FQ20 Laser Marking System
FQ20 Laser Marking Head Dimensions and Mounting Details
System Setup
Complete installation procedures are provided in the
FQ20
Installation/Maintenance Manual
. The following procedures are
listed for reference only to provide a general overview of the
installation process.
Note:
A minimum distance of 8 in. (204 mm) should be allowed
at the rear of the laser controller to allow for a proper bend radius
of the fiber optic cable. A minimum of 4 in. (102 mm) should be
allowed on each side of the controller to permit proper air flow.
Do not block the vented openings on the laser controller.
Note:
A minimum distance of 8 in. (204 mm) should be allowed
around the laser marking head. This permits proper air circulation
and allows room for a proper bend radius of the fiber optic cable.
1.
Equipment should remain powered down and in the
OFF
position until the mounting is complete.
2.
Place the computer, monitor keyboard in the desired location.
3.
Place the controller as close as practical to the laser marking
head. The standard cable length is 5 meters (16 feet).
4.
Place the laser marking head onto the mounting position
taking care not to bend or kink the fiber optic cable. The
fiber optic cable will take an approximately 12 in. (305 mm)
diameter bend without damage.
5.
Mount the laser marking head by using four M6-1.0 bolts.
Torque to 80 in-lb (9.04 N-m).
a.
Mounting holes are tapped for metric threads. The
mounting pattern is a four (4) hole rectangular pattern
2.0 in. wide by 3.75 in. long (50.8 x 95.25 mm). The
holes are tapped 0.30 in. (7.62 mm) deep for M6-1.00
bolts.
Mounting bolts must not extend into the
laser marking head as to interfere with the
internal components.
b.
The leading edge of the mounting plate must not
extend more than .375 in. (9.5 mm) forward of the
first set of holes to allow clearance for the beam
output lens.
c.
As viewed from the back of the laser marking head,
the center of the output beam is 3.125 in. (79.375mm)
forward of the first set of mounting holes and
0.732 in. (18.593 mm) inward from the left side set of
mounting holes.
6.
Ensure laser controller power switch (on front panel) is
OFF
.
7.
Select proper fuse arrangement, then connect power cable.
8.
Connect the remaining cables.
9.
Refer to the
FQ20 Operation Supplement
for proper startup
procedure of the complete system.
10.
Refer to the
Merlin II LS Operating Instructions
for
complete information on using the system software.
