To ensure operation within given specifications and for the warranty to be valid, the laser head must be attached to a heatsink providing good thermal resistance.
This value is the difference between the maximum operating laser base plate temperature (50˚C) and the maximum ambient temperature at the air-heatsink interface (40°C), divided by the maximum power dissipated from the laser head (~20W). The mounting surface should be
flat (within 0.05 mm over mounting surface).
The heatsink superceeds HS-01 and is designed to accommodate all Cobolt laser model 04-01 Series and 06- 01 Series footprints and can be bolted to a standard metric optical table for use in a constant ambient temperature environment.
