Hi everyone,
My CW-5000 is running at 19.6 celsius but my laser's temperature reader continues to steadily rise, and very slowly creeps back down while the machine is at rest. Shouldn't my water chiller be keeping the Laser tube cooler than 26+ celsius??
So I have a Boss Laser 150watt HP5598 with a CW-5000 Industrial Chiller hooked up to the machine. I'm running this machine 8 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. I live in Connecticut so it does get rather humid and hot around here, or at least has been so far this year. Now my laser is set up in a partially underground basement/garage.
The instruction manual I got with the CW-5000 don't tell me anything about really working with the machine so I am a bit clueless on how exactly it operates. I was able to figure how to change the setting that determines how much cooler the CW-5000 will be compared to the ambient room temperature. (e.g. Room Temp = 25celsius and CW-5000 set for -10celsius below the ambient temp). Basically the water chiller is running constantly at 19.6 celsius. What is weird is that the water is cool both going into the machine and coming back out? Please help!
Regards,
Brady
