redPOWER QUBE Cased Fiber Laser User Manual
The BDO should be held off the floor and routed along a path so that the conduit is not
bent tighter than the minimum bend radius at any point along its length all through the
production sequence.
The conduit should never be pulled tight at any point along its length during the
production sequence.
If a balancer is used, tie the conduit to the rope of the balancer so that:
o The rope takes the tensile loading and not the optical connector.
o The conduit has sufficient slack for all kinds of robot motions without bending
below the minimum bend radius.
Acceleration and deceleration of the BDO and process head should be kept to a
minimum consistent with achieving process cycle time.
At BDO installation and periodically during operation (e.g. once per shift), a dry run of
the production sequence should be made. The BDO motion should be checked to
ensure that the routing still complies with the points of good practice above.
7.8 Connecting and Disconnecting the PIPA-Q
Optical Connector
7.8.1 Precautions
CAUTION: The protective cap attached to the optical connector is
intended to protect the connector from contamination during shipping and
when the QUBE Fiber Laser is not in use for extended periods. It
SHOULD NOT be treated as a beam stop.
Operating the QUBE Fiber Laser with the protective cap in place may
result in damage to the QUBE Fiber Laser. In addition, due to the
elevated temperatures associated with operating the QUBE Fiber Laser at
high power with the protective cap in place, contact may lead to personal
injury.
CAUTION: The protective tape attached to the optical connector is
intended to protect the connector from contamination during shipping.
Operating the QUBE Fiber Laser with the protective tape in place may
result in damage to the QUBE Fiber Laser.
Each optical connector change incurs the risk of contaminating or damaging the connector.
Therefore optical connectors should only be changed when required and the local
environment should be as clean and dust free as possible to avoid introducing debris into the
process head.
