For the Proper Use of Product
• Be sure to observe the following matters to prevent a failure or a malfunction of this product and to maintain
the product performance properly.
„
Usage environment
• Do not use the product in a place with frequent vibrations or shocks. Moreover, please do not drop this product. It may
affect the precision component and optical component inside, which could impair the performance or result in a failure.
• Do not use the system outdoors.
• The product is air-cooled. Please install not to bar the flow of air cooling. Avoid placing heat sources near the product.
• Be sure to use the product within the ambient temperature and humidity defined in the specifications.
• Be careful not to have water, oil, fingerprints, dust, or dirt attached to the laser emission port of the head. This could
degrade the lasing performance and may result in a failure. If the laser emission port becomes dirty, use a dry soft
cloth to clean the port.
• If the air filter becomes dirt, clean the filter. Failure to do so may hinder the air flow, resulting in failure of this product.
Replace air filter periodically.
• Ensure that the dust or gas are removed by placing the intake duct of the dust collector or exhauster near the source of
dust or gas. Any dust or gas contamination on the laser emission port may cause failure or decrease the laser marking
or processing quality. In addition, when the laser beam is blocked by dust or gas, it may cause decrease in laser
marking or processing quality.

Installation and mounting
• Do not hold the fiber unit, cables and connectors at carrying this product.
• Do not touch the laser emission port on the bottom of the head. They may affect the laser marking quality badly.
• Carry the head as shown in the figure below.

• Do not install the product to the systems that give excessive load acts on the head and cables, such as head movement
unit. Failure to do so may damage the head precision parts or disconnect the cables, resulting in a failure.
• Be careful neither to give strong power to the cables nor to nip it for installation.
• Verify the minimum bend radius of each cable and install them without excess forces being applied.
• Do not hit the device with a tool such as a hammer at the installation. Do not use excessive force while tightening the
screws (nuts). It may cause a failure.
• Do not insert any objects between the gaps of the exhaust port or inspiratory port.
• Use anti-reflection material (ex. black paint for metal) for an external shutter or a protective enclosure in a path of laser
beam. It may cause a failure of the components inside the laser marker head.
• If any other devices such as a sensor or a camera are installed near the laser marker, make sure that these devices are
installed in the place where laser beam and its reflected beam do not damage to them.
