The AGV-HP(O) scan head does not include a laser attenuator, and therefore it cannot block or weaken the laser beam. Due to the unique properties of each laser, it is the user’s responsibility to incorporate an appropriate shutter as per any and all applicable regulations in order to prevent unwanted emission of the laser beam. www.aerotech.com...

Operating: 0 m to 2,000 m (0 ft to 6,562 ft) above sea level Altitude Contact Aerotech if your specific application involves use above 2,000 m or below sea level. Use the system in a low vibration environment. Excessive floor or acoustical vibration Vibration can affect system performance.
1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects 1.2. Accuracy and Temperature Effects Aerotech products are designed for and built in a 20°C (68°F) environment. Extreme temperature changes could cause a decrease in performance or permanent damage to the AGV-HP(O). At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the AGV-HP(O)
7. Achievable with <1% velocity error over continuous velocity portion of move. 8. Marking speed is dependent on allowable tracking error. 9. Settled to within 1% of move distance. All specifications are per axis unless otherwise noted. www.aerotech.com...

6. Insert the appropriate hardware into the holes of the mounting flange. The screw length must be long enough to provide at least 1.0x diameter thread engagement. 7. Using an appropriate wrench, tighten the hardware. Alternate tightening of the screws so that the AGV-HP(O) scan head comes together evenly on the mounting flange. www.aerotech.com...
W A R N I N G : Before performing any inspections of the focal lens, verify that the laser is switched off and secured against accidentally being switched on. W A R N I N G : Fingerprints contain aggressive substances that can damage optical surfaces. Always wear suitable gloves when you handle the optics. www.aerotech.com...
7. Remove the dust cover from the front of the focal lens. To remove the focal lens, reverse the procedure outlined above. Figure 2-16: Assembly of Focal Lens to Scan Head (AGV-HP(O)) www.aerotech.com...
W A R N I N G : To prevent damage to the AGV-HP(O), do not attach a water hose to an air fitting or an air hose to a water fitting. W A R N I N G : Wear eye protection when you are close to compressed air components. Figure 2-17: Air-Cooling (-AC) Locations www.aerotech.com...
Aerotech recommends using an appropriately sized chiller capable of delivering 0.35 GPM (gallons per minute) at 60 psid. The coolant must be delivered and retrieved from the scan head via appropriate hoses with outer diameters of 6 mm.
Aerotech motion control systems are adjusted at the factory for optimum performance. When the AGV-HP (O) is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup usually involves connecting the AGV-HP(O) to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided. Labels on the system components usually indicate the appropriate connections.
Failure to do so could expose the operator to electrical shock or mechanical dangers. C A U T I O N : The stage controller must provide over-current and over-speed protection. Failure to do so could cause electric shock or damage to the equipment.. www.aerotech.com...
