6. Operating Instructions
This section outlines the general procedure for operating the TBK958ZE for mobile device repair tasks.
- Prepare the Workpiece: Place the mobile device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) securely within the machine's working area (17x17cm). Ensure it is properly aligned for the desired operation (e.g., screen separation, back glass removal).
- Select Operation Mode:
- Via Built-in Computer: Use the wireless keyboard and mouse to navigate the interface on the HD screen. Select the appropriate repair function (e.g., "Remove Phone Screen," "Remove Back Cover").
- Via Mobile App: Open the paired mobile application. Select the desired operation and transfer any necessary images or parameters wirelessly.
- Set Laser Parameters: Adjust laser power, speed, and number of passes as required for the specific material and task. The automatic focus system will adjust the laser height (4.5cm focus height).
- Initiate Laser Process: Once parameters are set and the workpiece is secured, initiate the laser process. Ensure the protective enclosure is closed before starting. The activated carbon smoke exhaust system will activate automatically.
- Monitor Progress: Observe the laser operation through the protective viewing window. Do not open the enclosure while the laser is active.
- Completion: Once the process is complete, the machine will indicate its status. Wait for the laser to fully disengage before opening the enclosure and removing the workpiece.
