FOCUSING
Focusing the laser head is required
to achieve optimal results with your
Mr Beam.
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 has the maximum performance
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. 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 Mr Beam is shut
down and turned off!
Failure to do so will result in the inopera-
bility of Mr Beam!
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.
