TESTS & ALIGNMENTS
Mirror Alignment Overview
Observe all provided warnings and safety instructions prior to and
when using the Dremel LC40 Laser Cutter. Failure to do so may
result in fire, equipment damage, property damage and/or personal injury, up to and
including death.
Fig. 28
Alignment of the mirrors is performed
before the Dremel LC40 Laser Cutter is
shipped. However, before the Dremel
LC40 Laser Cutter unit is used for the
first time and periodically during its use,
the mirror alignment should be checked
and adjusted if necessary.
Misalignment most often occurs when:
• Gantry is manually moved while the
motors are locked,
• Air Assist Nozzle is displaced,
• Laser Tube is replaced,
• mirrors / lens are replaced, or
• during shipping.
Alignment of the mirrors is necessary to
ensure that the Laser Beam remains
properly aligned with the Focus Lens as
the Laser Head moves to all four corners
of the workspace. After alignment, the
Laser Beam should be centered on the
Focus Lens and perpendicular to it.
Improperly aligned Laser Beam will result
in the focus point being out of line with
the centerline of the Laser Head (Fig. 28).
