The beam must be centered in the tip.
Move the tip to the center of Z-
axis travel for the best possible
results.
Check the beam alignment during
initial installation or whenever the
fiber, collimator optics or focus
optics are replaced.
Do not look directly into the red
beam.
Visually locating the beam inside
the tip orifice can be difficult.
Adequate lighting and a
magnifying glass are highly
recommended.
If necessary, Laser Mechanisms
offers an alternative solution. See
To manually center the beam in the
gas jet tip (see
):
1. Verify that the high power beam is
disabled.
2. Put a piece of translucent tape on
the end of the gas jet tip.
3. Turn on the red aiming beam from
the fiber laser and observe the
position of the beam on the tape.
If the beam is not centered in the
gas jet tip orifice, proceed to step
4.
4. Adjust the opposing XY
) so the beam is centered in the
nozzle orifice.
Loosen the adjustment screw
in the desired direction then
tighten the opposing screw
(180° away, on the opposite
side of the head).
One set of screws adjusts the
X direction. The other set of
screws adjusts the Y
direction.
Some trial and error may be
necessary.
The image on the screen
should be similar to
Verify all screws are tight
after adjustment is
complete.
