Centering the beam The beam must be re-centered every time after the mode or beam has been adjusted or after cleaning or changing the focusing lens. Only centric beam emission through the nozzle can guarantee satisfactory cutting results regardless of the direction. At the same time, it is guaranteed that the nozzle wall will not reflect the beam and that the cutting gas flow will be directed evenly around the focus spot.
Page 435
Installing the setting device The setting device (see Fig. 23177) is mounted and fastened onto the cutting head’s cutting insert from below. The contact surfaces must be clean. The device may not be tilted. 1. Unscrew the adjusting screws (1) and dial gauges (2) from the device up to the red marker (8).
Page 436
Localizing the beam The CP_TAPESHOT.LST service program is used to trigger a laser pulse. 1. Remove sensor body connection. Remove the protective plug from the cutting insert. Mount the setting device. 4. Stick adhesive strips onto the nozzle orifice. 5. Position cutting head in the center of the workspace in jog mode.
Page 437
Adjusting the beam The sensor body (7) is attached to a slide (+1.5 mm path movement in X and Y direction). The sensor body and slide are fixed with the clamping screws (6). The sensor body and nozzle are connected rigidly. The beam is adjusted by moving the sensor body.
1. Move the sensor body using the adjusting screws (1). The adjustment value can be read off the opposite dial gauge (2). 2. Trigger the laser pulse again and, if necessary, correct the beam. Repeat this procedure until the beam is centered. Use a new adhesive strip each time.
Page 439
Reference value Every lens is different in its geometrical and optical properties. That is why the reference value must be determined for each cutting head in combination with the beam guideway of the machine. The reference value is the value by which the permanently defined setting value on the scale has to be adjusted.
Page 440
AutoLas Plus function The AutoLas Plus mirror serves to compensate the focus shift and the program-controlled setting of the focus position. The surface of the AutoLas Plus mirror is intentionally reshaped by the pressure of the cooling water. As a result, the angle of divergence of the laser beam is adjusted in such a way that it is possible to shift the focus systematically upwards or downwards during machining.

7,5" 5" Auto focus mirror Sheet surface Lens Recommended values for the automatic adjustment Fig. 23180 range Exceeding the automatic For technological reasons it may be necessary to work with a AutoLas Plus setting which is outside the AutoLas Plus automatic adjustment range setting range.
Adjusting the setting on the cutting head The setting is set on the cutting head by using the focal adjustment screw. You can feel the focus adjustment screw snapping while it is turned. Each time it snaps the height is adjusted by 0.1 mm. Example: The setting dimension in the laser technology table is 1.1 mm.
Determining focus position f=0 The program cuts a reference part out of the sheet with slats of equal size. The individual slats are cut consecutively, each with a different focus position, resulting in the kerf between the slats being changed continuously. The numerical value engraved for each gap defines the adjustment value by which the fixed setting value (-3 mm or -5 mm) has to be corrected on the focus adjustment screw.

Determining and setting the focus position The focus position is the vertical position of the focus point in relation to the sheet surface. The exact position of the focus point is important for good welding results. As a rule, when welding, the focus point f=0 lies on the sheet surface, which corresponds to a nozzle distance of 15 mm.
Utility program CP_FOCUS_WELD Determining the focus The focus position of f=0 is determined using the utility program CP_FOCUS_WELD. The program makes a general distinction position between approximate and fine-calibration searches. • Only approximate searches are offered and performed with machines lacking AutoLas Plus. Approximate search means: the actual focus position of f=0 is determined, together with the Deviation from nominal dimension.
Page 452
Welding table 1111 The utility program CP_FOCUS_WELD works with the welding table 1111. The welding table is designed for laser output 5000 W, St37 and sheet thickness 4 mm. The parameters programmed in the welding table are preset Recommended values that can be edited by the user as needed.
Setting the welding head to the nominal dimension To determine the actual focus position, it is first necessary to set the welding nozzle to a defined dimension: the nominal dimension. Differences are made, depending on the focal length. Note When the nozzle is shifted mechanically, the joint offset of the Z axis (tool length) will always need to be redetermined afterwards: see Section 7.2 "Determining joint offset Z axis (tool length)".
Focus search with machines without AutoLas Plus Focus search Only an approximate search is carried out on machines that do not have AutoLas Plus. The Deviation from nominal dimension is determined. The length of the welding nozzle is adjusted to the new nominal dimension, after which a monitoring of the results of the approximate search is carried out.
