Transmitter and Receiver Adjustment
4.1
Initial Alignment
When the system is first installed, a complete alignment of the laser transmitter and receiver
is required. Refer to
LZS-2 Alignment Guide (LS-CS-M-101)
for detailed step by step
instructions.
4.2
Mounting Brackets
The vertical bracket is manufactured from lightweight alloy extrusion, providing a strong and
stable platform for the laser transmitter and receiver, which ensure accurate laser alignment
during machine operation.

Tool Change
When changing the tools the brackets can be quickly moved up and locked clear so that the
punch can be removed from the ends of the press brake. To move the brackets for tool
change simply place your hand under the transmitter or receiver unit and gently slide the
bracket up. Pull the locking pin out so the bracket can slide to the maximum upper position
then release the locking pin. The locking pin is spring loaded so the bracket will now be held
in the upper position and clear for tool change. After tool change, place your hand under the
transmitter or receiver unit, pull and hold the locking pin then gently lower the bracket to the
original position (the original position is maintained by the clamp/handle assembly), then
release the locking pin.
4.4
Adjustment After Tool Change
Any time the tools are changed the LZS-2 transmitter and receiver must be checked for
alignment with the new tool. If the initial alignment was performed correctly, all that is usually
required after a tool change is to confirm the vertical alignment of the transmitter and receiver.
