4.4 First Steps before Engraving
To prepare your laser for the first engraving tests, perform the following steps:
1. Switch machine on with the ON / OFF switch.
2. The working table automatically references in X/Y/Z direction.
3. Open the protection cover and place work piece on the working table.
Usually you position the work piece into the upper left-hand corner of the
engraving table against the horizontal and vertical rulers. However, any other
position on the engraving table is also possible.
4. Focusing the Laser Beam
For the laser beam in your laser system to be able to engrave and cut
precisely, the energy is focused with a lens system, which is mounted on the
motion system in a lens holder.
The focusing point of the laser beam (for the mid-resolving lens, which is part
of the delivery) is located 5.08 cm (2.0 inch) below the lens.
For optimal processing the surface of the material that you want to engrave or
cut, has to be adjusted to this point.
