Digital technologies/Laser cutting/Laser cutting- Intermediate/Preview cutting by opening the lid

If you are not sure if your laser job will go off your material. You can open the lid of the laser to check your job. With the lid open, a job will go through the movements without firing the laser itself. The laser on a machine like ours is invisible to our eyes, as it is in the infrared spectrum. You may see a pointer; this is a low power laser used to see where the beam will land. If a laser job stopped randomly, you can use the lid to continue it where you left off. Holding the lid open until the point where the laser stopped and then closing it will continue the job.
