  • Updated

Description

This page covers the installation method for the 1.5-inch lens.

Note:
The HEXA RF 1.5-inch focus lens is designed for engraving, producing finer results than the standard focus lens. This add-on is not applicable for cutting. Thus, please use the standard focus lens for cutting purposes.

Step 1

Lower the bed to the bottom by pressing the lowering button on the panel or turning the knob counterclockwise manually.

Panel Knob

Step 2

Disassemble the laser nozzle and remove the current lens.

Step 3

Prepare the 1.5-inch lens add-on.

Step 4

Reassemble the nozzle with the 1.5-inch lens.

  • Ensure the lens is in the order as the photo below.
  • Ensure that the curved/convex side of the lens is facing up.
    (A tip to determine the curved side is that it should reflect your whole face when you look at it.)
  • Ensure that the air hose is not bent.

Explanation

  • By default, the focus lens will be at the top, and the focus lens will be 4mm, meaning the distance between the nozzle tip and the surface of the material will be 4 mm.

  • Determine the Order of the Focus Mode
    Focus Mode: High-Precision Focus
    Block
    Lens
    Ring
    Nozzle

  • There will be two sides on the lens. The curved/convex side will be facing up when installing.

Step 5

Go to "Hardware Settings" to choose the default focus mode.
Machine >> Hardware Settings >> Next page >> Focus Mode >> Choose the "Close Focus" (Default)
(The installation will be done after this step.)

 

Beam Studio Setting Suggestion

  • The higher the "Resolution" setting is, the better the engraving quality is, but the time will be longer.
    (If 2000 DPI is not shown, please update Beam Studio ot the latest version.)

    (Beam Studio > Edit > Document Settings > Resolution)
    • For engraving small images, Ultra High (2000 DPI) will be recommended in order to have a finer result.
    • For engraving medium or large images, High (500 DPI) will be recommended in order to reduce the time.
  • If you feel like the engraved lines are too thick, lowering the power rate or increasing the speed will be suggested in order to reduce the strength of the laser and the duration that the laser beam contacts the material. However, the result may look lighter. 

    Please set the parameters according to the conditions of your machine, environment, and materials.
