About the PLH3D-CNC Universal Laser Adapter

The key function of the PLH3D-CNC Adapter is to “arm” and “disarm” the laser head. Arming means turning the head power supply on; the armed head is then able to generate laser beam. Disarming (turning the head power supply off) brings the laser head in a safe state where generating laser beam is fully impossible.

The laser head may be checked by generating a short laser pulse at maximum power.

Built-in safety means prevent misuse and unexpected behavior at emergency. The key switch protects the laser head against arming by children and other unauthorized persons. Arming the laser head is always done manually by the user, by pressing a button. A special circuitry prevents arming at any malfunction of internal electronics. The laser head is being automatically disarmed in case of emergency: loss of the mains supply, PSU failure, breaking or disconnecting the laser head cable. After disarming, the system remains in a safe state and rearming always requires pressing the button by the user.

Key features of the PLH3D-CNC Adapter:

• Soft start for diode protection
• Indication LEDs - power, armed, laser working
• Build-in microcontroller - watchdog
• Two programmable enable inputs
• Two external safety terminals (for example: safety key, E-Stop)
• Automatic disarm after power off
• One second laser test
• Compatibility with the PLH3D laser heads
• Keylock for preventing use by unauthorized personnel
• Machined aluminum quality enclosure
• One button system (arm, test and setting of enable modes)

Caution:

• Remember that it is not a toy.
• Laser radiation is dangerous even when scattered or reflected from any surface.
• Always use proper protection laser filter on your CNC machine dedicated to 430 - 480 nm in order to avoid reflected radiation.
• Never point laser head at people or animals.
• Do not touch the beam, it may cause burns or another injury.
• Do not stare at the beam or the beam spot while the material is being cut.
• Laser radiation - Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation. 
• Class 4 laser product.
