FQ20 Laser Marking System
Model 6/FQ Laser Controller Dimensions and Mounting Details
Laser Controller
The laser controller houses the laser source unit, power supplies,
circuit boards, programmable logic controller, control relay,
cooling fan, a 115/230VAC IEC320 connector, and a front panel
control module.
The laser source unit generates the lasing beam. Engineered for
the greatest reliability and for ease of maintenance, the laser
source is an easily replaceable sealed module with expected
lifetime of greater than 50,000 operating hours.
Operator Control Panel
The front panel control module includes the system key switch,
laser off push button, manual safety shutter control, function
indicators, an LCD panel to monitor elapsed emission time, and an
LED panel to monitor laser power.

Fiber Optic Cable Assembly
The lasing beam is delivered to the laser marking head from the
laser controller through a fiber optic cable. One end of the fiber
optic cable is permanently attached to the laser source unit inside
the laser controller. The opposite end of the cable includes a beam
collimator and isolator that is enclosed within the laser marking
head. The standard fiber optic cable for the FQ20 is 3 m (9.8 ft.)
long.
Optical Isolator
To prevent back reflections an
optical isolator
is used in all
standard FQ20 Laser Marking Systems. Installed on the laser
marking head end of the fiber optic cable, the isolator functions as
a one way check valve allowing laser light to exit the laser but not
return to the laser’s most sensitive optical components.
