  • Page 29: Calibrate Toolhead Focus

    3.2 Calibrate Toolhead Focus How It Works: Focal Point To achieve the best focusing result, let the focal point fall right on the surface of the material throughout engraving and cutting. How It Works: Auto Focus The focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to the focal point of the lens.
  • Page 30 Start Toolhead Focus Calibration On the Touchscreen, tap Start to enter Toolhead Focus Calibration. The machine will move the 10W Laser Module to the central position above the laser engraving and cutting platform. Place the calibration card or a piece of A4 paper between the 10W Laser Module and laser engraving and cutting platform.

  • Page 31: Calibrate The Thickness Measurement System

    3.3 Calibrate the Thickness Measurement System How It Works: Measure Material Thickness The 10W Laser Module contains a thickness measurement system that uses the triangulation technique to measure material thickness. Firstly, the red laser emitter projects a red dot on the material surface. Then, the camera captures an image of the red dot.
  • Page 32 Ensure that the red dot falls within the framed area of the calibration target, and click Capture. The machine will automatically capture the first and second calibration points to complete the calibration and measure the thickness of the calibration target to verify the result.

  • Page 33: Calibrate The Camera

    3.4 Calibrate the Camera Remove the calibration target. Fasten a piece of blank A4 paper on the center of the laser engraving and cutting platform, and click Next. Put on the laser safety goggles, and tap Start. The machine will cut a square on the paper and use the square to calibrate the camera.

  • Page 34: Fasten The Material

    3.5 Fasten the Material Choose a material that is safe for laser engraving and cutting and has a flat surface. Remove the cut paper. Fasten the material on the center of the laser engraving and cutting platform by using the silicone plugs. You can also fasten materials using other tools.

  • Page 39 If one of the following conditions happens, thickness measurement may fail: The material thickness is over 50 mm. The material texture is transparent, or the material surface is glossy or specular. The material color is red or black. If the thickness measurement fails, you can unselect Auto Mode on the Start Job window so that you can enter the Manual Mode.
