OMTech's newest models AF2028-60 , AF2028-80, and the AF2435-80 include the integrated autofocus laser head. In order to use an American Photonics laser nozzle you must install their adapter to accept a 16mm laser tube diameter. Other Autofocus models use 16.15 mm. Be sure to double check the tube diameter if your model is not listed above
Update: also includes the AF2440-100e (ebay version not the omtech website AF2440-100. They have two different laser heads.)

Great video! Thanks for making this new part known!
Thank you for this video. I recently got this exact kit. Two things I want to add to this.
1. I have a red/black Omtech AF2440 100W Laser and it comes with this exact style nozzle.
2. I noticed the adaptor from American Photonics was a bit loose for me and it would be difficult to remove nozzles without taking out the whole adaptor with it. So the solution is to apply a whole lot of plumbers tape around the tread to make it thicker and then it will be nice and snug allowing me to swap nozzles with ease.
I would highly recommend this kit with the 4 nozzles from AP. Don’t forget to get the lens cleaning kit from them. My results were so amazing compared to Omtechs stock lenses.
Thank you for sharing your experience!
I have the blue and black af2440 and am very confused as to what kit to buy from apc ?
You need the 16.15mm kit.
@inc55 - thank you for commenting! I just got the same model as you. This video and your comment put me on the right track with the AF in my system.
Great Video!
I've followed the directions for changing the focal length multiple times, but my machine still doesn't adjust correctly. It still has a ~19mm focal length. Any ideas why?
Go into your vendor settings > Z axis setting > z home offset
Is that number zero? It should be.
@@EdmondsWoodshop changing that to 0 definitely helped! Still didn't have as easy of a time as you did in the video. I had to set my focus distance to 16.6 to get the 10mm between the piece and the nozzle.
I have an older (3 years) AF2028 with the older autofocus pen. Where can I get the new tube with the integral plunger style autofocus and pointer? Can't find it on the Omtech website. I am thinking it may take a different wiring system.
I've only seen one person successfully buy it through OMTech and he did it buy calling and asking to purchase one over the phone. I'd imagine wiring would lead straight to the driver and it would be an easy swap of the laser head. I'd recommend calling.
How would you adjust this particular head if the focus is off meaning to low
American photonics makes their laser nozzles so that the focus should be 10mm. Thats the thickness of a battery. You need to calibrate your autofocus settings to ensure the autofocus is set correctly.
1. Go into lightburn and ensure your laser is on and communicating with lightburn
2. Go to EDIT > MACHINE SETTINGS > MISCELLANEOUS > FOCUS DISTANCE > enter the focal distance you measured > select WRITE > press RESET on your controller to accept changes
What does this upgraded nozzle do exactly?
This is a higher quality lens compared to your stock lens. The cut quality is a lot cleaner and they take the guess workout out of setting up the focal distance.
question? i have a Omtech 60W with auto focus and just purchase the lens LM-18-Z-50.8-ET2.0-DBAR - 18mm Focus Lens 2mm, how can i get the machine to use the auto focus with out buying the black ( nozzle) cone, please help
If you bought a loose lens then simply swap out the stock loose lens with the new loose lens.
@@EdmondsWoodshop thanks so much for the prompt reply, thanks
