2.4 Beam Centering

2.4.1 Beam Centering Camera

The beam must be aligned parallel

and centered through the head.

 Check the beam alignment

during initial installation or

whenever the fiber or collimator

optics are replaced.

Laser Mechanisms’ beam centering

camera (PLFXT0266) is used for tip

centering and aligning the beam

through the head.

 It shows the position of the red

aiming beam in the orifice of the

gas jet tip.

 The beam centering camera

requires a Windows computer

with a USB port and Plugable

250X Digital USB Microscope

software or equivalent.

1. Download and install the latest

version Plugable 250X Digital

USB Microscope software to the

brightness (see Figure 9). 
  If it is too bright, rotate the 
brightness knob slightly, to 
suit.  
9.  Rotate the camera focus knob 
(see Figure 9) until the end of 
the gas jet tip becomes in focus 
with a clear image. See Figure 
10.  
  You should be able to see 
tooling marks on the end of 
the tip. 
 
Figure 10 
10. Move the focus lens to the top 
of travel. 
11. Adjust the beam centering 
knobs on the head (see Figure 
11) so the beam is centered in 
the nozzle orifice.

Figure 12 
Beam is centered 
It is sometimes helpful to rotate 
the camera while it is seated 
against the tip assembly nut to 
confirm the beam centering. 
12. Move the focus lens from top of 
travel to bottom of travel and 
view the beam position in the 
nozzle orifice. 
  If the beam is centered, it is 
aligned parallel and

continue to step 11.

See Figure 14.

Figure 14

Beam is NOT centered with the

Lens at the Bottom of Travel

For step 13 and 14, see Figure 15.

13. Use a 3mm hex wrench to

loosen the (4) M5 LHCS on the

collimator approximately 1/4

turn each.

 These screws use Belleville

washers that apply some

spring force when the

screws are slightly loose.

Centering in the X and

Y direction should be

adequate when the (3)

sides of the electronic

box and collimator body

are flush, as shown in

Figure 15.

If necessary, it is possible to make

small adjustments to center the

beam by moving the collimator

body.

 If desired, move the collimator

body slightly in the X and/or Y

direction.

14. Move the focus lens from

bottom of travel to top of travel

and view the beam position in

the nozzle orifice.

 If the beam is centered,

tighten the (4) M5 LHCS on

the collimator. No further

adjustments are necessary.

 If the beam is not centered,

repeat steps 8 – 13 until it

is.

Figure 15

PLMNL0232 REV. H Effective Date: 01/14/19 16 FiberCUT® 2D Operation Manual

2.4.2 Manual Beam Centering

The beam must be aligned parallel

and centered through the head.

 Check the beam alignment

during initial installation or

whenever the fiber or collimator

optics are replaced.

Do not look directly into the red

beam.

Visually locating the beam inside

the tip orifice can be difficult.

Adequate lighting and a

magnifying glass are highly

recommended.

If necessary, Laser Mechanisms

offers an alternative solution. See

Section 2.4.1, Beam Centering

Camera.

To manually center the beam in the

gas jet tip:

1. Verify that the high power beam

is disabled.

2. Put a piece of translucent tape

on the end of the gas jet tip.

3. Turn on the laser’s internal red

pointing beam and observe the

position of the beam on the

tape. If the beam is not centered

in the gas jet tip orifice, proceed

to step 4.

4. Center the beam inside the gas

jet tip orifice using the beam

centering knobs. See Figure 16.

 Some trial and error may be

necessary.
