1 Summary
This manual includes the general description, basic installation, factory settings, operation
and maintenance services, and other aspects of the BD04K series products, which have too
many optical and mechanical customization configurations, so only the main parts will be
introduced in this manual.
The BD04K series laser heads are auto-focusing tube laser cutting heads for fiber laser,
which were released by Switzerland RAYTOOLS AG in 2021. The products are equipped with
external servo motor drive units, which use a linear mechanism to drive the focusing lens to
change position in the range of about 30 mm automatically. Users can use the program
settings to achieve continuous adjustment of the focus position to complete the rapid
perforation of thick plates and automatic cutting of different material thicknesses of plates. The
products can be equipped with D30 composite lens groups to integrate the beam. Diversified
interface configurations can be adapted to a variety of fiber lasers. The optimized optical and
water-cooled design allows the laser heads to work under high power for a long time
continuously and steadily.

 Collimating centering module: Can collimate the incident laser into a parallel beam and
adjust the beam spot from the center of the nozzles;
 Focusing driver module: The collimating beam is focused into a small beam spot which
has high power density, and the focus position is adjusted by the driver automatically;
 Protective lens module: The protective lens protects the focusing lens from damage by
returning slag and prolongs the service life of the focusing lens;
 Nozzle module: guide the focus beam to workpiece and generate high velocity jet cutting
to achieve high quality cutting.

2 Mechanical Installation
2.1 Mounting Holes
The size of the mounting holes and position of the BD04K tube laser cutting head are
shown in Figure 2.1. To ensure high-quality cutting, we recommend that you install the laser
head vertically into the processing area and lock it into place.
Note: The z-axis motor slide plate (for fixing the laser head) and machine tool must be
fully conducted to make sure they are properly grounded.
Figure 2.1 – Mounting Holes
2.2 Connecting Gas and Water
2.2.1 Connecting the Cooling Water System
The BD04K laser head has an integrated water-cooling design. You can choose any
connector on the water circuit as an inlet or outlet. It is important to note that when the laser
power is greater than 500W, we recommend you enable water cooling. As you can see from
Figure 2.2, the position and quantity of the water connectors are listed, and Table 2.2 shows
the recommended water flow rate.
3 / 25
Figure 2.2 – Water cooling circuit and gas circuit
Outer Diameter of Water Connector 6mm

Min. flow rate 1.8L / min (0.48gpm)
Entry pressure 170-520kPa (30-60 psi)
Entry temperature ≥ room temperature / dew point
Hardness (relative to CaCO3) 250mg/liter
PH range 6 to 8
Max. size of solid particles 200 microns
Table 2.2 – Basic technical requirements of water cooling
This cooling water system is closed-loop cooling water system. You can use an external
free water supply by following to the requirements listed above.
2.2.2 Connecting the Auxiliary Gas System
The impurities in cutting gas such as hydrocarbons and water vapor can damage the lens
and cause laser power fluctuation as well as inconsistencies between the sections of the
workpiece. The table below shows the recommended cutting gas specifications. The higher
the purity of the gas, the better the quality of the cutting sections.
4 / 25
Gas Purity Permitted water vapor (ppm) Permitted hydrocarbon (ppm)

Oxygen 99.95% <5 ppm <1 ppm
Nitrogen 99.99% <5 ppm <1 ppm
Argon 99.998% <5 ppm <1 ppm
Helium 99.998% <5 ppm <1 ppm
Auxiliary Gas Pipe Diameter (Outer Diameter) 10mm
Impurities can be filtered out in gas supply pipes, but oxygen and water vapor can
permeate beam paths through non-metallic materials, which is the source of dust and
hydrocarbons. We therefore recommend that you only use stainless steel fittings. At the same
time, filters must be used to remove a minimum of 0.01micron particle.
It is recommended to use a pressure gauge with a stainless-steel diaphragm. If a rubber

diaphragm is used, hydrocarbons will be generated due to aging and other factors.
Note: To avoid any gas path block (which may cause damage to the cutting head and
result in low-quality cutting), please do not replace the gas connector arbitrarily. Using
sealing tape or sealing material to seal the fittings is not permitted!
2.3 Cable Connection
This section only introduces the cable connection of the cutting head. For wiring diagram
from laser head to CNC (I/O) or height sensor kit, please refer to the relevant manuals.
2.3.1 Connecting Cables to Laser Head
Connect the 8-pin connector (on laser head) with power limit cable; connect the 12-pin
connector (on laser head) with encoder cable (as shown in Figure 2.3). After reserving a
suitable length, insert the cables into the machine tool cable crawler groove and fix them
properly.
5 / 25
Figure 2.3 – Connecting cables to laser head
2.3.2 Connecting Cables to Servo Driver
Connect the power limit cable and encoder cable to the corresponding interfaces on driver
according to the cable definition (see the cable).
Note: The limit sensor is in low-level normally closed output mode (the sensor outputs a low-
level signal when it is not triggered); if necessary, you need to install a relay for conversion.
Note: All cables should be connected in the power-off state, and the power-on debugging
can be performed after the cable connection is checked.
2.4 Fiber Connector Introduction
BD04K is suitable for most industrial laser fiber. It is equipped with a collimating lens
assembly.
The connecting part between the fiber end and the laser head is called the fiber connector.
The commonly used fiber connector is QBH, and each fiber connector has its own unique
fixing method. Please refer to the relevant introduction for the use of fiber connectors. Figure
2.4 shows the mounting interface of the QBH connector.
Warning: The optics must be kept clean and all dirt must be removed before connecting.
To prevent any falling dust or dirt getting into the fiber connector accidentally, we
recommend that you connect the laser fiber when optics are in horizontal place.
6 / 25
2.5 Connect the Laser Fiber to the Laser Head and Do Direction Adjustment
In this section, the connection method between fiber laser and laser head will be
introduced by combining the case of QBH connector.
Figure 2.4 - Installation: Laser fiber (e.g., QBH connector)
First, align the red point at the end of the QBH connector with the red point of the
handwheel; then remove QBH protective cap from the QBH connector. Make sure that the red
mark of fiber output end is aligned to QBH red mark, insert the fiber interface straight to bottom;
Then turn the QBH handwheel clockwise. It is in place when you hear the "Da" sound, then
pull the handwheel up and turn clockwise again. (See Figure 2.4).
When the laser fiber is inserted into the QBH connector, the red point on fiber is too far
away from the red point on laser head interface, causing an out of alignment insertion. You
can refer to the steps below to adjust the position of QBH connector on laser head to solve
the problem.
As shown in Fig. 2.4, loosen the 4 locking screws of the part with a wrench, rotate the
QBH connector, then tighten the locking screws after the red mark is in place.

4 Beam Adjustments and Focusing
4.1 Adjusting the Laser Beam (QBH interface)
The cutting quality depends largely on whether the lens is centered or not. If not, the laser
beam may fall on nozzle inside to produce high temperature deformation. Lens centering
operation should be carried out when nozzle is replaced or the cutting quality is decreased.
Lens centering of the BD04K laser head can be done by adjusting the position of the
collimating mirror in the X-Y direction. The X-Y adjusting screws are shown in Figure 4.1. An
inner hexagon spanner can be used to loosen or screw the adjusting screws until the laser
beam is in the middle of the nozzle opening. Tape dotting method is commonly used here:
 Take a piece of transparent tape and stick it directly below the center tip of the nozzle;
 Turn on the red guiding beam of fiber laser to observe the relative positions between
nozzle tip center and red beam. Adjust the red beam spot to the center of the nozzle
opening by adjusting the X-Y screws;
Figure 4.1 - Beam centering
 Next, enable the laser source and set the laser power to the range of 80w-100w to dot
manually; Take the tape off to check whether the hole is in the middle of the nozzle opening;
14 / 25
 Repeat the above steps until you find the best centering position. Basically, this beam
centering operation requires several adjustments.
4.2 Focus Position Adjustment
The BD04K is an auto-focus laser cutting head, but manual doting must be taken into
consideration when carrying out any adjustments (factory setting performing, lens
replacement, laser source replacement, etc.). This is to find the correct focus position.
Pls do as follows to dot manually.
 Adjust the laser head scale to the max. value and set the laser power range to 80w-100w.
 Enable the laser to dot on the textured paper in a movement of 0.5mm (as small as
possible) per time.
 Performing several dotting until find the smallest hole, this is happened when the focus is
exactly at the nozzle tip. Now we find the zero-focus position.

5 Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning the Lens
Regular maintenance of the lens is required considering the processing technology of

laser cutting. We recommend that you clean the protective lens once a week. The protective
lens holder has a drawer structure to facilitate lens maintenance. (Figure 5.1)
Lens cleaning:
a. Tools: dust-proof gloves or fingerstall, long fiber cotton stick, ethanol, rubber gas blower.
b. Cleaning instruction:
 Put your thumb and index finger with fingerstall;
 Soak the cotton stick in ethanol for a while;
 Hold the slide edge of the lens with thumb and index finger gently. (Note: do not touch
the lens surface in case stain);
 Hold the lens in front of your eyes with your finger and use the cotton stick to clean the
lens in a single direction, from left to right, from bottom to top, (do not wipe back and
forth so as to avoid secondary pollution of the lens). Then blow away the dirt with clean
air (both surfaces should be cleaned). After cleaning, make sure that there is no residual:
detergent, absorbent cotton, foreign objects, and impurities.

 Do capacitance calibration once again after replacing the nozzle or ceramic part.
5.4 Error Analysis and Diagnostics of Driver
5.4.1 Driver Failure Analysis
The initial interface of the servo is displayed when the motor is powered on.
The display of L___0 means that the difference between the given pulse and the feedback
pulse is 0.
21 / 25
 If the motor is moving normally, this value will change in real time according to the position
of the motor, and the value will be 0 after the motor is stable; it means that the wiring is
correct and the server is working properly;
 If this value stays same at 0, and the motor does not move; it means the servo has not
received the given pulse, and it is necessary to check whether the control cable is in good
contact;
 If this value keeps increasing or decreasing, and the motor does not move, it means that
the servo has received the given pulse but has not received the feedback pulse from the
motor. It is necessary to check whether the power cable and the encoder cable are in good
contact. Or whether the motor reaches upper and lower limits so that the motor cannot
move;
 When the value increases to 6000 or decreases to -6000, the servo will trigger protection
and go to error. The interface will show Er_020. When the driver fails, the driver will stop
and prompt the corresponding error code. The error can be cleared only by restarting the
driver.
