Mirror Alignment Tips:
• The best way to get a sense of how the alignment works is to adjust the
knobs and monitor how the adjustment affects the position and shape of
your beam - both at the target before the lens and the sheets after the lens.
Screws 1 and 4 move the beam vertically, screws 2 and 3 adjust horizontal
position.
• Generally speaking, Mirror 2 will be used to set the final vertical and lateral
positions, and Mirror 1 is used to “fill” Mirror 2. Issues with ellipse width/
height (too narrow/short), rotation, twisting, or clipping result from poor
alignment of Mirror 1. Adjust knobs 1 and 2 until the ellipse almost fills the
template — centering the ellipse on the target with knobs 3 and 4 on Mirror 2
as you go.
• If the beam is not entering the lens straight, the focal distance left-to-right will
be slightly different, resulting in a pattern similar to the “mirrors not square”
example above. Adjust the lateral aiming of the beam to correct for this.
