GAS REQUIREMENTS

GAS	PURITY	CONSUMPTION
Oxygen (Mild Steel Cutting)	99.95%	40 ~ 350 scfh @ 140 PSI 19 ~ 165 L/min @ 9.5 Bar
Nitrogen (Stainless, Aluminum Cutting)	99.8%	320 ~ 3000 scfh @ 300 PSI 150 ~ 1400 L/min @ 20 Bar

NOTE: Customer shall install and utilize bulk liquid and bulk liquid nitrogen storage tanks. Using portable tanks for O₂ or N₂ will create additional chances of contamination entering the gas supply lines and the cutting head due to frequent tank changes. Contamination will cause cutting head lens failure and thus cause machine down time and additional operating expense.

1. Ambient temperature between 10° and 40°C [50° and 104°F]
2. Relative Humidity at 95% or less

NOTE: Piranha requires that the LASER and chiller remain on at all times to avoid costly damage from condensation.

REMOTE CNC CONTROL STATION

The Remote CNC Control Station is located at the rear of the LASER enclosure and includes dual monitors and a keyboard. The main CNC control screen and video feed is mirrored. This system allows for LASER operation when loading or unloading the pallets.

LAMINAR FLOW BOX

Piranha recommends an optics servicing area to be located away from manufacturing areas. This area must have minimum air movement and a dust free environment. For best results, we recommend purchase of a laminar flow box located in an office area.

NOTE: Optics contamination is the leading cause of premature cutting head failure. It is important that optics, such as cover slides, are changed in an extremely clean environment. This area will also be used for on-site cutting head maintenance (to be done by our technicians).

AIR CUTTING ASSIST GAS COMPRESSOR SYSTEMS

Oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) are the most common assist gases used when cutting metals with a fiber LASER. Air is a combination of both O2 (21%) and N2 (78%), small amounts of argon and carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases and water vapor.

Air cutting provides many of the benefits of N2 cutting along with increased cutting speeds in thicknesses 10ga (0.135″) and thinner and significantly lower cutting gas costs.

Air used in LASER cutting must be available with the correct purity, dryness, pressure, and flow. Typical shop air compressor systems are unable to deliver the air quality and performance necessary. A dedicated air compressor system is required.

NITROGEN GENERATION SYSTEMS

Nitrogen generator is the separation of air components to capture nitrogen. Nitrogen makes up 78% of the gas in the atmosphere. The rest is 20.9% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide and trace gases such as hydrogen, helium, neon, krypton, and xenon. For industrial laser cutting equipment, PRESSURE SWING ABSORPTION (PSA) is used to provide the high pressures and flow rates required.

NOTE: The maximum flow rate and purity required depend upon the cutting application and edge quality expectations. Other nitrogen generation systems are available to meet different requirements. Please contact Piranha for more information.

DUST COLLECTION SYSTEMS (STEEL CUTTING ONLY)

TOPSINN TODC-6L

A TopSinn 6-filter TODC-6L dust collector is available in lieu of the standard fume exhaust fan. The TODC‑6L features include:

• Integrated industrial made from high-quality cold-rolled steel plate with electrostatic paint finish
• American HV filter element with quick release design
• High-efficiency high-speed motor with built-in controller
• Low noise, high efficiency, low energy consumption
• No scheduled maintenance
• Dynamically balanced high-speed vortex fan

SPARK ARRESTING SYSTEM FOR CUTTING ALUMINUM

The standard dust collector supplied with the machine is adequate for mild  steel and stainless steel cutting. A spark arresting system can be installed  between the laser and dust collector to enhance dust collection safety when cutting aluminum. The TODC-6L dust collector is required for this option.
Piranha suggests that you and your insurance provider review the pertinent NFPA standards prior to making any decision about aluminum dust collection and handling methods when cutting both aluminum and steel/stainless steel on the same machine. Pertinent NFPA standards include, but are not limited to, NFPA 484, NFPA 654 and NFPA 68.

CAM PROGRAMMING AND NESTING SOFTWARE

CNC Programming of the Piranha LASER requires CAM software capable of supporting the advanced functions of the machine. The customer is responsible for all costs associated with the development of any new post processor from their selected CAM software vendor. Piranha will provide any information required for the post processor development and will verify that the NC code samples created by that post processor are functional. Requests for information and NC code samples for testing must be received by Piranha eight (8) weeks prior to the scheduled machine shipment.

If extra start-up time is required by Piranha to work with the CAM provider and to test the NC code during or after the machine installation, the additional Piranha service time and expenses will be invoiced to the customer at Piranha’s standard service rates.

RESONATOR RENTAL PROGRAM

Piranha E-Series lasers include rack mounted resonators. In the rare instance where repair is required, the resonator will be removed from the LASER and shipped to the resonator manufacturer for repair. The Piranha E-Series laser will be inoperable during that period. The RESONATOR RENTAL PROGRAM is designed to provide a loaner resonator in those instances.

FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS

No special foundation is needed for the Piranha LASER. Standard concrete floors of a minimum 150mm (6”) depth are recommended. Flatness should be within 12mm (0.5”). There should be no expansion joints, saw cuts, or cracks in the floor beneath the frame of the LASER.

HEXAVALENT CHROME RISKS ARISING FROM STAINLESS STEEL CUTTING

Hexavalent chrome (Cr(VI)) is a known occupational carcinogen. Lung cancer is the greatest health risk. Other respiratory problems and skin reactions can also occur with prolonged exposure.

A high-efficient cartridge-style dust collector best captures hex chrome. Baghouse and electrostatic precipitators do not offer high enough filtration efficiencies to remove this contaminant to standards.

Minimum Efficient Reporting Value (MERV) represents the worst-case performance of a filter when dealing with particles in the range of 0.3 to 10 microns. Higher MERV ratings indicate greater efficiency. A MERV rating of 15-16 will capture 95%+ of particles. A HEPA filter rated at 99.97% efficiency at 0.3 microns will capture 9.997 or 10,000 same sized particles.

INSTALLATION

Installation is included with the purchase of a Piranha LASER.

TRAINING

Training will take place at the time of installation and will cover the operation of the machine, best practices for programming and applications, and basic preventative maintenance. All programmers, shift operators, and maintenance personnel for the machine are asked to participate in this training.

WARRANTY

Warranty period is one (1) year, except as otherwise noted. LASER resonator manufacturer’s warranty will be passed through to the customer, but in no event will be less than one (1) year.

PHONE SUPPORT

Phone support will be provided for the life of the machine at no additional charge.

SHIPPING SUMMARY

Shipment is ExWorks Rockford, IL, USA.

Shipping arrangements will be made by Piranha unless alternative shipping is approved in writing by Piranha at least two weeks prior to the scheduled machine shipment date. Alternative shipping arrangements must comply with all Piranha shipping requirements.
