USB 2.0 ADVICE

Ulyxe PL™ exclusively works via USB 2.0 Full Speed only. Certain hardware configurations and certain

operative systems do not fully support the requested connection.

It is suggested to perform the following checks:

• Use only USB cables certified “ HIGH SPEED” or quality “USB2.0” cable, not longer than 2 meters.

• Avoid using any kind of extension cable or any HUB on the cable path.

• Verify the compatibility of the operative system.

• Some computers support only one USB2.0 at a time. On those systems, the use of other devices

(USB memories, external HD, etc.) can disconnect the Ulyxe PL™ peripheral devices (in particular it

is observed that any USB 2.0 peripheral connected for last in temporal order isn’t recognized from

O.S.).

1.4 TRANSPORT

The marking system can be easily lifted up and moved by a single person thanks to its compact size and

reduced weight.

Figure 3: Transport.

WARNING!

The Ulyxe PL™ is a delicate optical marking system, avoid damaging it with shock and vibrations.

1.5 ON MOISTURE CONDENSATION

If the marking system is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, moisture may condense inside or

outside the marking system. This moisture condensation may cause a malfunction of the marking system.

If moisture condensation occurs

Turn off the marking system and wait about 1 hour for the moisture to evaporate.

Note on moisture condensation

Moisture may condense when you bring the marking system from a cold place into a warm place (or vice

versa) or when you use the marking system in a humid place as shown below.

How to avoid moisture condensation

When you bring the marking system from a cold place into a warm place, put it in a plastic bag and seal it

tightly. Remove the bag when the air temperature inside the plastic bag has reached the ambient

temperature (after about 1 hour).

1.6 FIXING AND POSITIONING

The marking system need to be positioned in safety mode and fixed on an appropriate plan absolutely with

no vibrations.

Ulyxe PL

TM

is equipped with 4 threaded

holes and 2 fixing pins.

WARNING!

It is very important to secure the marking system before you start marking the piece since improper

securing or positioning may cause serious damage. Do not secure the marking system in a way

other than the one described in the figure.

NOTE:

In order to prevent marking distortions, check for the absence of vibrations between marking system

and piece to be marked.

NOTE:

It is recommended to install the marking system on a micrometer positioning Z-axis system!

1.7 INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT

The marking system must be installed in a suitable environment in order to allow proper air flow passage and

correct housing of the cables.

Ulyxe PL

TM

is an air cooled marking system, an adequate air flow is necessary to guarantee its correct

cooling. Installation must not slow or stop the flow of air cooling. Moreover, do not install a heat source near.

Figure 6: Installation environment.

To obtain a good marking quality, and not to decrease life time, we recommended a ventilation or vacuum

system in a protection box to limit dust due to marking phase.

1.8 FUME / DUST EXTRACTOR

During marking process, dust and/or gas may be produced. It is important to use adequate fume extractor

and/or air filtration.

WARNING!

Marking PVC (or other plastic material) can cause the release of chlorine gas which can be harmful

to the laser operator and to the marking system itself. Always use adequate fume extractor during

PVC and plastic marking.

2.3 MARKING AREA SPECIFICATION

Datalogic provides a wide range of F-Theta scan lenses to be attached to the scanning head to focus the

laser beam in flat Marking Field, in order to achieve high-resolution marking results.

These F-Theta scan lenses are available to best-match the object (i.e.: logo; string; 2D matrix; etc.) to be

marked with customer need, over the material processing, and fit the standard Datalogic Scanning Head;

further solutions about different models of lenses and scanning heads will be considered upon request.

The table below lists the standard F-Theta scan lenses currently available:

NOTE:

Definition of Marking Area: square marking field measured on black anodized aluminium plate.

WARNING!

This product was designed to use only certain configurations of F-Theta lens and marking field. If

your needs are not satisfied by current available F-Theta lens configurations please contact

Datalogic for a solution. The use of other F-Theta lenses or operation outside the specified marking

field for a certain F-Theta lens configuration can lead to damage of F-Theta lens, scanning head or

laser source. Such damage is not covered by warranty!

WARNING!

For each F-Theta lens configuration Datalogic recommends the use of certain adapter. This adapter

ensures that residual back reflections caused by F-Theta lens do not damage optics of the scanning

head. The removal of such adapter or its incorrect use (for example incomplete threading, use of

another F-Theta lens adapter, etc.) can lead to damage of the F-Theta lens, scanning head or laser

source. Such damage is not covered by warranty!

NOTE:

Working Distance is defined as the distance between the center of the marking area (defined

in the focal plane) and the last mechanical edge of the F-Theta Scan Lens. Refer to the

following figure.

WD: Working Distance

FD: Fixing Distance

MA: Marking Area

AB: Aiming beam

FB: Focusing beam

Figure 8: Marking area.

NOTE:

For systems equipped with standard F-Theta Scan Lens the focus condition is obtained by

matching the Aiming Beam with the Focusing beam.
