of the engraver.
13. Reconnect the engraver to power and
boot up the machine, ensuring proper
boot sequence.
Updates and Calibrations
The x-axis assembly contains many
components, including circuit boards,
cameras, and a motor. Further procedures
are required.
Updating the Carriage Camera
1. On the display, press the gear icon to
enter the Settings menu:
2. Press and hold the word “Settings” that
appears at the touch of the touchpad
to gain access to the Advanced
Settings menu:

3. Enter the Diagnostics menu and scroll to
the Camera tab. Press Test & Update:
4. Press Update:
5. Allow the engraver to complete the
update. Once done, a success message
will appear:
Updating the Peripherals
1. At the display panel, press the gear icon
in the upper right-hand corner of the
display to open the Settings menu:

2. Press Program to enter the Peripheral
Update menu:
3. Once in the Peripheral Update menu,
select Motor Drives and FPGA. Press
Update:
When running a peripheral update, do not
power o the engraver. During a peripher-
al update it is common for the display to
power o. Once the update has been ap-
plied, the engraver will prompt to restart.
4. Once the engraver prompts you to
restart, power cycle the engraver.
Calibrating the Focus
Focus Calibrations for CO2- Only
Engravers
Focus calibration must be completed in
the order outlined in this procedure.
Table Calibration
The table calibration is a crucial step in
the laser focus calibration. During this
procedure, the table moves from the top
to the bottom of the z-axis, locating the
magnetic sensors along the z-axis PCB. This
step must be completed for a successful
and accurate focus calibration.
Before completing the table calibration
install the raster table.
Since the table will rise to depress the
autofocus plunger, use the Jog feature
to position the lens carriage in a position
which will prevent the autofocus plunger
and lens cone from coming into contact
with the le and or top ruler guides.
1. On the display, press the gear icon to
enter the Settings menu:

PRO 32 & 48 X-AXIS ASSEMBLY

2. Once in the Settings menu, press
the Focus button to enter the Focus
Commands/Calibrations menu:
3. Press the Table button:
4. Press the Start button to start the table
calibration:
4. Allow the engraver to complete the
calibration. Once complete, a success
message should appear.
Move to the CO2 Focus Procedure.
CO2 Focus Calibration
The CO2 focus calibration establishes
the focal height of the laser and manual
focus gauge. You will run a small job while
adjusting the table height to find the
correct focal height.
A small piece of anodized aluminum (at
least 3” x 3” or 75mm x 75mm) is required to
complete this procedure.
1. Open your preferred illustrating
program and create a black, raster box
measuring ~2” x 2” or 50mm x 50mm.
2. Send the job to the Soware Suite.
3. Ensure that the process shows as an
engraving job and set the both power
and speed at 5-10%.
If completing the procedure on the Fusion
Pro 32, place the artwork and material
in the upper le corner of the engraving
table, ensuring that the artwork appears
over the anodized aluminum.
If completing the procedure on the Fusion
Pro 48, place the artwork and material in
the center of the engraving table, ensuring
that the artwork appears over the anod-
ized aluminum.
4. Send the job to the engraver.

PRO 32 & 48 X-AXIS ASSEMBLY
11
5. Once the job is running, press the Focus
button and slightly raise and lower the
table with the joystick while observing
the spark coming from the laser hitting
the anodized aluminum:
6. While raising and lowering the table,
find the height where the spark appears
the brightest. If it is diicult to determine,
turn o any overhead lights in the room.
7. Once the appropriate table height is
found, use the touchpad to lower the
power to 3-5%:
8. Continue to raise and lower the table
height with the lower power setting to
find the height where the spark appears
the brightest.
Using the lower power setting allows you to
more finely dial in the correct focal height
as the spark fades very quickly when the
material becomes out of focus.
9. Once the correct focal height has been
found, let go of the joystick and press
the Go/Stop button to stop the job. Then
press the Reset button to return the
laser head back to the home position.
10. Remove the anodized aluminum from
the engraver.
11. On the display, press the gear icon to
enter the Settings menu:
12. Once in the Settings menu, press
the Focus button to enter the Focus
Commands/Calibrations menu:

PRO 32 & 48 X-AXIS ASSEMBLY

13. Press the CO2 Focus button:
14. Ensure that the material thickness used
during the previous step is entered in
the Thickness box. If using anodized
aluminum provided by Epilog Laser, the
default value of 0.025” corresponds to
the material.
15. Press the Start button. This calibration is
very fast as the engraver simply notes
and saves the current position of the
table.
16. Press Done.
Move to the Autofocus Calibration
procedure.
Autofocus Calibration
The autofocus calibration takes note of,
saves, and uses the CO2 focus calibration
value to ensure that the table moves to
the correct focal height when running a
job with the autofocus enabled. During this
calibration, the table will rise up, depress
the autofocus plunger, and then move
back to the appropriate focal height.
Before completing the table calibration
install the raster table.
Since the table will rise to depress the
autofocus plunger, use the Jog feature
to position the lens carriage in a position
which will prevent the autofocus plunger
and lens cone from coming into contact
with the le and or top ruler guides.
