5.4.1 CLASSIFICATION

The classification of lasers is based on the concept of accessible emission limit (AEL), which is

defined for each laser class. The AEL considers not only the emission of the laser produced but

also human access to this emission.

Lasers are grouped into 7 classes: the higher the class, the greater the possibility of causing

damage. The risk to users can be greatly reduced by adopting additional measures of

protection, including supplementary controls, for example, in the form of casings.

The LM-D machine is classified as a class 4 LASER.

5.4.2 GENERAL SAFETY MEASURES AND PRECAUTIONS

In the possession and use of class 4 lasers, the following general precautions must be adopted:

do not view the laser beam directly

use specific precautions for invisible laser light

use observation optics (microscopes, lenses, …) equipped with safety devices (filters,

attenuators)

avoid direct exposure of the eye and skin to direct, reflected and scattered radiation

take particular precautions to prevent fire risks

use any necessary PPE (see Pt. 5.6).

The Operator must follow all the instructions provided and in particular:

wear the PPE and preserve it carefully, checking its condition before and after each use

never observe the laser beam through fibre optics or focusing systems (telescopes,

microscopes, etc.) without the manufacturer’s authorization, nor observe the beam

directly, even if wearing the safety goggles

take care to avoid uncontrolled and accidental reflections (do not wear watches, etc.)

do not remove or modify the protective devices and interlocking devices and do not

perform any operations which are beyond your competence or could compromise safety

notify the manufacturer of any protective devices that are not working or damaged as well

as of any hazards you may become aware of; in the meantime, the use of the machine

must be suspended and any immediate hazards must be eliminated

ensure that the laser, when not in use, is disabled so as to prevent unauthorized use or

accidental switch-on

ensure that the rooms are cleaned only when the laser is switched off.

Visitors must follow the instructions provided by the Manager and Operator, and in particular:

wear the PPE

never observe the laser beam through fibre optics or focusing systems (telescopes,

microscopes, etc.), nor observe the beam directly even if wearing safety goggles

take care to avoid uncontrolled and accidental reflections (do not wear watches, etc).

SAFETY EN 01 28/105


LM-D

5.4.3 HAZARDS RELATED TO THE USE OF A LASER DEVICE

Regarding the risks related to using the laser, in Italy the recommendations contained in the

guides CEI 3849R and 3850R must be followed. In other countries, the corresponding guides in

force must be followed.

The Generator is a class 4 laser device with a high optical radiation power. This laser

radiation has a wavelength of 1060-1070 nm and is located in the infrared area. It is

therefore not visible to the human eye.

This characteristic renders it particularly dangerous in that its invisibility does not allow for

any involuntary defensive reactions of the eye which, if hit, will suffer irreparable damage.

The human eye is particularly sensitive to the risks involved in infrared laser radiation

(invisible), as this form of radiation is particularly concentrated by the crystalline lens and

focused on the retina. Extensive irradiation of the retina produces extreme local overheating

and the burning of retinal tissue which means a partial or complete loss of eyesight.

Thus it is recommended that the personnel, during all operations carried out on the open

laser (adjustment, maintenance, repairs), wear laser safety goggles for the appropriate

wavelength.

In the path of the invisible laser beam there may also be introduced the visible pointer

beam (red) with lower power. If observed for a long time, the secondary visible radiation

may cause dazzling.

DANGER TO THE SKIN

The most appropriate laser safety gloves must be selected based on the indications of

standard EN 12477.

There is danger in case of:

direct laser beam

reflected laser radiation

scattered laser radiation.

The skin can take significantly more radiation than the eye. However, it too is subject to the

risk of the destruction of tissue through burning according to exposure time and intensity of

radiation.

Suitable protective clothing should be worn to protect the skin. Safety gloves offer adequate

skin protection, although direct radiation should be avoided.

The minimum recommended level of protection for the laser in question is:

1064 nm - I 5,0 x 105 J/m2

SAFETY EN 01 29/105


LM-D

DANGER DUE TO SECONDARY RADIATION: During laser processing, as affirmed, both direct

and secondary radiation occurs, with the secondary radiation occurring in the same

wavelength range as the direct radiation.

DANGER TO THE EYES

The instructions of standards EN 166, EN 207 and EN 208 must be followed in order to choose

the most appropriate laser safety goggles. Utmost attention must be paid to the indelible

marking placed on each pair of goggles.

By way of example: D633L5 + DI700-1100L7 indicates that the goggles guarantee protection

for continuous operation (D) only, at the wavelength of 633 nm with optical density 5, and at

the same time in the wavelength interval of 700 nm - 1100 nm both in continuous and pulsed

mode (DI) with optical density equal to 7.

The filters for laser safety goggles are differentiated as follows:

glass filters that offer high levels of protection and optimal light transmittance

polycarbonate filters which are more lightweight than glass filters, offer good levels of

protection and good light transmittance, and can be used with more ergonomic models of

safety goggles.

The safety goggles required for use with the laser provide protection from direct, reflected

and scattered radiation. Avoid looking directly at the beam even when wearing the safety

goggles. Intense laser radiation can destroy the protective filter.

The minimum recommended level of protection for the laser in question is:

1064 nm - IR LB8

In the case of presumed or certain lesions produced by laser radiation:

Turn off the laser

Immediately inform the senior managers, the persons responsible for protective

measures for the laser, the company doctor and the person assigned to laser safety

Consult a doctor or a specialized clinic.

SAFETY EN 01 30/105


LM-D

FIRE HAZARD

The high output power of the laser can burn a large quantity of different materials and

therefore, with open beam path, special fire measures must be taken.

Paper (wiring diagrams, notes or posters hung on the walls), curtains not coated with anti-

inflammatory substances, thin wooden panels and similar materials may all take fire easily on

direct or reflected radiation.

The operations area of the laser beam must not contain containers with solvent substances or

potentially explosive or inflammable detergents even in the course of maintenance.

If there are any solvents or detergents in the area in which the laser is being used, the

respective warnings provided on the containers must be followed.

Should the invisible laser beam at high intensity inadvertently strike one of such containers it

could perforate it and immediately create conditions for a fire to break out or explosion to

take place.

The following extinguishers must be located near the machine and ready for use:

CO2 extinguisher (fire class B) for fires of the dust suction filter or small fires

Powder extinguisher (fire class A, B, C) for the risk of igniting hot waste generated during

the laser processing

A bucket of dry sand (minimum 20 l) or extinguisher (class D) for metal fires.

Combustion due to flames and overheated components:

Keep the fire extinguisher ready

Touch the hot components only with protective gloves on.

Procedure:

Release the shot control

Press the emergency button (if your hands are inside the work chamber)

Switch off the main power switch

Prepare the CO2 extinguishers

Remove the safety system of the CO2 spray extinguisher

Direct the spray onto the flame or into the suction conduit (if present on the system being

used), if the fire has broken out inside the conduit, and discharge the extinguishing spray.

SAFETY EN 01 31/105


LM-D

5.4.4 LASER SAFETY MANAGER

For the use of the Laser Generator, the Company must nominate a person in writing who is

expert in matters of safety of laser devices, and has the function prescribed in the standards in

force in the Country of use. For Italy, the functions of the Personnel assigned to laser safety are

set out in the in the Consolidation Act on Safety at Work, Legislative Decree 81/2008.

The personnel assigned to laser safety must have the required knowledge to evaluate and

check the risks caused by the laser and has the responsibility to supervise the checking of

these risks.

The person assigned to laser safety assumes total responsibility for the safe use of a laser

device and the necessary protective measures required including those involving the safety

and integrity of the personnel assigned to its use.

The training of personnel assigned to laser safety must be guaranteed by an appropriate form

of training by the Manufacturer of the Laser Generator or by Companies with the required

authorization (for example Companies insuring against Accidents in the Workplace).

5.4.5 CONTROLLED AREA

According to standard EN 60825-1, to which the lasers refer, class 4 devices must be used in

well-defined and suitably prepared areas.

The work area must only be accessible to qualified personnel instructed in the use of the laser.

The area must also be enclosed with suitable guards sized according to the parameters of the

laser source.

The access to the class 4 laser zone must be designed so that the opening of the access door or

a mobile guard is detected by a safety system that stops the laser emission before any danger

can be caused to personnel.

The design criteria for this safety system must comply with standard EN ISO 13849-1.

If the presence of an operator is necessary inside the class 4 laser area, personal protective

equipment such as goggles, gloves and other protection should be worn.

The technical features of the PPE must be selected based on the laser parameters and the

operator exposure scenario.

The LM-D Open laser has inputs designed for connection to an interlock on the access door to

the laser area. A further outlet is provided for the installation of an optical warning device near

the access to the area.

Refer to the wiring diagram for more details about these connections.

6 MACHINE DESCRIPTION

6.1 OPERATING PRINCIPLE

The Class IV Nd-Yag (Neodymium-Yag) laser welding machine provides pulsed light at a

wavelength of 1064 nm and a maximum average power of 60-80-85W (according to the

model).

Designed and built for welding or repair work, it welds cracks and marks with or without filler

material. The repaired piece may undergo further mechanical processes for complete

restoration.

The laser technology permits welding in particularly difficult areas and allows weld seams to be

made with smaller cross sections and very high-quality characteristics.

The laser source is designed to ensure high operational stability both at low and at high power.

The laser pulse transport system allows a smaller beam diameter together with greater laser

spot stability, both in starting transients and with various thermal loads on the laser source.

7.6 CONNECTIONS

7.6.1 ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY

In order to operate, the machine must be connected to the electric power supply. This

connection is made with the provided power cord (Schuko plug):

electrical specifications: 1P+PE – 230V – 16A - 50Hz CEE 7-C19

Figure 7-5 Power supply

Connect the power supply connectors of the machine to a compatible industrial socket that

complies with current regulations of the country where the machine is being installed. The

product is switched on by turning the main switch clockwise (B).

The Customer is entirely responsible for the provision of a suitable earth connection system

in accordance with the provisions of the country of use for protection against indirect

contacts.

After the electrical connection has been made, it’s advisable to “protect” the power supply

cable so that it cannot be accidentally damaged during normal use of the Machine.

Connect the power supply connector of the machine to a compatible industrial socket that

complies with current regulations of the country where the machine is being installed.

Ensure the features of the power supply mains and earthing system (safety system) are

compatible with the machine’s rated data.

The power supply system must be adequate to withstand the maximum intended absorption

of the Machine and rated one as set out on the machine’s plate.

CAUTION!

Powering up the machine without cooling water will damage the water pump.

In compliance with standard EN 61000-3-11 and the indicated evaluation criteria, the device

must be connected to a power line with a maximum total impedance from the point of

distribution to the power outlet of 42 mΩ.



LM-D

7.6.2 CONNECTION OF THE EXTERNAL EXTRACTION SYSTEM

During use, welding with the laser generates fumes or vapours that must be removed to avoid

damage to the operator’s health. For this purpose, the product is designed for the removal of

fumes and vapours from the work chamber and their capture by an external extraction system.

An electric control signal for an external system is also provided through a connector

positioned on the rear of the device (A): the parameters for enabling the system and the

operating time can be set through the software (Pt. 8.9). For the electrical connection, use the

following connector model:

Manufacturer Product code

ILME 4 pole male insert CKM 03

Plastic cover CK 03 VS

The user has the task of verifying the compatibility of the control output with the prepared

extraction system. An improper connection could damage the device. For more information,

see the wiring diagram.

In the case of an extraction and filtering system provided by the manufacturer as an accessory

to the device, this will be supplied ready for connection to the interface connector.

Figure 7-6 Fume extraction connector

On the OPEN models in the range, an extraction nozzle can be attached to the provided

attachment in the work chamber. This enables greater efficiency in the capture of processing

fumes and dust. In addition, an attachment on the rear section permits easy connection of the

external extraction system.

The user has the task of positioning the extraction nozzle near the point where the work is

being done.



LM-D

During the laser processing of particular types of metal materials, carcinogenic substances

may be emitted (e.g.: beryllium compounds, chromium/nickel compounds, zinc chromates):

it is recommended that you verify the existence of this potential hazard depending on the

materials being processed.

The user must make the measurements independently and, if necessary, take appropriate

precautions to protect the personnel.

In particular, it is recommended that you evaluate the composition of the fumes when:

processing metal substances treated with cutting oils, since the harmful fumes may

originate from the liquid lubricants themselves: for example, it is common for

hydrocarbons and aldehydes to be released;

processing plates coated with polyethylene films: in this case mainly aliphatic and olefinic

compounds are released (e.g.: methane, toluene, ethylene).

GAS PROTECTION METHOD

For harmful gases, properly sized molecular absorption filters should be prepared and

installed. Class F5-F9 particulate filters are required, tested in accordance with UNI EN 779, or

alternatively, class E10-H14 absolute filters (HEPA type), tested and classified in accordance

with UNI EN 1822.

LM-D

7.8 FILLING THE COOLING WATER TANK

The machine is usually shipped without any cooling water in it. Thus, before starting up the

machine, the tank must be filled with deionized water, using the bottle with doser supplied

with the machine. Only water that meets the following requirements may be used.

Cooling water Deionized water, free from impurities

Maximum conductivity 3 uS/cm

Quantity used 3.5 L

Table 7.4 Cooling water characteristics

CAUTION!

Powering up the machine without cooling water will damage the water pump.

To fill the tank, proceed as follows (Figure 7-16):

Unplug the device from the electrical power socket or disconnect the main supply.

Open the rear access cover (A)

Unscrew the cap (B).

Locate the drain hose with the red cap and extract it (C).

Unscrew the red cap.

Use the dosing bottle to refill until the tank (D) is full.

Check that the water level in the tank is between the minimum and the maximum (D). The

ideal recommended water level is close to the permitted maximum.

If you fill beyond the maximum level, visible through the inspection slit (Figure 7-16 - D),

the excess water must be drained following the instructions in Pt. 9.7.3.

Replace the cap and dry any drops of water that have fallen during the filling operation.



LM-D

Figure 7-16 Water tank cap and level

Prepare the necessary materials in the immediate vicinity of the drain hose to contain any

small spills of water that occur during the phases described below. We recommend the use of

paper towels and/or a small plastic container.

The pump at times may fail to start the flow of water after the tank is filled because of air

bubbles in the system. To prevent this inconvenience, proceed as follows:

Ensure that the emergency stop button in the work chamber has not been pressed

Turn the main switch on the side of the machine to the “I” position

Wait for the display to synchronize

Enable the laser source by turning the key switch

Check the outflow of water from the drain hose.

The pump should trigger the flow of water in the cooling system after a few moments. If this

does not occur, an alarm will be generated within seconds and the pump will be switched off



LM-D

by the control system. To resolve the problem, the operations described above must be

repeated from the beginning, ensuring that all the steps are carried out properly.

Operating the cooling circuit with air bubbles in the system causes damage to the water

pump. It is not advisable to switch the machine on again unless the proper procedure for

filling the tank with water and venting the air from the pipes has been carefully carried out.

When the pump is operating properly, there will be a continuous outflow of water from the

drain hose, indicating that the air bubbles have been expelled from the cooling system.

Immediately replace the red cap by pushing it tightly into the hole.

To complete the procedure, close the access cover (A).



LM-D

7.9 STORAGE

WARNING: Before replacing or cleaning the protective glass, the laser system must be

switched off and the machine must be isolated from the electric power supply by turning off

the switch on the main switchboard.

This operation is carried out whenever, due to the welding of particularly explosive material,

splatters of molten material are produced which soil or damage the protective glass of the

laser lens.

It also has the function of preventing damage to the focusing lens caused by either accidental

mechanical actions or welding fumes that would damage the surfaces of the objective lenses.

Note that keeping the components of the laser optics perfectly clean guarantees optimal, long-

lasting performance and operation of the system, thereby ensuring high-quality welding.

If the glass is only dirty, proceed with the cleaning, but it must be replaced if damaged.

Figure 9-4 Disassembly of the protective glass



LM-D

Figure 9-5 Laser lens protective glass

For the above operations, turn off the generator setting the main switch on the right side of

the machine to OFF.

Open the front door to give easy access to the work area.

Unscrew the ring nut located on the lower side of the objective and visually inspect the

protective glass checking that there are no deep cracks on the surfaces of the glass. When

cleaning the protective glass, use a sheet of special paper for lenses (supplied with the

machine) soaked in solvent (pure acetone).

If the surfaces still contain evident sprays of metal, replace the protective glass otherwise as

the laser beam passes it could cause the glass to break.

9.7.5 REPLACEMENT AND CLEANING OF THE TRANSPARENT SPLASHGUARD GLASS

In order to allow the operator to safely view the interior of the work chamber, the generator

has been equipped with a large protective transparent glass which the laser radiation cannot

pass through, laminated on the internal part of the work chamber to a glass plate designed to

protect the window from splashes, impurities and any accidental mechanical actions which

may occur when positioning the pieces for welding.

The glass plate should be cleaned regularly and replaced when excessively damaged.

The replacement is carried out by removing the upper tabs and lower profile by operating on

the appropriate screws from the interior of the welding chamber.

Figure 9-6 Work chamber protective glass

If the front protective filter (

Figure 9-6) requires replacing, only use an original part.

9.7.6 REPLACING THE AIR FILTER (LM-D, LM-D VISION)

During the welding process, fumes and vapours are released which are suctioned by an

appropriate filtering device inside the work chamber. The filter element is composed of a

spongy filter and metal mesh, and retains the larger impurities. It does not function as an

absolute filter. If welding of items generates poisonous or toxic gases the machine must be

connected to a suitable extraction plant. Replace the filter as follows:

Remove the filter cover mask (with the help of a screwdriver if necessary)

Clean the metal filter and clean or replace the sponge filter.

9.8 SPECIAL MAINTENANCE

Any special maintenance, replacements, overhauls, alignment, cleaning of the optical part and

repairs which may become necessary on the machine must be carried out with the help of the

Technical Support Service by contacting the manufacturer (see Chap. 11).

Failure to comply with the above requirements exempts the manufacturer from any liability

with respect to the warranty.

10 TROUBLESHOOTING

The welder has a self-diagnostic capability which allows it to identify malfunctions by

subgroups. In the event of an anomaly, it is always advisable not to intervene on the machine

without first making the appropriate preliminary verifications or without having the

appropriate skills. We recommend that you contact the Sisma Support Service for information

and support. You may be required, in this case, to provide the number and description of the

alarm displayed on the operator interface. The list of alarms and alerts that may be

encountered is given in the table in the following paragraph.

Note that an emergency situation requires that the machine be restarted, whereas in order to

resume operation after an anomaly it’s sufficient to eliminate the cause and perform the

normal start procedure.

For any defects or machine malfunctions not described in this manual, please contact the

Support Service directly and do not intervene on the machine (See Chap. 11).
