhighfrequency
(2 MHz) power, then outputs it to the matching box.
(21)Matching box
The matching box contains a matching circuit, consisting of coils andcapacitors, which ensures that power is effectively input to the
discharge tubes. The matching box is connected to the laser power
supply unit via either a highvoltage cable or coaxial cable.
(22)Beam folding unit
This unit reverses the direction of the laser beam in the oscillator.
Two zeroshift mirrors are used to ensure that the polarization of the
light remains constant. The C3000C employs a circular polarization
mirror as upper one, such that a circularly polarized beam is
produced.
(23) Intermediate PCB A
This PCB transmits signals output by the pressure control unit, suchas those from the pressure sensor, pressure control valve, and
pressure switch, to the interface PCB.
(24) Intermediate PCB B
This PCB transmits signals output by the shutter section, such as
those from the limit switch, absorber temperature sensor, power
sensor, and condensation sensor, to the interface PCB.
(25)Input unit
The input unit consists of an interface PCB, stabilized power supply,
and power magnetics cabinet. It transfers signals between the laser
oscillator and CNC, and supply power to each unit.
(26)Interface PCB
FS0L: Transfer analog, digital input (DI), and digital output
(DO) signals to and from the CNC (parallel interface).
Transfers signals to and from the CNC via the FANUC
I/O LINK (serial interface). Because this is a serial
interface, optical fiber cable can be used to enable
longdistance transmission.
(27) Stabilized power supply
This unit converts the 200/220 VAC power source to DC power for
the interface PCB and other units.
(28) Power magnetics cabinetThe power magnetics cabinet distributes power, supplied from an
external unit to each unit in the laser oscillator It also protects each
5/21/2018 70114EN 04 OperatorsManual C Series
116/197
external unit to each unit in the laser oscillator It also protects each
B70114EN/044. FUNCTIONS
(29)Control PCB
This PCB sends the contractor open/close signal to the power
magnetics cabinet, as directed by commands received from the CNC.
It also notifies the CNC of the open/close status of the circuit breaker
in the power magnetics cabinet.
(30) Condensation sensor unit
For the C1500B, C2000B, or C3000C, the condensation sensor unit
is mounted at the water port inlet; for the C2000C, C3000D,
C4000A, or C6000B, the unit is mounted on the output mirror holder.
If the sensor detects that the amount of condensation has exceeded
the maximum allowable level, an alarm (abnormal water
temperature) is issued and laser output is stopped, thus preventing a
fault from occurring.
(31) Highfrequency inverter
This inverter drives the turbo blower. It is responsible for
acceleration/deceleration control during start and stop of the blower.
(32) Light source for superimposing visible beam (semiconductor laser
unit)
A CO2laser beam is invisible to the naked eyes. The semiconductor
light source, therefore, is provided to enable checking of the laser
beam optical axis by superimposing a visible semiconductor laser
beam on the same optical axis. The operation of this light source is
linked to the mechanical shutter. The semiconductor laser beam is
output only while the shutter is closed. Using this beam, the optical
axis of the external optical system can be adjusted roughly and a
reference position for the machining point determined.(33) Turbo PCB
This PCB relays signals between the turbo blower and
highfrequency inverter, interface PCB.
(34) Trigger electrode
With preparatory discharge outside the laser oscillation area, main
discharge can be started easily, and the laser output becomes
completely zero at beamoff time.
A trigger electrode is installed in the C1500B, C2000C, C3000D,
and C4000A.

FANUC LASER C series are controlled by CNC. When you turn on the
start key (run key), start sequence and calibrate laser power automatically.
You make program of material processing only. When you turn off the
start key, stop sequence and oscillator stops automatically. It is not
necessary for you that daily calibration or periodic calibration. Following
shows outline of laser sequences.

This is the state prior to power on where all the signals are in off state.
B70114EN/044. FUNCTION
After power is turned on, laser comes into PURGE=1 state. This signal
is on when atmospheric pressure sensor monitors that the intratube
pressure equals atmospheric pressure. Usually when this signal is on,
purge completion lamp on operational board is lit.
[SEQ20] READY OF DISCHARGING state
When oscillator start switch is turned on, evacuation is carried on and
then gas pressure control begins. When gas pressure reaches the set
value, laser comes into discharge preparation completion (LRDY)
state and it becomes possible to turn on HV.
[SEQ30] READY OF BEAM ON OPERATION state
When HV (high voltage command) is turned on, high voltage is
applied to discharge tube. Then with the command from CNC, base
discharge is established. Further intratube pressure control is
performed. When this is completed normally, laser comes into
oscillation preparation complete state.
