Unlike the BeamCheck that has the focal plane set so that the camera sensor is in focus when laser focus is positioned at bed surface, the BeamPeek camera sensor is approximate 70mm (the exact value is calibrated individually for each device) over the base/machine bed. To get the beam focus on camera sensor the machine bed must move down the by the calibrated value. The reason for this setup is improved power handling: higher maximum power and longer exposure time to high power.

The BeamPeek is designed with some spare regarding overload, power or exposure time; if the recommended values were overpassed there are simple visual inspection besides the functional test that customer can perform: removal of Beam Dump tray, checking cleanliness of the protective window (can be removed and cleaned of outgassing due to very high power density or too long exposure), remove and inspect the diffusing interchangeable lens and looking thru the system aperture with lens removed to verify optics integrity in case of too high power.

Minimum response time for power measurements is 3 seconds, as for power meters with thermal head.

Yes, since the BeamPeek includes Ophir regular Power Meter.

Select the wavelength which is closest to laser wavelength, in this case 1064 is closer than 1080.
