COMPex Level-C Course (Service)

The COMPex C-Level course prepares students to operate, maintain, and service the laser. Students will be informed about the safety aspect of the laser and all main sources of hazards. The course content ranges from the theory of laser function, laser operation, and laser maintenance to service procedures and troubleshooting. Extensive hands-on laboratory time allows students to test their knowledge and develop skills to ensure that they are capable of operating, maintaining, and servicing the laser safely.

Topics: Function of all main modules like laser tube, HV circuit, Thyratron, gas handling, water cooling, energy monitoring, and internal and external communication; safety aspect and sources of hazard; operation of the laser in different working modes and duty cycles; performance check; laser maintenance procedures like new fill, optic cleaning/exchange, alignment, calibration, and halogen filter exchange; service procedures like measuring HV curve, pulse duration, jitter and delay; use of service tools for troubleshooting; exchange of all modules, including the laser tube.

Prerequisites: Complete product knowledge requires a good understanding of electronic and optical systems. Students should be able to read and speak English or German. A good knowledge of how to read schematics and/or block diagrams would be very helpful.Remote Training Option: On request. Please contact your Coherent representative to clarify possible options.
