Epilog Laser Fusion M2 32 Manual

Focus, home and table calibration

Fusion M2/32/40 focus, home and table calibration

The purpose of this document is to provide step by step instructions for calibrating the

focus gauge, auto-focus, table home, x-y home, squaring of vector grid and vector grid

home for the Fusion model Epilog laser all in a single procedure. It's important to follow

the flow of this procedure and not jump around. Starting half way doesn't do any good

because it all starts with a properly calibrated focus gauge.

All too often we operate our lasers not properly calibrated and accept the quality as-is or

compensate for poor quality by bypassing features / functions that are built into the

Fusion for use. Poor quality / subpar engraving is not acceptable on an Epilog Laser!

This process should take 10-20 minutes but will save you a ton of time when you're

trying to figure out why the quality of your Aztec calendar looks like it was ran over by a

forklift.

Calibrating the manual focus gauge:

Tools needed: Anodized aluminum plates, small Philips head screwdriver.

 Start with a new page in Corel; create a black filled box roughly 2" x 1" in the top

left hand corner.

 Manually focus and engrave at anodized aluminum settings for your particular

wattage.

 Turn off the LED cabinet lighting and start the job. While the job is running, jog

the joystick to focus and slowly raise or drop the table until the reflection of

engraving of anodized is at its brightest. Stop the job and reset.

 Once reset, place the manual gauge in place and check the focal point in

reference to the anodized aluminum plate.

Page 2  Adjust the lower part of focus gauge so that it’s barely touching the top of anodized plate. Setting table home: Tools needed: a sheet of paper.  Lower the Fusion table midway and remove the vector cutting grid.  Under the configuration menu on display, change vector grid installed to NO, save settings.
Page 3  Using the calipers, tape measure or ruler measure the distance from left edge and top edge of anodized plate to outline of box. The measurements should be 1” or very close to it. If off, note how much it’s off by in both x and y. ...

Tighten the left Allen screw of top ruler bar.  Confirm red dot pointer is still aligned to top left corner of vector scored box. Squaring vector grid ruler bars: Tools needed: vector scored anodized aluminum plate from previous step.
