Water-cooled connections
Note: If your v40 laser is fan-cooled, then skip to the Electrical connections section.
Read Guidelines for cutting and installing tubing before installing any cooling tubing and then make sure to
connect the cooling system exactly as described for your particular laser.
Guidelines for cutting and installing tubing
■Cut tubing lengths generously to allow for trimming.
■Cut tubing squarely; diagonal cuts may not seal properly. Carefully trim any burrs if the cut is “ragged”.
■Avoid excessive stress on ttings; create gentle bends when routing tubing close to connectors.
Excessive stress from sharp bends tubing will compromise the sealing properties of the tting.
■Never allow the tubing to kink, since kinking severely restricts coolant ow.
■Push tubing completely into the tting, then pull the tubing to verify that it is locked into place.
Tubing extends into the tting approximately 7/8 of an inch.
■If tubing must be disconnected from a tting, rst push and hold the tubing slightly into the tting.
Next push the white tting ring evenly towards the tting, and then pull the tubing free.
■After disconnecting tubing from a tting, trim 1/2" from its end before reconnecting. Trimming
the end of the tubing before reconnecting the tting provides an undisturbed sealing surface.
Laser cooling ttings
If your integrated laser application uses metric cooling tubing, we recommend the installation of tubing
adaptors to convert the laser’s WATER IN and WATER OUT ttings from 1/2-inch tubing to 12-mm met-
ric tubing. These tubing adaptors are available from many tubing and tting manufacturers.
If, for any reason, you must remove and then reinstall the threaded WATER IN and WATER OUT cooling
ttings on the laser, do not overtighten them. When installing new ttings, wrap the threads with teon
tape and then carefully tighten the ttings until they are just snug enough to prevent water leakage.
