    Installation Chapter ‎ Checking the input point o Place a piece of thermo transfer paper behind the cross hair device (A). o Insert the cross hair device at position (A). o Turn on the laser at low power for just long enough for a clearly visible effect to appear on the thermo transfer paper (C).
  • Page 20: Adjustment Procedure

    Create all electrical connections for the power supply and for control of the subsystem ( page 12, Subsystem). o For details of connecting the deflection unit to a RAYLASE control card and operation with RAYLASE software, refer to the corresponding manuals.
  • Page 21: Adjusting The Field Size

    Installation Chapter ‎ 5.3.2 Adjusting the field size Fig. 7 Field size adjustment o Loosen the two retaining screws (1). o Move the linear translator to the distance (D) specified in the reference table in the appen- dix. As shown above, the distance (D) is measured from the front edge of the linear trans- lator to the inner side of the housing plate.
  • Page 22: Cleaning

    Regular checking and cleaning of the optical surfaces can prevent permanent damage. Note: RAYLASE accepts no liability for damaged optical components! Note: Damage caused during the laser process, e.g. when processing metals, is irreversible and cannot be resolved by cleaning.
  • Page 23: Instructions For Cleaning Protection Windows

    Install the lens holder in the linear translator. Pay attention to the corresponding markings. For cleaning the mirrors and the moving lens, we strongly recommend sending the subsystem to RAYLASE, as opening of the deflection unit or dismantling of the moving lens by unauthor- ized personnel voids the warranty.
