Lasing Position Check - Panasonic LP-S Series Maintenance Manual

2-3-6 Lasing position check

„ Dual pointer function
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.
„ Guide laser function
The marking contents and marking field can be traced with the red guide laser. The marking work position can be adjusted
visually by using the guide laser function.
Dual pointer
• Use the dual pointer and guide laser only as the guideline. For obtaining the appropriate marking quality, fine adjust the
work position and setting position of the target object by checking the actual lasing results.
• When the fiber unit is removed and re-installed, the marking position might be misaligned relative to the guide laser
radiation position. To align the marking position, calibrate the marking field with following the procedures described in
Operation Manual.
• Refer to Operation Manual of the laser marker for the guide laser and dual pointer details.
• The guide indication is stopped automatically after passing 1 minute from start-up.
LP-Sxxx type only:
• 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.
LP-SxxxW type only:
• 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).
