How to Get the Correct Focal Length with Safety Enclosure

  • Updated

There are 3 focusing methods you can use to get the correct focal length with Safety Enclosure: Manual Focusing, Automatic Focusing, and Manual Measurement Focusing.

#1 Manual Focusing

Use the up and down buttons to move the Base Plate vertically. The focus is set correctly when the two red dots overlap.

#2 Automatic Focusing

Auto Focus is a Safety Enclosure feature that adjusts the base plate to the optimal focal length after entering the material thickness.

1. If the Base Plate doesn't move correctly (e.g., the item on the Base Plate exceeds 5 kg), focusing will fail. To fix this, restart the Safety Enclosure by turning it off and on again.

2. If automatic focusing completes but the red dots don't overlap: ① If the focal length is correct, perform a Red Dots Calibration. ② If the focal length is incorrect, operate a Tolerance Compensation Calibration to adjust it.

#3 Manual Measurement Focusing

Manually raise or lower the Base Plate. Then, use a ruler to measure the distance between the Base Plate and the Field Lens of the Laser Unit. The distance should be exactly 150 mm for correct focus.
