# SA Laser Razor-2

## Specs

OPEN PASS-THROUGH DESIGN\ The Open Pass-Through Doors that allows for materials to be easily loaded and unloaded from the laser machine. The Open Pass Though has an adjustable platform height, so it can accommodate a range of different sizes and lengths of materials. It also has a built–in fan to help keep the materials cool during the engraving process. ## Supported Materials for Engraving

## Getting Started PLACE HOLDER FOR USER MANUAL CONTENTS #### Remote Control #### Control Panel #### Laser button #### Exhaust button #### Test-fire Button #### Start Button #### Stop Button ## How to guide 1. Make yourself familiar with the machine controls in ["Getting Started"](#getting-started) 2. Make sure the laser is turned off 1. No illuminated bed 2. No lights on the beacon 3. No Exhaust and Chiller sounds 3. Check the chiller lines are properly secured/fastened at the laser and the chiller itself 4. **A LASER GRADE EYE PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED AT ALL TIMES WHEN OPERATING THE MACHINE.**\ Contact one of our member in house if you don't have one. 5. **THIS CHECK IS MANDATORY BEFORE TURNING ON THE LASER** Open the laser door and check the laser nozzle and make sure the air-Inlet is positioned inwards a.k.a pointing towards the back of the laser like in the picture below. **PLACE HOLDER FOR NOZZLE PICTURE** 6. Close the laser door *and leave it closed.* 7. Using the key turn on the laser 8. Wait for the laser gantry to finish homing procedure and till it returns to previous origin. Gantry will move to x,y origin (top right corners), this will be a slow move, and then gantry moves fast back to the previous job's origin position. 9. Clear (if any) leftover material from the laser bed move the bed (bed moves down towards ground) or the gantry as needed using the remote or the control panel 10. Make sure the lenses and are mirrors are clean If not sure how, ask someone what to look for and how to clean each item. 11. Place your material on the bed Move the gantry as required and after placing your material on the bed you may use the wooden fasters to secure/tie-down your material in place. 12. Focusing the laser on the material Use the [focus-dingus](#focus-dingus) with the laser nozzle like in the picture to align the focus of the laser to the material surface\ The gap between the material and the [focus-dingus](#focus-dingus) shall be very minimal a.k.a no more than what is takes to move the focus-dingus between the material and the laser head.\ **If there exist large gap, laser will not focused on the material and your cut/engrave result will not be as expected** 13. This section assumes you have your design's ready and are already [sent to SALaser's](https://wiki.rivercitylabs.space/tools/lightburn#sending-files-to-the-machine) Control Panel Refer to [Lightburn](https://wiki.rivercitylabs.space/tools/lasers/lightburn) section on our wiki for more info on how to use [LB](https://wiki.rivercitylabs.space/tools/lasers/lightburn) with [SA Laser Razer-2](https://wiki.rivercitylabs.space/tools/lasers/sa-laser-razor-2) 14. Align origin in design with actual laser head's origin position Depending on the origin settings on the LightBurn design, you may to adjust you gantry position to align with your desired laser head origin position. 15. Press the '[Laser button](#laser-button)" and get the chiller going first. 1. This step helps the laser tube to get chilling process first before the laser stars firing 2. Also help auditory that makes sure chiller is turned on before the laser is getting fired 16. Press the "[Exhaust button](#exhaust-button)" and start the exhaust 1. This may start and loud noise, use hearing protection if needed. 17. Move the gantry to your desired position and hit origin on the [Remote Control](#remote-control) or the [Control Panel](#control-panel) 18. To confirm your origin position you may now choose to use the "[Test-fire Button](#test-fire-button)" Note: this will burn the material at the current position of the head with the power setting on the [Control Panel](#control-panel) 19. You may now use the "Frame Button" on the [Remote Control](#remote-control) or the [Control Panel](#control-panel) to see the gantry moving along the largest polygon area bounded by your design. If you wish to adjust your design in LightBurn you will have [to resend the design](https://wiki.rivercitylabs.space/tools/lightburn#sending-files-to-the-machine) If you re-align your material repeat from step 17 20. Once you're comfortable with the power settings and the position of your material hit [start button](#start-button) on the [Control Panel](#control-panel) 21. Once the Job start or if you feel something is quite not right yet feel free to hit the [stop button](#stop-button) to stop your job on the [Control Panel](#control-panel) at any given point in time ## Get Trained before you can Operate Hope you have read through this wiki guide and are familiar with the overall machine and its operation. Get hold of one of members in our [laser channel in slack](https://app.slack.com/client/T046HEHJB/CRU0MGM1P) to get your hands on the machine. ## How to transfer your files ### from RCL Desktop * #### Desktop PC has a mopped drive to the BFL PC where you can use/transfer files to the BFL PC * #### files can be any LightBurn supported files extensions . ## References: #### focus dingus
