24.23 Marking field calibration

24.23.1 Calibrate the marking field

With the calibration function, you can adjust the marking field position when it is misaligned.
Calibrate the marking field if the fiber unit was removed and re-installed. Marking field
calibration is available for LP-RF and LP-RV.
The marking field calibration is based on the x-/y-axis of head direction "No. 1". Make sure
the head direction is set to "No. 1" before calibrating the marking field.
Make sure that the fiber unit is properly mounted to the head of the laser marking system.
For details about the mounting procedure, refer to the "Setup and Maintenance Guide".
