4. CHECKING AND CALIBRATING YOUR RL510
This chapter is very important. Here are a few simple instructions
to check your RL510 for calibration. Remember that the laser is a
precision instrument and that it is important that you keep it calibrated
and in proper condition.
The accuracy of your job is completely your responsibility and you should
regularly check your instrument, especially prior to important jobs.
The laser has 3 axes: X and Y (horizontal) and Z (vertical), as indicated on
top of the laser housing.
Each end of each axis must be checked for calibration. If needed, the
axis can be calibrated, carefully following the instructions. You can also
take the laser to a service center for calibration.
Check and calibrate in this order:
Check both sides of X axis.
•
If X is within spec, proceed to check both sides of Y
•
If X needs calibration, calibrate X
Check both sides of Y axis.
•
If Y is within spec, proceed to final X to Y check
•
If Y needs calibration, calibrate Y; proceed to X to Y check
Final X to Y check: compare X, X’, Y, Y’
Check Z and calibrate if necessary.
4.1 Calibration Overview
Calibration is electronic, using the remote control or laser detector. The
keypad of the laser may also be used, but it will take longer due to the
laser making self-adjustments during movement.
If the beam is visible, calibrate using the non-rotating point. If it’s too
bright to see the beam, you’ll use the laser detector and will need to
have the beam rotating. When you’re in calibration mode, press the
scan key on the detector to rotate the beam.
