Using pipes for the water supply
Note the following aspects when using pipes.
Recommended materials:
Stainless steel (1.4301 as per EN 10027-2)
Copper
Keep in mind that copper pipes should not be used in
a water circuit in which metal parts in contact with
water with a negative standard potential (e.g., alu-
minum) are located. There can be a redox reaction
that can cause metal parts with a negative standard
potential to corrode.
Unsuitable materials:
Normal steel
Galvanized steel
Recommendation for the pipeline dimensioning:
Laser cooling circuit: 8 m³/h at Δpmax = 0.5 bar
Optics cooling circuit: 2 m³/h at Δpmax = 0.5 bar
ð Note the following points when connecting the water supply:
• Work on the cooling water distribution may only be performed
by IPG service personnel or specially trained experts.
• An insufficient supply of cooling water can lead to damage to the
laser or the optics.
• Installing bridges or bypasses, etc., is not permitted since the op-
timal cooling of individual components cannot be guaranteed in
this case.
ð When connecting, observe the following values according to the
supplied technical data:
• Water flow
• Water pressure
• Water temperature
The product is a model without integrated laser chiller. The laser must
be cooled by an external cooling system. The cooling water is distrib-
uted to the laser modules inside the product. The water connections are
located on the rear of the product.
