Checking Beam Alignment
As a final step in the installation process, you need to check your beam alignment. You do this using the red
pointer beam.
1. Open the top door.
2. Place a small piece of masking tape across the 3/4” (19 mm) hole in the focus carriage (1). Gently
rub the tape around the edge of the hole so that you can see the outline of the hole through the
tape (2).
3. Power on your computer and verify that the Universal Control Panel (UCP) icon is present in the
taskbar. If it’s not, activate it by selecting the “Universal Control Panel” icon on your desktop.
4. Power on the laser system by pressing the Power switch on the side of the laser system.
5. With the top door open, a red dot will appear on the masking tape (3). The red dot should appear
centered, within 1/8 inch (3 mm). If not, turn off the laser system, remove and re-install the laser
cartridge and try again. If the red dot still does not appear centered, please contact our Customer
Service Team at support@ulsinc.com
.
6. Once you have completed laser beam alignment verification, remove the masking tape.
