Although SYNRAD recommends mounting the marking head and laser using our Flyer L-bracket and
Mounting Rail, there are some applications where, due to production line or packaging constraints, this is
not possible. Several alternatives for mounting your marking head and laser are described below.
Mounting guidelines
When mounting an FH Flyer marking head and laser using your own mounting components, follow the
guidelines below to ensure optimum performance.
When replacing an FH Index/Tracker head with FH Flyer on a non-standard mounting bracket, the
center of Flyer’s beam exit is moved 2.54 mm (0.10") away from the center of the FH Index/Tracker
mark eld in the –X direction (to your right when facing Flyer’s membrane panel).
Mount FH Flyer so that your marking surface is parallel to the bottom of the focusing lens mount.
Build in a Z-axis adjustment for either the marking surface or the mounting platform.
To prevent damage to your Flyer head when using a custom-built mounting bracket, verify that the
1/4–20 UNC mounting screws to not extend further than 0.30" (7.6 mm) into the Flyer head.
In order to align the marking head to the laser, your mounting design must provide sucient multi-
axis adjustment for both the turning optic(s) and the FH Head.
Allow room for fan clearance if a cooling fan is required in your FH Flyer installation.
If you are not using a SYNRAD-supplied L-bracket/Mounting Rail assembly, an FH Field Alignment Kit,
SYNRAD part number 230-18176-01, is required to ensure proper alignment and performance.
Standard mounting
For reference purposes, the standard FH mounting conguration is shown in Figure C-1. Both marking
head and laser are mounted horizontally with Flyer’s beam exit at a right-angle to the laser’s beam exit.
