  • Page 5: Safety Precautions

    You must thoroughly familiarize yourself with all this information before proceeding. The first consideration in a safety analysis is the laser mated to the Nutfield Technology product. The hazard level of the laser is roughly indicated by the Laser Class label that is on the device.

  • Page 6: Laser Shutter Installation

    Nutfield Technology Scanners provide you with the ability to aim the laser beam over a roughly polyhedral (pyramid) volume. The divergence of the focused beam beyond the focal point, which is a function of the lenses selected and their position, can cause radiation to exit the pyramid.

  • Page 7: Installation Safety Requirements

    Using optical instruments with this product increases eye hazard. Safety Precautions During Usage To maintain the necessary safety during usage of Nutfield Technology scanners please take following actions: a. Please avoid any mechanical tension on the interconnection cables.

  • Page 8: Introduction

    This manual covers the installation and use of the 3XB, 3-Axis Scanning System. Nutfield’s 3XB is designed to deliver large field sizes up to 2000mm without the use of large scanning lenses, XY tables, or gantries. These field sizes are achieved while delivering equal to or better, field-size/spot-size ratios then those of standard laser scanning lenses.

    Select a high quality power supply with good clean DC outputs. Power supplies with excessive ripple or noise will cause scanning problems in your system. The electronics internal to the 3XB have generous output capacitors that supply instantaneous peak current to the output drive amplifiers, and lower the peak output requirements of your system power supply.
