Mounting

The Mounting section includes subsections:
• Fastening from above
• Fastening from below
v40's base plate is designed so that the laser is easily mounted to either vertical or horizontal surfaces
using only three fasteners. Three ball bearing "feet" pressed into 's base plate eliminate any possible
distortion of the laser tube caused by variations in the flatness of the surface on which the laser is
mounted. Refer to the v40 package outline drawings in the Technical Reference chapter for mounting
locations and dimensions. Read through the mounting sections below to determine which set of
mounting holes are required for your application. When mounting v40 lasers, you can choose to fasten
from above, into your mounting surface, or from below, into v40's base plate.
Important Note: To allow proper airflow, air- or fan-cooled units must have at least 2.25" (57.2
mm) of unobstructed clearance between the outside edge of the cooling fan and any enclosure or
surface.
NOVANTA does not recommend mounting lasers in a vertical "head-down" or "tail-down" orientation.
If you must mount your laser in this manner, please contact the factory for limitations as vertical
orientation increases the risk of damage to the laser's output optic.
Caution: Possible Equipment Damage
