UNPACKING

Model numbers
The last three characters in the v40 model number serve to designate the functional category, cooling
method, and model version. The functional category is indicated by either a "K" for Keyswitch or "S"
(Switch-less) for OEM models. The next letter indicates the cooling method: "W" for water-cooled units,
"F" for fan-cooled units, and "A" for air-cooled lasers (where the customer must provide the proper
cooling via fans or blowers). The last letter in the model number indicates the current model version
beginning with "B." For example, the model number FSV40KFD designates that particular v40 laser as a
"D" version, Keyswitch, fan-cooled model. FSV40SAD indicates an OEM, air-cooled v40 laser.

Packaging guidelines

Incoming inspection
Upon arrival, inspect all shipping containers for signs of damage. If you discover shipping damage,
document the damage (photographically if possible), then immediately notify the shipping carrier and
NOVANTA.
The shipping carrier is responsible for any damage occurring during transportation from NOVANTA, Inc.
to your receiving dock.
Packaging guidelines
• To prevent equipment damage or loss of small components, use care when removing packaging
materials.
• Save all shipping containers and packaging materials, including covers and plugs. Use these
specialized packing materials when shipping the laser to another location.
• After unpacking, review the Inventory section and verify that all components are on hand.
•
When packing a laser for shipment, be sure to remove all accessory items not originally attached
to the laser including beam delivery components, cooling tubing, fittings, etc.
•
Refer to the Packaging Instructions drawing in the Technical Reference chapter for information
on packaging a v40 for shipment using NOVANTA-supplied packaging materials.
•
When shipping water-cooled lasers, remember to drain all cooling water from the laser and then
cap open fittings to prevent debris from entering the coolant path.
• Do not lift or support the laser using the cooling fittings; lift the laser by the mounting feet or
baseplate only.
