186Description13 Uniform Spot Mode (only LP-M / LP-Z series) :To keep a uniform diameter of the laser spot within the marking field, specify this mode. The spot size is adjustedto the selected plane. The laser spot will have the same diameter in the area between N-plane and the selectedplane. This condition is required for setting when the line width is differed due to the marking place. “F-plane” (Farplane) is selected as the default setting mode.Setting Mode DescriptionOFF Sets when not using the uniform mode.The spot size will be adjusted according to the each coordinate.N-plane (Near) By selecting this mode, the spot diameter becomes uniform within the marking field on N-plane (theshortest work distance).B-plane (Base) By selecting this mode, the spot diameter will be adjusted to B-plane (the specification value of thework distance).The laser spot will have the same diameter in the area between N-plane and the B-plane.F-plane (Far) By selecting this mode, the spot diameter will be adjusted to F-plane (the longest work distance).The laser spot will have the same diameter in the area between N-plane and the F-plane.Custom(LP-M Series Only)Specify the marking field (X/Y field and Z position), where the laser spot size is kept to be uniform.The laser spot will have the same diameter in the specified XY field between N-plane and thespecified Z position.XY Field Specify the length of X and Y axis for the marking field, in which the laser spot size is kept to beuniform.The center position of the XY field is always the center of the original marking field.Setting Range0 to 120 mm (LP-M200/M500/MA00)0 to 220 mm (LP-M205/M505/MA05)0 to 330 mm (LP-MA06)Z Position Specify the Z position to which spot diameter the laser spot size in the specified XY field isadjusted. The laser spot will have the same diameter in the area between N-plane and theselected Z position. To specify the N-plane direction from B-plane, input 0 mm to +22 mm. Tospecify the F-plane direction from B-plane, input 0 mm to -22 mm.Setting Range -22 to +22 mmWork distance of the each planeModel N-plane B-plane F-planeLP-M200/M500/MA00 168 mm 190 mm 212 mmLP-M205/M505/MA05 198 mm 220 mm 242 mmLP-MA06 308 mm 330 mm 352 mmLP-Z130/Z250 165 mm 190 mm 215 mmLP-Z256 305 mm 330 mm 355 mmReference• In case of not setting the Uniform Spot mode, the spot diameter on the outer of the center of the coordinate becomeslarger.• In case of setting the Uniform Spot mode, the spot diameter becomes thicker because the spot diameter is uniformedbased on the thickest spot diameter on each marking plane.(The spot diameter becomes larger from N-plane, B-plane, and F-plane in sequence.)N-plane (Near)B-plane (Base)F-plane (Far)ME-LPMSZ-OP-7
