undamaged and inserted in the top of
each component.
 Replace the o-rings as
necessary.
12. Align the adjustable lens holder
spacer and tighten the (4) captive M4
SHCS, if necessary.

5.6 Removing and Replacing the
Collimator
 Before continuing, determine which
style collimator your head has.
o See the provided assembly
drawing.
o If the fiber is clamped to the
head, similar to Figure 7, you
have a third-party collimator.
o Other variations use a Laser
Mechanisms’ collimator.
 This manual only covers servicing
when using a Laser Mechanisms’
collimator.
 Refer to third-party collimator’s
instructions to service that type of
system.
Before opening any part of the head,
clean off the dust and/or process
debris using an exterior cleaning
towel (PLTLS0023) or equivalent.
