Move, machine position and Home
The Move tab controls laser-off positioning on a qualified connection. Read Laser safety and follow the engraver manufacturer’s instructions before requesting motion.
Read Machine X and Y
Machine X/Y comes from the controller’s machine coordinate report. It can be negative. Use Optional measured bed reference to tell LaserStudio where the head is physically located, measured from the bed’s front-left. Application bed-edge checking depends on that reference.
Choose a positioning control
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Direction arrows | Requests a jog using the selected distance and speed. Diagonal arrows move both axes. |
| Home | Requests the controller’s homing cycle when the controller and checks allow it. Homing clears the measured bed reference. |
| Stop movement | Requests cancellation of active positioning. Use the manufacturer’s emergency stop procedure if motion cannot be stopped safely from the app. |
Check placement after homing
Home uses the controller’s homing switches and its configured axes. Review the clearance and switch checks shown by LaserStudio. Re-establish the measured bed reference before relying on it for a later placement check. See Work area and job origin.
