Unpacking the Laser System
For customers who integrate the laser into a tool, Spectra-Physics recommends that the laser be
shipped in its original container. The shipping crate offers the best protection. Spectra-Physics
further recommends that you repackage the laser and vacuum seal the laser in a new shipping bag.
You can find the laser head shipping kit in the FRU list.
Keep all shipping materials. If you file a damage claim, you might need them to demonstrate that
the damage occurred as a result of shipping. If you need to return the system for service at a later
date, the specially designed container ensures adequate protection.
Note that the Quasar laser head weighs 86 kg (190 lb.) and the QPS weighs 16kg (35.27 lb.). Four
people are required to move the laser head safely.
Unpacking the Power Supply/Accessory Kit Crate
Verify that the tilt and shock watches (see Figure 4-3) on each crate are not tripped, indicating
that the units were safely shipped. If they are tripped, carefully document any damage caused by
the carrier.
The shock watches are on the sides of each crate. If the indicator on either watch shows that the
crate has sustained possible damage, follow the instructions printed on the label, and notify the
carrier and your Spectra-Physics representative. If they are not tripped, proceed with the next
step.
Open the shipping crate and remove the power supply and accessory kit boxes.
a)
Using metal cutters, cut the shipping band.
b)
Unfasten the four clamps around the bottom of the crate that fasten the top portion of
the crate (the cover) to the palette. Turn the handles counter-clockwise and disengage
the latch as shown.
