Installation

Follow each step for preparation, mounting and elec-
trical connection in the correct order as described in
this chapter.
!
Danger!
• Make sure all components of the system (laser,
controller, power supply, computer) are
switched off before installation.
• During installation of the scan head, never stare
directly into the laser beam or at any of its
deflected radiation.
• Never place parts of the body into the direct
path of the laser or its deflected radiation.
• After the scan head has been mounted, there is
a cone-shaped hazardous laser output area. Do
not stare into the laser or its deflected radiation.
Keep all parts of the body away from the laser
beam.
• Always turn on the PC controller and the scan
head's power supply first before turning on the
laser. Otherwise the laser beam might be
reflected in an arbitrary direction.
Caution!
• Carefully take the scan head out of the pack-
aging.
• The objective is fragile and can be damaged by
mechanical pressure. Never place the scan head
on top of the objective.
• Protect the scan head and the objective from
dust and other contaminants.
• Never touch the optical surfaces of the
deflection mirrors or objective. Always use
gloves and/or special lens cleaning tissues when
handling the optical components.
• Follow the procedures in
ically checking and cleaning the optics.

4.1 Checking the Specifications

Make sure the specifications of the scan head meet
the requirements of your application (see "Technical
Specifications" on page 34). If your application
requires other specifications, then please contact
SCANLAB.

4.2 Mounting the Objective

If the scan head is to be operated with an objective
which is not factory-installed (or if an already-
mounted objective is to be exchanged), then proceed
as described in the following sections.
Objectives are mounted either directly or via an objec-
tive holder onto the housing's beam exit side. Many
objectives require a mounting set, which (in addition
to an objective holder) can include components for
securing the objective and objective holder, as well as
seal rings and space rings to ensure a safe distance
between the objective and the deflection mirrors.
Different objectives might require different mounting
sets. Appropriate objective mounting sets are
attached on the scan head, included with the objec-
tive, or obtainable from SCANLAB.

Objective Holder

If the objective mounting set includes an objective
holder, install it as follows.
Carefully remove (e.g. with a small screw driver)
any protective covers from the scan head's
objective opening.
Some setups require installation of one or more
seal rings between the housing and the objective
holder. Check for corresponding accessories in
the objective mounting set.
Place the objective holder (with its form-fitting
bottom side) in the beam exit opening. Ensure
that the objective holder is correctly positioned. A
tilted objective holder can produce unintended
beam paths.
Secure the objective holder onto the beam exit
side via four screws.
