5 . Connecting the Optical Fiber
5 . Connecting the Optical Fiber
This section explains the method of connecting the optical fiber on the laser
beam output unit side .
WARNING
■ Be sure to receive education for this work from our engineer .
■ Before starting work, be sure to turn OFF the power supply .
⇒
Do not disconnect the optical fiber on the laser beam input unit side. When dis -
connecting it, contact us for information.
⇒ The work environment with clean room class 10000 or less is required for the
optical fiber connection (including the output unit side). If you are not in the clean
room environment, prepare a simplified clean booth. Please contact us for de-
tails.
Precautions during Operation
⇒
During operation, wear fingerstalls or gloves.
⇒
During operation, take care not to give shocks to the optical fiber or bend it below
the minimum bending radius (See table below).
Bending radius Min. 150 mm
Coil radius Min. 200 mm
Tensile force Max. 50 N
Torque (torsion) Max. 0.5 Nm
Torsion Max. 90° per meter
⇒
Do not tighten the connector section of output unit too firmly; otherwise the inci -
dent laser beam may be dislocated. Turn the connector section by hand without
using a tool.
Item required
Fingerstalls or gloves, lens cleaning paper, and isopropanol

Cleaning the End Face of the Optical Fiber
(1) Remove the cap at the end of the optical fiber and check the end face of the opti -
cal fiber.
⇒
If it is not stained or dust is not attached, proceed to Step
2
.
⇒ Keep the recover cap in a clean place in custody. If a dirty cap is mounted again,
this will cause seizure.
