5.2 AB Position for Precise Engraving

The AB Position feature in the Luban software streamlines your workflow by allowing you to define a rectangular engraving area using two points, A and B. This ensures precise graphic placement on your material.

  1. Select Points: In Luban, manually position the laser head to define point A, then set it. Repeat for point B.
  2. Define Area: The software will automatically define a rectangular engraving area based on these two points.
  3. Aurreview and Engrave: Aurreview the engraving path and proceed with the operation.

5.3 Easy-to-Focus Mechanism

Achieving optimal focus is crucial for high-quality engraving. The module offers two focus methods:

  • Auto-Focus (Material Touch Measuring): Position the execution head in Luban to locate the material. Use the focus lever on the module to touch the material surface. The module will automatically adjust to the correct focal distance.
  • Manual Measuring: Adjust focus by manually measuring the material thickness and inputting the value into the software.
