Laser Cooling Requirements and
Operating Temperatures
Epilog laser systems use air-cooled laser tubes. Laser technology is such that the
laser tubes generate heat and the tubes must be cooled in order for them to operate
correctly. There are cooling fans located on the bottom left side of the system and
cooling vents that are located all along the left side. The fans and vents should
always be clear of restrictions and should never be covered.
Warning: The cooling fans and vents should never be covered or blocked in any
way. Lasers that overheat will not operate properly and may begin to produce
erratic laser output or possibly complete failure.
Use compressed air to remove any dust buildup on the fans or the laser cooling
fins.
Ambient air temperature where the laser system is operating should not exceed 90
degrees F (32 C). Operating in an environment where the ambient air temperature
is above 90 degrees F (32 C) will void the Epilog warranty.
The laser cooling fans and vents
are located along the bottom left
side of your machine. Do not
block this side of the laser system
by placing it against a wall of other
obstacle.
