− | 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.)

− | | + | * 6/27/2019 Universal was repaired by Scientific Spectrum Midwest to full functionality. Need to fix air supply before the Universal is put back into service. See required parts needed [[Media:Air_Assist_Parts_Assembly.doc ]] See [[Media:2_Table_Calibration_Platform_Lasers.pdf]] and [[Media:5_Cleaning_and_Maintenance.pdf]] for maintenance. If you need to get familiar with the universal, please checkout out [[Media:6_Keep_these_thoughts_in_mind_when_creating_a_drawing.pdf]] and [[Media:7 Laser procedure.pdf]] |

| * (12/2/2017) Hooked up to ex-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. | | * (12/2/2017) Hooked up to ex-Epilog air and exhaust connection.
