Make sure that the product is securely mounted before you operate it. All service and maintenance must be done by approved personnel. Keep the scan head free of foreign matter and moisture to prevent a reduction in its performance and life expectancy. WARNING: Securely mount and position all system cables. www.aerotech.com...
Classes of Lasers The AGV-SPO series scan head can be used with a variety of lasers. Each laser is assigned a particular hazard level, which is indicated by the Laser Class label that is affixed to the device near the location where laser radiation is emitted.
The laser area must be designated by suitable warning signs or lamps and protected by appropriate shading and interlock switches. Figure 1: Laser Area of an AGV-SPO Scan Head www.aerotech.com...
Do not stare into the laser beam, put your body parts in the laser area, or expose yourself to reflections from powerful beams. WARNING: Aerotech recommends that you only use a Class 1 HeNe laser to do alignments. If a Class 1 HeNe laser is not available, use the lowest power setting on the available laser and remote beam sensing techniques.

Single Point Scanner Component Diagram The AGV-SPO control connections consist of three 300 mm cables terminated in 25-pin D-style connectors. These cables can be oriented in any direction and terminated on the machine to ensure there is no interference with beam delivery. www.aerotech.com...
Water Cooling (Optional, refer to Section 2.6.) Water cooling Lens Mounting Adapter (To be Ordered as a Separate Line Item) Lens mounting adapter for AGV14SPO. Standard versions support the lens LMxx configurations offered by Aerotech. Custom versions available upon request. www.aerotech.com...
Indoor use only 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-SPO. At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the AGV-SPO specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.

Avoid eye or skin exposure to direct or scattered radiation. WARNING: Aerotech recommends that you only use a Class 1 HeNe laser to do alignments. If a Class 1 HeNe laser is not available, use the lowest power setting on the available laser and remote beam sensing techniques.
12 hours. Allowing it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to remove any dust or debris that has collected during shipping.
The alignment tolerance should be based on the variability acceptable in the optical system. Aerotech recommends that you align the bottom surface of the AGV parallel to the work plane within 25 µm as a starting point.

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-SPO scan head comes together evenly on the mounting flange. www.aerotech.com...
Figure 2-2: Example of F-Theta Lens (Complete Assembly) DANGER: Make sure that the laser is set in the "off" position and secured against accidental operation before you inspect or do maintenance to the focal lens. 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 2-3: Assembly of Focal Lens to Scan Head (AGV-SPO) www.aerotech.com...
If compressed air is used, it must be filtered to 0.25 microns, dry to 0º F dew point, and oil free. The filtration requirement is necessary to prevent particles from damaging the optical surfaces of the turning mirrors. Figure 2-4: 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-SPO is part of a complete Aerotech motion control system, setup should only require that you connect the galvo to the appropriate drive chassis with the cables provided. Labels on the system components should indicate the appropriate connections.
Restrict access to the galvo when it is connected to a power source. If the AGV-SPO is built with standard Aerotech motors and encoders, it will arrive from the factory completely wired and assembled. The AGV scan heads contain galvano motors with dual analog encoder feedback. Both the primary and secondary position feedback signals of each galvano motor must be tuned for optimal performance.

AGV-SPO Hardware Manual 3.4. Limits, Marker, and Machine Direction Aerotech stages are configured to have positive and negative "machine" directions. The machine direction defines the phasing of the feedback and motor signals and is dictated by the stage wiring (refer to Section 3.5.
WARNING: Keep the scan head free of foreign matter and moisture to prevent a reduction in its performance and life expectancy. The AGV-SPO series scan head is designed to be dust resistant except at the beam entrance and beam exit apertures. The scan head does not require any maintenance other than periodic cleaning.
5. Remove any liquid residue with a dry lint-free lens cleaning cloth or by blow it off in one direction with compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air. 6. Repeat this procedure, using a new lint-free lens cleaning cloth for each repetition, until the surface is completely clean. www.aerotech.com...
