6. Installation
6.1. Installation procedure
Before unpacking the laser, prepare for the installation by making sure that the required equipment,
resources and materials are available. Carefully inspect the package contents for shipment damage and
notify Luxinar immediately if any damage is found.
• The means to transport and lift the laser into position. See section
2.3.3 for equipment weights.
• A flat surface with prepared fixing locations to match the laser mounting feet. See section 6.2.1 .
• A DC power supply supplied by Luxinar or sourced locally.
• A beam delivery system and supports with a prepared connection for the laser output window
mounting point.
• A source of cooling water or a chiller for laser cooling. See section 6.2.3 .
• A source of high purity nitrogen or compressed air to provide a positive purge pressure for the laser
optics. See section 6.2.4 .
• Emergency stop interlock circuit.
• Laser control interface circuitry.
Perform the following steps to install the laser:
1.
Carefully unpack the laser and place it on the prepared mounting surface, then fasten it in place
using M8 bolts. Do not remove the protection cap from the laser output window at this stage.
See section
6.2.1 .
2. Connect the laser to the cooling water source or chiller using 10mm OD tubing (see section 6.2.3 ).
To connect the cooling tubing:
a.
Push the tube into the connector until it reaches the stop. Pull back on the tube to ensure that
the connector has gripped the tube firmly.
b. To remove the tube, press the release ring on the end of the connector end and pull out the
tube.
3. Connect the optics purge gas supply using 6mm OD tubing (see section 6.2.4 . To connect the gas
purge tubing:
a.
Push the tube into the connector until it reaches the stop. Pull back on the tube to ensure that
the connector has gripped the tube firmly.
b. To remove the tube, press the release ring on the end of the connector end and pull out the
tube.
4. Connect the laser to the DC power supply.
DANGER
Exposed terminals — risk of electrocution
Switch off and disconnect the equipment from the mains electrical supply before exposing
electrical terminals. Only trained and authorised personnel should make electrical
connections.
5. Connect the DC power supply to the mains. See section 6.2.5 .
6. Connect the emergency stop interlock circuit.
7. Connect the control interface circuitry.
8. Test the laser output before fitting the beam delivery.
Place a suitable beam block or power monitoring device in the beam path. Do not place it close to
optical surfaces to avoid risk of contamination by evaporated material.
