Dual Pointer - Panasonic LP-M Series Operation Manual

2-6-1 Dual pointer

Dual pointer shows the rough indication of the work distance (distance from the head base
to the marking surface). It displays the red point emitted in oblique and the red circle emitted
perpendicularly from the head. The distance where the laser point is closest to the center of
the circle represents the guide of the work distance.
Depending on the required marking quality or installation condition, the dual pointer may
shows not always the appropriate work distance. Confirm the marking quality with the work
distance indicated by the dual pointer and adjust it accurately as appropriate.
Notice
• Use the dual pointer only as the guideline. For obtaining the appropriate marking quality,
fine adjust the distance from the work after marking on an actual object and referring to
its marking positions.
1.
Press [GUIDE].
2.
Select [Dual Pointer], and press [START].
Adjust the work distance so that the point is in the circle inside.
3.
The dual pointer is disappeared by pressing [STOP].
The guide indication is stopped automatically after 1 minute.
Reference
In case of LP-M/LP-Z Series:
• The distance for adjusting the dual pointer can be specified within ±22 mm (LP-M series) or ±25 mm (LP-Z series)
against the work distance (specified value). Press the numerical part of "Z Offset", and specify the displacement value
against the work distance (specified value).
In case of LP-Sxxx type:
• The dual pointer is adjusted according to the distance from the work defined at the factory. When the work distance is
changed by the focus adjustment function, dual pointer does not move with this function, so it cannot be used as the
work distance guide.
In case of LP-SxxxW type:
• The dual pointer is pre-adjusted to the central point between the works. This is not
coupled with the position of distance between the works that is arbitrarily set by the laser
setting.
• The external circle of the guiding laser (circular display) shows the rough indication of
upper/ lower limits for the distance between the works that can be set.
When you change the distance between the works from the central point of distance
between the works, make sure to adjust it so that the point of laser pointer stays inside the external circle of the guiding
laser (circular display).
