1. Move the processing head over the
material to be engraved by means of
the X/Y position keys (2) on the
keypad.
2. Hang the focus tool (3)
corresponding to the lense on the
external ring of the laser head so that
the focus tool can move unhindered.
3. Move the working table upwards by
pressing the Z position key (1). While
doing this, carefully observe the
focus tool.
4. Before the focus tool reaches the
work piece, move the working table
upwards very slowly and step by step
by briefly tapping the positioning key
(1) until the focus tool tilts to the side
or falls off its position.
Now the lens is focused onto the
surface of the material.
Note when focusing using a focus tool, the standard focus tool supplied with a flexx lens is always
adjusted for a fiber laser source. Therefore it must only be used in conjunction with a fiber laser
source.
Having a machine with a CO
2
laser source use the software focus via JobControl
®
. A manual focusing
via focus tool is not necessary. See chapter "Software focus (flexx lens)".
