How to Calibrate the Red Light Position of the Welding Gun (Laser Welder Only)

Updated Jun 20,2025

The adjustment of the red light center directly affects welding and cutting quality. Please ensure it is calibrated before operation.

For welding with pre-installed nozzle, most cases only require left-right centering, which can be adjusted through the smart touchscreen.
When using a handheld cutting tip, if the red light is weak or misaligned vertically, a screwdriver should be used to adjust up or down.

For specific operational methods, please refer to the video and illustrated steps.

This tutorial is only for calibration of laser welder. If you wanna calibrate the red light position on the CNC cutter, refer to: How to Calibrate the Welding Gun Light Position of xTool MetalFab on CNC Cutter?
