Lifting and Moving the Laser
Spectra-Physics has specifically designed two service handles (ordered separately) to assist in
moving the laser. Ensure that all the hardware is tight before moving the laser. Four people are
required to move the laser if the lifting handles are going to be used.
Use caution when lifting and moving laser. The laser head weighs 86 kg
(190 lb.). The QPS weighs 16 kg (35.27 lb.).
The table or transportation cart onto which the laser will be placed must
be capable of supporting at least 181 kg (400 lb.).
Best laser pointing is achieved if the mounting surface material is
aluminum.
Dropping the laser (even from a small height) damages the laser and
VOIDS your warranty.
The handles can be used to add safety straps to any lifting mechanism. The center of gravity is located
at the eye bolt. As the laser is lifted, maintain the center of gravity. Reposition the bolt as needed.
