Laser head operation

Pointing laser

Turn on the pointing laser (see CNC setups in section 2 of this manual for specific information on the pointing laser) to

verify that the beam is not obstructed when it exits the cutting head nozzle. Place the nozzle extension near 18 mm and

install a 2 mm nozzle in the cutting head. Place a sheet of white paper below the nozzle to verify that the red beam exits

the nozzle.

Beam centering

Place a sheet of white paper below the nozzle and adjust the “front to back” and the “left to right” lens adjustment

screws to align the beam in the center of the nozzle orifice. For more precise beam centering, use the tape shot

procedure described in this section.

• Rotate the “front to back” screw clockwise to move the lens toward the back of the cutting head, or

counterclockwise to move the lens toward the front of the cutting head.

• Rotate the “left to right” screw clockwise to move the lens toward the left, or counterclockwise to move the lens

to the right.
