Beam alignment
Beam alignment (subroutine L9860)
NOTE: When installing and setting up the system for the first time,
the Beam alignment subroutine must be run before using subroutine
L9861 to calibrate the system .
Subroutine L9860 is used during installation of the NC1 system to
assist with the alignment of the laser beam. The Beam alignment
cycle is used for the following tasks:
n
Checking that the beam is correctly aligned with the machine
axis.
n
Measuring the provisional position of the laser beam in the Z-
axis.
n
Measuring the provisional position of the beam in either the X or
Y-axis. Measurements are taken from the positive and/or negative
sides of the beam.
n
Setting the measuring point along the beam axis at which the tool
is measured.
The provisional values are updated later when the calibration cycle is
run.
Although the Beam alignment subroutine is used mainly during
installation of the NC1 system, it can also be used for routine
