Z control for Galvo

There’s a very limited number of lasers that have Z control for the galvo head accessible to software - we do have a Focus Test tool - but it does not currently work with Galvo devices.

Hello Colin , I’ve already found it. If it wanted to try to try tomorrow, so then can adjust the optimal height, or check the autofocus . Actually, I wanted to engrave curved surfaces , at least I get out when I have to lower the Z axis further to stay in the optimal area. During the engraving, the rider " Movement" is available with another surface. This means that the adjustment must then be done by hand. Galco - mirror head ? L.G. Wool

When you say currently does not work, is it on the cards that it may work at some stage :)..

What a read through all of this. I was wondering the same thing, as I already have a motorized z axis and just was able to plug and play to the rotary port, and man would it be nice if there was an option. i did some test runs and obviould it just makes straight lines in rotary mode, but it even just testing it follows contours so well, and when doing a lot of glass would save so much time and headache if there was something available for this to be an option, or adapt the rotary option, or just something else that doesnt require a 2.5 or 3d galvo. or even a setting in cylinder correction where you can set heights and have it associated with the movement of the “rotary” that is now the z axis over the designated work curve. hopefully something comes out!
