Aligning Laser
Beam Path
The primary laser beam path is directed by three
mirrors before passing through a focus lens to
the focal point on the workpiece, as shown in
Figure 103. The included low-power reference
laser connected to Mirror #1 can be used as a
visual reference point when adjusting alignment.
Proper alignment of the laser beam path is critical
to power efficiency, cutting/engraving quality, and
laser tube service-life.
