Quartz block
Depending on the area of application and the required laser power, it
may be necessary to unscrew the protective glass or protective conduit.
NOTICE
Damage to the fiber through improper use of the
quartz block protection
For applications with high vibrations or high acceler-
ations of the process optics, the protective conduit
can become loose around the fiber outlet and fall
into the process optics. Due to the high temperatures
at high laser power, the protective glass or protec-
tive conduit may melt causing damage to the fiber
connector and the process optics.
ð
Use the protective conduit or glass only for ap-
plications and under conditions which are ex-
pressly intended to prevent damage to the fiber
connector and process optics.
