VLS honeycomb bed crashes into air assist cone

Note ?

IF a new computer is connected to a VLS laser and auto Z is not set, then the software will not know where the bed is and not home and hence could cause the bed to crash into the air assist cone

The auto z only raises the bed or drops the bed to where it thinks the focus point should be.

It is best to home the Z axis each time you power up the laser cutter. The VLS 2.3/3.5 model needs to be told to home manually. It may be worth installing the fume extraction alarms in which is a option to "Home Z on Power Up".

The VLS range and not the VL range as specified in the title

Before using Versalaser make calibrations for all kind of options.
Without calibrations Versalaser does not know where is "0" point and rise table very high.
Versalaser store calibrating value in memory on the CPU board. So it does not matter what computer you use with Versalaser.

The VLS range of Laser's unlike the VL range stores the height settings on the PC and not the Laser CPU

Where? What file stores the height settings?

The z datum position is stored on the lasers CPU.

You cannot access it. Just recalibrate.

First calibrate the lens to the engraving table then calibrate the cutting table.
