(hereafter refered to as Amada Laser Systems), and is intended for the private use of its customers. Any reproduction without the expressed written consent of Antada Laser Systems ts prohibited.INTRODUCTION ‘The LC 644 and LC 667 ‘Type I machines are identical in all aspects of purpose and intent. The only differences are in physical size and position of a few machine components that have no effect on actual machine performance. ‘The drawing that follows this page shows an overhead view of the general machine shape of both machines, with such items as the work clamps, the work chute, and a few other items clearly marked, For the actual axis dimensions of either machine, see page 8, the G92 command. On the drawing, the X shows the point of contact between the laser beam and the material, Note the position relative to the work chute. While the ‘beam position is in the center of the chute in the X axis, its only three and one half inches (3.5") from the closest edge in the Y axis. Because of this, and depending on the program, the finished part may not necessarily be in the center of the work chute. This must be taken into consideration when using the commang that opens the work chute. ‘The two circles on either side of the X represent the position that the work holders will contact the material. The distance from the center of the cutting head to either side is eight inches on the LG 644 and ten inches on the LC 667. This must be taken into consideration when performing any repositioning moves. Finally, one note regarding the programming for these machines. The Fanuc 6M does NOT recognize decima’ points. Because of this, trailing zeroes are required as place holders. The number of trailing zeroes varies depending on the command being used. Please refer to the chart on page 8 for the number of zeroes required, and note that the number of trailing zeroes may vary for the same prompt letter depending on the command being used.WORK CHUTE ° ° WORK CLAMPS : a —-— 4 a NO FOR Lo 644 X- GAUGE BLOCK LASER, mWSECTION ONE GENERAL MACHINE COMMANDSG CODE LISTING & DESCRIPTIONS G20 oz Gao oat oan G51 POSITIONING MOVE (RAPID TRAVERSE) STRAIGHT LINE CUTTING CLOCKWISE ARC CUTTING COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ARC CUTTING DWELL INCH MODE METRIC MODE CUTTER COMPENSATION - CANCEL CUTTER COMPENSATION - LEFT CUTTER COMPENSATION - RIGHT ‘SCALING EXACT STOP CHECK MODE CONTOUR CUTTING MODE SER MACRO - SINGLE CALL USER MACRO - MULTIPLE CALL CANCEL PREVIOUS MULTIPLE CALL (G66) ABSOLUTE PROGRAMMING INCREMENTAL PROGRAMMING ABSOLUTE ORIGIN POINTG00 _ POSITIONING MOVE (Rapid Traverse) This command moves the table to the designated X and/or ¥ location at maximum table speed. Note: 1) Each axis moves independently, so the material path is usually not a straight line, 2) Maximum table travel is 945 Inches per minute. 3) Once a GOO ts commanded, it will stay in effect until a GOI, G02, or G08 cancels tt. |GO1 STRAIGHT LINE CUTTING This command is used to cut material in a Straight line at a commanded feedrate. The X and/or Y values specified determine the endpoint of the cut. Note: 1) Afeedrate must be commanded on or before the first GOI, G02 or GO3 command in a program. 2) Once a GO1 ts commanded, it will stay in effect unt a GOO, G02, or G03 cancels tt. GO2 CLOCKWISE ARC CUTTING ‘This command {s used to cut material in a clockwise arc at 2 commanded radius and feedrate. The Xand/or Y values specified determine the endpoint of the cut. The R value specified determines the radius of the cut. Note: 1) Afeedrate must be commanded on or before the first G01, G02 or GO3 command in a program. 2) Ithe radius is greater than 180 degrees, the R-value must be negative. 3) Once a G02 ts commanded, tt will stay in effect until a GOO. GO1, or G03 cancels tt.Pea ines Yen FoR Phpitewptiaie PEEP RATES 1.7 CIRCULAR INTERPOLATION (G02, G03) The commands G02 and G03 are used to cut in a circular arc, and can be used in ABSOLUTE (G90) or INCREMENTAL (G91) mode. G02 commands a clockwise arc, and G03 commands a counter- clockwise acc. The cutting speed will be determined by the current F code. 1.7.1 ARC END POINT The end point of an arc is specified by X and ¥ coordinates. In INCREMENTAL mode, the coordinates of the end point are specified as seen from the start point of the arc. 1.7.2 ARC CENTER POINT The arc center is specified by ths address 1 for the x axis and J for the ¥ axis. The numbers following I and J are vector components looking "toward the center of the arc™ from the start point, and are always specified cs INCREMENTAL values, independently of G90 or G9i. The command format is as follows: Ir J I J Section 1 Page 6|GO3 COUNTER-CLOCKWISE ARC CUTTING This command Is used to cut material in a counter-clockwise arc at a commanded feedrate and radius. The Xan4/or¥ values specified determine “Uhe endpoint of the cul. The Rvalue spect'ied determines the radius of the cut. Note: 1) A feedrate must be commanded on or before the first GO1, G02 or G03 command in a program. 2) Ifthe radius ts greater than 180 degrees, the R value must be negative 3) Once a G03 Is commanded, it will stay in effect until a GOO, GOI, or G02 cancels i. G04 DWELL PAVSE ‘The dwell function stops the machine for a specified period of time. Note: 1) The time period of the dwell is determined by the X value specified on the G04 tine. 2) When the time period is over, machine operation will start automatically. Use extreme caution when using the Dwell function. 3) The minimum dwell value {s 0.001 second. G20 INCH MODE ‘This commana tells the machine that all following coordinates are in Standard American English values. G21 METRIC MODE ‘This command tells the machine that all following coordinates are in Metric values.SAVE OUTS 19E 1.8.4 More about cutter compensation When an offset (D_) value is specified in a program, that value is not used directly as an offset amount. Rather, it selects an offset from the cutter compensation file in the NC control. The offset amounts are set in memory by AESI in 001 inch increments as shown below. They can te viewed or altered in MDI mode by selecting the OFFSET display. Normally the values should remain as set, but if a program has many offset start/cancels, or if it must be run in tape mode, then the offset(s) used may be changed in the NC control.

Use the cursor key to select the offset to be changed, then hit P, then the amount, then INPUT. The new offset value will be displayed on the screen. 1.8.5 Offset vector The “offset vector" is used by the NC control to determine the actual table path while cutting. it is equal to the amount in the file called by D_ , and the direction changes as the cut progresses. For further informaticn on the actual offset path under various conditions, see “details of cutter Compensation", in section six of this manuel. Section 1 page 11G40 CUTTER COMPENSATION - CANCEL ‘This command Is used to cancel any previously commanded G41 or G42, Note: 1) Normally place this command on a line with a GOO. without an X or Y. G41 CUTTER COMPENSATION - LEFT This command will offset the beam to the le‘t of the programmed direction of travel, This ts done to compensate for the width of the cut Note: 1) This command should bt called on th: same line as the positioning move prior to the start of cutting. 2) A"D" value must be specified. 3) Please refer to the description of D Cod n page 11 for further details. G42 CUTTER COMPENSATION - RIGHT This command will offset the beam (o the right of the programmed direction of travel. This is done to compensate for the width of the cut. Note: 1) This command should be called on the same line as the positioning move prior to the start of cutting. 2) A"D" value must be specified 3) Please efer to the description of D Codes on page 11 for further details.SCALING COMMAND’ s (651/650) Format: GS11_ Scaling Mode 650 Scaling Mode Cancel The Scaling command G51 enables the programmer to increase or decrease the size of the programed part by @ scaling factor of 1 to 99999 (1 unit equals 9.01). The scale factor is specified by P whereas P1009 = ratio, P2500 = 2.5:1 ratio, P25 = 1:4 ratio and so on. I and J are the respective X and Y coordinate values and represent the scaling center point, generally the 1 and J values are omitted and the present coordinate is set to the sealing center point. Scaling does not effect cutter compensation ode so the normal offset values apply. Normal Scale Half Seale (PS0a) Scaling is ineffective in manual and home return. mode, but is effective in manual, MDI and tape mode. G51 should only be commanded when in G4@ (cutter compensation cancel) mode and must be canceiled by G5® (scaling cancel) command before the following commands can be issued, 625 Repositioning, G93 & G74 Origin Point Offset, * GS2 Home Retract, P9076 Multiple Part and P9073 Mirror Imaging. It is recommended that the original G51 scaling point is re-established before G5Q is issued.

Note: 2) G61 must be canceled before cutting any blended radi or using any User Macro Program, 2) Once G61 is commanded, it will stay in ellect until a G64 command cancels it. G64 CONTOUR CUTTING MODE ‘This ts the default cutting mode for the macitine. No position verification is, required prior to movement towards the next programmed position. This mode fs in effect until changed by a G61 command. G65 USER MACRO - SINGLE CALL This command ts used to call the pattern or reference User Macro programs. (P. 9026, 9028, 9029, 9036, 9037, 9073, and 9096). Note: 1) Please refer to the specific call in the User Macro Section for proper programming format.a ® Gl USER MACRO - MULTIPLE CALL ‘This command {s used to call the hole cutting User Macros (P..9011, 9012. 9013, 9014).

G INCREMENTAL PROGRAMMING | » ‘This command tells the machine that each coordinate in the program is in reference to each previous coordinate. Note: ) This command is normally included on the G92 block.G92 ESTABLISHING COORDINATE SYSTEM ‘The G92 command is used once. at the top of the program. This command tells the machine the maximum dimenstons of travel, or Absolute Origin Point for each axis of travel ‘The Absolute Origin Point for the X aiid Y axes correspands to the corner of the shect of material closest to the junction of the Work Clamps and the X-Gauge Block. This point never changes. Please consult the chart below for the correct dimensions for your machine. Machine Type Xaxis Yaxis 9 2=aa/s LC 6441 Bor soar 4 F7 1c 6671 72.07 60.00" Note: 1) ‘The G92 command must be immediately followed by the appropriate X and ¥ values, all on the same block of information. TRAILING ZEROS As stated before, the 6M control requires trailing zeros as placeholders. instead of decimal points. The number of trailing zeros required does vary depending on the prompt, and what the prompt is being used for. For instance, the G92. command mentioned above requires X and ¥ prompts to know what the machine dimensions are. These X and Y prompts are for distance and require three trailing zeros (IE: One inch fs written as X1000 and 0.01 inches ts written as X10). The chart below shows the number of zeros required for the diferent prompts, depending on how they are used.

PROGRAM NUMBERS Each program must be assigned a number, prefaced by the letter "O". This number is used to separate the up to 95 different programs that can be stored in memory at one time. Note: 1) Any number from 0 to 8999 can be used, except for 100. SS CODES FOLd ER. S codes are used to command the Output Power of the Laser. Note: 1) S codes are valid only when the Tape Control button on the NC Unit Control Panel is fluminated, 2) The S code value is an arbitrary number. The actual output power must be determined by commanding the desired S code in M.D.L., and observing the result. 3) The output power determined by the S code may vary somewhat from day to day and will change from machine to machine. F F CODES Ej ‘This command is used to specify the cutting feedrate. Note: 1) In Inch Mode, the feedrate is in inches per minute. 2) In Metric Mode. the feedrate Js in millimeters per minute. 3) An F code must appear on or before the first line of cutting or first ‘macro call in any program. 10D CODES These vahies are used to specify the amount of offset when using Cutter Compensation Left or Right, or when using a Hole Cutting Macro. Note: 1) With G41 or G42, the amount of offset is determined by the corresponding setting on the Tool Compensation Offset Page. 2) With the Hole Cutting Macros, the amount af offset 1s determined by the actual D value specified in 1/1000 of an inch (fi: D1 equals an offset of 0.001 inches, D12 equals an offset of 0.012 inches). These Macros are always cut in a Counter-Clockwise direction. If the D value 1s positive, compensation is to the left. If the D value is negattve, compensation is to the right, 3) The smallest input value for D is 0.001 inches. 3 END OF BLOCK “This symbol is used to separate one block of information from another. /___ BLOCK SKIP If the Block Skip button is illuminated, any block of information with this ‘symbol at its beginning will be ignored.

This ts done without loss of registration of the worksheet. Note: 1) An M61 must be commanded prior to the reposition. 2) The Work Holders rust have solfd matertal underneath them to insure a good hold on the worksheet. Ifnecessary, you can move the material with a GOO prior to the reposition. 3) The maximum distance that you can reposition is equal to the Absolute X position of the carriage at the time of the reposition. In other words. ifthe position of the carriage. relative to the G92, is 25.678 inches at the time the NC reads the G25 line, the maximum distance that you can reposition 4s 25.678 inches. If you command more than that dimension, the carriage will overtravel, 4) No other information can be on the G25 line except the X dimension. G50 HOME ORIGIN RETURN ‘The command G50 will cause both axes to move from their current position back to their Home Origin position. This has the effect of referencing the X and ¥ axes and establishing the G92 values for the work coordinate system, In addition, the Scaling Command (G51) is cancelled by this command. Note: 1) No other command can be on the G50 line. 2) An M61 must be commanded prior to a G50. 15G72 PATTERN ORIGIN Establishes the origin point used by the pattern macros. Note: 1) The G72 command must be immediately followed by the appropriate Xand ¥ values, all on the same block of information. 2) The origin point for an Arc or Bolt Hole Circle pattern is the center of, the Arc or Bolt Hole. 3) _ The origin point for a Grid or Line at Angle pattern is the center of thefirst hole to be eut. G93 ORIGIN POINT OFFSET (From G92) ‘The G93 command establishes a Reference Origin Point, relative to the Absolute Origin Point, anywhere within the limits set by G92. This 1s done for ease of programming. Note: 1) The G93 command must be immediately followed by the appropriate X and ¥ values, all on the same block of information. G94 ORIGIN POINT OFFSET (From G93) ‘The G94 command will establish a new Relative Origin Point, relative to the previous G93 command. Several G94 commands can be used in any program, each adding incrementally to the previous one, Note: 1) The G94 command must be immediately followed by the appropriate X and Y values, on the same block of tnformation.P CODE USER MACRO LISTING & DESCRIPTIONS POOL.

In doing so. you will learn the order in which some of these commands must appear. A brief description accompanies each command as it is used, For a more detailed description, refer back to the previous sections, In this first example. we will be programming Part No. 1 on page 45. and assume we are cutting this part out of a three foot square sheet of 16 gauge mild steel The first line of any program ts the program number. In this case we will use 00001, as it 15 the number of our first part, The Program number is always followed by an End Of Block, to separate the program number from the rest of the program. 00001; The next fine in the program combines two commands. The first is either G90 or G91, Absolute or Incremental Programming. In this case, we will program in Absolute, G90. ‘The second command Is the G92 statement, to establish the Absolute Origin Point. The X and Y prompt on this line depends on the machine type. 00001; G90 G92 X_Y_; ‘We will now use the G93 statement to establish where we will cut this part on our worksheet. Let's say we will cut in the upper, left hand corner of the sheet, with a one half inch border between the edge of the sheet and our part. 00001; @a0 G92 X_Y_; G93 X500 ¥29500; Let's quickly review what we have done so far. We have titled our program, defined the total area we have to work with, and identified our Absolute Origin Point. Finally, we have set up a Reference Origin Point on the worksheet at the same point that we want to cut our part. This allows us to program the part using just the actual dimensions of the part. ‘We are now ready to move the machine and cut the part.Our next line will use a Positioning Move command to locate the point at which we want to start cutting, directly under the cutting head. If we start cutting on an actual edge of the part, that edge may have a mark where the beam pierced the material. To avoid this. we always start the cut slightly off the edge of the part.

[1] The laser ts in Standby (the Standby button on the Laser Interface Controt Panel is Wuminated) and the pressure in the chamber is down to minimum (below 1.5 TORR on the LCD display on the rear panel of the ‘Spectra Physics unit). [2] The Machine Control Panel Circuit Breaker is turned off, {3] ‘The Dust Collection system is tured off (the Operation light on the Dust Collection Control Panel ts out) 14} The Chiller is turned off. [5] The Laser Gas botties and Assist Gas bottles are all turned off at the main regulators for each bottle. [6] The Focus Lens is removed and placed in its protective case. 17) The Cutting Head is removed and is sitting on the table. ‘The following steps will bring your machine back up to full operation. {1} Open the regulators on all Laser Gas bottles. Laser Gas regulators, should be set to 80 psi. Open the regulators on the Assist Gas bottles ifyou are preparing the machine for standard cutting operations. [2] The Jaser gas lines should be purged by pulling up slightly on the laser gas pop-off valves inside the horizontal cabinet of the Spectra-Physics unit ‘These are the three brass valves connected by clear hose to the incoming laser gas lines. Allow gas to flow for at least five seconds. {3} Clear any Interlock Status Alarm on the Spectra Physics Control Panel that is causing the Interlock Summary Indicator to illuminate by pushing the Interlock Reset Button. The Pressure Low light will remain illuminated, however the Interlock Summary Indicator will go out atAcceso? [4] Press the Ready button on the Laser Interface Control Panel. The chamber will begin to fill with gas. [5] Turn on the Chiller. The chiller should be set to deliver water at 70 degrees F. Refer to your chiller operation manual for the procedures to set, chiller temperatures. {61 Tur the Machine Control Panel Circuit Breaker on. I7\_Push the On button on the NC Control Panel. After a few seconds, the CRT will display the Position page 18] Remove the Focus Lens from its protective case. Before installing the lens, it should be inspected and, if necessary, cleaned. Install the lens by screwing tt into the lens mount until finger tight. DO NOT overtighten and be careful not to touch the lens surface. [9] Inspect the cutting head, particularly the inner and outer nozzles, for cleanliness and damage. Install the cutting head, being careful not to damage the focus lens in the process.

After a few moments, you will see the Amperage Indicator will change to ‘ead 005.0 Amps and the Laser Power Indicator should display power. The Volts Indicator should read between 1350 and 1550 volts, once the laser has stabilized, NOTE: 1) If the Volts Indicator reads above 1500 Volts, the laser can be mun, but the AE.S1l. Laser Service Department should be contacted for suggestions. Ifthe Indicator reads above 1550volts, push Laser Off, Standby, and Ready on the Laser Interface Control Panel. Once the Ready light remains continuously lit, repeat step [17]. If the voltage ts stfll above 1550 volts, push Laser Off and Standby. and contact the AE.S1. Laser Service Department. 2) If the Volts Indicator reads below 1550 Volts, look at the discharge ‘through one of the view ports in the back of the laser. The discharge should be pinkish-purple. It may flutter somewhat, but should be stable for the most part. Occasional flashes of white indicate instability. Large, green, "running" ares can cause damage to the system. Ifyou observe either white flashes or running ares, push Laser Off, Standby, and Ready. on the Laser Interface Control Panel and begin the process again. ‘Once the laser discharge 1s stable (as described above). you are ready to proceed with standard operation. Check the Slow-Fill Valves on the rear panel of the Spectra-Physics Unit for the proper settings about ten minutes after start-up. Remember to check these settings periodically throughout the day. 43AFTER SHORT TERM SHUTDOWN The following conditions are normal after a short term shutdown (E: shutdour during a break period or during lunch time). [i] The laser ts in Ready (the Ready button on the Laser Control Panel is Mluminated). [2] The high voitage is turned off (no discharge in the chamber} 13) The Programmer Control Indicator on the Spectra-Phystcs Control Panel will show 005.0, but no power will shou on the Laser Power Indicator. [4] The NC Control Panel is on (the N/C Ready Status Indicator) on the Machine Control Panel ts ‘Huminated), but the CRT screen is blank. [5] The Chiller ts turned off. ‘The following steps will bring your machine back up io full operation. Rocen® [1] Push the Reset button on the NC Control Panel. This will bring the CRT back up. [2], Tum on the Chiller. 13] Push the Interlock Reset button on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel to clear the supply water low alarm, Ifyou have any other alarms. check the cause of the alarm before preceding. [4] Push the Laser On button on the Laser Interface Control Panel. After 2 few seconds, the Amperage (L/R) Indicator) on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel will read 005.0 and the Laser Power Indicator on the sarne panel will show power. [5] Push the Start button on the Dust Collection Control Panel. Once the Ready Light on the Dust Collection Control Panel illuminates, you ‘may proceed with the cutting opertion.AFTER LONG TERM SHUTDOWN The following conditions are normal after a long term shutdown. or after cleaning the cathode. In this condition, the machine is in total shutdown. These conditions will exist to insure that during this time, the machine in general, and the laser chamber tn particular, will not be damaged. [1] The laser would be filled with Nitrogen to atmospheric pressure. This can be confirmed by the Analog Gauge on the Vacuum Panel of the ‘Spectra-Physics unit, which should read close to "0". [2] The Manual Vacuum Valve on the Vacuum Panel will be closed. [3] The Spectra-Physics unit Circuit Breaker will be turned off, [41 The Machine Control Panel Circuit Breaker will be turned Off. (S]_ The Chiller wal be tured off, [6] ‘The regulators on all gas bottles, laser and assist, will be closed. The following steps will bring your machine back up to full operation. [11 Tum the Vent/Run/No-CO2 Switch on the rear panel of the Spectra- Physics unit to No-CO2. [2] Turn on the Spectra-Physics Circuit Breaker. 13] Push the On/Off button on the Spectra-Physics pane}. You should see the Standby button on the Laser Interface Control Panel uminate and hear the Vacuum Pump start. [4] Open the Manual Vacuum Valve. The needle on the Analog Gauge on the Vacuum Panel should start moving counter-clockwise. [5] Open the regulators on all Laser Gas bottles. Laser Gas regulators should be set to 80 psi. Open the regulators on the Assist Gas bottles if you are preparing the machine for standard cutting operations. as6} The laser gas lines should be purged by pulling up slightly on the laser as pop-off valves inside the horizontal cabinet of the Spectra-Physics unit. ‘These are the three brass valves connected by clear hose to the incoming laser gas Iines. Allow gas to flow for at least five seconds. {71 Clear any Interlock Status Alam on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel that is causing the Interlock Summary Indicator to illuminate by pushing the Interlock Reset Button, The Pressure Low light will remain fluminated, however, the Interlock Summary Indicator will go out. {8} Press the Ready button on the Laser Interface Control Panel. The chamber will begin to fill with gas. [9] Turn on the Chiller. The chiller should be set to deliver water at 70 degrees F. Refer to your chiller operation manual for the procedures to set chiller temperatures. When the Ready lght on the Laser Interface Control Panel ts lit continuously. you may proceed with the following steps. These steps are known as the Burn-in procedure and may be found in greater detail in the Spectra-Physics 820 Operators Manual. [10] Push the Laser On button on the Laser Interface Control Panel. After a few moments, you will see the Amperage Indicator on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel change to read about 2.7 Amps. The Volts Indicator will change to a value that should be no more than 1550 volts. If the Volts Indicator reads above 1550 Volts once the laser stabilizes, push the Laser Off, Standby and Ready buttons on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel. When the light in the Ready button stops flashing, begin again at step [10]. When the Amperage and Volts Indicators read appropriately. proceed with the following steps. [11] Push Clear Entry on the Spectra-Physies Control Panel. [12] Push Enter Program on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel. f13] Enter * on the Number Pad on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel [14] Push ‘*" on the Spectra-Physics Control Panel. ‘The Programmer Control Indicator and the Amperage Indicator should both read 005.0 (The Amperage Indicator will vary 0.1 Amps). The Volts Indicator should stay below 1550 Volts. The Laser Power Indicator should read 0000. “6
