100 Watt 4’x3’ Laser
PLS 75Watt Universal Laser
Universal Laser tool use notes:
- The only recommended SETTINGS are:
Flow = ON {check mark}
Flow rate = 100% {slider}
- The laser is occasionally run with out any are flow { Flow = OFF; Air Flow Rate = 0% } this will cause cutting debris to clog the air nozzle located closest to the cut.
- If the laser is run with a low flow rate { Flow = air on ; Air Flow Rate < 50% } the machine will trigger a “ Air pressure too low “ Error. It seems the sensor in the head is unable to register the flow rate, likely due to the fish pump giving the machine ~7 psi and the machine needs 50 to run as intended.
- It is plausible that the fish pump puts some debris and oil into the air system and increases the chance of a clog in the lines before the cutter. An “ Air pressure too low “ Error has been seen before under presumably normal settings, and was fixed after disassembling the laser cutting head and associated air lines coming from the rear left.
