OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR LS SERIES

How to focus the Lens

Focusing the lens must be re-done every time a new material thickness is placed on the

working platform. The laser used highly focused energy to do its job, focusing becomes

very important, and fortunately, very easy. In the picture below you can see the three

components associated with correctly focusing

the laser head. The focus guide, supplied with

every laser, is placed upon the material used

for the current job. The Z axis is moved by

pressing the up or down arrow until the top of

the focus guide lines up with the joint where

the lens housing and bottom nozzle meet.

That’s it. Your laser is now focused. That’s the

science of focusing, now the art of focusing is

simply adjusting in small increments up or down for different effects. As you get

comfortable in the use of your laser these variables can be experimented with for all

kinds of interesting results.

Always be careful when focusing thick material not to allow material to collide with the

lens housing. This can cause serious damage to the laser machine.

Using the Easy Focus Option

The easy focus probe, an option on earlier machines, but standard on all our current models

that offer a z-axis is a fast and easy way to get the material in perfect focus.

The picture before the above picture shows the LED pad with the z-axis button pressed. In

this position just press the datum button after placing material on the working platform. The

z axis will automatically travel up until touching the probe, then back down to the perfect

focus point. That’s it. Simple and fast.

The probe can be easily adjusted through the software to work with any size lens.
