How to Focus the Lens

Manual Focus:

Focusing the lens is a very important part of running this laser
machine. The machine lens must be focused each time a material
with a different thickness is placed on the working table. The laser
uses highly focused light energy too its job and the focusing of the
lens is necessary, thankfully itis quite easy.
The first step is placing your material on the worktable, next is
locating the focal guide, this should be in your toolbox and will look
like Figure 24b. The focal guide will need to be placed on the ledge
of the nozzle as shown in Figure 24a. While the focal guide sits on
the ledge of the nozzle, use the up and down arrow keys on the
control panel to move the Z-axis (the table) up or down. (It is best
to hold your focal guide in place while you move the table). Once
the material meets the focal guide, your lens is now focused!
✎Note: Always be careful when focusing your lens with
thick material, do not allow the material to collide with
the lens housing. This can cause SERIOUS DAMAGE to the
laser machine.

Auto-Focus:

First, place the material on the working table and press the "Z/U" key on the LED
control panel. Be sure that the nozzle as shown in Figure 24a is positioned above the
material you wish to cut or engrave, not above the bare table.
When your laser head nozzle is above the material, press the "Z/U" key once and then
use your up/down arrow keys to navigate the options until the highlight is on "Auto
Focus". Use the "Enter" key to select it and the Z-axis will automatically travel
upwards until your material touches the nozzle of the laser head., it will then lower to
the perfect focal point. Your lens is now focused, and your machine is ready to cut or
engrave!
