STAGE 3: ALIGN MIRROR #1 TO MIRROR #2
Bec
ause the 2nd mirror moves along with the x-gantry alignment must be checked between
mirrors #1 and #2.
1. Open Safety Lid:
You will need to access the interior of the machine.
2. Place Thermal Paper:
Take a small piece of thermal paper (approx. 15 mm should be plenty)
and place it firmly over Mirror #2.
3. Position X-Gantry “Far”:
Jog or manually position the x-gantry to the lowest position
(as shown in Figure 4.8).
4. Close Safety Lid:
Safety measures should make it impossible to fire the laser with the safety
lid open. Regardless, never attempt to fire the laser with safety lid open.
5. Test Fire the Laser:
Press the Fire Laser Icon Button on the touch panel. You will see a burn
mark on the thermal paper.
6. Adjust Red Beam.
Using your 2.5m hex wrench, make micro adjustments to the three
adjustment screws of the red beam diode, and position the red dot exactly over the burn mark. Do not
worry if this places the red dot away from the center of the mirror, we will adjust to center in the next step.
