Auto Focus: To achieve optimum image and edge quality, the laser beam must be focused to its smallest spot size at the point where it contacts your material. Auto-focusing the laser beam is simply a matter of using a motorized table lift and a sensor to move the table up or down until the top of the work surface is the correct distance from the focus lens. Manufacturers use different methods to achieve automatic focusing, so you should determine if one method works better for you than another.
