Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A hose and cable routing system for routing and flexing a coolant supply hose (52), a coolant return hose (54), and an electrical cable (60) to a laser system (36) mounted on a movable optical carriage (38) in an imaging system (10) without introducing mechanical disturbances to the optical carriage (38). The hose and cable routing system includes a support tray (122), mounted to the imaging system (10), for supporting the coolant hoses (52, 54) and electrical cable (60), and a movable support bracket (76) for supporting and running the coolant hoses (52, 54) and electrical cable (60) from the support tray (122) to the optical carriage (38). A track (84) is provided to guide the movable support bracket (76) along the imaging system in response to a displacement of the optical carriage (38). A vibration isolator (102) is mounted between the support bracket (76) and the optical carriage (38). Other embodiments of the hose and cable routing system are also disclosed.
