Coherent Metabeam 400 is a versatile cutting and drilling machine widely used in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical. The machine employs Coherent E400 and Coherent J5 Co2 lasers, which require maintenance for optimal performance. This technical paper aims to explain why Photovac Laser Worldwide should provide customer maintenance for Coherent Metabeam 400 machines.
The Coherent Metabeam 400 machine is equipped with a y transition rail, x transition rail, and an attached focusing head with a 5 inch focusing cutting lens. The machine uses water to cool the laser from a water chiller. Additionally, it has an air hydraulic locking system that locks the cutting table in place and a nitrogen system to purge nitrogen through the cutting nozzle. The Metabeam machine is powered by 220vac 3phase AC voltage. The Coherent E400 laser and Coherent J5 laser are powered by a 200amp, 48-volt direct current power supply. There are also 12-volt direct current and 5 volt direct current power supplies that run the computer, relays, and other logic circuits.
Reasons for Customer Maintenance: There are several reasons why Photovac Laser Worldwide should provide customer maintenance for Coherent Metabeam 400 machines.
1. Increased Machine Performance: Regular maintenance of the Coherent E400 and Coherent J5 lasers will ensure optimal performance of the machine.

8. Maintenance of the Coherent E400 and Coherent J5 lasers: The Coherent E400 and Coherent J5 lasers are the most important components of the Coherent Metabeam 400 cutting and drilling machine. The proper functioning of these lasers is essential for the efficient operation of the machine. Regular maintenance of the lasers is required to ensure that they operate at their optimum level. This maintenance should include cleaning the mirrors, checking the alignment, and replacing worn-out parts. Photovac Laser Worldwide has the expertise and knowledge to perform this maintenance.
9. Maintenance of the water chiller: The Coherent Metabeam 400 cutting and drilling machine uses water to cool the laser. The water chiller is an essential component of the machine, and regular maintenance is required to ensure that it operates efficiently. Failure to maintain the water chiller can result in the laser overheating and malfunctioning. Photovac Laser Worldwide has the expertise to maintain and repair water chillers, ensuring that they operate at their optimum level.
10. Maintenance of the air hydraulic locking system: The air hydraulic locking system is used to lock the cutting table in place. This system is essential for the efficient operation of the machine. Regular maintenance of the air hydraulic locking system is required to ensure that it operates efficiently. Failure to maintain this system can result in the cutting table moving during operation, which can damage the machine and produce substandard cuts. Photovac Laser Worldwide has the expertise to maintain and repair air hydraulic locking systems.
11. Maintenance of the nitrogen system: The nitrogen system is used to purge nitrogen through the cutting nozzle. This system is essential for producing high-quality cuts. Regular maintenance of the nitrogen system is required to ensure that it operates efficiently. Failure to maintain this system can result in poor quality cuts, which can lead to material waste and increased production costs. Photovac Laser Worldwide has the expertise to maintain and repair nitrogen systems.
12. Maintenance of the electrical system: The Coherent Metabeam 400 cutting and drilling machine is powered by a complex electrical system. The system includes a 220vac 3phase AC voltage, a 200amp, 48-volt direct current power supply for the Coherent E400 laser and Coherent J5 laser, and 12 volt and 5-voldirect current power supplies for the computer, relays, and other logic circuits.
13. In conclusion, providing customer maintenance for Coherent Metabeam 400 machines is essential for optimal performance, safety, regulatory compliance, and expertise. The Coherent E400 and Coherent J5 lasers require regular maintenance to ensure they are functioning correctly, which will reduce the likelihood of machine breakdowns and production delays. Additionally, maintenance will ensure that all safety systems are functioning correctly, which will reduce the likelihood of accidents or injuries caused by the machine.
