Fusion M2/32/40 focus, home and table calibration  

 

The purpose of this document is to provide step by step instructions for calibrating the 
focus gauge, auto-focus, table home, x-y home, squaring of vector grid and vector grid 
home for the Fusion model Epilog laser all in a single procedure. 

It’s important to follow 

the flow of this procedure and not jump around. Starting half way doesn’t do any good 
because it all starts with a properly calibrated focus gauge.  

All too often we operate our lasers not properly calibrated and accept the quality as-is or 
compensate for poor quality by bypassing features / functions that are built into the 
Fusion for use. Poor quality / subpar engraving is not acceptable on an Epilog Laser!  

This process should take 10-20 minutes but will save you a ton of time 

when you’re 

trying to figure out why the quality of your Aztec calendar looks like it was ran over by a 
forklift.  

Calibrating the manual focus gauge: 

Tools needed: 

Anodized aluminum plates, small Philips head screwdriver.

 

  Start with a new page in Corel; 

create a black filled box roughly 2” x 1” in the top 

left hand corner.  

 

  Manually focus and engrave at anodized aluminum settings for your particular 

wattage.  

  Turn off the LED cabinet lighting and start the job. While the job is running, jog 

the joystick to focus and slowly raise or drop the table until the reflection of 
engraving of anodized is at its brightest. Stop the job and reset.  

  Once reset, place the manual gauge in place and check the focal point in 

reference to the anodized aluminum plate.
