This product and video are very useful taking the subjectivity out of alignment. I am a newbie, but was able to go through and align my newly received 100w Monport laser in about an hour including double and triple checking it. Now my pulse dot is tiny and perfectly round. Thank You!
Amazing that when aligning my mirrors I come to the same conclusion that i would need to be hitting high of centre as you displayed to be hitting the lense correctly but i had not seen it mentioned elsewhere that this might be the case.
This is an extremely insightful and informative video. Thank you for sharing it Mr.Walters. (Also... had to have a peak at Zemax... those graphs are so informative I kindof wanna make some myself).
would be helpful to show real world results. Take a machine and center it using traditional method and make some sample pieces. Then take same machine and center everything using your reverse method and make the same samples and show the difference or improvement in the samples.
So from this you are saying that it is best to have the laser beam hit top center on the 3rd mirror to get the best possible burn, because I am getting a lot of charring when I cut on my k40 with the cloudray laser head. Thank you
no I am not saying that. depending on how they manufactured your head. the perfect entry point might be high of center (like the one i showed in the video)
I would like these products - the k head and focusing lens, beam aligner etc. I have been on the American photonics website but cannot find things easily. Can you give me a link, please?

My 80W monport looked like a blind man aligned mine
Nice clear explanation. Thanks!
Thank you!

That is eye-opening.

Cool idea. Good job I got a lathe
Thank you !
Wow! This blew me away. Great information. Do you know what size lens the blue and gray Chinese 50w co2 laser has?
Thanks for the info.
Thank YOU for watching our video! ;)

Steve you mentioned some focus lens are glued by the laser manufacturers
I have a laser they glued , what glue do they use?

Where do you get the little alignment tool that you put in the head to see the alignment that you showed?

2 thoundths... And point zero five. Aren't even close to the same number....
.002
.05
So I'm confused thirty seconds in...
.002" = .05mm
I just can't understand your explanations! :(
