Page 12: Overview
Overview Cobolt 04-01 Series laser systems consist of four main parts: the laser head, the Controller, the Cable and the Power Supply (not shown). The cable provided should always be used to connect the laser head with the Controller. Always install the laser system to a properly grounded power outlet. -
Page 13: Configuration
OWNERS MANUAL | Cobolt 04-01 Series | D0105-I October 2022 Configuration CDRH Compliant The CDRH compliant system is supplied with a key switch on the Controller, which must be connected, along with a remote interlock connector. Once power is supplied, laser emission starts when the key is turned from the OFF position to the ON position. -
Page 14: Laser Head
OWNERS MANUAL | Cobolt 04-01 Series | D0105-I October 2022 Laser head The laser head contains pump diode, laser cavity, beam shaping optics and thermoelectric coolers (TEC) for temperature control of the cavity and pump diode. The laser head contains an optical feed-back loop which ensures long-term power stability of the emitted visual beam. -
Page 15: Controller
OWNERS MANUAL | Cobolt 04-01 Series | D0105-I October 2022 Controller The Controller supplies driving current and control signals to the laser head. All laser heads are delivered with a controller. The operation set points are specific to each Laser Head and have been fixed during manufacturing. The operation set points are stored in the laser head so the controller can be interchanged or replaced. -
