Tuning the Optics (Continued)
Adjusting the Mirrors:
An easy method for identifying exactly where the laser beam hits the mirror is to place a piece of masking tape over the
mirror, as shown in Figure 27a. Use the least adhesive tape you can find (painters' tape or masking tape, something that
will not leave residue).Next, use the "Pulse" button located on the LED Control Panel to quickly emit a laser beam. The
laser beam will quickly burn through the tape leaving its mark as shown in Figure 27b.
⚠Please use caution, this is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS if done incorrectly. If the laser is off target of the mirror, the laser
beam will shoot into the room and hit someone or something. Pay very close attention when doing this test! The laser
beam has no color and cannot be seen, the red color you see is from the red dot pointer, this is used as a guide for the
naked eye of the direction the laser beam is traveling.
Mirror Brackets:
The mirror bracket works as much like the tube bracket with additional fine screws
for micro adjustments. You will most- likely not need to use the macro-
adjustments for vertical or horizontal corrections, just the micro screws for fine
tuning.
An illustration of the mirror bracket in Figure 27c shows the fine adjustment
screws. Again, use caution and only adjust when the machine is off. If you find that
there is no burn mark on the tape after a pulse test, make a large target with a
piece of cardboard to see where the laser beam is pointing. Then, use the micro
adjustment screws on the mirror bracket to bring the beam to the center of the
mirror. One, two or all three mirrors may have to be adjusted.
For Example: If after firing a test shot no burn hole shows up on the tape, make a
large target with a piece of cardboard to see where laser mirror #1 is pointed.
Using just the fine adjustment screws, you should be able to bring the beam right
to the center of mirror #2. After tuning mirror #1 to hit mirror #2 perfectly, adjust
mirror #2 to hit the laser head dead center. Use the same masking tape technique
to adjust all the mirrors, and the tune-up will be done in little time.
