The XY work origin corresponds to the (0,0) coordinate origin in Luban. The machine will only perform tasks in the expected area if the two origins are set consistently.
For example, if the origin position of a project set in Luban is the center of the workpiece, you should set the work origin at the center of the workpiece as well.
You can change the coordinate origin in Luban's Job Setup.
If you are using the 10W Laser Module or the 1.6W Laser Module on Ray, you need to select Laser Sopt as the Job Offset Mode in Luban's Job Setup. Otherwise, the laser module will not emit any light to faciliate locating while you are setting the work origin.
¶ Before You Start
Adjust the laser height.
If you set the work origin first, the horizontal position of the toolhead may change while adjusting the laser height.
¶ Procedures
- Manually move the module horizontally until the center of the red crosshairs or the laser spot falls on the desired position of the work origin.
The physical offset between the center point of the red crosshairs and the laser will be compensated for by the algorithm. Therefore, the center point position of the red crosshairs is the actual position of the work origin.
- Click Run Boundary and then press the work switch to verify the machining area corresponding to the current working origin. If it does not match the expectation, you can continue adjusting the position of the work origin or rotating the material.
After you click Run Boundary in Luban, a run-boundary file will be generated and transferred to the machine. When you press the work switch, the machine will run the boundary based on that transferred file.
If the laser module bumps into the machine, press the emergency stop button or turn off the machine immediately.
