The LaserPecker LX2 incorporates two types of laser positioning offsets:
- Red Crosshair – Laser Output Offset
- Distance-Sensor Probe – Laser Output Offset
This guide explains the definitions and distinct roles of these offsets in the Laser Module’s positioning system.
1. Red Crosshair – Laser Output Offset
At the bottom of the Laser Module, there is a measurable distance between the Red Crosshair Positioning light and the Laser Output. This distance is referred to as the Red Crosshair – Laser Output Offset.
Specifications for LX2:
- Y-axis offset: 21.79 mm
- X-axis offset: 0 mm
- Applies to all LX2 Laser Modules (2W, 20W, 40W)
Purpose and Function:
The Red Crosshair helps verify the processing area during preview. To ensure processing accuracy, the system automatically compensates for this offset:
- During preview, the Laser Module adjusts according to the preset offset distance relative to the processing area coordinates. As a result, the Red Crosshair aligns precisely with the actual processing boundary, eliminating any deviation.
2. Distance-Sensor Probe – Laser Output Offset
Similarly, there is a physical distance between the Distance-Sensor Probe and the Laser Output at the bottom of the Laser Module. This is known as the Distance-Sensor Probe – Laser Output Offset.
Specifications for LX2:
- Y-axis offset: 17.54 mm
- X-axis offset: -39.3 mm
- Applies to all LX2 Laser Modules (2W, 20W, 40W)
Purpose and Function:
When using the Auto Measure function:
- The Laser Module automatically compensates for this offset based on the preset distance.
- It moves the Laser Module so that the probe aligns exactly with the selected measurement point.
- This ensures accurate focal length measurement and precise laser positioning.
