click Normal Cut parameters setup on left, then get following Fig 3-4：

Fig 3-4: Normal cut parameters setup

 Work Area：

19
 The settings should according to your machine model and size, For this kind of
machine,you should not set the Height of work area。

 Axies Parameters Setup：

Inpulse Amount: Before you set the pulse Amount, you have to check which port is
ON on the step or servo motor driver. For the USB machine, we use to set port 6 is
ON on the step motor driver.So the pulse number is 12800. for servo motor , we
usually set 12800.

X-Move / Y-Move / Z-Move: the distance of the machine move when send Inpulse
Amount inpulse. 50 means sending 12800 inpulse , the machine move 50 mm. Please
see Chapter Calibration / Units calibration. For this kind of machine,you should not set the
Y-move and Z-Move。

 Velocity Setup：

 Start Velocity: The start speed of processing. Set it 10.

 X-Max Vel：The X Max speed of processing when turning. Set it 15.
Y-Max Vel：The X Max speed of processing when turning. Set it 10. For this kind of
machine,you should not set the Y-Max Vel。
 Curvature: The setup of lubricity degree of curve. Set it 25 for the normal. If you set
it high, the speed should be very fast and with some vibration, Normally, you have to

20
 set this parameter according to you design and the cutting performance.
 None Velocity: Distance traveled per unit time.
 None ACC: A rate of increase of velocity.
The None Velocity and None ACC are used for control the laser head speed when there
is no processing object and without laser output. These parameters should close to the
parameter in the processing parameter. If there is big gap between the processing speed
and none velocity and none ACC, it might cause the vibration also.

3.11.2 Galvo Parameters Setup：

click Galvo Parameters Setup on left, then get following Fig 3-5：

Fig 3-5: Galvo Parameters Setup

 Galvanometer Parameter Setup:

21
Use Calibration File: First, it must be checked, and then click “browse” to use
calibration file. When it checked, the button “Browse” can be used:

Browse: when checked “Use Calibration File”, click this button to select the
calibration file you want to load!
Galvanometer 1 / Galvanometer 2 / Rotate Angle: when selected a calibration file,
they will fill automaticly, they indicate the galvo’s unit and Rotate Angle.

Galvanometer Work Area: Set the Area of Galvo works, the two parameters can’t
be bigger than the limited size which has calculated according to the calibration file. If
we set the Width or the Height too big, you will get following box:

22
  Process Setup：

Curve Close Length: One process object have some gap between one point to it’s
nearby, if the gap is small than the value you have set, the software will ignore the
gap to improve the processing efficiency. Usually,We set 0.2!
Min length: One process object perimeter is less than the value you have set, the
software will ignore this object to improve the processing efficiency(the machine won’t
process this object). Usually,We set 0.2!
 Galvanometer None Speed ： The speed when there is no processing object and
without laser output.
 Position Delay: Set a delay time when the laser arrived certain point without laser
output, this parameter will do good for processing. But if it too big, it will take more
time to process. We set it 200, if the process result is not good enough, you can
make it bigger.
Attention：The Parameters in Galvo & Normal Cut Setup must be according to
the machine you have bought!

Calibration

Calibration contains four part: Normal Unit Calibration, Galvo Calibration, distance of
Normal and Galvo calibration and Rotate Angle Calibration.

10.1 Normal Unit Calibration

Normal Unit Calibration includes: Normal Head Unit Calibration, Sending Device Unit
Calibration(if the machine contains sending device).
The purpose of this calibration is to make sure the X-Move / Y- Move / Z-Move in page
Normal Cut parameter setup are right!
The Calibration Method is following:
find this interface in the software, Manual Layout:

Connect the machine with the computer first.

Put some paper on the laser head and then press the pre-adjust button on the control
panel.
The laser head will give a spot on the paper.
And then you can put 200 in the blank and click the X+ let the laser head move
200mm.
Press the pre-adjust button on the control pane again to make another spot.
Measure up the distance between the two spots.
Mark measured value as A.

59
 Find the below picture in the software:

Mark the number in Blank as B.

Then the exact number you should put in the is D=A*B/C

A=the real cutting size
B=the number in the X move C= your command size 200mm
D=the true number you should put in the X move blank.
For example:
C = 200, B = 32.04, and you measured only 199, that is A = 199
So it indicate 50 is not right number we need, the exact number we need is D = A*B/C
= 199*32.04/200 = 31.8798.
Normally, the Y move is the same with X. For Z-Move, You should press the Z+ or Z- on
the control panel to let Z moving.

10.2 Galvo Calibration

Make sure the machine is connected to the computer first. Click icon to calibrate step by

step.

10.2.1 Set Calibration Energy and Speed Layout

This is the first step for Galvo Calibration ，you should set an acceptable laser energy and
speed for calibration. You can also click Use Calibration File button to load a calibration file,
and calibrate basic on it. See Fig 10-1

60

10.2.2 Rectangle Calibration Layout

Fig 10-2 Rectangle Calibration Layout

Step 1: Mark Direction calibration

Click button，the machine will mark a rectangle，if

the rectangle is too big or too small, it will affect our calibration result, we need to Calibration
the rectangle size on the control panel, Enter Proofread / Rectangle ，then Set “X-Scale”、“Y-
Scale”value to calibrate the rectangle size.

62
 After calibrate the rectangle size, click the button again, mark the rectangle, the standard
rectangle must be like Fig 10-3

Fig 10-3: Standard Marking Rectangle

Mark standard order：left to right mark line 1，then up to down mark line 2，then down
to up mark the short line，Then mark the rectangle clockwise.
If mark the rectangle is not according to the standard order or the rectangle is
Not like the standard rectangle, we should calibrate the mark direction on the control
Panel, Enter Proofread / Parameter Set, then set “X/Y interconvert”, “X Axis Mirror”, “Y Axis
Mirror” to calibrate.

63
 Calibration method：
(1) If Marked rectangle like following figure( short line is on the vertical line), We should
change the value of “X/Y interconvert”!

(2) Marked rectangle like following figure(short line is on the left of vertical line):
If the value of “X/Y interconvert” is “Yes”, We need change the “Y Axis Mirror” value.
If the value of “X/Y interconvert” is “No”, We need change the “X Axis Mirror” value.

64
 (3) The rectangle is not marked anticlockwise:
If the value of “X/Y interconvert” is “Yes”, We need change the “X Axis Mirror” value.
If the value of “X/Y interconvert” is “No”, We need change the “Y Axis Mirror” value.

After calibrate Mark Direction, then we begin rectangle calibration.

Step 2: Rectangle (Deformation) Calibration

The purpose of rectangle calibration is making sure processed result without deformation
phenomena, follow the following steps and calibrate:
(1) Calibrate Center Offset, include X-Offset and Y-Offset.(calibration range -9999 to 9999)
(2) Calibrate Pincushion deformation, include X-Pincushion and Y-Pincushion.
（we called concavo-convex deformation also, calibration range is 0.9 to 1.1）
(3) Calibrate Trapezoid deformation, include X-Trapezoid and Y-Trapezoid.
( calibration range is 0.9 to 1.1)
(4) Calibrate Parallelogram deformation, include X-Parallelogram and Y-Parallelogram.
( calibration range is 0.9 to 1.1)

Calibration Method:

Click button to mark the rectangle, check the

rectangle, if there is any aberrances, we should calibrate each deformation correction

coefficient. The following are examples of deformation rectangle.

right!
（1）X-Direction Dimension Calibration:

69
 Fig 10-7: X-Direction Dimension Calibration

Calibration Step：

(1) Click , Mark the standard test Scale Lines. see Fig 10-8

(2) Fill all the actual distance between the making scale-line and the center-line in the
corresponding edit frame.

(3) Click , Mark the calibration Lines, see Fig 10-9, Then check the distance

between each lines. Whether it is 2mm, if not, you should redo the step 2.

As the same procedure as X-Direction Dimension Calibration.
After Dimension Calibration, Click Finish, the software will save the calibration file in it’s
folder and pop-up Fig 10-11 to backup the calibration file.

71
 Fig 10-11: Backup the calibration file
Then after Galvo Calibration, You must use the calibration file

10.3 Distance Calibration

We must calibrate Distance Calibration on the control panel, follow the steps and
Calibrate:
(1) Find the distance setting on the control panel! It’s System Setting / Distance
Setting / Head 1, Refer to following figures:

(2) Press pre-setting on the control panel when your control panel at the state of fig 8-
15. the machine will output two instantaneous laser beam, one is from Galvo Head and one
is from Normal Cut Head. If the two laser beam’s spot is not the same place, we must
calibrate the distance between the two head. So we called distance calibration. To enter X /
Y, and input the value, then press “Set” back to the state of figure 8-15, press pre-setting to
check whether two spot are superposition. Here X/Y value are the relative position From
Normal Cut Head to Galvo Head’s spot when X/Y’s value are 0.

10.4 Rotate Calibration

We suggest calibrate Rotate Calibration on the control panel, Find Proofread on the panel,
then enter it , find rotate-angle, change the value and save. The calibration range is -3 to 3
degree.
First, We should judge whether we need doing Rotate Calibration:
Drawing one 100*100 rectangle in the software, select the rectangle and use the Array
Tool, check “virtual array process”, fill row and column as 0, fill row num and col num as 2. then
click OK. You will get the view as fig 10-12 showing.

72
 Fig 10-12: Rectangle
Then, down the data to the mainboard, and process it. Check the result carefully,
And the following result indicate we need calibrate the rotate.

A B
Fig 10-13: Result with rotate
A: The result has little rotation with anticlockwise, we need change the value as a
negative degree, such as -0.3. then save the change and process again then check the
difference.
B: The result has little rotation with clockwise, we need change the value as a positive
degree, such as 0.3. then save the change and process again then check the difference.

73
 Process Parameters Setting

After Calibration, The following two things you must do:

(1) For Galvanometer, you must use the calibration file. You can Refer to Galvo
Parameters Setup, See Fig 10-1
