====== Trotec Speedy 100 Laser Cutter====== ^ Trotec Speedy 100 ^ | {{ :tools:trotecspeedy:trotec_speedy.jpg?nolink&200 |}} | | **Tool Type:** Laser cutter | | **Location:** Elings 3430 | | **Description:** Laser cutter and engraver | | **Manufacturer:** Trotec | ---- ===== About ===== The Trotec Laser Cutter uses a 30-60W CO2 laser to cut and engrave various materials. It utilizes CorelDraw as a 2D sketch manager, which is then imported into Trotec's specific cutting software. CorelDraw can be used to create the 2D sketch, however importing a DXF file or PDF into CorelDraw from Solidworks or other CAD packages is preferred due the CAD packages integrated features and functions. ---- ===== Safety Concerns ===== This laser engraving system contains a class 4 carbon dioxide (CO2) laser that emits intensive and invisible laser radiation. Without safety precautions the direct radiation or even diffuse reflected radiation is dangerous! * Always wear safety glasses when using the machine. * Always work with the machine cover closed. * NEVER leave the laser machine alone when running a job. If you do need to leave, make sure there is someone else nearby who is aware that it is on and cutting. * The machine door must be left open while you are away. * Do not store any flammable materials in the inside of the device or in the immediate vicinity of the device. * Remove leftovers of previously produced materials before running a job. * A fire extinguisher/fire blanket must always be handy as the laser beam can ignite flammable materials. * Metals, particularly un-coated aluminum, copper in particular, silver and gold, cannot be processed with the laser and lead to high reflections of the laser beam. If needed, metals can be coated with a paint/tape which chemically bonds to the surface when engraved. * Before processing materials the user must verify whether harmful materials can be generated and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the harmful materials. * PVC (polyvinyl chloride) must under no circumstances be processed with the laser. * Looking directly into the laser can cause retinal damage. * Confirm that the fume collection system is running whenever the laser is cutting or engraving. * Whenever heat is a concern, please use the nitrogen air assist. This includes cutting features with high surface density, or cutting materials that like to melt, such as delrin. ---- ===== Training Documentation ===== [[Laser Cutter Training SOP]] ---- ===== Detailed Specifications ===== * Working area (W x D): 24 x 12 in * Max. height of workpiece : 5.2 in * Loading area (W x D): 27 in x 17 in * Overall dimensions (W x D x H): 40 x 31 x 40 in * Max. processing speed: 1.8 m/s * Max. acceleration: 1,969 ipsĀ² * Technology motion system: Brushless DC servo motors * Laser power CO2: 30 - 60W * Laser class:2 * Weight: 150 kg * Power consumption: 1 ~ AC 110-230V 50/60Hz, 1.3 kW (60 watts) ---- ===== Reference Documentation ===== {{:tools:trotecspeedy:marking_tape_notes.pdf|Marking Tape/Paint}} {{:tools:trotecspeedy:atmos_compact_operationmanual_v1_13_gb.pdf|Atmos Compact Operation Manual}} {{:tools:trotecspeedy:servicemanual_8003v14.pdf|Service Manual}} {{:tools:trotecspeedy:synrad_laserprocessingguide_plastics.pdf|Plastic Processing Guide}} {{:tools:trotecspeedy:trotec_job_control_software_manual.pdf|Job Control Software Manual}} {{:wiki:sop_s:methylene_chloride_sop.pdf|Bonding Acrylic with Methylene Chloride}} [[Laser cutting data]]
