Focus Lens Kits - Universal Laser Systems X-600 Safety, Installation, Operation, And Basic Maintenance Manual

Focus Lens Kits

There are three optional Focus Lens Kits
available other than the standard 2.0", they
are the 1.5", 2.5", and the 4.0" kits. Included
in these kits are the focus lens, #3 mirror, front
plate, thumbscrews, and a focus tool.
Different lenses produce different spot sizes and have different focal ranges. For example, the 1.5"
lens produces a spot size of .003" and has an effective focal range of +/- .075". This lens can
engrave very fine detail but can only be used on very flat
materials. On the opposite end, the 4.0" lens has a spot
size of .013" but has an effective focal range of +/- .2".
Although this lens cannot engrave very fine detail, its
focal range allows you to engrave on slightly rounded or
curved objects without the need for rotation. Using a
baseball as an example, focus the beam halfway
between the highest point and the lowest point of
engraving. Since a 4.0" lens has a greater focal range
than a shorter lens, you can engrave a considerable
distance around the ball without having to rotate it.
Attempting to engrave further around the ball will result in
a loss of engraving power and a distorted image.
Refer to the following chart for spot sizes and focal ranges of the lenses available.
Rotary Fixture
The Rotary Fixture has been designed to engrave
cylindrical objects. Two attachments come with the fixture,
a cone shaped disk attached to the motorized end of the
fixture and an inverted cone shaped disk attached to the
adjustable end of the fixture. These attachments are used
to hold wineglasses, mugs, cups, etc. To make it easier to
understand, we will illustrate a step-by-step procedure to
engrave an image on a glass.
NOTE: These instructions apply to many different models even if your system has a smaller or
larger field size.
Installation
 Turn the laser system ON.
Make sure AUTOFOCUS is turned OFF because the Rotary Fixture was not designed to work

with AUTOFOCUS.
Remove any materials that may be underneath the engraving table and lower the table ALL THE

WAY down to the bottom or at least far enough down so that the focus carriage will clear the top
of the Rotary Fixture when it is installed on the table. Now, turn the laser system OFF.
