How to Replace the 110mm Field Lens with a 200mm Field Lens on a Fiber Laser Engraver?

Installation Steps

Step 1: Install the 200mm Field Lens

Remove the 110mm lens by unscrewing it by hand.
Install the 200mm field lens by screwing it in place.

Step 2: Re-adjust the Focus

Adjust the focus since the focal length changes with the new lens.
Refer to the operation manual, specifically the section on adjusting focus.

Step 3: Field Lens 9-Point Calibration

1.Open Calibration Software

Open the USB folder.
Open the “EZCAD for ComMarker” folder.
Select the 200mm folder.
Open the software “CorFile2” (ensure EZCAD is closed first).

2.Set Laser Source Parameters

Click “F1”, set laser source parameters, select “IPG” and click “OK”.

3.Prepare Calibration Surface

Stick two pieces of paperboard together on the back cover with tape.
Place it on the work table ensuring the paperboard is flat.

4.Mark Calibration Points

Click “F3” to mark a 9-point rectangle. The graph will display the marked points.

5.Adjust Pattern to Match Marking

Click the button on the top-right corner to change the pattern until it matches the marking on the paperboard.

6.Measure and Input Coordinates

Measure the coordinate position of each point on the paperboard.
Use point 5 as the center coordinate (0,0).
Input the measured coordinates into the corresponding columns in the dialog box.
Click “OK” to save and return to the upper interface.

Note: Ensure the ruler is absolutely horizontal or vertical and measurement lines go through the 9 points.

7.Generate Calibration File

Click “F6” to generate a calibration file.
Specify a file name (e.g., “200 B4 ComMarker”).
Save the file and remember the directory location.

8.Verify Calibration

Click “F7” to verify calibration.
Open the saved calibration file.
Click “F8” to mark the calibrated rectangle.

Note: If the marked rectangle is regular, the calibration is successful. If deformed, recalibration is necessary.

9.Import Calibration File in EZCAD2

Import the calibration file for the 200mm lens in EZCAD2.
Refer to the operation manual for importing correction files.
