SYNRAD OEM v40 Operator’s Manual Version 4
Introduction
The Firestar
®
v40 laser is a small-footprint laser from SYNRAD featuring high power and excellent beam
quality. The circular beam provides more accurate cutting and faster processing speeds than competing
technologies. With an integrated RF power supply, meaning no external RF cables, the compact laser
housing mounts easily to atbed cutters, robotic arms, or gantry systems making integration into your
production line simple and fast.
Firestar v40 features include:
■Compact resonator design
■RF power supply integrated into laser chassis
■Built-in “tickle” generator
■Color-coded LEDs mirror user outputs
■ “Industrial-strength” ±5–24 VDC inputs and outputs
■Keyswitch fan- or water-cooled models available
■OEM (no Keyswitch/no shutter) air-, fan-, or water-cooled models available
Firestar nomenclature
Firestar v40 lasers are divided into two distinct functional categories: Keyswitch and OEM models. In ad-
dition to a manual Keyswitch, all Keyswitch-equipped lasers include a manual shutter switch that allows the
laser output aperture to be blocked. OEM lasers do not incorporate either a manual keyswitch or shutter
assembly since they are primarily designed as components to be integrated into a larger processing system
by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or System Integrator who bears the responsibility for
meeting the appropriate laser safety requirements for Class IV laser systems.
Model numbers
The last three characters in the Firestar model number serve to designate the functional category, cool-
ing method, and model version. The functional category is indicated by either a “K” for Keyswitch or “S”
(Switch-less) for OEM models. The next letter indicates the cooling method: “W” for water-cooled units,
“F” for fan-cooled units, and “A” for air-cooled lasers (where the customer must provide the proper cooling
via fans or blowers). The last letter in the model number indicates the current model version beginning
with “B”. For example, the model number FSV40KFD designates that particular Firestar v40 laser as a “D”
version, Keyswitch, fan-cooled model. FSV40SAD indicates an OEM, air-cooled v40 laser.
