Z Axis Motion

The role of the Z-axis motion is to match the surface height of the workpiece to the focal length of the laser, ensuring optimal energy density. The focus does not need to be adjusted in this way frequently between identical parts, but is needed to achieve consistent marking behavior and positioning accuracy.

_{Note: The red area is the laser marking area, the green area is the range of motion of the workpiece under the Z-axis.}

XY+Z Axis Motion

The role of the XY axis is to move and position the workpiece relative to the processing head of the laser.
This cost-effective configuration, which is widely used throughout the industry, can achieve micron level accuracy by using closed-loop feedback from the encoder, or sub-micron accuracy by using grating code.

Sample figures: Three different sizes of towers: XY12, 18, 24

_{Note: The green area is the range of motion of the workpiece under the XY platforms stroke.}

R + Z Axis Motion

The role of the rotary axis is to flip and rotate the workpiece, which enables the laser to machine multiple faces of the workpiece, or to engrave around a cylindrical workpiece.
