Make sure the table is clear of any objects that could obstruct the movement of the motion system.

Home XY

the UCP.
2. Remove the Lens Kit from the Focus Carriage. Unscrew all 3 thumbscrews and pull the face plate out.
Place the Lens Kit in a clean, safe place.

should appear on the tape. The red diode beam should be fairly centered over the hole.
Adjustments and Settings
NOTE:
THE RED DIODE IS ONLY A GUIDE. The red diode may be slightly off-center compared to the burn
mark you will make in the following steps, we recommend you make a burn mark for best results.
4. Using the Focus Feature on the Viewer Tab of the UCP, verify the position of the red diode beam relative
to the hole in the focus carriage in the top left-hand corner of the table (closest to the beam window). If
the diode is fairly centered, within 1/8 of an inch to the center of the hole in the focus carriage, proceed
to step 10. If not, continue at step 5.
5. Turn OFF the VLS system and unplug it.
6. Open the rear cover to its resting position to have access to the laser.
7. Verify that the Laser is installed properly by following the Laser Removal procedure.
8. Make sure the system is level by placing a bubble level on the frame of the cart across the two front
casters, then on the two rear casters. Adjust the level if necessary by loosening the locknut and turning
the adjustment nut. Retighten the appropriate locknuts against the leg of the cart.
