Connecting
The Connecting section includes subsections:
• Water-cooled connections
• Air-cooled connections
• Electrical connections
• Control connections
If your OEM v30 laser is fan-cooled (an SFG model), then skip ahead to the Electrical connections
section. For air-cooled (SAG) lasers, go to the Air-cooled connections section.
Water-cooled connections
Cooling fitting adaptors
If your integrated laser application uses metric cooling tubing, you should install tubing adaptors to
convert the laser’s WATER IN and WATER OUT fittings from 1/2-inch tubing to 12-mm metric tubing.
These tubing adaptors are available from many tubing and fitting manufacturers.
Guidelines for cutting and installing tubing
• Cut tubing lengths generously to allow for trimming.
• Cut tubing squarely; diagonal cuts may not seal properly. Carefully trim any burrs if the cut is
“ragged.”
•
Avoid excessive stress on fittings; create gentle bends when routing tubing close to connectors.
Excessive stress from sharp bends tubing will compromise the sealing properties of the fitting.
• Never allow the tubing to kink, since kinking severely restricts coolant flow.
• Push tubing completely into the fitting, then pull the tubing to verify that it is locked into place.
• If tubing must be disconnected from a fitting, first push and hold the tubing slightly into the
fitting. Next push the white fitting ring evenly towards the fitting, and then pull the tubing free.
•
After disconnecting tubing from a fitting, trim 1/2" from its end before reconnecting. Trimming
the end of the tubing before reconnecting the fitting provides an undisturbed sealing surface.
Chiller preparation guidelines
• You must provide fittings that will adapt the laser’s 1/2" O.D. polyethylene cooling tubing to your
chiller’s Inlet and Outlet ports. These fittings can be either “quick disconnect” or compression
type fittings.
