Attaching the Laser Head to the X-Y CNC
- The parts needed for mounting the laser head on the X-Y CNC are shown below:
- The following are reccomended for the assembly:
- Hex keys: 2mm, 3mm
- Double-sided tape
- Standard terminal adapter
- First, rest the laser head such that the 4x M3 x 6mm mounting holes are facing up.
- Position the black anodized Aluminium mounting plate over the laser head such that the mounting holes are aligned, as shown in the photos below.:
- Then, attach the mounting plate to the laser head using 4x M3 screws (the smaller ones) with the washers.
- Insert the 4 larger screws through the outer holes of the mounting plate, and then insert the plastic spacers on them from the other side, as shown in the photos below:
- Position the subassembly on the CNC carraige. Align the threaded plates from the other side, which act as nuts, against which to fasten the screws.
