TESTS & ALIGNMENTS
4 Corner Mirror Alignment Test
Before running the first job, check to
make sure that the mirrors are properly
aligned. This test should also be
performed as a troubleshooting measure
for power loss, clipping (Laser Beam
hitting Air Assist Nozzle), or incomplete
cutting. For this alignment test the
Dremel LC40 Laser Cutter must be “test
fired” once in each corner of the machine.
This is done to make sure the Laser Beam
is following the correct path to the
mirrors, to the Laser Head, and ultimately
through the Focus Lens to the work piece.
Note: Dremel LC40 Laser Cutter Lid must
be closed for each test fire.
Materials needed:
• Thermal paper (supplied).
• 2.5mm hex wrench (supplied).
1. Open the Lid.
2. Place the thermal paper: Take a small
piece of thermal paper approximately
the same size as the face of the lens
and place it over the focus lens under
Mirror #3. Fig. 30.
3. Press the paper down with a finger so
that a circle appears that
demonstrates the outer rim of the
lens. Sometimes pencil lead or crayon
will help to show the edges of the lens
and mirrors.
