7.10 Beam alignment
1. Tool preparation, 3 mm (or 4 mm) Allen wrench and transparent tape.
2. Reset the focus to 0.
3. Stick the transparent tape on the cutting nozzle, then adjust (1,2) two screws with the Allen
wrench to align the beam at the center of the cutting nozzle.
4. When the tape is not penetrated by the laser beam, this is because the laser beam is too off-
center. So please remove the cutting nozzle and stick the tape to the ceramic ring for beam
correction. After preliminary correction, install the upper cutting nozzle for accurate correction.
Start from a bigger nozzle (like a 4.0 mm single nozzle) then change to a smaller one until you can
see it centered with a 1.0 mm or 1.2 mm nozzle.
