Hello everyone.

00:00:03,000 - 00:00:09,089

Let's demonstrate how to setup and use CNC router machine and CO2 laser machine combo?

00:00:13,151 - 00:01:39,412

Check all the accessories with the CNC router laser machine:

a. Two low-power water pumps: One is used for spindle cooling and the other is for laser tube cooling.

b. One high-power water pump is used for tool cooling.

c. One small air pump is used to blow the nozzle when laser engraving and cutting.

d. One laser tube, check the package, contact us for exchanging in time when it is damaged.

e. The tool box includes CNC router controller (DSP), tool sensor, user manual, allen wrench, spare limit switch, different types of tool holders, spindle wrench, and material pressure plate.

00:01:52,185 - 00:02:00,047

Take out the laser tube and assemble it on the bracket.

00:03:45,987 - 00:03:50,609

Check if the laser tube outlet is clean.

00:03:53,257 - 00:03:58,284

Point the light exit of the laser tube toward the reflector.

00:04:18,488 - 00:04:24,933

The distance between the laser tube and the mirror is about 100-200mm.

00:04:40,054 - 00:04:48,422

Connect the cooling water pipe.

Dip the hose with lubricant or water and fully connect the hose to the interface.

00:04:52,204 - 00:04:58,516

Then turn the laser tube so that the water inlet is downward and the water outlet is upward.

00:05:07,999 - 00:05:12,621

Put a soft sponge into the bracket and fix the laser tube.

00:05:31,083 - 00:05:40,767
