2.1.5 Laser
Setup
1.
After installing and launching the software apply the
purge gas at approximately 10 SLPM (35 PSI/2.5 BAR) and
remove the dust caps from the BeamWatch STD unit.
(Applying the gas before removing the dust caps helps
prevent dust from entering the unit.)
2.
Apply the guide beam.
2.1.6 Alignment
BeamWatch contains two alignment tool accessories; one is
designed to be inserted from the top and the other from the
bottom. For accurate results the beam must be aligned with the
center of the input aperture, perpendicular to the top of the unit.
A beam offset in any direction can produce inaccurate results.
This is especially important when used with the optional rotation
mount accessory.
The alignment tool is provided for use with low
power alignment beams only. Do not use with
high power beams.
Using the alignment tool:
1.
Determine which tool to use.
a.
Use the bottom mount tool if the beam is directed
horizontally, or if there is a short working distance
between the delivery head and the top of the
BeamWatch unit.
b.
Use the top mount tool if the beam dump or
power sensor is located close to the bottom of the
BeamWatch, or if the BeamWatch is contained in
an environment where the bottom is inaccessible.
