Calibrating the LX2 Distance Sensor

If there is a deviation between the selected cursor position and the actual measurement position during the Auto Measure function, you can calibrate the distance sensor by following the steps below.

1. Prepare materials

(1) Place the processing material in the center of the Base Plate. Ensure it is securely fixed (e.g., with a magnet) and laid flat. You can use a material like paper, wood, or any other material that provides a strong contrast with the engraving effect.

2. Run the "Distance Sensor Calibration" function

(1) Click the gear icon in the top right corner to open the Device Settings interface.

(2) Open the Device Calibration section, find the Distance Sensor Calibration function, and click Start to begin calibration.

(3) Open the Recommended Material List to check if there are corresponding engraving parameters.

If none are available, you can manually adjust the engraving settings to achieve better engraving results.

(4) Click the "Auto Distance Measurement" button and wait for the device to complete the distance measurement.

(5) Click "Rectangle Preview" on the right, and click "Preview" in the pop-up window. Make sure the processing area is within the material's range. If the rectangle preview exceeds the material's boundaries, click "End Preview," adjust the material position, and preview again.

(6) Click "Process" and press the device button to start processing. Wait for the machine to engrave the calibration pattern on the material.

(7) Manually align the probe tip to the center of the pattern. You can check the alignment from the front and the left side to ensure it's positioned correctly.

(8) Then press the device button on the machine. The Distance Sensor Calibration is now complete.

After calibrating the Distance Sensor, we recommend calibrating the Camera next. Following this sequence will provide the most stable and accurate results with LX2's functions:
Distance Sensor → Camera → Red Crosshair.
