¶ The TS2 10W laser engraving machine uses an automatic focus on the Z-axis.
-
Laser Module Elevation Operation:
- The laser module’s elevation device will move downward to allow the laser probe to approach the engraving surface.
-
Probe Contact and Z-Axis Limit Switch:
- When the probe touches the engraving surface, the Z-axis limit switch is triggered, which is an automatic detection mechanism to ensure that the laser module does not descend too low.
-
Laser Module Returns to Pre-set Height:
- After the limit switch is triggered, the laser module will automatically move upward to the elevation height preset by the user in the software.
-
Auto Focus Completion:
- Once the elevation height is set, the machine will automatically complete the focusing process to ensure a constant distance between the laser module and the engraving surface.
-
Relationship between Elevation Height and Focal Length:
- For example, if the elevation height is set to 7mm, when the laser module moves upward by 7mm, the focal length (i.e., the distance from the laser module to the engraving surface) will be set to 50mm.
-
Importance of Focal Length Setting:
- Correct focal length setting is crucial for the quality of laser engraving and cutting, affecting the concentration of laser energy and the processing effect.
-
Software Settings:
- Users need to correctly set the elevation height in the control software of the laser engraving machine to ensure that the laser module can focus correctly on different materials and thicknesses.
