4.6 First Steps before Marking

To prepare your laser for the first marking tests, perform the following steps:

1. Switch machine on with the ON / OFF switch.

2. Close the top cover.

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

working table against the horizontal and vertical rulers. However, any other

position on the working 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 depends in the installed lens. It is

measured from the lens to the material surface

For optimal processing the surface of the material that you want to engrave or cut, must be

adjusted to this point.
