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
AGV3D.
l
Make sure that all moving parts are secure before you move the AGV3D. Unsecured
moving parts could shift and cause injury or damage to the equipment.
l
Do not use the cables or tubing as a lift surface.
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 AGV3D.
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.
Carefully remove the AGV3D from its protective shipping container. Gently set the AGV3D on a smooth,
flat, and clean surface.
Before operating the AGV3D, 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 AGV3D 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.
