ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE FOR UV, VISIBLE, AND NIR WAVELENGTHS
1. Turn the laser off.
2. Bolt the laser alignment fixture to the front face of the AGV3D (refer to
).
l
Use the 6x12 mm LG dowel pins and M6x1.0 70 mm LG socket head cap screws provided
with the alignment fixture.
l
The large cut out should point up.
3. Turn on the laser beam and align it so that the beam is roughly centered on the front target of the
alignment fixture.

IMPORTANT
: The laser must warm-up and stabilize before you can perform a precision
alignment. Refer to the documentation that was supplied with the laser.
4. Adjust the position of the laser source until the beam is concentric with the marked circles on the
front target of the alignment fixture.
5. If the beam hits the rear target but does not go through the pinhole, adjust the angular position
of the laser source until the beam is aligned with the rear pinhole.
6. If angular adjustments were required in Step 5: Verify that the beam is still centered on the front
target. Make positional adjustments to the laser source if it is necessary to recenter the beam on
the front target.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the beam is aligned with the rear target pinhole and centered on the
front target.
8. Turn off the laser.
9. Remove the laser beam alignment fixture, M6 SHCS, and 6 mm dowels from the front face of the
AGV3D.
