2. Now comes a very important step If you want to adjust a correct laser height for all tools you read in with any files we have prepared a special setting If you go on register options and on machine and advanced you find the following laser menu In this menu you can insert the height of the focus point in the field Z offset If you happen to no tice that there is a dewation from the drilling routing spindle to the laser you can also adjust this offset with the fields X offset and Y offset We will explain further down how this is done To get the correct laser height for every desired line we need a certain factor to calculate the correct height for the laser In the example above we calculated that we need to increase the height of the laser by 0 555mm if we increase the line width by 0 1 mm Or 5 55mm if we change line width by 1 mm 5 55 mm is our height factor If we inverse the calculation we can say if we increase the height by 1 mm we increase the line width by 1 5 55mm 0 18018 0 18018 is our width factor and this factor we insert in the field width factor With this factor RoutePro3000 will calculate the correct laser height for any possible line width between 0 05 and Reference 129 5mm Determine Offset between spindle and laser head It can happen that spindle tip and laser beam do not focus on the same spot If so it is very easy to determine and correct that offset To do s
