b) Focusing
i) The laser must be in focus. If not in focus, you will get patchy or fuzzy engraving.
ii) Thickness entry in Materials Database page should match height shown on Template.
Do not enter any other value for thickness. Some tolerance of actual bottle height is
expected.
iii) Option: use the Focus Tool for a manual check on focus. (If desired. This should
not be necessary.) To use the Focus Tool, go to the Viewer Screen Focus View – see
instructions in manual. If focus is incorrect, enter thickness in the Materials
Database page so that the machine will correctly focus. A manual adjustment with
the focus tool will be ignored because the machine will focus to the thickness setting
in the Materials Database page.
6) Powering Down the Laser System
a) Move the Worktable up so that you can insert foam rubber to secure the Arm.
b) Power down the machine.
7) Transporting The Laser System
a) Disconnect laser machine from the filter cart (cables, cover and hose)
b) Secure Arm and Lens Carriage
c) Remove Filters from Filter Cart so that it can be laid on its side.
d) Shield with moving/ padded blankets
Take care not to jolt or overturn the laser machine as it could dislocate the CO2 Laser
Cartridge. If machine is jolted and seems not to be marking, call ULS technical support.
8) Maintenance
a) Maintenance Dialogs – time to do cleaning
i) Check optics – appears after 10 iterations.
ii) Check rails, belts and bearings – appears after 50 iterations.
b) Basic Cleaning – Section 5-2 in laser manual shows proper cleaning techniques.
i) Optics Cleaning – Clean when dirty. Used canned air to dust off or dry optics.
Never clean optics immediately after use, allow time for optics to cool.
ii) Bearing, Rail and Belt Cleaning – use cotton swab and water/soap solution (Simple
