Figure 3-1 i401 front panel controls and indicators
1
Laser Aperture – provides an opening in I401’s front panel from which the beam exits. The
opening is threaded to accept beam delivery components with M29× 1.0 threads.
2
Optical Accessories Mounting
–
provides six threaded holes (8–32) for mounting optional beam
delivery components available from Novanta. Because excessive weight may damage the laser,
consult Novanta before mounting components not specifically designed as i401 options. Refer to
I401 package outline drawings in the Technical Reference section for mounting dimensions.
3
Aperture Seal – prevents dust from damaging laser optics during shipping. Remove the red self-
adhesive label before applying power to the laser.
4
Status Indicators – LED indicators display i401 laser status. From left to right:
INT (Remote Interlock) LED illuminates green to indicate the remote interlock circuit is closed
and lasing may be enabled; the LED is red, and lasing is disabled if the interlock input is open.
