Abstract

This Uganda Standard is applicable to CO2-laser beam machines for welding and cutting in two operating directions (2D). The main purpose of this standard is to provide requirements for acceptance testing of CO2-laser beam machines prior to or during installation at the user`s premises. The acceptance tests are used to document the ability of CO2-laser beam machines to produce welded joints and cuts of consistent quality. This standard is intended to be used for preparation of the technical specification for CO2-laser beam machines for high quality welding and cutting in two operating directions (2D). This standard specifies basic requirements. Additional tests and requirements may be specified in the technical specification for the CO2- laser beam machine. This standard was PUBLISHED on 2014-07-31.
