About
The Universal Laser Systems PLS6.150D is a free-standing platform with a materials processing envelope of 32" x 18" x 9" or 5,184 in³ (813 x 457 x 229 mm or 84,950 cm³) that supports dual lasers. As a dual laser platform, the PLS6.150 can support up to two 10.6µ CO2 lasers with a power range of 10 watts to 150 watts. Additionally, it can support a single 9.3µ CO2 of 30, 50 or 75 watts. (if a 9.3u CO2 laser is installed, only one 10.6 CO2 of up to 75 watts may be installed at the same time.)
Ours has two 75w lasers totalling 150w of power.
The unit was donated from SAIC.
Status
- (2017/05/20) Wiki page created
- (August 2017) Laser donated from SAIC - thank you, Anna Yu!
- (12/2/2017) Hooked up to Epilog air and exhaust connection. The air assist works but does leak using the quick connect fitting, the other fitting requires a 1/2" (I think) screw fitting which will create a better seal. The x-axis is off by ~3/8" , y is off too but didn't measure.
Current status: connected to exhaust and compressed air using the ones designed for the Epilog while the Epilog is out of service. Figuring out authorizations. If you want to be part of that, get in touch with CNC Area Host or folks on the Danger Committee.
Authorizations
Regular authorizations are not being held yet. If you already know how to operate a Universal laser and the required software, please add your name to this page and talk to the CNC Area Host and the usual laser authorizers. We're developing an authorization process and would like your input.
Danger Committee folks from the other laser systems should consider themselves on the Danger Committee for this bad boy, too. Let's get this thing in regular rotation, stat!
