Description of the Major Components  
Your laser systems will arrive in several crates. The machine and accessories are packaged in  
one crate. The chiller, dust collection system, gas regulators, and any optional equipment  
(such as transformers or safety mats) will be crated individually.  
The major components are:  
q The machine - includes laser oscillator. Note that several parts including the laser cutting head,  
lenses and nozzles may be inside the accessory crate rather than mounted in place.  
q The chiller - this controls the running temperature of the laser oscillator. Flexible hoses and fit-  
tings are provided to connect it to the oscillator. The chiller can be positioned anywhere within a  
reasonable distance from the machine. For exact distance limitations, see the chiller section (be-  
ginning page 15) or contact Amada.  
q The accessory crates - these crates contain many small pieces of equipment required to install  
and operate the machine.  
q The dust collector - provided to capture dust and particles generated by the cutting process.  
q The gas connection kit - this kit contains regulators, hoses, and fittings to connect the laser and  
assist gas bottles to the machine.  
q The optional transformer 1 - all components except the dust collector operate on 200~220 VAC  
3 phase. If your supply is 230V, 460V or other voltage, a step down transformer will be required.  
q The optional transformer 2 - the dust collector requires 460V, 3 phase. If you do not have 460V  
at sufficient current for the unit selected, a transformer will be required.  
q The Shuttle System - (option) provides rapid transfer of pallet table in/out of the machine.

Laser Pre-mix Gas  
Laser gas quality is critical to the performance and reliability of the laser. Based on our experi-  
ence, we recommend BOC’s LASERSHIELD F or AGA’s LaserMix 21.  
Call either of these national 800 numbers to locate the supplier closest to you.  
AGA Gas Inc.  
BOC GASES  
1-800-837-7226  
1-800- 742-4726 HTTP://www.boc.com  
A two stage regulator and twenty-five feet of hose with 3/8" fittings is provided to connect the  
gas bottle to the laser. If the installation requires a longer length, use Teflon/polyethylene hose  
only.  
IMPORTANT - The installation of your machine can not be completed without the correct laser  
gas. Be sure to obtain at least two bottles prior to scheduling installation. The typical gas bot-  
tle will hold 220 ft3 of usable gas. For the 2000W laser, a single bottle of gas should last one  
to two months on a single shift basis. However, during installation, more gas is used than in  
normal operation.

Laser Pre-mix Gas Specification  
Laser gas quality is critical to the performance and reliability of the laser. Based on our experi-  
ence, we recommend AGA’s LaserMix 21 or BOC’s LASERSHIELD F. If you choose a supplier  
other than AGA or BOC, use the following laser gas specification.  
NOTE: If the gas is not mixed to the required specifications, the laser will not run correctly.  
The laser uses a mix of carbon dioxide (CO2), Nitrogen (N2) and Helium (He) at 28 psi. Give  
this specification to your gas supplier.

Assist Gas Recommendations  
The machine has provision for three kinds of assist gases. The assist gas inputs are at the  
rear of the machine. The inputs are labeled OXYGEN, CLEAN CUT, and AIR.  
Oxygen is normally used to cut steel and stainless steel.  
Nitrogen is used to Clean Cut™ stainless steel and aluminum with an oxide free edge.  
Shop air can be used to cut aluminum at reduced cost (see page 26).  
Two-stage regulators and hoses are provided in the gas connection kit for the oxygen and the  
nitrogen. For high-volume/frequent use, cutting gases should be purchased in liquid form.  
Note that the liquid gases will “boil-off” at some minimum rate, even if not used. Gases which  
are used in low volume or infrequently should be bought in high-pressure bottles rather than in  
liquid form.  
An evaporator will be needed when using liquid high-pressure Nitrogen.  
For usage and pressure requirements, contact Amada America’s Laser Group.

Oxygen Purity  
When cutting carbon steel with oxygen, higher purity means higher speed.  
“Increasing the oxygen purity from 99.7% to 99.9% resulted in a cutting speed increase in ex-  
cess of 10%.” according to the BOC article referenced below.  
For a great discussion on assist gas purity, see BOC article - gases and lasers J T Gabzdyl &

Planning The Location of the Machine  
The diagrams following provide the details for positioning your new machine.  
q No obstacles are allowed in the table travel area, and the machine must be at least 3 feet from any  
wall or obstruction, and the ceiling must be at least 40" above the top of the machine.  
q The machine must be placed on a single continuous foundation (see Machine Foundations section).  
q In addition to the maintenance areas recommended, ensure that  
(1) the doors of the NC and Laser cabinets are unobstructed,  
(2) the chiller airflow is unobstructed, and  
(3) the NC unit is protected from direct sunlight.  
q The positioning of the chiller and dust collector are flexible. Please see those sections for details.

The Chiller  
The chiller is very important to the reliable operation of your laser cutting machine.  
q The chiller must be placed so that an adequate flow of air is maintained.  
q The positioning of the chiller is flexible. Two lengths of flexible hose and appropriate fittings are  
provided for connection to the system.  
q If you plan to hard plumb the system, use only Brass, Stainless Steel, and/or Plastic.  
Black steel or Galvanized pipe and fittings are not permitted.  
If the system is hard-plumbed, the total restriction of piping and fittings must not add up to more  
restriction than the standard flexible hose and fittings would have.  
q The chiller is a closed loop system, but requires periodic addition of water and/or additives to re-  
place evaporative losses.  
q The chiller must be filled with proper coolant mixture. See page 7 for details.  
DO NOT FILL THE CHILLER WITH CITY WATER, OTHERWISE SERIOUS AND  
EXPENSIVE DAMAGE MAY BE INFLICTED ON THE LASER OSCILLATOR

Dust Collectors  
The dust collector is very important to the  
safe operation of your laser cutting machine.  
It will collect dust and particulate generated  
by the laser cutting process.  
More than one dust collector type is available  
for the machine. Either unit, in standard con-  
figuration, is suitable for cutting most metallic  
materials. Neither one is suitable for cutting  
non-metallics for an extended period. Addi-  
tional filters or alternate venting is generally  
required when cutting non-metallics.  
q The positioning of the dust collector is  
flexible. The dust collector is connected  
with twenty feet of flexible hose and ap-  
propriate fittings.

Machine Foundations  
The machine must be properly secured to a suitable foundation. If an existing floor is used, it  
must be capable of supporting the weight of the machine. The load bearing and vibrational  
secifications are listed below.

It is the purchaser’s responsibility to determine the necessary thickness of the foundation con-  
crete to meet these requirements.  
OTE: The machine does not require any special foundation to produce accurate parts, but the laser  
N
and machine may not stay properly aligned if not properly supported and anchored. Improper support  
(floor cracking/motion) will result in more frequent service needs and reduced machine life.  
A preferred foundation is given on the following pages.  
Please note the following:  
q The machine must be placed on a single continuous foundation. (This means no cracks or voids  
in the supporting slab)  
q The base plates, anchor bolts, nuts and washers for the machine are provided in the accessory  
crate.  
q Make sure that the machine will not be exposed to excessive external vibration. If the machine is  
located near a punch press, stamping press, large shear or other vibration source, it may be nec-  
essary to cut the foundation around the laser or provide additional isolation.  
q Do not install the machine where it is exposed to direct sunlight or any other heat source.
