4.3 Red Light Focus Correction

• Step 1 Confirm that the nozzle is properly installed and the laser beam is off. Turn on the laser red light and perform capacitance calibration. 
• Step 2 Turn on the MCD100 Manual Center Device and place it securely, with the red light centered on the arrow mark on the recognition window cover. Then, open the cover. 
• Step 3 Press Follow on the Remote Control, and the cutting head will automatically follow to a position 1 mm from the window. 
• Step 4 In the cutting software, adjust the focus by zooming, and gently lift the Manual Center Device alternately from side to side while observing the display of the red light on the screen.

If the red light disappears in place on the screen (meaning the relative position of the red light and the nozzle remains unchanged), then this is the zero-focus position.

If the red light disappears while shifting on the screen (meaning the relative position of the red light and the nozzle changes), then this is not the zero-focus position.

4.4 Red Light Center Detection

• Step 1 Replace the nozzle on the cutting head as required, ensure the laser beam is off, turn on the laser red light, and perform capacitance calibration.
• Step 2 Place the MCD100 Manual Center Device securely, press and hold the power button for 2 seconds to turn it on.

• Step 3 Adjust the position of the Manual Center Device so that the red light is centered on the arrow mark on the recognition window cover. Then, open the cover.

• Step 4  Press Follow on the Remote Control, and the cutting head will automatically follow to a position 1 mm from the window.
• Step 5 The Manual Center Device will automatically detect the nozzle and display the center of the red light on the screen. When the red light is not centered, the nozzle center is displayed in yellow, and the red light positioning is displayed in red. According to the screen display, manually adjust the X-Y adjustment screws on the cutting head so that both the nozzle and the red light positioning are displayed in green.

• Step 6 The center detection is complete. Lift and move the cutting head away. The interface automatically returns to its initial state. Press and hold the power button to turn the device off.
