3 Safety Information

3.1 Laser Classification

The laser safety class indicates the risk potential based on the level of accessible laser radiation.
The SpeedMarker 700/700RT is a Class 2 laser marking system as per DIN EN 60825-1 “Safety of la-
ser products”.
Class 2 (US: class II)
The accessible laser radiation of Class 2 (US: calss II) laser systems does not pose any
hazard for the skin. Any short-term radiation of the eyes also poses no risk due to the low
level output. In the event of longer, more intensive radiation, the eye is protected by the
natural lid reflex.
The SpeedMarker 700/700RT uses a Class 2 (US: calss II) pilot laser. In order to prevent
irritation of the eyes during operation, the operator should not look directly at the laser
source.
Diffuse reflections of the pilot laser are entirely harmless.

Integrated laser source is a:

Speedmarker FL , Class 4 (US: class IV) laser marking system identified according to DIN EN 60825-1.

Class 4 (US: class IV)

High powered lasers (visible or invisible) considered to present potential acute hazard to
the eye and skin for both direct (intrabeam) and scatter (diffused) conditions. Also have
potential hazard considerations for fire (ignition) and byproduct emissions from target or
process materials.
It is the responsibility of the operator of the machine to take take appropriate messure-
ments to eliminate any dangers such as fire or explosions through the laser beam.

When dealing with class 4 (US: class IV) laser follow the following precautions:

According to BGV B 2 „Laser Emission“ a trained laser safety officer hast o

be appointed to evaluate potentiial hazards and to ensure that appropriate
control measurers are implemented.

The laser controlled area shall be posted with appropriate warning signs or warning
lamps.
The laser controlled area shall be defined to contain the laser radiation.
Also it must be protected agains unauthorized acess.
The operator of class 4 laser systems always has to wear appropriate safety
glasses.
An indicator (typically a light) to provide a warning of laser emission in advance of

Risk posed by missing protective equipment!

Wear the appropriate workwear.
Wear safety glasses (class 4/USA: Class IV)
Use a suitable extraction system.

Risk posed by laser marking reaction products!

A suitable extraction system must be used when laser marking due to the possible gener-
ation of gases, fumes and any other partially toxic by-product.
In individual cases, the reaction products may consist of static dust. If this enters any
electrical systems it can cause short circuits leading to personal injury and material dam-
age.

Risk posed by flammable or explosive materials!

Class 4 laser radiation such as that emitted by the SpeedMarker 700/700RT may ignite
materials or cause explosions. Among others it should be ensured that:
Parameters are selected so that the material does not overheat
The system is monitored if necessary
Dust is extracted safely
There is no accumulation of any flammable residues or remnants in the workspace.

3.7 Gases, Fumes and Dust

Depending on the materials being marked and the parameters selected, laser marking may generate
gases, fumes, aerosols or dust.
The toxicity of such by-products depends on the material.
The operator is responsible for ensuring a suitable extraction system is in place and for compliance with
the relevant guidelines in order to protect individuals and the environment.
The guideline VDI 2262 1…3 "Workplace air " provides, among other things, additional remarks.
The operator must also ensure that gases, fumes or dust do not settle on the processing lens. Any dirt
accumulating on the processing lens can lead to a loss of performance, poor marking results and dam-
age to the device.

8.6 Setting up the Focus

It is absolutely essential to maintain the correct focal distance for every laser marking pro-
cess. Only when in focus will the laser beam achieve the power density necessary for per-
manent and clearly legible marking.

CAUTION
Risk of injury when working with mechanical components.

Prior to any marking it is therefore necessary to set the correct focal distance between the marking
head and the workpiece. An incorrect focal distance is the most common cause of poor or even indis-
tinguishable markings.
Position the laser by moving the Z-axis until the ideal marking result has been reached.
The focal distance (A) is measured between the lower edge of the galvo head (B) and the upper sur-
face of the workpiece (C). The correct focal distance depends on the lens used (focal length).

C
Lens Focal distance (A)
F-100 ~134,6 mm
F-160 ~211,6 mm
F-254 ~361,6 mm
F-330 ~456,59 mm
F-420 ~562,59 mm

8.7 Positioning the Workpiece

Use the “Border Mark” function in the marking software to indicate the marking field with the pilot laser.
Move the workpiece under the laser until it is in the correct marking position.

9.3 Maintenance work

9.3.1 Cleaning the lenses

INFO
Laser optics are highly sensitive and their surfaces are not as hard as traditional
glass. They can also be easily damaged by cleaning. It is therefore necessary to en-
sure that any dirt is removed using a suitable suction device and that the surrounding
area is cleaned regularly.

ATTENTION
 Never touch the optical components with your fingers! Oily or dirty hands may
damage the lens surfaces.
 To remove larger pieces of dirt, only use a soft lens cleaning cloth in conjunction
with high proof (min. 98 %) alcohol or special lens cleaning liquid.
 Do not dip the cleaning cloth into the cleaning solution. This contaminates the so-
lution and makes it unusable. Place drops of the solution on the cloth!
 Apply the cleaning solution carefully in order to avoid scratching the surface of the
lens.
 Do not use any tools or hard objects to clean the surfaces. Scratches cannot be
repaired.
 Small bellows should be used to remove dust.
 Do not use compressed air as it contains small quantities of oil and water.
 Distribute the cleaning fluid carefully using small circular motions. Start at the cen-
tre of the lens and move outwards to the edge. Keep moving the cloth until the en-
tire surface is clean.
 Do not exert any pressure on the lens.

9.3.2 Replacing the laser rack and industrial-PC filter mats

This laser system is fitted with a ventilation system. A filter mat is used to protect the electronic compo-
nents from dust and dirt in the ambient air.
This filter mat should be checked and replaced at regular intervals in order to ensure optimum cooling.
The filter mat is located behind the ventilation slots on the front of the laser rack or industrial-PC.

9.3.3 Observation window

The observation window is made of a special, coloured plastic. In order not to damage it, it should only
be cleaned with clean water and possibly a little detergent if necessary. Use a soft cloth in order not to
scratch the surface.

ATTENTION
Benzene, alcohol, acetone, solvent or similar cleaning agents will damage the laser pro-
tection glass, which must be replaced immediately.
Scratches must also be avoided. The laser protection glass must be replaced immediately
if it becomes scratched.

10 Troubleshooting

This chapter should assist maintenance personnel with the identification and resolution of operational
faults based on error messages and symptoms.
ATTENTION
Repairing faults incorrectly can cause serious injury or damage. For this reason, this work
may only be carried out by by authorized, trained personnel who are familiar with how to
operate the machine and in strict observance of all safety instructions.

INFO
Movements and functions may only be performed when there are no errors and all de-
vices are ready for operation. This state is prerequisite for starting the SpeedMarker 300.
If this state changes during operation, the laser cell stops.
The error must be acknowledged using the “ON” button on the keypad.

10.1 Error Analysis

If an error occurs, the “Error LED” light flashes on the keypad. The error may be read on the display.
