GETTING STARTED
Getting started
Use information in this section to prepare your v40 laser for operation. The
order of information presented in this chapter is the same as the order of tasks that you
need to perform. The best way to get your laser ready for operation is to start at Inventory
and work your way through Connecting.
This section contains the following information:
•
Introduction – introduces the v40 laser, lists important features, and
describes nomenclature.
•
Unpacking – provides important information about shipping your v40 laser.
•
Inventory – displays and describes all components shipped with your laser.
•
Mounting – describes how to attach laser components to a mounting surface.
•
Connecting – explains how to connect power and control cables as well as cooling
connections for water-cooled models.
Introduction
The v40 laser is a small-footprint laser from NOVANTA featuring high power and excellent beam quality.
The circular beam provides more accurate cutting and faster processing speeds than competing
technologies. With an integrated RF power supply, meaning no external RF cables, the compact laser
housing mounts easily to flatbed cutters, robotic arms, or gantry systems making integration into your
production line simple and fast.
v40 features include:
•
Compact resonator design
•
RF power supply integrated into laser chassis
•
Built-in "tickle" generator
•
Color-coded LEDs mirror user outputs
•
"Industrial-strength" ±5–24 VDC inputs and outputs
•
Keyswitch fan- or water-cooled models available
•
OEM (no Keyswitch/no shutter) air-, fan-, or water-cooled models available
v40 Nomenclature
v40 lasers are divided into two distinct functional categories: Keyswitch and OEM models. In addition to
a manual Keyswitch, all Keyswitch-equipped lasers include a manual shutter switch that allows the laser
output aperture to be blocked. OEM lasers do not incorporate either a manual keyswitch or shutter
assembly since they are primarily designed as components to be integrated into a larger processing
system by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or System Integrator who bears the
responsibility for meeting the appropriate laser safety requirements for Class IV laser systems.
