Laser Focusing
In laser engraving, lenses are used to focus the laser beam. As the beam passes through the lens, it's refracted or reflected, which changes its direction and focus.
Without proper focusing, the laser beam can become defocused, resulting in unclear, blurry, or uneven engravings.
Proper focusing ensures that the laser beam converges at the correct point, concentrating its energy for high-quality engravings.
LP2 Electric Stand & Focusing Specs
The recommended focal distance of the LP2 is 110 mm which can be achieved using one of the following 3 focusing methods: L-shape range rod focusing, measurement focusing and protection cover focusing
The travel distance of the LP2 Laser Unit when attached to the Electric Stand is from 110 mm to 230 mm, measured from the Base Plate to the rim of the Field Lens.
Press the up or down button at the top of the Electric Stand tower to raise or lower the Laser Unit 1 mm. Press and hold the up or down button for continuous movement.
When using the LP2 on the Electric Stand, the maximum material thickness is 120 mm.
LP2 Focusing Methods
The standard LP2 setup is with the Laser Unit attached to the Electric Stand. In this configuration, there are 3 focusing methods:
L-shape Range Rod Focusing, Measurement Focusing and Protection Cover Focusing.
1. L-shape Range Rod Focusing
Position the engraving object, lower the L-shaped distance gauge, and adjust the height of the electric stand so that the bottom of the L-shape range rod touches the surface of the object. After measuring, retract the L-shape range rod.
2. Measurement Focusing
Use a ruler to measure the distance from the bottom of the laser unit to the material you're engraving. Adjust the height of the electric stand until the lens is 110 mm away from the material.
3. Protection Cover Focusing
Install the protection cover and adjust the electric stand's height until the bottom of the cover just touches the material to be engraved. This will ensure proper focusing.
