ZING 24 ALIGNMENT
5. Open an illustrating program and cre-
ate a new file with the same dimensions
of the Zing 24 bed- 24” x 12”.
• Create a 1/2” x 1/2” vector square and
place it 1” - 2” from the left side of the
page and 1” - 2” from the top of the
page.
•
• Change the job settings to 10% speed
and 10% power and ensure that the
piece size in the driver matches the
page size of your file.
NOTE: If using the Epilog Software Suite,
the file will import with the correct dimen-
sions and there is no need to verify the
piece size.
6. Send the job to the engraver
LASER RADIATION HAZARD
SAFETY GLASSES
7. While keeping one hand on the lid,
press the GO button on the Zing keypad
to begin the job. Pay attention to the
piece of tape on the alignment target
and as soon as a burn mark appears lift
the engraver lid to disable the laser.
NOTE: The laser will only fire if the engrav-
er lid is closed.
8. Press the STOP button on the Zing key-
pad once so that the job pauses but the
carriage remains in the upper lefthand
corner (position #2).Depending on where
the carriage is when pressing STOP, it
may continue moving for a short dis-
tance.
9. Press the POINTER button on the Zing
keypad to turn on the red dot diode.
10. Inspect the location where the red
dot diode shows on the alignment target
relative to the burn mark. If they are not
located at the same point on the align-
ment target, use the adjustment screws
on the red dot diode to align the red dot
diode to the center of the burn mark.
NOTE: At this point in position #2, the burn
mark may appear off center of the align-
ment target- this is expected. This step
is intended to join the red dot diode and
CO2 laser so that they may take the same
path to impact the alignment target at a
similar location.
12. Use the adjustment screws on mir-
ror #2 to move the red dot diode to the
center of the alignment target. Since the
red dot diode and CO2 laser paths are
now joined, adjusting mirror #2 will adjust
them both.
13. Once the red dot diode is aligned over
the center of the alignment target, ap-
ply a dab of super glue or another similar
adhesive to each adjustment screw head
on mirror #2, letting it also drip down
to the adjustment screw plate, thereby
helping to “lock in” the alignment.
Adjusting Position/Mirror #3
1. Locate mirror #3 located on the left side
of the gantry:
