4.1. Laser Source: JPT MOPA M7

The JPT MOPA M7 series high-power pulsed fiber lasers utilize master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration, offering excellent laser performance and high levels of temporal pulse shaping controllability. This technology allows for independent control of pulse repetition frequency (PRF) and pulse width, enabling superior marking effects on various materials, including aluminum black marking and color marking on stainless steel.

8. Setup Guide

1. Unpacking and Inspection: Carefully unpack all components. Inspect for any visible damage during transit. Report any discrepancies to the seller immediately.
2. Assembly: Follow the assembly instructions provided in the included USB drive. Typically, this involves mounting the laser head to the column, connecting the control box, and attaching the rotary axis if desired.
3. Software Installation: Insert the provided USB drive into your computer. Install the EZCAD2.0 software. If using Lightburn, ensure you have the correct drivers and configuration files, which may also be on the USB drive or available from the manufacturer's support resources.
4. Power Connection: Connect the machine to a stable power supply (110V-240V/50-60Hz). Ensure the emergency stop button is disengaged (turned counter-clockwise) before powering on.
5. Computer Connection: Connect the laser machine to your computer via the provided USB cable.

9. Operating Instructions

This section provides a general overview of the operating procedure. Refer to the detailed software manual (EZCAD2.0 or Lightburn) for specific instructions on design and parameter settings.
