1 OVERVIEW
In this manual, we have tried as for as possible to address all issues.

However, space restrictions prevent us from describing everything that
must not be done, or which cannot be done, because there are so many
possibilities.
Therefore, all matters which are not specifically described as being
possible should be regarded as being “impossible”.

2. SAFETY B–70114EN/04
2.1 1) Potential hazards

Laser oscillator emits CO2 laser beam(10.6 mm), which is high power
LASER BEAM and invisible.
D Being directly exposed to the CO2 beam could severely burn you.
D The CO2 beam could bource off your workpiece and burn your eyes
or skin.
FANUC LASER C series have a diode laser. The diode laser beam
is visible (red color) and low power. It is used to ensure that the CO2
beam is correctly positioned on your workpiece.
D The diode laser beam is not considered harmful to your skin. But
if you stared head on into the laser diode beam, it could harm your
eyes.
2) Safety recommendations
Never expose the eyes and skin to the laser beam. Be careful of the
laser beam when performing the inspection and maintenance.
Do not turn on the power supply to the oscillator when the panel open
and do not drive. It is bleached to radiation of the laser beam and high
voltage.
Do the countermeasure (For instance, installs safety glasses and the
protection gloves) to danger in case of stopped no finish and nor
opening the panel while it energizes the oscillator.
Install beam safety cover after mirror cleaning or replacement. And if
not beam safety cover installation, do not operation and alignment.
Confirm when it does alignment, the protection pipe (Safety cover) is
installed. If it dose not install the protection pipe, it will put the finger
in the laser beam and there is possibility to do the burn.
When entering the area exposed to the scattered beam, wear the safety
glasses. Mount the stand made of acrylic resin or any material which
can absorb the CO2 laser beam to protect the personnel from the
scattered beam.
Avoid exposure of any part of your body to the CO2 laser beam.
When testing the beam output, any personnel other than the
maintenance personnel should be out of the working environment.
In designing a material processing machine utilizing FANUC LASER
C series, be sure that the CO2 laser beam goes from laser to the
workpiece only through the enclosed beam delivery system. This
prevents the exposure to laser beam by the operator switch could
otherwise take place. It is absolutely necessary to include the
instructions given here in the manuals of the laser material–processing
machine as a whole, which are to be read.

CO2 beam is delivery from oscillator. Direct or scattered beam is
SAFETY exposed.
ENCLOSURE (AT 2) Safety recommendations
YOUR WORK Mount the safety enclosure made of acrylic resin which can absorb the
STATION) laser beam around the working environment.
Mount the interlock switch on the safety enclosure door which
extinguishes the laser beam output when the door is open. Never
perform operation without safety cover of laser machine.

When you work with the laser oscillator or machine, hot fragments or
FIRE slag can scatter from your workpiece. The CO2 beam or a reflection
of it could ignite flammable material.
The direct or scattered laser beam can ignite flammable materials such
as paper, cloth, and wood. Provide a beam absorber behind the
workpiece and around it during maintenance. The absorber can be
anodized aluminum, graphite or brick.
Put a shield between yourself and the workpiece when the CO2 beam
is on. Even diffuse reflections can harm eyes and skin and may ignite
flammable material.

Some materials such as certain plastics can emit toxic fume when they
TOXIC FUME burn under the laser beam.
Install the exhaust system to remove toxic fume from the work
environment.
Consult the manufacturer of the material you are processing to learn
if it creates any fumes when heated or burned.
19

When you touch a part of high temperature, your skin burn.
HIGH TEMPERATURE
The pipes of the gas circular system are very a high temperature. Do
not touch pipes, heat exchanger and turbo blower because it does not
do the burn. It is hot immediately after having stopped driving. After
getting cold enough in case of removing, dismount it.

2.8 All the laser products have to comply with the various kinds of laser safety
regulations, which include the use of key control. For instance, FDA
KEY CONTROL PART 1040 PERFORMANCE STANDARDS FOR
LIGHT–EMITTING PRODUCTS, Sec 1040. 10 (f), (4) states: “Each
laser system classified as a Class IIIb or IV laser product shall incorporate
a key–actuated master control. The key shall be removable and the laser
shall not be operable when the key is removed” and EN60825–1:1994, 4.5
Key control state “Any laser system belonging to one of the following
classes shall incorporate a key operation master control: Class 4 and Class
3B, except for Class 3B with not more than five times the AEL of Class
2 in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 700 nm. The key shall be
removable and the laser radiation shall not be accessible when the key is
removed.”
Because the laser package products offered by FANUC cannot produce

the laser beam as they are in the state of shipment, the system integrator
who incorporates FANUC products into the system, which generates the
laser beam, is obliged to incorporate the master key as defined by the
relevant regulation.
2.9 The shutter lock is prepared because it dose not put out the laser beam by
mistake. If you do not put out the beam, lock the shutter.
SHUTTER LOCK
Use the mechanical switch at shutter lock switch, not electrical
component (Relay)or switching circuit (Transistor, FET).
Use the one with the compulsion dissociation mechanism for the switch
used for the shutter lock circuit and the switch for welding prevention.
To designer of laser processing machine
1. Use a mechanical switch for the switch used to lock the

shutter. Do not use an electric switch (For instance,
transistor circuit, etc.). Moreover, use the one with the
contact dissociation mechanism to prevent welding for a
mechanical switch.
2. Put it in the series of the contact of the emergency stop
button in the shutter lock circuit. When the emergency stop
switch is pushed, it is necessary to intercept the power
supply to the shutter.
41
2.10 Press the emergency stop button when it is dangerous and breaks down.
The oscillator is stopped discharging, gas pressure control and stand by
EMERGENCY STOP purge state.
BUTTON
Use the one with the compulsion dissociation mechanism for the relay
used for the emergency stop circuit and the switch for welding prevention.
2.11 FANUC LASER C series are equipped with the warning light optionally.
The light is flashed during discharging and ready of laser beam emission.
WARNING LIGHT Be careful of laser beam and high voltage.
(OPTIONAL)
In EN60825–1, it needs the design with the fail safe or

redundant for warning equipment. The redundant warning
light is needed near the work–point of processing machine.
The warning light is prepared for the oscillator. Select this as
a warning light more than the second for the fail safe.
42
2.12 Inapposite use and the result are described in each explanation place.
Inapposite major use are described in the following.
INAPPOSITE USE OF
LASER OSCILLATOR (1) The gas with different composition and purity from the specification
is connected with the oscillator.
The oscillator does not work normally and do the protection
movement. In the worst case, the oscillator breaks down.
(2) The gas piping with different material and structure from the
specification is used.
A leakage of the laser gas and a defective composition are occurred.
In the worst case, the oscillator breaks down.
(3) The water piping of the material, which corrodes to water, is used.
Water is blocked by the generation of rust. If cooling water does not
flow in a regulated amount, the oscillator will not work normally.
(4) Cooling water is not regularly exchanged.
Water is blocked by the generation of rust. Moreover, it is easy for the
water fittings in the oscillator to corrode. In the worst case, the fittings
are damaged and the water leak happens.
(5) The oil of turbo blower and the exhaust pump is not regularly
exchanged.
Turbo blower is damaged and the oscillator does not work. The
exhaust pump is damaged similarly.
(6) The filter of the exhaust pump is not regularly exchanged.
The exhaust ability of the exhaust pump decreases. Moreover, white
smoke comes out from the pump exit and the oil leak happens. In the
worst case, the oscillator does not work.
(7) You will touch an unrelated place when usually maintaining.
In the oscillator there are adjustment place. The adjustment place is the
best value when shipping. When the adjustment shifts, the oscillator
will not work normally. It is necessary to adjust it by service man that
was trained.
(8) You open the panel immediately after the oscillator was stopped and
oil is exchanged.
(9) There is a place of the high temperature immediately after the
oscillator stopped. When you touches there, you will do the burn. After
getting cold of the oscillator, open the panel. Refer to safety in Chapter
2 for the place of the high temperature.

manufacturer for use of the cleaning agent.
Product name: DESLIME
Manufacturer: MITSUBISHI GAS CHEMICAL ISC
(4) Antifreezing solution
If the chiller is used in a cold district, it should be provided with an
antifreezing function. When it is extremely cold, the chiller should be
kept running. If it is necessary to use an antifreezing solution for lack
of an alternative, the following antifreezing solution should be used.
Its concentration should be 30% (usually) or 40% (in an extremely
cold district). Use of an antifreezing solution should be restricted
within four months in winter. Do not use antifreezing solution
together with an anticorrosive. The following antifreezing solution is
already added with an anticorrosive.
Product name: AURORA BRINE
Manufacturer: TOKYO FINE CHEMICAL Co.
46
Caution In winter or in a cold district, when the oscillator is at a rest and

the ambient temperature gets to or below the freezing point,
the cooling water in the oscillator freezes, possibly breaking
the water pipe or damaging the chilling unit. When the
oscillator is not in use, drain cooling water from it. To drain
water, keep blowing compressed air at 5 kgf/cm2 or less into
the oscillator through the cooling water inlet for 15 minutes.

3.6.3 The flow rate should be chosen so that the temperature difference between
Cooling Water Flow the inlet and outlet of the chiller becomes less than 3°C. The customer can
refer to the following table.
Rate
Type Flow rate
C1500B 50 liter/min
C2000B, C2000C 75 liter/min
C3000C, C3000D 120 liter/min
C4000A 160 liter/min
C6000B 250 liter/min
3.6.4 The cooling water from chiller is temperature–regulated.

Plumbing D Choose the tubing material which can withstand corrosion, which will
choke the water flow.
D Make the hose length between the laser and chiller as short as possible.
Along hose makes the pressure 1oss high and becomes a burden to the
chiller pump.
D Place a strainer at the water inlet of laser. It will prevent the f1owing
in of the dust into the laser.
D Place flow meters both at the inlet and outlet of the laser. Daily
checking of the water f1ow contributes to the prevention of abrupt stop
of laser operation.
The water fittings of the inlet and outlet of lasers are shown below.

LASER GAS
3.7.1 Use the gas bottle of the volume of 7m3. Store the necessary number of
Gas Bottle bottles according to the operation of the laser.
3.7.2 Drawing of last chapter 1 shown laser gas connection of inlet and outlet.
Laser Gas Tubing Inlet and outlet fittings on laser are female PT 3/8”.
(1) Gas inlet of oscillator
D Use the tube designated. (FANUC recommends the use of AS1
tube manufactured by Jyunkosha.)
Do not use a tube possessing high permeability to He. (In the worst
case, the laser will be damaged by improper gas composition.)
D Use the gas of the correct composition.
(2) Gas outlet of oscillator
The oil mist and the dissociated gas come out from the exit of the gas.
Tie the piping of 3/8 inches or more to the gas exit and put it out to
outdoor. It will load the exhaust pump when thin piping or extremely
1ong and the exhaust ability decreases occasionally.
3.7.3 Observe the following cautions for piping between the laser gas cylinder
Gas Pipe and laser oscillator.
D Use nylon tube having an inside diameter of 8 mm or larger (Junlon
AS1 manufactured by Junkousha, or equivalent). Do not use a rubber
or urethane tube.
D Use a swage–lock vacuum joint (Fujikin’s product or equivalent). Do
not use a one–touch coupler, quick coupler, or hose–band joint.
D Minimize the length of tubing. It should be kept within 5 m. Never
exceed 15 m. For a length of 15 m or greater, use stainless pipe.
D If it is necessary to use metal pipe for lack of an alternative, use
stainless bright annealed pipe. Minimize the number of joints used.
Connect pipes, if necessary, using a swage–lock vacuum joint or by
TIG welding. Do NOT use silver soldering or copper piping. Piping
should be installed by a vacuum piping specialist. Do not extend metal
piping over 30 m.
D Always keep the piping materials clean. Do not allow foreign matter
to get in the pipe.
D Use a pressure reducer that is free from gas leakage.
D After installing the pipe, check it for gas leakage, using a liquid leak
checker (Gyupoflex: A98L–0001–0856, detecting bubbles caused by
leaking gas) or a clamp test1).
Note
1. Open the valve of the gas cylinder to pressurize the inside
of the pipe, then close the valve. Check to see if the
pressure in the pipe becomes low with time. Monitor the
primary pressure of the gas reducer for over 8 hours. If the
gas pressure becomes lower by 10% within 8 hours, gas is
likely to be leaking. Take an appropriate measure.

INTERNAL
STRUCTURE
4.1.1 The FANUC LASER C series consists of a laser resonator, laser excitation
power supply, forced gas circulating system, pressure controller, exhaust
Outline
controller, CNC interface, and a protective housing.
Laser resonator The laser resonator consists of several discharge tubes, connected in series
using folding mirrors, with a rear mirror and output mirror placed at the
open ends of the discharge tubes, thus sealing the tubes. The resonator
is fitted with a gas pipe connecting port through which laser gas is fed into
the discharge tubes.
A discharge from the electrodes of the discharge tube energizes CO2
molecules, which emit light. This light is amplified by stimulated
emission, repeated between the rear mirror and output mirror, a laser beam
being emitted from the output mirror.
Laser excitation power This is a 2–MHz high–frequency power supply, the output of which is
supply controlled by the CNC. This power supply is used to create a discharge
in the laser gas flowing through the discharge tubes, thus energizing CO2
molecules.
Forced gas circulating A gas circulating system is configured by connecting the resonator and
system turbo blower with a circulating pipe. Laser gas is forced through the
discharge tubes at a speed of 200 m/s or higher.
A water–cooled heat exchanger, used to cool the high–temperature gas
from the discharge tubes, is provided at the inlet side of the turbo blower.
At the outlet side of the turbo blower, another water–cooled heat
exchanger dissipates the compression heat.
Pressure controller The laser gas pressure within the forced gas circulating system is
controlled by commands issued from the CNC, thus ensuring stable laser
output.
Exhaust controller The laser gas flow is controlled by commands issued from the CNC.
CNC interface Interface used to connect a FANUC Series 0–L or 16–L. 16i–L CNC
commands that, control the operation of the laser oscillator, such as
start/stop and laser output, are input via this interface.
Protective housing An enclosure that houses the above components. The housing, consisting
of metal panels and doors, completely encloses the laser oscillator, thus
protecting the operator from exposure to laser radiation and from high
voltages. All panels are screw–fixed and cannot be removed without an
appropriate tool. The doors are also designed to prevent an accident from
occurring as a result of careless operation. The doors can be opened only
when the main circuit breaker is open. A door interlock function is also
supported.

4.2 The following describes the details of each component of the FANUC
LASER C series. Fig. 4.2 (a) to (l) show the internal structure.
COMPONENT
DETAILS (1) Resonator
The resonator consists of an output mirror, rear mirror, folding
mirrors, discharge tubes, power sensor unit, etc. It converts electrical
energy first to laser gas, then to optical energy (10.6–mm
single–wavelength laser beam).
(2) Output mirror
A transmitting/reflecting mirror which outputs the laser beam after
it has been amplified. The output mirror consists of a ZnSe (zinc
selenide) substrate, coated with dielectric. ZnSe is tightly toxic. Be
particularly careful, therefore, when handling the output mirror.
(3) Rear mirror
A reflecting mirror consisting of a Ge (germanium) substrate, coated
with dielectric. Having a high reflectance of 99.5%, the rear mirror
is used to reflect the laser beam within the resonator while
transmitting 0.5% of the laser light so that the beam can be monitored
externally.
(4) Folding mirror
The folding mirror, consisting of a 45° block and a gold–coated Si
(silicon) substrate, is used to divert the laser beam through 90°. It
also linearly polarizes the laser beam.
(5) Discharge tube
A pair of Ag (silver) electrodes are metallized on the surface of a
hollow quartz glass pipe. A high–frequency discharge between these
electrodes injects electrical energy into the laser gas. Each electrode
is coated with ceramic, preventing it from degrading and thus
improving system reliability.
(6) Power sensor
An optical sensor which detects the intensity of the laser beam,
transmitted through the rear mirror, thus enabling monitoring of the
laser output level.
(7) Gas circulating system
A gas circulating path including a turbo blower, heat exchangers, and
circulating pipes, which supplies and exhausts laser gas to and from
the discharge tubes at high speed.
(8) Turbo blower
During laser oscillation, the laser gas pressure is 100 to 700 (1330 to
9310 Pa) when DGN. The turbo blower circulates this
rough–vacuum gas at high speed (up to 200 m/s within the discharge
tubes) without contaminating the gas.
(9) Heat exchanger (inlet)
Heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated by
discharge, before it is drawn into the turbo blower.
(10) Heat exchanger (outlet)
Heat exchanger used to cool the laser gas that has been heated by
compression in the turbo blower, before being forced into the
discharge tubes.
103
(11) Pressure controller

This unit constantly monitors the gas pressure in the discharge tubes
and supplies fresh laser gas to the gas circulating system, thus
maintaining a constant pressure in the discharge tubes. This unit also
monitors the laser gas supply state and the purging state in the gas
circulating system.
(12) Exhaust pump unit
This unit is used to vacuum–exhaust laser gas from the gas
circulating system such that its pressure falls to that used for laser
oscillation. Also, within this unit, a small amount of circulating gas
is constantly being exchanged, to prevent degradation of the
circulating gas.
(13) Exhaust controller
The exhaust controller controls the flow rate of the laser gas
exhausted by the exhaust pump unit. It adjusts the gas flow rate from
that used for gas exchange to that used for pressure control. In the
event of a power failure, the exhaust controller immediately returns
the exhaust pump unit to atmospheric pressure, thus protecting the
pump.
(14) Exhaust system filter
The exhaust system filter is used to remove oil mist from the exhaust
pump to prevent contamination of the gas circulating system and
optical parts. The C1500B, C2000B, C2000C, C3000C, C3000D,
and C4000A do not have this filter.
(15) Hour meter
The hour meter indicates the total number of hours that the laser
oscillator has operated (how many hours the exhaust pump has
operated), to indicate whether maintenance or inspection is
necessary.
(16) Shutter section
The shutter section consists of a shutter, beam absorber, shutter
cooling fan, etc., and is used to prevent output of the laser beam
during laser oscillation. While the shutter is closed, the laser beam
is reflected by the shutter then absorbed by the beam absorber. For
safety, the shutter is fitted with a photoelectric limit switch which
allows the system to monitor whether the shutter is open or closed.
(17) Shutter
The shutter consists of a gold–coated reflecting mirror, mounted on
the rotating arm of a rotary solenoid. The shutter can be opened and
closed instantaneously by issuing a CNC command. For safety, the
shutter is equipped with a temperature sensor which allows the
system to monitor the temperature of the shutter.
(18) Beam absorber
While the laser oscillator is operating with the shutter closed, the
laser beam is guided into the beam absorber. The beam absorber
absorbs nearly 100% of laser beam and is water–cooled, allowing it
to safely absorb the beam for relatively long periods. For safety, the
beam absorber is equipped with a temperature sensor which allows
the system to monitor the temperature of the beam absorber.
104
(19) Water distribution unit

This unit distributes cooling water, supplied from either a chiller unit
or a temperature–regulated external water supply, to each unit in the
laser oscillator. For safety, the water distribution unit is equipped
with a flow sensor which allows the system to monitor the flow rate
of the
(20) Laser power supply unit
This unit rectifies and smooths the 3–phase 200/220–V AC input,
then supplies DC power to the RF inverter by controlling the PWM
DC–DC converter, as directed by commands received from the CNC.
The RF inverter converts DC power to 3 to 4 kVPO–P high–frequency
(2 MHz) power, then outputs it to the matching box.
(21) Matching box
The matching box contains a matching circuit, consisting of coils and
capacitors, which ensures that power is effectively input to the
discharge tubes. The matching box is connected to the laser power
supply unit via either a high–voltage cable or coaxial cable.
(22) Beam folding unit
This unit reverses the direction of the laser beam in the oscillator.
Two zero–shift mirrors are used to ensure that the polarization of the
light remains constant. The C3000C employs a circular polarization
mirror as upper one, such that a circularly polarized beam is
produced.
(23) Intermediate PCB A
This PCB transmits signals output by the pressure control unit, such
as those from the pressure sensor, pressure control valve, and
pressure switch, to the interface PCB.
(24) Intermediate PCB B
This PCB transmits signals output by the shutter section, such as
those from the limit switch, absorber temperature sensor, power
sensor, and condensation sensor, to the interface PCB.
(25) Input unit
The input unit consists of an interface PCB, stabilized power supply,
and power magnetics cabinet. It transfers signals between the laser
oscillator and CNC, and supply power to each unit.
(26) Interface PCB
FS0–L: Transfer analog, digital input (DI), and digital output
(DO) signals to and from the CNC (parallel interface).
FS16–L/ : Transfers signals to and from the CNC via the FANUC
FS16i–L I/O LINK (serial interface). Because this is a serial
interface, optical fiber cable can be used to enable
long–distance transmission.
(27) Stabilized power supply
This unit converts the 200/220 VAC power source to DC power for
the interface PCB and other units.
(28) Power magnetics cabinet
The power magnetics cabinet distributes power, supplied from an
external unit, to each unit in the laser oscillator. It also protects each
unit from overcurrents.
105
(29) Control PCB

This PCB sends the contractor open/close signal to the power
magnetics cabinet, as directed by commands received from the CNC.
It also notifies the CNC of the open/close status of the circuit breaker
in the power magnetics cabinet.
(30) Condensation sensor unit
For the C1500B, C2000B, or C3000C, the condensation sensor unit
is mounted at the water port inlet; for the C2000C, C3000D,
C4000A, or C6000B, the unit is mounted on the output mirror holder.
If the sensor detects that the amount of condensation has exceeded
the maximum allowable level, an alarm (abnormal water
temperature) is issued and laser output is stopped, thus preventing a
fault from occurring.
(31) High–frequency inverter
This inverter drives the turbo blower. It is responsible for
acceleration/deceleration control during start and stop of the blower.
(32) Light source for superimposing visible beam (semiconductor laser
unit)
A CO2 laser beam is invisible to the naked eyes. The semiconductor
light source, therefore, is provided to enable checking of the laser
beam optical axis by superimposing a visible semiconductor laser
beam on the same optical axis. The operation of this light source is
linked to the mechanical shutter. The semiconductor laser beam is
output only while the shutter is closed. Using this beam, the optical
axis of the external optical system can be adjusted roughly and a
reference position for the machining point determined.
(33) Turbo PCB
This PCB relays signals between the turbo blower and
high–frequency inverter, interface PCB.
(34) Trigger electrode
With preparatory discharge outside the laser oscillation area, main
discharge can be started easily, and the laser output becomes
completely zero at beam–off time.
A trigger electrode is installed in the C1500B, C2000C, C3000D,
and C4000A.

4. FUNCTION B–70114EN/04
After power is turned on, laser comes into PURGE=1 state. This signal
is on when atmospheric pressure sensor monitors that the intra–tube
pressure equals atmospheric pressure. Usually when this signal is on,
purge completion lamp on operational board is lit.
[SEQ20] READY OF DISCHARGING state
When oscillator start switch is turned on, evacuation is carried on and
then gas pressure control begins. When gas pressure reaches the set
value, laser comes into discharge preparation completion (LRDY)
state and it becomes possible to turn on HV.
[SEQ30] READY OF BEAM ON OPERATION state
When HV (high voltage command) is turned on, high voltage is
applied to discharge tube. Then with the command from CNC, base
discharge is established. Further intra–tube pressure control is
performed. When this is completed normally, laser comes into
oscillation preparation complete state.

5 MAINTENANCE
In FANUC LASER C series, periodic inspection items have been

reduced, and adjustments have been made easy. To keep the oscillator in
a satisfactory operating condition over a long period, however, it is
necessary to carry out periodic maintenance (including daily
maintenance) described in this chapter. The oscillator is designed to
maintain the same performance and reliability as it has when it is installed,
provided that maintenance is carried out as prescribed.

5. MAINTENANCE B–70114EN/04
5.1 Table 5.1 lists daily inspection items. Inspect the FANUC LASER C
series according to this table. When parts (including oil) have been used
DAILY INSPECTION for a prescribed period, replace them quickly.
Table 5.1 Daily inspection items for FANUC LASER C series
Item Period Content and instruction
1 Residual laser gas Daily Check to see if the primary pressure is 10 bar or less as mea-
sured at the regulator on the laser gas cylinder. If the primary
pressure is 10 bar or lower, replace the gas cylinder. See
Section 5.6 for the gas specifications.
2 Exhaust pump oil Weekly Make sure that the oil level is between L (minimum) and H
(maximum). Usually, oil is supplied until the oil level is in the
middle between L and H. If the oil level is below L, supply oil
according to Section 5.3.3. Be sure to replace the oil periodi-
cally, every 6 months of use or every 1500 hours of operation,
whichever is earlier.
3 Exhaust pump oil leak Weekly Make sure that no oil is leaking from the vane pump main
body, drain cock and their periphery. If oil is leaking, immedi-
ately replace the exhaust filter according to Section 5.3.4, be-
cause it is likely to have been clogged. Be sure to replace the
exhaust filter periodically, every one year of use or every 3000
hours of operation, whichever is earlier.
4 Turbo blower oil Weekly Make sure that the oil level is between L (minimum) and H
(maximum) according to Fig. 5.3.2. Usually , oil is suppled
until the oil level is at 3/4 above L. If the oil level is below L,
supply oil according to Section 5.3.2. Be sure to replace the
oil periodically, every 4 months of use or 1000 hours of opera-
tion, whichever is earlier.
5 Turbo blower oil leak Weekly Make sure that no oil is leaking from the turbo blower main
body, oil inlet, cock, and their periphery. If oil is leaking, locate
the leak. If oil leaks for any reason other than a cock being
open, call FANUC.
6 Laser output Weekly 1. Check to see if the laser output measured at the outlet of
the short optical path oscillator is 5% or more lower than
the specified output. If this is the case, clean or replace
the optical components in the external reflection unit.
2. If the laser output decreases within the oscillator, warning
message No. 4085 [685] is issued. If this message ap-
pears, clean or replace the mirror in the oscillator quickly.
7 Cooling water Daily Make sure that the chiller discharge output is 5 bar or less.
Weekly Check the quality of cooling water circulating in the chiller. If

the water is colored badly, replace it completely. Be sure to
replace the cooling water every two months. Adding an anti-
corrosive to cooling water can decrease the replacement fre-
quency. See Section 5.5 for descriptions about the anticorro-
sive.

5.3.2
Turbo Blower Oil
D Check method Check the amount of oil in the turbo blower while referring to the figure
below. The oil level should be between graduations H and L.
Fig. 5.3.2 Turbo blower oil gauge
Note This check should be made when the oscillator is at a rest.

When the turbo blower is running, it is impossible to check the
amount of oil correctly.
D Replenishment method 1. Remove the hexagonal–head screw from the oil inlet with a 17 mm
wrench. Be careful not to lose the O–ring on the screw.
Caution Before supplying turbo oil, stop the oscillator according to the
correct procedure and turn off the power. If the oscillator is not
stopped by the correct procedure, the pressure in the turbo
blower becomes negative. Opening the oil inlet under such a
condition lets a large amount of air get in the turbo blower. An
air flow caused this way can bring oil mist into the oscillator,
possibly resulting in the optical mirror getting dirty.
2. Take out a bottle of oil from an oil kit (A04B–0800–K326). Remove

the nozzle from the bottle, and take off the inner lid, then put the nozzle
back on the bottle. Insert the nozzle into the oil inlet. If it is difficult
to do this job, attach a tube (attachment to the oil kit) to the nozzle.
Watch the liquid level through the oil window. Supply oil until the
liquid level reaches the middle between graduation H and the center
line. Either superfluous or insufficient oil can be a cause of trouble.
129
3. Clean the oil inlet, hexagonal–head screw, and O–ring by wiping with
clean cloth or paper. Make sure that these parts are free of dust and lint.
Put the O–ring in the groove around the hexagonal–head screw hole
at the oil inlet correctly. Fit and tighten the hexagonal–head screw into
the oil inlet. Note that if the O–ring is not inserted correctly, or the
hexagonal–head screw is not tighten correctly, the turbo blower will
not be air–tight.
4. If oil has spilled over, wipe it up. Otherwise, the peripheral equipment
may be affected adversely.
5. If there is oil left over, put the inner lid back on the bottle, and keep
the bottle in a dark, cool place.
D Replacement method 1. Get a container for oil drain on hand, and put the tip of the drain tube
into the container.
Note Replace the oil every 1000 hours of operation or every four
months of use, whichever is earlier.
2. Turn the oil drain cock through 90° clockwise, and the oil will start
draining.
3. After all the oil has been drained, close the oil drain cock by setting
it back in the initial place.
4. Supply oil by following the same procedure as for replenishment.
Caution After oil replacement, perform aging, referring to Section 5.4.
130
5.3.3 Fig. 5.3.3 shows the location of the oil gauge. See also Fig. 5.3.4.
Exhaust Pump Oil
D Check method Watch the oil gauge, and check that the oil level is between graduations
L and H. Also check whether the oil is dark.
If the oil level is below L, add oil to the turbo blower or replace the oil in
it. If the oil level is above H, drain until the oil level becomes below H.
Fig. 5.3.3 Exhaust pump oil gauge
Note The exhaust of the turbo blower contains oil mist. The exhaust
pump will capture oil mist, and the amount of exhaust pump oil
increases with time. When the oil has increased too much, the
filter gets immersed in the oil, possibly causing white mist to
come out from the pump, or oil to leak. Furthermore, the
exhaust capacity may get lowered, or the pump may be
damaged.
D Replacement method 1. Stop the oscillator, and turn off the power.
2. Remove the maintenance panel.
3. Remove the oil inlet plug. There is an O–ring on it. Be careful not to
damage it. A missing or damaged O–ring can lower the exhaust
capacity of the pump.
4. Insert the drain tube into a drain oil pot.
5. Fully open the drain cock.
6. After the oil has been drained up, close the cock.
7. Supply 1.8 liters of new oil through the oil inlet, while watching the
oil gauge.
8. Attach the oil inlet plug.
9. Put the maintenance panel back in place, and turn on the power.
131
5.3.4
Exhaust Pump Filter
D Replacement method Replace the filter every 3000 hours of operation or every year of use,
whichever is earlier. If the filter gets clogged, the pump output becomes
low.

1. Stop the oscillator, and turn off the power.

3. Remove the black screw button from the pump.
4. Remove the filter cover and O–ring.
5. Remove the spring and washer.
6. Pull out the exhaust filter element.
7. Orient a new exhaust filter element correctly, and reverse the
procedure from step 5 to step 2. (An upward arrow is indicated on the
front surface of the filter element.)
Note The exhaust filter element should be installed securely. If it is

installed incorrectly, or the O–ring is not inserted accurately, oil
mist (white) will come out from the exhaust outlet.
8. Put the maintenance panel back in place, and turn on the power.

134
5.4 If the machine has not been unused for an extended period of time (three
days or longer) or if the laser gas circulatory system is exposed to the
AGING atmosphere (after, for example, turbo blower oil replacement), aging is
required. Aging refers to heating the discharge tube and the circulating
gas by performing internal discharge, so that any adsorptive impurities
and any air or water in the oil turn to gas and are released. If the laser gas
circulatory system is exposed to the atmosphere, perform a leak check
before aging.

Alarm No. 4063 [663] Laser power supply unit protective operation or failure
(Refer to DGN 966, 967, 974, 975 [842, 854].)
This alarm is issued, if a fault occurs in the laser power supply unit. The
cause of the fault and the required action are described below.
The laser power supply unit issues this alarm and stops operation to
protect itself, even if a fault occurs outside the power supply. In many
cases, this alarm is issued when the laser power supply is normal. So,
sufficient investigation is necessary. If the power supply is turned on
without removing the cause of the alarm, the alarm will be issued again.
