About

The BOSS LS-3655 is an industrial CO2 laser engraver with a 36" x 55" bed, supporting over-sized material pass-thru on four sides and up to 7 inches of table depth. Originally shipped with 100W tube, but that has been replaced with 150W tube in May, 2017.

Status

  • (2017/05/20) 150W Tube & Power Supply installed. Alignment & focusing pending.
  • (2017/06/12) The laser has been aligned and focused. 2" Laser lens focal depth set to 5.1mm.

Authorizations

If you have already been authorized and experienced with the smaller Epilog Mini laser, have familiarized yourself with the RDWorks software, understand the safety requirements for lasers, are somewhat familiar with Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, and the ai, dwg and dxf file formats, and understand the current procedures for starting the exhaust fan and compressed air sources for the Epilog, I have been and will be conducting limited number authorization sessions conducted. Email rdoeksen@gmail.com for an appointment, until other authorizers also start taking appointments. Until the Boss is properly focused, results will be slightly less amazing than they could, but you can get a provisional authorization, meaning I will want you to check back in with me after your first few laser jobs to make sure you are competent and comfortable working with this new machine. You can also contact me about meeting my prerequisite requirements - they are my requirements, not everyone's, but if you meet them the authorization session can be efficient and thorough. - Ray D.

Settings

  • Honeycomb vs. Aluminum Lamella : The honeycomb is used for engraving and pieces that benefit from precise leveling. Use the aluminum lamella (slats under honeycomb) for cutting through to reduce flashback and improve airflow (warning small pieces will fall through).
  • 4" Lens Focus Depth 38.5mm (this is a just an approximate, FD calibration must be performed each time the lens is changed)
  • 2" Lens Focus Depth 5.3mm (this is a just an approximate, FD calibration must be performed each time the lens is changed)

Procedures

Powering On Machine

  • Release Emergency Stop button
  • Turn power key
  • Turn on Air Assist & Water Chiller switch & ensure both are functionion

Aligning Materials

  • The table is not aligned with the laser's X-Y axis
  • To align your material use the laser pointer by holding one axis constant while moving along the other axis to align corners of your material

Resources

Authorizations

An authorization process has not been completely set up for this tool yet.

An authorization date will be scheduled after the authorization process has been set up.

Cleaning & Maintenance

  • When changing the lens, make sure the convex/domed side of the lens is facing upwards (towards the ceiling)
