I like working on bystronic, I need an independent mitsu tech for a friend w a fiber laser.
thanks

the open source crowd is playing with high power fiber lasers. I'm concerned about safety for everyone involved. In the USA we have more lawyers than smart people. This could be very bad for our industry. How do we solve this? I'm sure it's coming, how do we get ahead of this issue? I see a...
What would be the best way to get an operational education on fiber laser safety? What does OSHA and the FDA (and any other 3 letter gang)expect? and does anyone have some real world examples?
If someone were to build a custom fiber laser cutting system, what is the most economical path to...
I have a plasma table running twincat on windows XP. my IT people say XP has to go. It looks like theres 2 propriety pci cards in what seems to be an old pentium 4 computer. one card looks like some kind of keyboard/mouse/monitor extender, BECKHOFF CP9035 and the other is an optical interface...
Anyone have a source for the bearing cartridges in the 3 stage becker blowers like used in Prima and Bystronic laser resonators?

Does anyone know of an independent technician that would know about an LVD laser punch combo machine about 15 yrs old?

I have a few customers who are N2 cutting w a laser assist ha ha I mean N2 assisted laser cutting. They go through a lot of N2. If you are finding high N2 consumption and/or have to turn the N2 pressure up higher than normal, here's a simple test- take a nozzle, seal the opening up, then put it...
When you do any repair on the shuttle tables or anything that likes to wad up parts and break bolts- DO NOT put harder bolts in! If the bolts want to break, find out why, and until you find out why do yourself a favor and let the cheap bolts break. If you use hard bolts, not only are they...
On the newer lasers we use networked PLC nodes. This saves a lot of wiring as only a power and data lead needs to be run around the machine. I've been having issues with this, specifically the power bus. Barley getting 18 volts at the end of the line w 24 volts in. This really freaks out the...
it's been hot and humid out. Check your dehumidification/cooling systems.

Failure to do so will lead to failure of things that are way more expensive than the dehumidification/cooling system repairs.
If you don't know, have a pro look it over.

Just a heads up. many laser cutting systems use an electronic regulator to control the assist gas. These regulators have a vent, when they go bad, assist gas can build up and if it's O2 all it takes is one spark. Had a flash explosion from this last week, rattled the building. The regulator on...
I've been helping my customers through some unreasonable parts policies (see thread title!). The trend most manufacturers are following is to try to restrict sales of certain parts under the guise that it's way too dangerous and risky for a machine owner to do his own repair. I was told this is...
Every year when it gets hot and humid everyone finds out that their cooling system/humidity control/Ac units on their machines are not up to par. A hot resonator works like crap and eats transmissive optics- like the output window. A wet resonator likes to have high voltage arc through o-rings...
Can anyone recommend a good reliable CF card? It has to be bootable ie seen as a fixed disk. Scandisk and transend used to allow you to configure this via an applet but it's not possible anymore as far as I know. I am currently using 20 gb SLC SATA solid state drives. I'm running a stripped...
I have a friend with a CP 4000 prima. It has a becker turbo like the ones used in the Bystronic. The problem is this customer had to put 4 sets of bearings in the turbo in only 5 years. Is this normal? we get pretty good lfe on the bearings in the beckers used in the bystronic and I think it's...
