Adjusting the laser head

Sometimes you might have a collision and disturb the alignment or you discover over time your cuts are not as straight as you would like for thicker cuts.

One reason for this could be the alignment of the laser head on the Y axis.

With the new redline there is no longer an adjustable mirror, however you can still adjust the beam but tilting the head slightly and making sure it is square with the bed.

First remove the little caps and loosen the 3 screws holding the head to the rail.

After the screws are loose, use a engineering square to ensure the head is 90 degrees with the bed. Top Tip ensure your bed is first level!

One you are happy it is square retighten the screws.

Be careful it does not move while you do this.

Your laser head should now be nice and square with the bed and produce straighter cuts.

Still not straight? Check alignment, if the laser does not hit the center of the 3rd mirror then the lens will correct at a light angle.
