Laser Welder (1200w)

Hardware

1. Space Requirements

Please prepare sufficient space for the xTool Metalfab laser welder.

2. Electricity Environment

• Please confirm the maximum load capacity of your circuit:
  a. If used in a fixed location, an electrician should verify the voltage and current-carrying capacity of the site's wiring.
  b. If the requirements are met, an electrician can connect the power cable terminals to an air switch that meets the full power usage requirements.
  
• If using a mobile power source, ensure that:
  a. The output power of the mobile power source can reach 4200W or more.
  b. The mobile power source has a socket that meets this power requirement.
  c. The laser welder needs to be connected to a plug that meets the requirement of max. current.
  d. The laser welder requires an electrostatic grounding wire to be connected (the mobile power source does not have grounding).

Must-know Safety Notes:

• The electricity circuit must be operated and installed by a qualified electrician.
• Ensure that the current-carrying capacity of your circuit meets the requirements. Do not connect the product to a standard household circuit, as it may damage both the product and the circuit.
• Ensure that the welder is powered separately. Do not use it with other high power equipment on the same circuit.
• To ensure safety, it is recommended that you install a 30A/50A circuit breaker between the power supply and xTool MetalFab Laser Welder 1200W according to your electrical environments. Please refer to local electrical safety requirements to choose the breaker. (xTool MetalFab 1200w laser welder has a 25A breaker inside the machine. )

3. Gas Preparation

For welding and handheld cutting or cleaning, here's the general suggestion.

9. Welding wire

• xTool MetalFab laser welder comes with a spool of 1mm stainless steel wire for stainless steel welding.
• Please prepare the appropriate welding wire for other materials.

• Please choose welding wire of proper diameters for metals of different thickness

CNC Cutter

The MetalFab CNC cutter can't work without the MetalFab laser welder.

Hardware

1. Space Requirements

• The whole packaging dimensions are 59.06 in × 44.49 in × 43.70 in (1500 mm × 1130 mm × 1110 mm) , the cutter dimensions are 46.38 in × 45.59 in × 48.43 in (1175mm × 1157mm × 1230mm).
• Please ensure to reserve at least 39.37in(100 cm) of space on all four sides when unpacking.
• Please reserve at least 11.81 to 19.69 in(30-50 cm) of space at the front and back for heat dissipation.
• Additionally, space for the gas generation device must be reserved (cutting requires the use of gas cylinders, a gas generator or an air compressor system). For xTool solution, the air compressor demensions are 18.11 in × 20.87 in × 10.63 in(460 mm × 530 mm × 270 mm), the air dryer dimensions are 15.83 in × 13.98 in × 8.94 in (402 mm × 355 mm × 227 mm).
• Note: The CNC cutter supports passthrough function allowing for processing longer materials. If needed, please reserve space in advance.

2. Drawer Protection Materials

• The thickness of the sand should be >= 3mm, the recommended particle size is 1-3mm; the thickness of the water should be >= 10mm.

• The metal plate can be 2mm stainless steel; do not use aluminum, brass, or other highly reflective materials.

3. Electricity Environment

• xTool MetalFab CNC Cutter requires 2.5 A, 100 V – 240 V single phase AC power.
• xTool MetalFab laser welder operates at full power with approximately 4200W, the maximum current is 21A. It is recommended that users connect it to an independent circuit of 220V-25A or higher.
• xTool air compressor requires 220V, 10A, 2200W rated power. The air dryer requires 220V, 1.73A (EU/UK) or 110V, 3.45A (US), 380W rated power.
• The electricity circuit must be operated and installed by a qualified electrician.

4. Gas Preparation

• For CNC cutting, nitrogen/argon/oxygen/compressed air are usually used for differnet scenarios.
• If you use the air compressor, please add an air dryer to ensure dry, clean air going into the airline.

5. Pressure reducing/regulator valve

• Please prepare a pressure regulator valve that has a range of over 174 PSI (1.2MPa) to adjust the input gas pressre of the laser welder when use nitrogen/argon/air to cut or clean.
• You can also prepare a pressure regulator valve to adjust the gas pressure more conveniently. The regulator is always installed before the laser welder.
• Note: To install the pressure reducing/regulator valve on the gas cylinder, you will need an adjustable wrench and teflon tape (to prevent gas leaks).

Air Compressor & Air Dryer

1. Space Requirements

• The air compressor dimensions are 18.11 in × 20.87 in × 10.63 in (460 mm × 530 mm × 270 mm), and the air dryer dimensions are 15.83 in × 13.98 in × 10.91 in (402 mm × 355 mm × 277 mm).
• Please use them indoors.

2. Electricity Environment

• xTool air compressor requires 200-240v voltage, 2200W rated power. The air dryer requires 100-240v voltage, 380W rated power.

3. Safety and Maintenance

• Always turn on the air dryer before using the air compressor, and release any residual air from the compressor tank before turning off the air dryer when not in use.
• Release the air from the compressor tank when not in use.
• Do not touch the machine head while the air compressor is in operation.
