Checking the Alignment for Beam Strength for the First Axis
Measurement
6-20 Measurements Reference Guide
11 If you see one dot, go directly to step 12. If you see two dots, slowly turn
the bezel until they overlap. Then go to step 12.
12 Adjust the reflector’s tilt until the overlapping dots are centered on the
exit port and create a small halo around it.
13 Set the laser head’s turret ring to STRAIGHT.
14 Set the laser head’s upper port to the large aperture.
15 Turn the bezel slightly until the beam strength displayed on the Set Up
Laser: SQUARENESS screen is at least 60 percent.
16 Adjust the tilt until you achieve the highest beam strength possible.
You are now ready to check the alignment for beam strength.
Checking the Alignment for Beam Strength
for the First Axis Measurement
Follow the instructions in “Checking the Alignment for Beam Strength” in
Chapter 5.
You are now ready to make the first axis measurement.
Making the First Axis Measurement
In this procedure, you will make manual measurements as you advance
the machine’s moveable part. The instructions explain how to make
measurements using either the Record button displayed on the screen or
the optional remote control unit. See Chapter 1, “Planning Your
Measurements,” for a description of other triggering methods.
To make the squareness measurement for the first axis, follow these steps:
1 Move the moveable optic so it is at the start position.
