1 Inspect all cooling tubing connections for signs of leakage. Check for signs of condensation
that may indicate the cooling water temperature has been set below the dew point
temperature. Condensation will damage electrical and optical components inside the laser.
See Setting coolant temperature in the Getting Started section for details on preventing
condensation.
2 When using compressed air as a purge gas on your i401 laser, empty water traps and oil
separators on each filter and/or dryer between the laser and your compressed air source.
Compressed air purity must meet the purge gas specifications shown in Table 1-4 in the
Getting Started section.
3 Inspect beam delivery components for signs of dust or debris and clean as required. When
cleaning the optical surfaces of beam delivery components, carefully follow the
manufacturer’s instructions
4 Visually inspect the exterior housing of the laser to ensure that all warning labels are present.
Refer to the Laser Safety section for i401 label types and locations.
Storage/shipping
When preparing the laser for storage or shipping, remember to drain cooling water from the laser. In
cold climates, any water left in the cooling system may freeze, which could damage internal
components. After draining thoroughly, use compressed shop air at no more than 200 kPa (29 PSI)—
while wearing safety glasses! —to remove any residual water. When finished, cap all connectors to
prevent debris from entering the cooling system.
When shipping Novanta lasers to another facility, we highly recommend that you ship the unit in its
original Novanta shipping container. If you no longer have the original shipping box and inserts, contact
Novanta Customer Service about purchasing replacement packaging. Refer to Packaging instructions in
the Technical Reference section for detailed instructions on properly packaging the laser for shipment.
Important Note: Failure to properly package the laser using Novanta supplied shipping boxes and
foam/cardboard inserts as shown in the Packaging instructions may void the warranty. Customers
may incur additional repair charges for shipping damage caused by improper packaging.
Cleaning optical components
Debris or contaminants on external beam delivery components may affect laser processing and lead to
damage or failure of the optics and/or the laser. Carefully follow the steps below to inspect and clean
the optical components in the beam path. Before beginning the cleaning process, read this entire section
thoroughly to ensure that all cleaning materials are available and that each step is completely
understood.
