2.1. Unpacking and Handling the Scan Head
IMPORTANT : To prevent the accumulation of condensation on the optical surfaces,
allow the shipping case to sit at room temperature before you open it.
WARNING : It is the responsibility of the customer to safely and carefully lift and move
the scan head. If you are not careful, you could adversely affect the performance of the
AGV-SPO.
l
Do not use the cables or tubing as lifting points.
l
Do not use the focal lens or exit aperture as a lift surface.
l
Make sure that the lens cap is attached before you move the AGV-SPO.
l
Put the scan head on a soft surface when it is not attached to its mounting surface to
protect the optics.
IMPORTANT : Wear clean, powder-free gloves when you handle optical components.
Lift only by the base of the scan head.
Carefully remove the AGV-SPO from its protective shipping container.
Before operating the AGV-SPO, it is important to let it stabilize outside of the shipping case at room
temperature for at least 12 hours. Allowing it to stabilize to room temperature will ensure that all of
the alignments, preloads, and tolerances are the same as they were when tested at Aerotech. Use
compressed nitrogen or clean, dry, oil-less air to remove any dust or debris that has collected during
shipping.
IMPORTANT : Each AGV-SPO has a label that lists the system part number and serial
number. These numbers are necessary to maintain or update system hardware and
software. Locate this label and record the information for later reference.
