Lasever cant mount on a 3.5mm baseplate...

[borgqueenx]

While lasever first said it was ok, now he says it is a problem. They say 3,5mm is a too thin plate to mount the pbs ect on like here:

For me it cant be thicker then 3,5mm because thats the beam height im working with. Cant lasever mount the parts on the thin plate and then use glue or something?
Or is a 3,5mm plate fine in the first place? They asked for 5mn but i think 1,5mm will make the beam enter my galvo's to high.

those requirements are probably due to thermal and rigidity constraints that dont get met by the 3.5mm plate. an easy way to work around the beam height issue is to use a pair of steerable mirror mounts (like mm1's).

bounce the beam into the first one and use it to angle the beam up, then bounce the beam into the second one, and use it to level the beam at whatever height you need. this is called "double bouncing" and it makes alignment much easier.

here's an example:

I think its because the parts would be too loose on 3,5mm. I have a 10mm baseplate so that wouldnt be a huge problem.

There is a problem on the beam height. You want*28.5. The beam height is 25 of the LSR532NL. Then the base plate is only 3.5mm. It is too thin.*Too thin a board will get wingle and cricle easily. Can we make beam height larger like 30mm?

Nice picture, but i dont have room for those mounts:/

Okay lasever now said:

* As you know, a baseplate is flat on its surface, right ?
** But 3.5mm is too thin to keep flat when bearing the module on it.
** The surface of the baseplate will be distorted because of the weight on it.

Anyone can help me? Is this making so big distortions that the green will move micrometers so it will be out of line of other colors?

3.5mm baseplate? why not use a sheet of tinfoil

[swamidog]

yes. don't use anything thinner than 6.35mm.

Put a spacer under your scanners etc.

Seconded, I did this to match my highest beam height:

[borgqueenx]

ok a spacer it is, thanks.
i dont got alot of other options

Yes do a plastic one great for tranferring the heat from your scanners. You can prepair the email upfront to send it to DT that your scanners are broke
