It is essential that the user mounts heatsinks to the driver board and motor mounts
which are suitable for their intended application. If this is not done the devices will
overheat and permanent damage may occur. The choice of heatsink will primarily be
determined by the power which the devices dissipate, a value which is dependant on
the average speed at which the user moves the scanners. The larger the power the
heatsink must dissipate the larger the heatsink will need to be.
3.2.2 Fitting The Heatsinks
Caution
The galvo motor assembly and associated driver board are tuned at the factory
before they are shipped and further adjustment is not normally necessary. If the
accuracy of the system is in doubt, e.g due to accidental adjustment of trim pots,
contact Thorlabs for information on the tuning procedure.
During Installation, ensure that the motors are connected to the driver card to
which they were tuned. Both the motor and the driver card should carry the
same serial number.
The location of the serial number labels is shown below.
