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...
Direct exposures of 0.01 second or less could cause eye and skin Class IIIb damage. Direct or scattered radiation without optical enhancement could cause Class IV eye and skin damage. www.aerotech.com...
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-HP(O) 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.

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-HP(O). At a minimum, the environmental temperature must be controlled to within 0.25ºC per 24 hours to ensure the AGV-HP(O) specifications are repeatable over an extended period of time.
(6) Based on the rated rms current of the motor with -WC water cooling option; maximum continuous acceleration is 70% of this value without water cooling. (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. www.aerotech.com...

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-HP(O) scan head comes together evenly on the mounting flange. www.aerotech.com...
Figure 2-15: 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 2-16: Assembly of Focal Lens to Scan Head (AGV-HP(O)) 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 2-17: 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 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-HP(O) 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.

3.4. Limits, Marker, and Machine Direction 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.
Inspect and perform an operational check on all safeguards and protective devices. It is usually not possible for Aerotech field service personnel to do repairs and/or replace components. Contact Aerotech Global Technical Support for more information and to determine if the AGV-HP(O) should be sent back to the factory for maintenance.
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...
