4. Setup and Installation

Before operating the laser welding gun, ensure it is properly connected to a compatible fiber laser system and power supply. The gun head is designed for modularity, allowing for different nozzles and accessories.

4.1 Nozzle Replacement

The nozzle is a consumable part that may need to be replaced due to wear or to change the application (e.g., welding, cutting, cleaning).

1. Carefully unscrew the existing nozzle from the gun head.
2. Remove the old nozzle and any associated protective components.
3. Insert the new nozzle, ensuring it is correctly aligned.
4. Finally, screw on the nozzle securely until hand-tight. Do not overtighten.

5. Operating Instructions

The SUP20S is designed for handheld operation, offering flexibility for various tasks. Ensure all connections are secure and the laser system is powered on and ready before beginning operation.

• Power On: Follow the startup procedure for your main fiber laser system.
• Select Mode: Depending on the attached head, the gun can perform welding, cutting, or cleaning. Ensure the correct head is installed for your desired application.
• Activate Laser: Press the 'Switch Button' on the handle to activate the laser. Release the button to stop the laser.
• Workpiece Preparation: Prepare the workpiece according to the specific requirements of laser welding, cutting, or cleaning. This may include cleaning surfaces and ensuring proper fit-up.
• Maintain Distance: Keep the nozzle at the appropriate working distance from the workpiece for optimal results.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your laser welding gun. Always power off the laser system and disconnect the gun before performing any maintenance.

• Nozzle Inspection and Replacement: Regularly inspect the nozzle for wear, blockages, or damage. Replace as needed (refer to Section 4.1).
• Protective Mirror Cleaning/Replacement: The protective mirrors (located in the First and Second Protective Mirror Drawers) are crucial for laser beam quality and safety. Inspect them regularly for dust, debris, or damage. Clean them with appropriate optical cleaning supplies or replace them if damaged.
• General Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the gun clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check all connecting cables for signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.

7. Troubleshooting

This section provides general guidance for common issues. For complex problems, contact technical support.

• No Laser Output:
  • Check if the main laser system is powered on and operational.
  • Ensure all cables are securely connected.
  • Verify that the safety interlocks are engaged.
  • Inspect the nozzle and protective mirrors for blockages or damage.
• Poor Welding/Cutting/Cleaning Quality:
  • Check the condition of the nozzle and replace if worn or damaged.
  • Clean or replace protective mirrors.
  • Ensure correct laser parameters (power, speed, focus) are set on the main system.
  • Verify proper gas flow (if applicable).

If the issue persists after performing these checks, please contact customer support for further assistance.
