Info

Maintenance At least once per month, check the condition of the two filters on the back of the device. If they are dirty, simply remove them by snapping off the covers, removing the filter media, washing them out with mild soap and water, drying the filters and re-installing. Exhaust Air Filtration Unit The exhaust air filtration unit provides exhaust flow to remove the smoke and fumes generated during laser processing of materials. It also contains a three stage filtration system to clean the exhaust air removed from the laser system. The three stage filtration system consists of a pre-filter to remove coarse particulates, a HEPA filter to remove fine particulate and an activated charcoal filter to remove fumes and odors. A high-pressure vacuum motor is employed to provide the air flow. The filtration unit also serves as a base for the laser system. To reduce noise and prolong filter life, the filtration unit only operates while the laser system is running a job. The filtration unit has sensors to monitor the pre and HEPA filters and a consumption meter to monitor consumption of the carbon filter. The UCP provides warnings when it is time to change each filter. Note: Always keep a spare set of filters on hand to reduce downtime. Filter replacement The Carbon filter is housed in the bottom drawer of the filter unit and the Pre and HEPA filters are housed in the top drawer. To replace any of the filters, open the drawer and remove the drawer lid. Remove the filter and replace it with a new one. The HEPA filter is underneath the pre filter so you will have to remove the pre filter to gain access to it. Maintenance The area around the pre filter and the chamber above the HEPA filter may become dirty over time. It is a good idea to take an opportunity to clean these areas with a vacuum cleaner and/or a wipe down with a mild soap solution when replacing these filters. 50
Cutting Table The cutting table is used to support material when cutting so that exhaust flow is redirected both above and below the material for clean cuts. Without it, smoke and debris can build up underneath the material causing the surface of the material to be damaged. The cutting table also helps to reduce damage to the surface of the material from laser back reflection which can occur when the laser reflects off of the table supporting the material if you attempt to cut without the cutting table. Installation 1. Turn on your laser system. 2. Lower the engraving table to the bottom of its travel. 3. Remove the engraving table by loosening the two captive thumbscrews (1). Then, using the finger holes (2), carefully lift the table out of the laser system. 4. The table support platform underneath contains a self-aligning electrical connector (1) and the two alignment pins (2). 51
