Installation - RAYLASE AXIALSCAN Manual

Chapter 5

The following sections describe installation of the subsystem in a laser device. When doing
this, it is essential to check that the laser beam is input into the linear translator module and
output from the module centrally. Otherwise, misalignment of the laser beam will occur each
time the focus is changed. The linear translator module and the deflection unit are calibrated
to one another prior to delivery and do not need to be adjusted.

INSTALLATION

Warning:
 The laser beam can cause severe injury to the eyes and the skin. Note that
even apparently matt objects can reflect the wavelength of laser beams. All
personnel in the room must wear appropriate laser protection goggles and, if
necessary, protective clothing.
 Never look directly at the laser beam, even when wearing protective gog-
gles.
 The subsystem may require the laser device to be assigned to a different
danger class ( page 7, Classification of laser devices).
 The laser must be switched off during installation.
 We recommend that the laser area is completely protected by an appropri-
ate working chamber. If this is not possible, appropriate protective measures
for the laser class must be implemented.
 The mirrors in the deflection unit must move freely after installation of the
deflection unit. No components of the laser device may protrude into the de-
flection unit.
 The laser device must be of sufficient quality that the laser beam can only be
emitted at the beam output on the deflection unit.
 The "Laser radiation" accident prevention regulations (BGV B2) must be
observed.
 Connecting cables may not be subjected to mechanical strain.
 The subsystem must be protected against moisture, dust and corrosive va-
pors.
 The optical components may only be touched when wearing unpowdered
latex gloves.
 The subsystem must be protected against static discharge and strong elec-
tromagnetic fields.
 The power density of the input laser radiation may not exceed the maximum
permissible power density of the optical components in the subsystem.
 The beam path and the function of the subsystem must be tested after in-
stallation.
We recommend performing all tests with a danger class 1 or 2 laser to min-
imize the risk of injury. If this is not possible, the laser used must be set to
the lowest possible power. This setting must be secured against accidental
adjustment.
