Autofocus: Automatic Focal Length Adjustment

Autofocus is a feature that automatically positions the laser system at the correct distance from the surface to be marked.

The system measures the distance between the laser head and the workpiece and automatically adjusts the vertical position of the equipment until the working distance required for marking is achieved. This simplifies an operation that, without this feature, would require manually adjusting the system’s height.

Autofocus is particularly useful in production environments where parts of varying heights are handled or frequent format changes occur, helping to maintain proper focusing conditions before starting the marking process.

Advantages

Simplifies focus adjustment

The system determines the required distance and automatically positions the laser, reducing the number of manual operations needed before marking.

Facilitates format changes

When working with parts of different heights, Autofocus automatically adapts the equipment’s position to the new part.

Promotes process repeatability

Automatic positioning helps maintain consistent focus conditions across different marking operations.

Reduces adjustment errors

By automating height positioning, reliance on manual adjustments by the operator is reduced.

Simplifies equipment operation

Automatic focusing simplifies application setup and allows you to proceed with the standard marking process afterward.

Improves production flexibility

It makes it easier to work with parts of different heights within the same production environment.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Autofocus is a feature that measures the distance between the laser system and the part and automatically adjusts the equipment’s position until the correct distance for marking is achieved.

It is used to facilitate focusing the laser on the surface to be marked, eliminating the need to manually adjust the height every time application conditions change.

The system measures the distance to the part’s surface and moves the laser unit vertically until it reaches the correct position for marking.

Yes. Autofocus makes it easier to adapt the system when the height of the surface to be marked changes, reducing the need for manual readjustments.

No. Autofocus automatically adjusts the system’s position to set the proper focal distance before marking. In contrast, 3D laser marking is designed to dynamically adjust the focus during the process and work on surfaces of varying heights within the same marking area.
