  • Page 2 Conventions: The right hand side of the machine is where the control panel is located. When facing the front of the machine, left is your left, and right is your right (toward the control panel). To make the process easier to understand the corners of the engraving area will be labeled as follows: Corner Position LEFT FRONT...
  • Page 3 Pre-Alignment Testing This portion of the alignment procedure determines if the laser and the Red Dot Pointer are in alignment. This is a critical step, as it allows us to use the Red Dot pointer as a visual reference and greatly limits the amount of time that the laser is operated with the side covers removed.
  • Page 4 8. Move the lens carriage to the lower right hand side of the engraver and inspect the position of the red dot compared to the position of the mark that the laser beam left on the tape. If the laser and the red dot are coaxial or aligned, the red dot will be over the mark left by the laser.
  • Page 5 Picture 2b 2. Behind this panel you will find the laser tube. Attached to the end of the laser tube is the Red Dot pointer. The Red dot pointer is identified by the arrow shown in Picture 3. Picture 3 3.
  • Page 6 4. Use the adjustment screws located on the Red Dot mount to change the position of the Red Dot on the target. Make the necessary adjustments to move the Red Dot pointer over the top of the mark left by the laser.
  • Page 7 Throughout the rest of this procedure the Red Dot pointer will be used as a visual reference to aid in the alignment process. There should be no need to operate the laser to complete the remainder of this procedure. 6. Invoke the Red Dot pointer by depressing the “Pointer” button on the engravers display panel and make sure to remove the tape from the target that was used previously to check the alignment with the burn.
  • Page 8 10. On the back of each mirror mount are three 3/32 Allen (Hex) screws. The adjustment screws for mirror 1 are shown in the picture 8 below. Picture 8 11. Move the lens carriage to table Position #1 and verify the location of the red dot pointer on the target. If the red dot is not aligned to the center of the target, use the Mirror # 1 and the diagram below to adjust the red dot pointer until it is aligned to the center of the target.
  • Page 9 12. The next step is to verify the alignment in all 4 corners of the table. Slowly move the lens carriage from Position #1 to Position #2, observing the location of the red dot pointer on the target. The red dot pointer should stay within the center ring of the target.
  • Page 10 14. Next, move the lens carriage to Position #3 on the table and check the alignment of the red dot on the target. If the red dot is not in the center at this position, use Steering Mirror #3 and the diagram below, Picture 11, to adjust the red dot pointer to the center of the target.
