5-14 X-axis Levelness Adjustment

Description:

If the levelness of the X-axis is not horizontal enough, the limit switch might not be touched by the laser head and resulting in a homing issue. It might also affect the results in engraving and cutting.

The X-axis has to be parallel to the sheet metal part at the front of the machine.

Tool:

• 2mm Hex Key
• A plier
• A piece of wood or acrylic (5cmx10cm) 

Step 1

Check the levelness with a piece of wood or acrylic.

Step 2

• Find the coupler and its four stop screws.

Step 3

• Loosen the four screws on the coupler.
  Use pliers to apply more torque if the screws are too tight. It's normal to hear a cracking sound when the screw becomes loose.

Step 4

• The X-axis gantry is now wobbly. This is also the way we adjust the levelness.

• Adjust the X-axis gantry as in the video below.

Step 5

After the adjustment, tighten the screws of the coupler.

Step 6

• After that, check if the gantry is wobbly (Check if the coupler is tight.).
   

• Final check for the levelness.
