TRUMPF CNC controller based on the
SIEMENS SINUMERIK 840D control system
Layout The layout of the individual system components and the space
required for standard installation of the system are specified in the
respective foundation and installation plan. Also indicated in the
plan is the space required for opening the doors of the control
cabinet, RF generator, exhaust system, cooling unit, and cover of
the laser unit.
Evenness The floor on which the system is installed must be as flat and
level as possible.
The difference in height in the area of the basic machine and
the loading/unloading unit must not exceed 10 mm.
Minor unevenness can be compensated for with adjustable legs
or wedge mounts.
Installation surface The entire installation area for the basic machine and the
loading/unloading station must consist of one continuous floor
plate with a smooth surface between the weight support points.
In the case of newly laid floor/ceiling plates, it is imperative e.g.
in the drying process to avoid setting effects which would
exceed the values indicated below.
Structural stress analysis The load bearing capacity of the floor must be reviewed by a
structural engineer prior to installation. The weights of the individual
system components and the load at the points of support are
specified in the table below.

Tropical version of the laser When the ambient temperature is between +35 C and +43 C the
system must be equipped with the tropical version of the laser.
Control system cooling The control system is cooled in a closed housing by internal air
circulation. This ensures that components are comprehensively
protected against dirt and dust.
The heat dissipation from the control system housings is normally
performed by external heat exchangers with fans which suck in the
air directly and blow it down the cooling units. Make sure that there
is no excessive air contamination in the region of the fan behind the
control system, as dust on the cooling units greatly reduces the
heat transfer.
Damp rooms are not suitable for operation of control systems,
principally because contactor and relay contacts may become
corroded leading to control errors.
Purity

The input pressure at the gas mixer must not exceed >7 bar!

For greater distances, rigid piping of stainless steel or copper (ultra pure gas).

Estimating the gas The expected cutting gas consumption can be approximately
consumption estimated with the aid of the consumption rates for standard and
high pressure cutting presented below. A differentiated estimate for
specific materials and sheet thicknesses is possible with the help of
data collection on your machine.

When using low purity nitrogen, oxygen contamination exceeding 100 vpm may cause discoloration of the cut edges in high
pressure cutting. This can be avoided only by using nitrogen with a purity of 5.0 or by using a cutting gas supply with the
gas tank (the nitrogen purity is generally 5.0 in the gas tank).

Please read the notes under "Central laser gas supply" for
installation and for testing the pressure and seals.
Individual cylinders or Gas supply with pressure reducers for individual gas cylinders
individual bundles or cylinder groups is the simplest and most economical method
of gas supply; because of the high-volume consumption,
however, more handling is necessary.
The gas flow is interrupted when changing cylinders or cylinder
groups.
This supply method is not well suited to N2 high pressure
cutting.

With all gas installations it must be ensured that the gas supply
lines are not placed together with the electrical cables! Otherwise
fire may result if a gas line is damaged by a short circuit or such
like. For this reason the gas supply lines must always be guided
separately to the metal instrument plate!

This is only necessary for special uses; e.g. laser cutting with high pressure oxygen.

The safety pressure regulating station is installed near the tank. This guarantees uniform pressure in the supply network.
The installed safety valve ensures that the gas is blown out of the unit should an error occur. This also prevents danger
arising in the laser system area due to concentration of oxygen (O2) or oxygen depletion (N2).

Residual current protection If a residual current protection system with direct or indirect contact
system is used on the line side, only type B is permitted. See EN 50178
pt. 5.2.11.2 (VDE 0160, April 1998 edition).
If, when using a residual current circuit breaker, the leakage current
of the machine is larger than the set residual current, the machine
and line must be separated with an isolating transformer.
See EN 50178 pt. 5.2.11.1 (VDE 0160)
Network types The machine must be connected via an isolating transformer with IT
and TT network types and with asymmetrical networks (one phase
grounded).

If the rated voltage is 380 V or 415 V at 50 Hz, the tolerance of the network must be determined. If the tolerance is found to
be between 360 V 440 V, an isolating transformer is not necessary.

Tank heating (option) The following applies if the installation is equipped with the tank
heating option at the cooling unit:
The voltage supply must be provided by the customer via a
separate connection on the cooling unit.
In this case, the connected load of the complete system can be
reduced to the connected load of the cooling unit.
The connection cable must be provided by the customer. It can
be connected via the socket of the cooling unit.

requirements:

Requirements for the Demineralized, deionized or distilled water. The cooling water for
cooling water: the machine start-up is to be provided by the customer.
Before being transported to the customer, the cooling circuit
of the laser is flushed with "purest ethylene glycol", if the
following conditions apply:
The machine is delivered between November 1 and April 30.
The machine is transported by ship or plane.
The cooling circuit of the machine must therefore be flushed when
the machine is started up at the installation site. In this case, the
customer must provide 60 % more demineralized, deionized or
distilled water than indicated in the table.

Handling Avoid all unnecessary contact with the water (e.g. with hands).
Contact with foreign substances other than those specified by
TRUMPF impair the quality of the water.
Additional equipment for filling water such as pumps, hoses or
stop cocks should be used exclusively for operation with the
system water.
The demineralized water must undergo a simple inspection
regarding colour, cloudiness and odor before filling.
Colour/cloudiness: Any cloudiness (e.g. caused by
suspended matter, fibres, flock, particles) means that the
water is contaminated. The system should not be filled with
this water in such cases!
Odor: Any deviation from the neutral odor means that the
water is biologically contaminated. The system should not
be filled with this water in such cases!
Outdoor installation of the If the cooling unit is installed outside in areas at risk of frost, the
cooling unit antifreeze "purest ethylene glycol", is added to the cooling water.
The mixture proportions depend on the respective temperature
conditions at the installation site:

The customer must arrange and provide the means to convey the
equipment from the truck to the final installation site.
The transportation path to the machine installation position must be
decided well in advance of delivery. In particular, check gateways,
potholes, boarded cabling excavations, whether the ground is
suitable for supporting armoured rollers etc.
The machine dimensions according to the installation plan should
be taken into account in deciding the transportation path!

Machine start-up The machine started up by TRUMPF specialists. This includes the
installation of the system components in conformity with the
installation plan, connecting the machine to the power supply,
instructing the personnel and testing machine functions.
