FOCUSING
Focusing the laser head is required
to achieve optimal results with your
Mr Beam II.
Since the laser light leaves the laser head
in a cone shape, there is only one point
at which it is bundled to the maximum,
the focus point. In this point your
Mr Beam II has the maximum perfor-
mance and highest precision. Therefore,
the focus point should be at the height of
the material to be processed. To do this,
the laser head must be manually adjusted
to the material height.
For best results, the distance between the
lower edge of the laser head and the upper
edge of the material to be processed must
be 10mm. Use the Mr Beam Focus Tool for
this.
Coarse focusing
There are four stages for coarse focusing
of the laser head. For this purpose, the
laser head can be mounted in different
positions on the carriage of the X-axis of
your Mr Beam II. This is done without tools
by simple form-fitting. It is not necessary
to disconnect the ribbon cable.
Warning: The ribbon cable may only be
plugged in and out if the Mr Beam II is
shut down and turned off!
Failure to do so will result in the inopera-
bility of Mr Beam II!
Fine focusing
The fine focusing is done by a thumb
screw on the laser head as shown in the
illustrations.
Note: The focus must be readjusted each
time the material is changed.
FOCUSING
4. Positioning focus tool
Place the focus tool on the material and
the cross under the laser head.
2. Coarse focusing
The laser head can be mounted at four
different positions for coarse focusing.
1. Position the laser head
Move the laser head over the material by
double-clicking on the working area.
3. Precision focusing
Open the screw on the left side of the
laser head to move it up and down.
5. Move the laser head
Move the laser head down until it
touches the cross of the focus tool.
6. Fixing the laser head
Tighten the screw again moderately
and remove the focus tool.
