Focus Lens Calibration
To properly use the Honeycomb Cutting Table you NEED to calibrate your focus
lens to the top of the Honeycomb Cutting Table surface. If you do not calibrate the
focus lens the focus carriage may cause damage to your Honeycomb Cutting Table
and focus carriage.
13.
After you have installed the Honeycomb Cutting Table into the
PLS, manually focus to the Honeycomb Cutting Table surface
by following the Focus Tool Method instructions in Section 9-17.
14. Once that is complete, go directly to your System Tab of the
UCP and you will notice that the red CALIBRATE button for the
Cutting Table box will be activated. Click on the CALIBRATE
button. A window will appear. To accept the new Z-height click
on SAVE. You are now done calibrating the new Z-height for
engraving or cutting on the Honeycomb Cutting Table.
When removing the cutting table, lower the engraving table and slide
the table out of the front door. Re-install the exhaust plenum
strip(s). As long as you followed the installation instructions exactly,
it is designed so that you will
NOT need to adjust the adjustable
manifold or the X or Y-axis rulers when re-installing the cutting table.
Focus Lens Kits
There are three optional Focus Lens Kits
available other than the standard 2.0”, they
are the 1.5”, 2.5”, and the 4.0” kits. Included
in these kits are the focus lens (A), #3 mirror
(B), front plate (C), thumbscrews (D), and a
focus tool (E).
Different lenses produce different spot sizes and have different focal ranges. For example, the 1.5” lens
produces a spot size of .003” and has an effective focal range of +/- .075”. This lens can engrave very
fine detail but can only be used on very flat
materials. On the opposite end, the 4.0” lens
has a spot size of .013” but has an effective
focal range of +/- .2”. Although this lens
cannot engrave very fine detail, its focal range
allows you to engrave on slightly rounded or
curved objects without the need for rotation.
Using a baseball as an example, focus the
beam halfway between the highest point and
the lowest point of engraving. Since a 4.0”
lens has a greater focal range than a shorter
lens, you can engrave a considerable distance
around the ball without having to rotate it.
Attempting to engrave further around the ball
will result in a loss of engraving power and a
distorted image.
Refer to the following chart for spot sizes and focal ranges of the lenses available.
