I noticed a little red laser beam can be turned on in my TesaVisio 300 DCC. I see no reference to it anywhere in the docs, and it never came up in the training. What's it for?
Hi, this is a positional laser, and it has two main uses.
1) As it is approximately in line with the optics, so when programming without CAD, you can switch it on (from the button on the first Probe Toolbox page), and you can then see the laser illuminate on the surface of the part. You can then move the joystick to help position to the feature you want to teach.
2) It can optionally be used during focus to help illuminate parts that the lamps struggle to get enough contrast on. In the Focus parameter section in the Probe Toolbox, switch the "Laser" parameter to ON. Note, in V4.3 - this parameter is called "Focus Assist", and allows toggling between NONE, LASER and PROJECTED GRID. The options available obviously depend on the capabilities of the machine.
