Page holder for the Laser cutter's Cooling system.
An overview of how the coolbot controls the cooling system for the Laser Cutter.
- Chiller is always chilling water.
- Once the coolbot detects that the reservoir water is too warm, it will turn the black power strip on, thus the red light power plug and the small (noisier) pump turns on. This pumps water from the chiller reservoir in to the main 25L reservoir and drops temperature to water being fed in to the laser cutter tube.
- Once main reservoir temp reaches 19 degrees it stops pumping in the chilled water.
When the laser cutter has the key in and turned on, the big water pump turns on (it is connected to a power socket on the back of the laser cutter).
When actually cutting the air assist and extraction fan turn on.
Possible source for better water tanks (i.e. sealed, without tempting lids):
