Lens Kits
There are three Focus Lens Kits available for your laser system; 2.0, 1.5, and 4.0,
along with the High Power Density Focusing Optics (HPDFO). Included with each kit
is its own calibrated focus tool.
Different lenses produce different spot sizes and have different focal ranges. For
example, the 1.5 lens produces a spot size of 0.003” (0.076 mm) and has an
effective focal range of +/- 0.075” (1.91 mm). This lens can engrave very fine detail
but can only be used on very flat materials. On the opposite end of the spectrum,
the 4.0 lens has a spot size of 0.013” (0.330 mm), but has an effective focal range of +/- 0.2” (5.08 mm) making it
much less sensitive to flatness of material and accuracy of focus but with the tradeoff of a larger spot size.
Contact Universal Laser Systems customer support for help in choosing the right lens for your application.
Automation Interface
The Automation Interface provides six inputs to initiate various laser system functions using signals from
external devices, such as PLCs and provides two outputs for polling laser system status. The Automation
Interface is automatically detected upon power-up and is configured from the System Tab in the UCP. If the
Automation Interface is not present, the controls for the Automation Interface on the systems tab of the UCP
will not be visible.
CAUTION: ULS does not authorize or support third party safety devices via the Automation Interface. Outputs
are intended to be used for informational purposes such as to indicate error conditions; they are not intended to
drive external devices.
Installation
1. Ensure power is off to the engraver and any accessories such as the compressor.
2. Using the supplied patch cable, plug one end into either one of the accessory ports in the back of
the machine as shown below.
