2. Setting the Laser Light Delivery
This laser can output single laser light to multiple optical bers or to a single
optical ber by the functions of the built-in beamsplitter and timesharing unit.
This section explains the sharing specications of this laser.
Laser Light Sharing
The laser light sharing specication is divided into powersharing and timesharing.
At powersharing, laser light is split into multiple beams by beamsplitter and then
transfer them to multiple optical fibers to perform welding at multiple points at the
same time. Since laser light is split into multiple beams, the respective laser outputs
become weak.
At timesharing, a single laser light reected on the mirror of the timesharing unit is
transferred to a single optical ber to perform welding. A selected branch shutter is
opened, so that laser light is output as 100% energy without being split.
The ML-2050A/2051A/2150A main unit is provided with a branch shutter with
opening/closing sensor and a timesharing unit according to the sharing specication.
At delivery, a sharing method is initially set by the DIP switch of the main unit.
For this laser, the following 5 types of sharing specication are available.
Sharing method
Corresponding
model
Single: Output to single optical ber ML-2□5□A-010
2-powersharing: Output to 2 optical bers at the same time ML-2□5□A-020
3-powersharing: Output to 3 optical bers at the same time ML-2□5□A-030
2-timesharing: Output to one optionally selected out of 2 optical bers ML-2□5□A-002
3-timesharing: Output to one optionally selected out of 3 optical bers ML-2□5□A-003
At the above timesharing, as soon as the branch shutter is opened after "BEAM-1" to
"BEAM-3" are set to ON, the timesharing unit is automatically operated to split laser
light.
Laser light can also be output by a sharing method other than the above so that the
timesharing unit may not be operated even when the branch shutter is opened. For
this purpose, set the independent control of the branch shutter by the DIP switch built
in the main unit and then set the branch shutter and timesharing unit to be operated
by operating the DIP switch.

Branch Shutters Independently" on page 81.
