Basic safety instructions Chapter 1 Classification of laser devices The deflection unit can be fitted on various laser devices. Every laser device is assigned to a particular danger class , which must be specified at the point where laser radiation is emitted, e.g.
However, the applicable local and national standards, rules and regulations are binding. RAYLASE cover deflection unit laser shutter deflected laser beam reflected laser beam Laser area working surface RAYLASE 2-Axis Laser Beam Deflection Units MN051_v1.0.5...
You should therefore familiarize yourself with the content of this manual before using the deflection unit for the first time. In case of any queries, please contact RAYLASE. The operating manual must be accessible to anyone who will be involved in developing, in- stalling or using a laser device featuring the RAYLASE deflection unit.

Functional description Chapter 4 Only for deflection units fitted with an F-Theta lens F-Theta lens The F-Theta lens is specially designed for use with 2-axis deflection units. It focuses the laser beam at optimum quality on any position in the marking field. At the same time, it provides partial optical compensation for the barrel-shaped distortion that is unavoidable when using a two-axis deflection unit.

For deflection units with digital interface only Digital interface The deflection unit is connected to a RAYLASE control card using the 25-pin D-SUB connect- or. All signals are compatible with RAYLASE's extended function XY2-100 standard. If the deflection unit is also fitted with a 9-pin D-SUB connector, the power supply to the de- flection unit comes from this additional connector.
Note: The deflection unit may only be installed using the pins and screws specified by RAYLASE. Follow the installation drawing supplied. o For details of how to connect the deflection unit to a RAYLASE control card, refer to the corresponding manual.
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.
The mirror surfaces are extremely sensitive and may only be cleaned by experienced person- nel. We strongly recommend sending the deflection unit in to RAYLASE for the mirrors to be cleaned, as opening of the deflection unit by unauthorized personnel voids the warranty.
